This is my first multi- cache and no better place to start than a cemetery
The graveyards of a district contain a silent history of its past that give the historian much information.
Upper Picton Cemetery also known as Picton General Cemetery has such a history.
About the year 1828 grants of land were made in the district, a site for a township called on the old plan “ Redbank”, from the reddish colour of the soil in the cuttings. A small portion of that site was set aside by Major H C Antill for a cemetery in 1847. That land was a portion of the present Upper Picton Cemetery. From 1847 through to the years around 1930 various denominations purchased the land for internments.
