Description

In Memory of...

In Memory of...

 

Fairly large cache, usually found in cemeteries, but can turn up anywhere.  Keep your eyes open!

This one should glow in the dark, with a bit of luck.

Good sized container attached that should fit reasonable swaps, if anyone is interested.

This cache looks like it's MIA so we'll archive it to stop it turning up in lists and queries. If it resurfaces then the owner can resurrect it by placing an "Unarchived" log against it.

Finally found a great spot in a quiet cemetery just outside of Singleton. It is a little detour off the highway, but worth the trip. There is a GC cache nearby and one of Australia's biggest solar farms as well as the historic cemetery.

Wow that is a LOT of caches my BB brought home! I would have gone too but some of us had to go to work. Now my house is full of Gnomes, frogs, Bingos and Angels! I’m going to have to do something about this and start hiding them again before they take over our unit once and for all! Very Happy

Operation: Dawn of War (Clan Phoenix Clan Phoenix Gnomeland Raid)

Cache Condition:
Probably my favourite cache of the day! Full of top swaps and very clever build. Lucky I live near a big cemetery so I will be able to hide it again!

Operation Summary: Leaving Sydney at 4am to reach The Gnomelands by dawn I kicked off the 'The Great Mount Piddington Moveable Challenge' with a raid of freedom to release over 60 moveables from their mountain prison to freedom. 4.5 hours of morning caching saw a good few sack-fulls return with me to Sydney.

The caches have been moved to St Leonards for some TLC and a bath so don’t go looking for them there. They will be released shortly in various locations.

While I did not intend to pick this one up due to size constraints, I had no choice but to do so!
I was on my way to check on my ZZ Lookout cache and thought on my way back I would just log this one as found and leave it where it was. However as I got nearer GZ I saw several council trucks and workers busy cleaning the road side and just as I arrived on the scene it was found and almost ended in the trash.
After some explanations about Geocaching the cache was handed to me amidst some laughter and good humored ribbing, they originally thought I was some sort of inspector sent to spy on them due to my invisibility cloak (much needed when walking on a busy highway!).
I was even provided with a black garbage bag (new) to carry the tombstone back home, much to my relief as I still had a 45 minute walk along the highway and through the center of town to get home!
Now what to do with this monstrosity...

I drove past today and saw it was still there. I thought it was close to rogerw3's place which is why I left it. I didn't see his not until now. I will be back in a week so might pick it up and take towards Canberra and its home.

Sorry this one is too big and cumbersome (if light) for me to carry along the highway so I guess it will have to stay where it is!

Was going to take this back to Yass but didn't arrange a pick up so it did a trip to Young and then back to Lithgow where it's not far from a certain cacher. Behind the tree with the marker post in front of it.

Somehow missed logging this one out of Dural the other night when I dropped all the others - you wonder how given the size!
This one might be on its way back home next week.

I hope the glow doesn't attract too much attention out here.

Man this thing glows in the dark!! Great cache.

Dropped at a suitable facility. It's not there for long though so don't bother looking.

What a beauty. A demonic angel that's prepared for the afterlife - yours! Grabbed it from Waitara.

This one was too big to fit at the Normanhurst hiding spot, so I've hidden it at the Waitara drop zone instead.

A variation on an angel I hadn't seen before, and quite well done. Wasn't looking for something quite so big until I spotted it hiding there. Unluckily all the others in Rookwood haven't had 2 moves since I put them there, but as this was a new one I swung past after a morning job down the road to grab it on the way back to the office.

This very creative angle is in a likely location.

Wow this is great. Thrust into my hands at the Hills event. And I had to walk through the mall with this under my arm.It also sat on the table as I had some lunch much to the amusement of other shoppers. I know the perfect spot. Some great swaps inside.

This Angel has found a nice resting place in the Leura Memorial Gardens.

What do you know another Angel has just stopped by after a long and arduous journey. Best not to keep this one waiting too long, a quick move is in order.

Found at Mountain High Pies in Wentworth Falls!

Lots of muggles couldn't help but notice!

The angels (and associated moveables) made their way via Young and Bathurst to Wentworth Falls where they were handed over to the local Blue Mountains authorities in exchange for three rather devious angels which hitched a lift to Sydney. This one attracted just a little bit of muggle attention at the exchange!
 
09-Dec-13
Crikey! Now this angel is different. Looks like the one that sent Amy and Rory back in time.
Picked up at the Yass Service Centre, will head to the Blue Mountains or Sydney.

Thanks for the cache.

Found in order to hide near Yass.

GCA 881 - 8331. Found along with a bunch of Weeping Angels - makes sense I suppose !!.

Smile

TFTC !!

With not as many angels about this year I was happy to get to see this and three others before they moved out of town. Thanks

808. Had the pleasure of seeing and logging this one as it visited my workplace this afternoon. Very civilised way to do it.

TFTM and the slab.

Found whilst catching up with SDL this evening. Full marks for creativity and construction on this one, and there's something weirdly nice but wrong about the smell of PVC cement! SDL has plans to move this one tomorrow. Thanks JAC.

If anyone is interested!!! They certainly should be when they see it....

My first thought when I spied it was..."What the hell am I going to do with that".

A very very neat moveable. Love your work. So many things inside as well. A great selection of quality swaps. I have my eye on something in there, and will decided if I should swap something before re-locating it. And of course that is the problem...where do you re-locate something like this.

A great first angel to find, and so glad to grab the *FTF* on it. Seeing it in mint condition is the way to go. No fave's available on GCA, but it certainly gets the 5 thumbs up.....

Thanks guys....nice one.

So thinking cap on....where to now for it??????
