Geocache Description:


The cache is not located at the listed co-ordinates.

We have enjoyed doing 'richlinks' Last Known Address and the LKA series so I thought I would add the cemetery's in our surrounding shires. These are done with their permission.

In 1910 the Yealering community questioned the appropriateness of the cemetery in Wickepin, and applied for 40 acres of land from the Lands Department for a Yealering cemetery.
They granted 5 acres of ground too hard to dig, and the community began to lobby for another site.
The new site allocated for the Yealering Cemetery was on a sandplain block in another corner of the townsite.
In 1932 responsibility for the old cemetery was handed to the Wickepin Roads Board, followed by the new Yealering cemetery in April 1942.
Heritage Council Place Number 06884.

To locate the coordinates of the cache you have a simple set of calculations to do.
