Geocache Description:

Last Known Address Mount Barker

Should be an easy find in the Dead Centre of Mount Barker.

Due to the temporary nature of pens and pencils in my geocaches
BRING YOUR OWN WRITING IMPLEMENT!!!

I enjoyed hunting down a couple of richlink's "Last Known Address" series of caches, and having spotted a large number of cemeteries in my travels I asked richlink if I could add to the "Last Known Address" series of caches. I received a reply in the affirmative on 5 May 2009, but I couldn't find my Round Tuit, so it took me a while to place any. (See my GC1RB3G WanAus 95 - Round Tuit if you don't know what that means.)

I was meandering through the countryside on the way home from GC2KA92 WA Caching 10th Birthday Bash - Albany 2011 by tangowithcupcake and came across the Mount Barker Cemetery. I was surprised to find it didn't have a cache, so I decided to rectify that situation.

The cache is not at the above co-ords but it is where you will find some of the information to locate GZ.

At the posted coords you are looking for the headstone of Sapper F.W. Harris. A = the second DIGIT of his Regimental Number.

Waypoint 2 is at S34°38.627' E117°40.247' where you will find the headstone of Sergeant G.L. Goddard. B = the fourth DIGIT of his Regimental Number.

Waypoint 3 is at S34°38.677' E117°40.276' where you will find the headstone of Gunner W.W. Callaghan. C = the second DIGIT of his Regimental Number.

Waypoint 4 is at S34°38.621' E117°40.258' where you will find the headstone of Lieutenant Albert C. Townsend. D = the first DIGIT of his Regimental Number.

Waypoint 5 is at S34°38.618' E117°40.262' where you will find the headstone of Private L.M. Wooding. E = the third DIGIT of his Regimental Number.

Waypoint 6 is at S34°38.644' E117°40.266' where you will find the headstone of Private John Hart Duncan. F = the first DIGIT of his Regimental Number.

The cache can be found at S34°38.ABC' E117°40.DEF'. I recommend you make your way east towards the railway line then turn north to approach the cache. This will avoid the worst bush-bashing.

I've tried to keep to the simple style of Richlink's caches, so they are all micro containers, although some are bigger than others.

This cache is a drab camo'd 12 cm dia x 11 cm high round screw top with a selection of swaps, log book, Finders Cards, a pen, 3 pencils and a pencil sharpener.
