Down among the dead men (and women) Coromandel Valley, South Australia, Australia
By stanleys on 23-Apr-06. Waypoint GCVKJM

Time to go!

With the number of dnfs looks like this will have to be replaced.

Can't find it oh again I have been there four times must have cache gone definetly.Please owner check it as soon as possible.Thanks

we looked, hopeful, but found reading the headstones interesting. Geohound enjoyed the day out with us!

I did not find anything in there. Albida

Oh again I have been there half hour must be gone .I think should be disbale.Please owner check it make sure.Thanks.

Hate to say I spent an hour of fruitless searching. There appears to have been alot of recent earthworks near GZ. Kept wondering if that may have been the reason I couldn't locate it?? (I'm prepared to use any excuse!!)

15 mins couldnt find it where the GPS put me, northeast corner. I can't find anything "without leaving the path" as the description suggests.

Could someone give me a clue here.

First cache for the day. Found No probs.
Enjoyed looking at some of the headstones and wondering what their lives must have been like.

Needs a new logbook

TFTC

Managed to find it just before the next lot of rain. Dead easy!

The cloud parted and the sun came out as we arrived her today .
We found the cache and found plenty of blank pages to write our log on (all back sides).
TNLNSL.
Thanks again Stanleys.

Found this cache around this date, but didnt log it online, but now logging itFound using a 1999 marine GPS receiver that is so old it didnt even have a keypad, which made it quite hard to add coords.Found deep inside a green bush in the graveyard and signed the log.

Quick find TNLN TFTC

Visited my great grandpa while we were there

Cache needs new log book

TFTC

As below

1746. My field notes read "QUIET MORNING". Now that's real Einstein stuff for you that is. What did I actually think the residents throw wild parties here? Honestly McPhan sometimes I wonder. Nice area around here as well as I seek the final waypoint for the Great Aussie Icon Hunt multi from Canberra to Adelaide.

TFTC and some interesting tom(b)es.

Rated: for Overall Experience

Co-ords slightly out, but nice easy find in an obvious spot.
TN LN TFTC.

Tried this cache about a year ago when visiting live friends. Realised something was very amiss as couldn't find what should have been easy. Turns out wrong coords plugged in. This time new GPS has down loaded them for us and hommm we were certainly NOT in the middle of the cemetary this time, so found it quickly.

Another quick find in an area we haven't been before. Thanks again stanleys.

Wrote yesterday's date in logbook.
Peaceful spot.
TFTC

Found at 13:45.

We found our 2nd Stanleys cache at 7:55am as the 2nd of 23 on our Southern Adelaide Ramble with Cold Freeze and Bazzars. Once back to the car, a quick divert to this cache and an easy find in a quiet spot. Thanks for the cache from D B-A.

Quick find once the GPSr started cooperating... and the neighbour up the back moved away from the fence... Logbook is fine if you use the other side of the pages

TNLN - Thanks Stanleys!

thanks for the cache.. very interesting having a look at the very familiar names there.
tnln.
oh yes, it needs a new logbook too.

A quick grab, our 3rd for the arvo. Took: Bein Green TB. TFTC Stanleys.

AUGUST 14 BY COWS WITH GUNS

Checked this one out with son in-law Mick, who actually made the find. A peaceful place. Exchanged a robot bug for a red lanyard. Many thanks.

This must be the first dead centre that the GPSr hasn't gone skitzo in

Found with Blackwoodcc

Back in Black!

An easy find. Some of the graves are very interesting, especially the olde ones as thay give a history to the area.
TFTC Stanleys

Found the cache at 2.15pm. Interest about graves.... Left - TBG Silver Australia 2007 Geocoin. Thanks stanleys for organising the cache and hunt

Interesting place. I took Geocoin. thanks

Was about to log and then realised that "firesafe" were there the same day with friends new to geocaching, just as we had! Had to check that they weren't one lot of our friends tricking us! We were just down the road in Coro visiting friends and decided to take them and others geocaching (their first time).

Took doll and mini-torch.
Left stickers and keyring.

Forgot to say that we forgot to write "found by geovegies" in the cache log book... must have a bad memory! And also that the we wrote on the back cover of the log book as there was no more room... so not sure what firesafe did! So a new log book will need to be supplied... or the next person might need to leave a sheet of paper to make do in the meantime.

An Easy find with some friends new to geocaching.

Thanks stanleys for the history lesson and showing us this location. We found the cache quite easily.

Found this cache after a quick, visited a relative while we were here.


No travel bug here despite what the log says!

Took plastic dinosaur
left: mini torch

Nice easy find on a warm day. A blackbird was singing its poetic tune as I filled in the log. Sort of fitted in a way. thanks for the cache.

A sneaky little hide in the boneyard. Recognised a few old coro valley names from last century and the one before. TFTC.

TN LN TFTC
Left Lello Travel Gnome Geocoin, Torchwood made us bring him here as Gnomewood was invisable today.
No TB here as listed, Dr. Klober Tours & friends listed as having taken it, but there is no log or user name we can find for them?

I'm so sorry. I never logged this cache, simply forgot. But worse even, I forgot all about the travelbug. My sincere apologies.

Took a few minutes before I spotted it. Nice and quiet today. Left a TB I grabbed in the Hills yesterday. Thanks.

Nice placement but preety disrespectfull of its location

found and logged with xcalibr

Found with friend ThErMaL..., had to come back to this one because the graveyard had visitors the first time we were there. Took the magnet game and left fire badge.

An interesting place to visit, but we don't plan to stay!

Found by Glenn and Sophie.

We had a bit of a look around after and you get an idea of how hard life must have been by the number of young children buried in the cemetary.

T: Nova stickers
L: Packet of magnets

TFTC

A cemetary with a cache in it well I'd never. Wasn't dissapointed TFTC

13 of 17 found and 1 DNF today
Being a graveyard we just knew there would have to be a cache in there somewhere and we weren't disappointed.
I love a good graveyard cache.

Another cemetry, another cache, the only difference this time was that I took the opportunity to visit a number of relatives resting here, even bumped into a distant cousin visiting her mother.

Found by hoglett Mike who is still very alive. This child has the eye of an eagle I do not think I have any chance of finding one when he is with me [;o)].
TNLN

30th find of the 3rd day at 3:26pm for our Adelaide trip, accompanied by Feathertop.
Another easy find. TNLN, Signed Log, Thanx Stanleys....

Found with Oenze on our 1st day in Adelaide. A quick find our 30th of our day. thanks TNLN

Nice location, easy find. TNLN, thanks stanleys.

Found by Team GeoCoopers.
Located an folder full of old cache photos, nearly 1000 days down the track (Nov09) and I've finally got around to logging the find.
This one was at around 1am on a night cache with Piggy.
Thanks Stanleys

Third find of the night at 1 am, easy one, cheers.

A drive-by just about! There seems to be a theme here... this is now the third cemetery cache I've been to recently with the cache in this kind of 'location'. TFTC

Quick drive by find with Father inlaw in tow.

Hoorah, it took us a while, but reggie and I came up trumps in the dark. Nice spot for it, and although it was obvious where it was it still took us a long time to find. This night-caching stuff is pretty tricky...

Hot day and night. Orienteering in the area.. Always wanted to walk in a cemetary after dark. TFTC

9th find of 20 before 11:30am today. Quick, quiet find. TNLNSL.

Quick find with Josh and Edward.
TNLNSL thanks.

A quick drive-by to get us one off our 800th find. Found by MiniZyth2. TNLN

Easy find, and last for the day.

Found this one without too much drama. A quick find on the way home from work. I'm going away for the weekend and thought the Bikedog Geocoin might like to go travelling. LNSL. Thanks stanleys.

Took Bikedog Geocoin.

First find in this area for us since becoming a local. Hope many more to come. Great area around the cache. Resonably easy find, kind of had to be there.

Took Ellis Island Geocoin
Left Bikedog Geocoin
(well worth reading up about)

Thanks for the cache

Found after a few minutes searching. TNLNSL.

dropped off the ellis island geocoin

found ok and dropped off scaws ellis island geocoin.

found quite easily. TNLNSL Thanks

Our first find! Kid's had a great time, all walking distance from home.

TNLNSL.

Thanks, Cam.

Well I came back, armed with a very strong hint from the Map Man, thanks Alex.
Still took a couple of mins. There was a need to go off the path though.
Glad to put this one to bed...
TNLNSL
Grabbed the Cyberdog TB to move on to a place where it can hitch a ride back to Japan more easily.

Thanks Stanleys

I had a good look around here before starting the cache search. Interesting area with some real old timers in residence. A diligent search in the most likely area quickly revealed the prize. Took black dog, left Cyberdog1 TB to race back to Japan again. Thanks stanleys.

Lived up here for year and never knew of this.

Thanks

Found during a quick dash out at lunch time. TNLN. Cheers!

A quick and easy one in an interesting and historical local site. Thanks to the Stanleys for the cache.

Left dinosaur and took a frog.

EDIT - Wrong Date

Dropped in while going past. found quickly as co-ords were very accurate, Took tape dispenser and left a geocoin. TFTFC

very bright and cold morning, never knew that this place was here. cache is chokas

Found 8:19am Got plenty of sap on my hands by searching in the wrong spot! In the end a great hide. I thought I was dead certain, but there's the quick and the dead. This was one of 35 finds today. thanks

Found 13:48. Drive by pick up, finally found (with great help from some close friends ). I'm sure that I looked there last time! TNLNSL. TFTC.

I looked there and under there and in there and then came back to it and found it there.

Found just after dusk and after ringing the Langy helpdesk thanks to the GPSr leading me on a merry dance. No Compass Rose to be seen?? TNLNSL TFTC Cheers.

Another easy find.
TNLNSL
Thanks Stanleys

When we drove up there was a muggle nearby but she was keeping pretty much to herself. Quick and easy find. Left a TB compass coin!

The hiding spot is quiet obvious when you realise the alternatives (none). TNLNSL. Some sad liitle stories in this location.

Found by Mary & David at 0850. Mary was interested in the graveyard architecture and the symbolism. One of the most interesting was the sandstone gothic column for a family who lost a little boy at only 1year 10 months. A few years later they had another son and gave him the same name only for him to die at the same age. The grave also features silhouettes of the original family. Took gold sticky tape, left bottle opener. Our thanks again to stanleys.

Stopped by again for another 10 min search... alas was to no avail! [B)]

Just noticed Ferretters log..... how deep.... 6' foot[?]

After two no finds we will check that it is still there, in the next couple of days. Hopefully it hasn't been muggled.
Stanleys

DNF 10:45. Only DNF for the day, I too must have had a BOY LOOK like Team Hurtle. Tried to look innocently around with every passing muggle. Will return again.

What an interesting little cemetery. Loved the memorial to the Matthews family and had our curiosity raised by the death of two identically-named infants (John Hurd Matthews) who died at exactly the same age (1 year and 10 mths) but 4 years apart. [?]
The cache was found very easily, as it didn’t blend in AT ALL with its surroundings. Hopefully I hid it a bit better. Took a Kinder surprise toy and left a mechanical bug. Thanks for showing us this Stanleys.

Meandering around cemeteries after dark, waiting for muggles to get out of sight, if fast becoming a favourite past-time for these ferretters, or so it would seem! Having read some previous logs, we made sure this one was well buried (though not dead!) when we left.
TNLNSL

Did Mr Nibs hid it too well, or was I having a boy look? ....
Only one of Stanleys new ones did we not find today!

Found this one on the way to uncle posspets place for dinner at handorf.

After doing sleeping salisbury, i started looking in the wrong spots, before reading the notes and realising where it had to be straight away. Got my sleeve a little bit too wet after the rain received earlier on.

TNLNSL

Rest, we forget.

No one about - easy find. Left some yellow flowers on Billy's grave (adjacent). swapped toys. Thanx Stanleys, clear skies, TeamAstro.

Fascinating local history. Just found the resting place of someone I used to work with.

Took cat, left plastic dog ( the real one wouldnt fit!)

Thanks

This made FTF #2 of three for the day, I can feel a good week coming on!!!
- S/S flask, + space mouse & a spirit level.
Cheers Stanleys, TFTH.
