Haunted Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

Ngaambul: As there's been either no response from the cache owner, no cache to find or log to sign, or it's been a number of months since the last owner note. I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace/make available the cache sometime in the near future (next 30 days), just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the current guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.

Geocache Description:


On the Haunted Hills Road heading out of town is the Yallourn Cemetery.

Now, another unconfirmed story about the area from my dad... :-) Haunted Hills Road got its name not by ghosts being seen, or the fact that the cemetery is on the road. The story goes that when cows were moved between paddocks using the road, the cows used to get pretty spooked. Apparently the coal deposits in the area give the road a different sound that the cows don't like while walking on it, and the road ended up with a rather cool name from scared cows.

As I said, I haven't checked this story to be fact as this kind of information isn't around on the internet, but as dad has lived here nearly his whole life, I'll give him some credit. But if you live in the area and happen to know otherwise, give me a yell.

Now, about the cache. It's a micro, and there's no need to go into the actual cemetery itself, so this can be done at all hours. If you do it during the night, watch out for people in the nearby house, as I'm sure it's their job to watch out for people sneaking around up to no good. And as the area is a cemetary, please keep that in mind and respect it for what it is.

If there's any issues while I'm not in town, the 'geocoads' will be conducting any maintenance. But I may be back to visit it in a week or so, as the paint on the cache didn't match, so it might get a new coat soon.
