Cache Details
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.
Of course the best fun about one of these caches is that you don't have to worry about being spotted retrieving the cache. Feel free to be as obvious as you need to be in order to claim it.
Then run away as fast as you can.
Enjoy.

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.

Woot! Snaffled on the way to visit zactyl. Nice view from the lookout, lots of remote-controlled glider action nearby.
Sorry Queenslanders, this will be heading south! :)

Hidden next to a very small memorial garden, and there is a grave nearby, read my log to find out where. Come on a weekend and battle for a parking space with the hangliders and parasailers! Be sure to check for other local GCA caches ;) |

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.

After a 6 month long hiatus in Gladstone, Mr Black is finally on the move again, further north, as far as I am aware. More information follows from those who now possess him.

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.
Cheers
Bundy

S26° 38.901' E153° 1.451'
Dropped in a nice quiet spot with some history. A real mix of old and new graves. There is another cache nearby in the little park so you can get 2 for 1. Bring some mozzie repellant for the other cache. Topped up the cache with various swap goodies.
GPSr wasn't that accurate on the drop day so find the frog and follow it's nose for about 5 metres. |

Picked up the cache from its very prickly hiding spot. Will place it again soon. Nice idea for a cache. I was actually considering a permanent cache where it was last hidden. I'll have to get around to it now. TFTC

Mr Black you've been relocated to another dry spot off the ground. Hope you are not too scared at night with your new neighbours. Shouldn't be a hard find although it could be prickly. |

It was a sombre Australia Day as Mr Black's procession slowly moved to the south of the Brisbane River today. Eventually the assembled mourners laid Mr Black's sarcophagus to rest in a shady plot. With the tributes read and celestial coordination ceremonies complete, it was time to run away, RUN AWAY :O |

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

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!
