Albany Action

When we arrived in Albany Vicki had some work for us to do relating to our family tree. She wanted us to find, if we could, our Great Grandmothers grave and Yah! We did!

We went to the library and one of the librarians showed us exactly where it was. Easy! Hmmm when we got there it all looked different...didn't know which section was which. While we were walking around we came across a couple who had a map in their hands, great! They were very eager to help us find her grave and within a couple of minutes we found it. 

 The inscription reads:

In Memory of

Charlotte Ann

Loved wife of 

Neil Johnson

Died Oct 13 1940

Aged 64 years

RIP

We decided to make a visit to the new cemetery and another woman was very helpful and gave us a map of the old cemetery. It looks like there could be more relatives resting there but will have to wait till our next trip south.

We also found one of the places where Charlotte and Neil lived and worked. 

We are pretty sure it was the left hand side of this building where they had the business called The Post Office Tearooms. As you can see it is now backpackers accommodation.

After this bit of researching we were back to geocaching and made our way up to Denmark to do some more of THE MOST AWESOME caches by roymerc.

This is one of them...took us a little while to work it out but it was so good we had to do it twice.

 We drove home in a few days making sure we did lots of caches.

A short and sweet post!
