Geocache Description:

WARNING - This is a cemetery cache.

The main gate has a chain and padlock - it may be locked at night.


Please respect the residents and their families by not crossing the resting places.
There is no need to search around grave sites.

Enter by the main gate on foot, note the map of the residents. Many early names are here ~~
Dillicar (to the right of the gate)
Knox
Edgecumbe
.......... the list goes on

You will need to follow the main path, and make a right turn at a junction.

Sit a while and contemplate the history in this area, the cache will be within your reach.  Please ensure it is firmly hooked again when you depart.

If you are as lucky as I was, two brightly coloured rather fat, parakeets will keep you company.

NOTE: After updates to the landscaping, this hide was changed to a micro and had a very small waypoint change in September 2023




Logging Etiquette: Geocache hiders sometimes go through a great deal of planning to place their caches. As a result, they'd like to hear your feedback on whether you liked or disliked any aspect of the hide, or if you feel that some cache maintenance is required.
Single word, acronym, or emoticon logs may be easier when you have a lot of caches to log, but it doesn't tell the hider or other finders anything about your adventure (or lack thereof) in finding the cache. Please keep this in mind when entering your log.
Remember - the log that says "TFTC" or "easy find" or "Nice hide" - hiders have already read that log hundreds of times already. We hope that your log will be different and worth opening the email to read!
