This cache lead us through the historic Cooktown Cemetery and a fantastic journey it was. There is so much history and the graves an monuments speak to the dreams and aspirations of people from so many different cultural backgrounds.

If you travel to Cooktown give your self a good few hours to walk through the cemetery and I promise you that you will be thankful.

The cache was hidden well and contained a good collection of SWAG. I sat by this grave and filled in the log. I took a small keyring and left a Geocoin " Todie's Wild Ride Rocking Roddy's Cachestalkers Geocoin", I had retrieved this one from Thursday Island.

I did take a few moments to sit and contemplate the epitaph. I found it very moving.
