SA_ParrotHead: Since the clues unlocked the cache container and the container has now been destroyed there is little point in replacing this cache.
I will go out and retrieve the damaged container

Geocache Description:

Historic Location


       Hey! What's all the noise.


                           Looking South with the graveyard on the right.



This is a simple multi that requires you to gather some information in order to access the cache.

The listed co-ordinates will take you to the cache but you might have a bit of a problem logging your find without first collecting the clues.

Near the cache is a small graveyard who's residents must be wondering what all the noise is now that the Northern Freeway passes by.

You will need to access the graveyard via the dirt road or the new bicycle track as there is no access from the Freeway.

At the graveyard you will need to find two gravestones.

The first belongs to Anthony Taylor. Find out how old he was when he passed away. Next find out what year in the century it was when his wife Eleanor passed away. (ie 1874 would be 74)
Now that you have these two pieces of information subtract the year from the age to get your first clue. So if he was 78 years old and she passed away in 1912 then the sum is 78-12 which equals 66 and this figure becomes your first clue.

The second gravestone belongs to Mary Smitham and this time you are looking for the day in May that she passed away. This two digit number is your second clue.

Now you have all the information you require to go look for the cache and work out how to log an entry.


I hope you enjoy this little piece of history

Zoar Bible Christian Cemetery

             


The Chapel associated with this graveyard was opened in 1855, but only the foundations remain today. The chapel was demolished in 1956.

             

"The next port of call was the site of the Zoar Bible Christian chapel. Again, all that remains of this once thriving congregation is a cemetery. Here we are reminded of the particularly zealous ministry of Samuel Keen, after his arrival on the Gawler Plains in 1853. He diligently sought out the settlers, organised them into groups for worship and urged them to build a chapel as soon as possible. The result was, in Derek Whitelock’s phrase, the countryside "speckled with little chapels". Keen had a penchant for giving the chapels under his ministry biblical names. In Isaiah 15:5 Zoar is named as "a place of refuge". In his 1857 report to the Bible Christian Missionary Society in England, Samuel Keen wrote of those converted at Zoar during the past year as "twenty who escaped thither for their life"."
