Description
The 60th Cache by caughtatwork is a moveable cache and can only be found on Geocaching Australia.
Mr. Black (Cemetary) is a 450ml sistema container painted, er, um, black. It is not like its cousins Government Grey and Little Red Hiding Cache as it's not magnetised and it contains a small number of swaps as well as a log book and mini pen.
Your challenge is to locate this cache, collect it, run away, make your log and rehide it in a different cemetary. Please try to rehide the cache in a different cemetary each time it is moved.
Please feel free to log this cache up to 10 times as long as you are having fun finding and rehiding it. Of course, you should wait until someone else has hidden it before you can log it as a find again.
There are some simple guidelines:
- When you grab the cache please rehide it again the same day or at the latest within 24 hours.
- Rehide the cache in another cemetary.
The further away the merrier. - Log your find here as soon as you can so others are not trying to find the cache you just moved.
- When logging your find at geocaching.com.au, please insert the co-ordinates in the coords box.
This allows the software to automatically update the new location.
Enter your co-ordinates in the format Sdd mm.mmm Eddd mm.mmm
You don't have to include the degrees or minutes symbols when entering updated co-ordinates but you should leave a space between the degrees and minutes.
Try a copy and paste of the example co-ordinates into the new co-ordinates box and type over them. - Please keep this cache in Australia but feel free to move it interstate if you feel in the mood.
- Wherever possible, try and keep to the difficulty / terrain rating as originally listed.
Then run away as fast as you can.
Enjoy.

Mr Black is now at the oldest church on the south side of Sydney.
St Peters church was built in 1838 and unfortunately the graveyard is looking its age.
I would recommend approaching northbound off the Princes Hwy and I was able to drive in and park to hide the cache.
The cache is not hidden on or in a grave.

I was iPhone caching as usual which makes the GCA ones a little trickier. Found this one basically sans-gps with only a vague recollection of the google map location and the hint. Will move along shortly.

On the Move - Mr Black has moved again to another overgrown cemetary.
This time he is he is in the Gore Hill cemetary where there a lot of very old graves.
Mr Black is hiding near the first resting place for Sister Mary MacKillop before she was moved to North Sydney where her remains are today. It is sad to see such historic graves get overgrown and neglected but while I was there they had started clearing some of the sites.
The satellite signals can be a bit jumpy where Mr Black is hidden (or is it the local residents playing games with us)?
While here why not try another cache hidden in the same area. GC14HET In Loving Memory by Mr & Mrs Nilbog_Aus

From an overgrown, unloved cemetary to a well looked after one with manicured lawns. This is a lovely spot and is the site of Australias fourth oldest church, St Annes, founded in 1826.
The cache was easy to pick up as given those conditions you didn't have to rummage through the bushes.
I have a plan for it's next hiding place. Watch this space.

Moved to St Annes Ryde, a lovely cemetery attached to the church. This historic cemetery has five first fleet people buried. There are also a number of famous people e.g. Rose Patterson (Andrew Barton Paterson's mum), Emma Oxley (wife of John Oxley - explorer), Maria Smith (aka Granny Smith - of apple fame). GZ is near Eleanor Parkes (2nd wife of Sir Henry Parkes).

Great spot for a hide Hunter/Finder. This is a very old cemetery, the oldest burial I know of here is William Mobbs, one of the original pioneers of Eastwood. He was buried here in 1851. Every now and then the council does a bit of a clean up here but a lot of it is overgrown. TLM Junior came home covered in farmers friends (cobblers pegs). TFTC.

Looked yesterday afternoon and came away with a DNF.
Signs of people walking through the plants and workers have replaced part af a fence near where the cache should be.
Will contact the last placer (Richary) to get exact location so we can confirm if it has been muggled.

I've driven past here all my life and been intrigued by the gravestones not more than 1 metre from busy Pennant Hills Rd! This was the perfect opportunity to stop and look so I could find a suitable resting spot for Mr Black.
If you get a chance, have a look at the little stone building (was it a chapel? or a family mausoleum??), but particularly the couryard beside it. Each paving stone is in memory of someone and looks like a headstone - quite unique I think.
The whole cemtery is in quite good condition for one so old although a lot of the headstones are broken of course. But at least they are neatly laid on their graves and there are no weeds or long grass to make it look uncared for.
Thanks C@W for the practice on what to do with a moving cache as well as the opportunity to check out a couple of old cemeteries!

Nice clue spindoctors "six foot up, not down"! I was planning a day of caching around Vaucluse and saw Mr Black on my map. Great, I reckon I know what to do with these now after a bit of practice! Then I noticed the spindoctirs had grabbed it. Luckily they've been thoughtful enough to drop it off near me and I got to discover a really lovely little cemetery.
This is such a great idea becasue old cemeteries are so interesting

Was doing some maintenance on a cache nearby and saw this on the GPSr. Wasn't sure it would still be around and when I approached GZ, I discovered the area was covered in dead flowers and my torch was playing up. Fortunately, I found it rather quickly and now have it sitting in my office. Now to place it in a cemetary near to home.
BTW - First find for 2010 - a moveable GCA!

Found the location and the hint made sense, but alas, the cache eluded me. I didn't want to poke around too much though as there were a number of uncapped syringes in the area. It wasn't in plain sight from any angle I could see from.
On another note, I've been living a block away from this cemetary for almost 2 years now and although I'd walked around it many times, I hadn't been inside. Thanks for giving me the excuse to have a look around.

Cache is now resting in the very peaceful Camperdown Cemetary.
The cemetery surrounds St Stephen's Anglican Church, which fronts onto Church Street, Newtown. Until the late nineteenth century the cemetery took up the whole block between Church and Australia, Lennox and Federation Streets. Most burials in this cemetery occurred between 1848-1880. There are 18,000 people buried there.
There are some well known graves here from Sydney's history including a monument for the 121 victims of the sinking of the Dunbar in 1857 and the grave of Eliza Donnithorne who is speculated to have been the inspiration for Miss Havisham in Charles Dickens' Great Expectations.

Got it! Was going to Canungra so this was just a short detour Interesting little cemetery, looked like a whole heap of headstones weren't there any more though?! :O
The lipstick and hi bounce balls were perished so they have been ditched, minizactyl snaffled the friendship bracelet and the stickers, and we replaced and restocked with some Bling, stickers, smiley face magnet, ladybug, butterfly hairclip and a cut down pen! I was amused by die in a Cemetery Cache, so they're still in there Also gave Mr Black some fresh black.

Thats a bit better. Surprising things happen when you have 2 GPS's side by side. Both pointing different directions, until they settled down. I was searching in the wrong location yesterday by about 10 metres. Today I narrowed it down, and eventually had it in my hands, for the second time.
Of interest is that this cemetary is where the latest Aussie Digger killed while on active duty, Private Ashley Baker, will be laid to rest with full military honours this coming Monday afternoon. I only found this out this morning, and explains the spruce up it was recieving yesterday from council staff.
Mr Black has taken a short ride, closer to my home. He is now situated at S23 52.046 E151 12.745
Now, everyone knows that cemetaries are the STAIRWAY to heaven, but Mr Black must WHEELIE by dying of THIRST.

Hmmph, I had prior knowledge that Mr Black was making a return to my part of the world, so I was on the lookout for him. It was also going to be my first real test of my new CSx.
Armed with clue, and general area through Google Maps, I headed out to the backblocks this morning.
Unfortunately, Mr Black eluded me, but I wasnt absolutely sure the CSx was leading me in the right direction. It seemed the arrow that must be followed only wanted to point in one direction, with only the distance allowing me to get close. Trouble was, no fence that matched the clue within 10 metres. I did do a search around the general area, trying to apply the clue.
I will head out with the old 60, and see what it comes up with.

This cemetery holds lots of history of the old German settlers of the area. Stay and enjoy the story on some of the grave stones.

As Mrs Nosugref said, we were surpised to find this given our inability to locate the nearby government grey. Happy as Larry we were! Off to find an obscure cemetary close to home.

Out with Dosphoenix trying to grab Government Grey which we couldn't find and were therefore surprised to find this still in its hidey hole given their close proximity.

Mr Black has been placed in a new location but he is not in a cemetery. I don't know if that was part of Mr. Black that he had to be in a cemetery but he is not. I did though remember to put some red dots near him. He is in a park area where there are tables and bbqs and walking and cycling paths. There are also some kids play equipment if you wish to stop for some time. And finally he is about 400 metres from where "On the Move - Government Grey" is at the moment as I collected him yesterday. Happy hunting!!
Sorry about that he is supposed to be in a cemetery so the next cacher can rectify that.

Found "On the Move - Mr Black" at noon today. It was quite an easy find on certainly a hot Summer's day. He will be deposited soon.

Well, a new Mr. Black is ready to go back to Brisbane with the folks after the new year.
He's on a temporary holiday at the moment, so the co-ords are not corrected.

Mr Black appears to have gone missing in a cleanup of the area 
The Mini Mob will be in Melbourne over the Christmas period so I'll make up a new Mr Black and have him released when they return to Brisbane.

Tried in the middle of the night and middle of the day, but no luck in locating 'Mr Black.'
I had some strange looks whilst clambering around the tree trunks looking for hollows.

Placed Mr Black in residence at the old Gladstone Cemetary today, but by the emails and phone calls in the last half an hour or so, I dont think he will be there very long. It seems there is a bit of a race on, by two out of town cachers to find him, and other caches around town.

And so it was, second time lucky for me. I had tried and failed to acquire Mr Black in Maryborough on my way down to BBBBB. Trouble is, no one bothered to tell me that he had been abducted a couple of days before.
So, fortunately for me, he moved my way. It was only a 150km trip to get him, well within reach, so I headed down this afternoon. Grabbed him fairly easily around 4pm, and brought him a bit further north. No swaps or replacing done yet. That will happen tomorrow, and I will post new co ordinates for him. Bororen cemetary was interesting to wander around in. Its a well used cemetary, kept in very good condition by the local council.
Thanks for the opportunity to grab this one.
Cheers

Once again Mr Black is back in the cemetery where he belongs. This time he is resting under the shade of a tree, pondering his future.

Moved on to a more central cemetry. There is a few other caches nearby. Good Luck. Guess what? I just realised I forgot to sign the log. Would the next finder please log my find or leave that page blank and I will catch up with Mr Black at a later date. Thanks,from the dill.

Found it after rolling it over and having 5 out of 20 itchy grub land in my hand. Luckily none got me- they itch. Great spot to have a wander and reflect. I have moved it onto a more central CBD cemetry. Good Luck.

Yeah! THENANKS were the FTF Mr Black(Cemetery). Mumma NANKS and the geoboys took off after work/school to see if we could grab him. There he was just sitting almost right beside one of our caches! Good choice of resting place, Mr Black! He'll spend the night at our house and we've just the spot for him tomorrow afternoon.
Thanks C@W We like moveables!
