This cache is located on Bruny Island.
Bruny Island comprises a North and South Island which are separated by a narrow isthmus called "The Neck".
Access to the island is by vehicular ferry departing from Kettering (fees apply).
The trip takes approximately 20 minutes and arrives at Roberts Point on North Bruny Island.
North Bruny is drier than the south and is mainly open pastures and light bushland. It is home to the townships of Dennes Point, Great Bay and Barnes Bay. The Bruny Island Quarantine Station is located on Killora Road and is worth a visit but is only open on certain days.
The narrow isthmus joining the two parts of the island is called "The Neck".
A timber stepped boardwalk will take you to the Truganini Lookout, that will give you to some of the most spectacular 360° panoramic views of the Bruny Island coastline (currently closed).
South Bruny is hilly, heavily timbered and includes large rainforest areas. It is home to large areas of State Forest Reserve and the South Bruny National Park where the Cape Bruny Lighthouse is situated (fees apply to enter the National Park and guided tours of the lighthouse are available on certain days, fees apply). The townships of Adventure Bay, Alonnah and Lunawanna are also located on South Bruny.
While caching recently on both North and South Bruny we discovered this graveyard on North Bruny and thought it was worthy of a cache.
There is no need to enter the enclosed graveyard area as cache can be accessed from outside the fence. There is a pull off area to park safely.
To access this cache and others on North Bruny you must travel on gravel roads. Travelling to caches and attractions on South Bruny may also require you to travel on gravel roads.
