Geocache Description:

THE CACHE IS NOT BEHIND ANY ROCKS OR SIGNS. THERE IN NO NEED TO MOVE OR REMOVE ANYTHING.

This is a small reserve takes its name from one time convict William Buckley and was  the site of the St Georges Burial Ground.
There isn't any parking on Sandy Bay Rd so it is best to park in Ablura Street and walk down

St Georges Burial Ground was used from 1846 until 1872. During this time over 1000 people were buried here.

During the mid-20th century the cemetery was levelled and Albuera St Primary School was built on the site. In recent years building works at the school unearthed skeletal remains, monuments and headstones.

These headstones now form part of a new gabion wall.

The cache is a micro so you will need to bring a pen to sign the log.
