Jed River Cemetary.Gore Bay. 2013.

Another little adventure while staying at Gore Bay.

What was supposed to be a leisurely walk, turned into more of a

sheep path scramble.

 

The walk along the beach was very scrunchy with the shingle bank being quite high.

There was a storm in the area a couple of weeks back

and so the shingle was high , a scattering of logs

and the river had been blocked.

So at least we didn't have to wade thru any water.

 

looking back towards the settlement.

 

Found the sign

 

Then we headed off along the estuary

which had become very overgrown.

 

Then it was a scramble up the sheep track to the top.

 

Ta da. Made it :) 

 

 

 

Only a few graves marked.

Disappearing

 

Took close-ups of all the graves, as genealogists may find it useful



Has been a long time since the track was cleared.

 

Its an interesting walk,

but Im afraid that Mother nature is reclaiming

what remains, quite quickly.
