Geocache Description:

Solve the Sudoku to find the cache.

This cache is located just outside of Clareville Cemetery between Masterton and Carterton. There is no need to enter graveyard to find the cache.

For those interested in wandering around graveyards to see who is interred there, this graveyard has a number of POIs (Persons Of Interest), including ...

  • Ellen Dougherty: the 1st registered nurse in the world; New Zealand was the first country to require the registration of nurses, and Ellen Dougherty was the first to register. She was born in 1844, became a registered nurse in 1902, and died in 1919. Her grave was restored as part of the centenary of Nursing and rededicated on the centenary of her nursing registration.
  • Charles Rooking Carter: Builder, businessman, politician, writer, philanthropist (1822-1896), after whom the town of Carterton is named. He was involved in the purchase of land in the Wairarapa during the 1850s. His philanthropy includes Carter Scenic Reserve near Carterton and Carter Observatory in Wellington.
