Geocache Description:

An easy cache in memory of a great Australian!

The location of the cache is near St John the Baptist School, Plympton– a school founded by the Sisters of St Joseph. The school celebrated its sixty fifth year in 2000.

Mary MacKillop was born in Melbourne in 1842. When she was in Penola she met Julian Tenison Woods and together they opened the first St Joseph's School in 1866.
Mary MacKillop founded the Sisters of St Joseph, who have established schools all over Australia and New Zealand as well as other institutions to help the poor.

Mary MacKilop's famous saying was "Never see a need without doing something about it"
Well..... there was a need, a geochache in her honour, and something has been done about it!
This is one of many caches placed in significant locations of her story.

Mary died on August 8th, 1909.

She was declared Australia’s first Saint in 2012.

Please cover up when replaced after find.
