Geocache Description:


The story of the Lone Pine is well-known. After the capture of the Lone Pine ridge in Gallipoli (August 6, 1915), an Australian soldier who had taken part in the attack, in which his brother was killed, found a cone of an aleppo pine (Pinus halepensis) on one of the branches used by the Turks as overhead cover for their trenches, and sent it to his mother.

From seed shed by it she raised two trees, one of which she sent to the War Memorial to be planted in honour of her own and others’ sons who fell at Lone Pine.

Naracoorte’s own descendent of the Lone Pine is right by where you will most likely park to find this cache.

The cache is very close to the Lone Pine and is inside the cemetery but nowhere near any graves. As usual with cemetery caches please be considerate.
