Geocache Description:

A puzzle cache in Mona vale Cemetery


Recently I decided to research my family tree. With both my parents gone, I no longer have that link to my ancestors. While dong this, discovered my Grandfather and my Great Grandfather are buried in Mona Vale Cemetery.Having never met them, I decided to go and pay them a visit.

They both hold the key to discovering my Family Tree.

They cache is not at the listed coordinates. At the cordinates, you'll discover the final resting place of my Grandfather, Merv.

To find the final cache, visit Merv, take the full year of his death and add it to S33 38.573.

Then find my Great Grandfather, take the full year of his death and subtract it from E151 19.295

Remember, when doing the math, remove letters and decimal points.

When trying to find my Great Grandfather, you could just look at every single headstone or, the easier way is to use the deceased search tool on the Mona Vale Cemetery website.

I understand that a lot of people have been having issues with the deceased search tool- I'm so sorry. You can download the iCemetery app to help you. If you can't download the app, I have posted a Googleap picture of where WP2 is below.

I'd love to hear stories of your own family tree in the logs, but please no spoilers.

The Cemetery contains over 6,000 grave sites and over 2000 memorial niches for cremated remains, including memorial gardens, family rock memorials and columbarium walls. The Cemetery contains over 6,000 grave sites and over 2000 memorial niches for cremated remains, including memorial gardens, family rock memorials and columbarium walls.
