Geocache Description:

A multi cache in the Norsewood Cemetery. You will have to identify the gravestones from the pictures below, then find the simple answers to get the final co-ordinates. The published co-ordinates are for the entrance to the cemetery.

Norsewood Cemetery is thought to be the largest Scandinavian cemetery in Australasia. The graves of many of the Scandinavian immigrants, predominantly Norwegians, who were brought to the Norsewood district under the 1870s “assisted immigation” programme, can be found in the Norsewood Cemetery.

Many of the graves here are in a serious state of decay with the inscriptions on the headstones almost illegible. Other graves are now completely unmarked, and many graves on the cemetery plan are simply marked unknown.



Cache can be found at:

S 40° 04.ABC E 176° 12.DEF

A = 2nd digit of the year June died
B = Last digit of the year Maxwell died
C = 1st digit of the age of F.H. when he died
D = 1st digit of the age of Hans when he died
E = 1st digit of the day Peter died
F = Last digit of the year Enis died

Checksum (ie A+B+C+D+E+F) = 22, or you can check your answers for this puzzle on Geochecker.com.

Cache is a 200ml sistema in a camo bag, please replace as found and bring your own pen.
