A short tour of graves and memorials significant to the Eureka rebellion in the old Ballaarat Cemetery.
The Eureka Memorials are of social significance as a record of both diggers and soldiers who died as a result of the Eureka uprising. They provide the community with a commemorative focus of this significant national event.
Enter the grand old iron gates start the cartridge and follow the main road around to the first location.

Played after meeting the owner at an event.
Interesting tour of the graveyard, I recognised some of the names on the graves I was taken to.
The WhereYouGo player crashed once, but I think that it's a problem on my end, not with the cartridge.
Thanks for the cartridge!

I do like the addition of a completion code to a Wherigo. A cartridge never seems quite complete without one and the CO of these 3 cartridges has thoughtfully provided one for each. I love the gold rush era of Australian history so this cartridge is a favourite of mine.

I enjoyed completing this wherigo. It was great to read the information and discover each site. I might have got a bit sidetracked here and there as I stopped to read other gravestones and information. At GZ, after a short hunt I had the cache in hand and enjoyed the evening's endeavours. :)

enjoyed doing this wherigo and learning more about the Eureka Rebellion and some of the people it involved. I made my way from location to location, read the info provided and then headed to GZ where I discovered the clever hide. Thanks wozzle68 for setting up this wherigo.

After our introduction to wherigo caches yesterday (thanks Rob & Libby) MarknDee and Harrowang were keen to try one by ourselves. We chose this historical one in the old cemetery having loaded our iphones and GPSrs with the required info. The weather was not quite as kind as yesterday, so snow coats and woolly hats were donned before setting out on our walk. We pressed our start buttons and off we headed with the cold wind instantly freezing noses and fingers. A great read at each POI and we even managed to visit the graves of De's grandparents and great grandparents as part of our journey to and from GZ. Mr Harrowang managed to extract the container with his frozen fingers and we SL at 2.57pm feeling very pleased with ourselves. TFTC wozzle68 and with our expertise growing using this medium we feel confident to tackle the wherigo's nearer to our home GZ. #2992
