Beenak Cemetery is situated on Beenak Road in Beenak. If you are a local, this is probably enough direction. However, if you are a 'non-local' from further afield, we as Trustees understand that locating the cemetery might not be such an easy task. Consequently we have attempted to provide as in-depth directions as possible. A Vic Roads directory or GPS device will get you to the main towns of either Gembrook or Woori Yallock, but will be of little to no assistance after that. |
Directions
From Gembrook:
- Follow the Gembrook-Launching Place Road from Gembrook for a distance of approximately 11km. This road will take you through Kurth Kiln Regional Park and Gilwell Park Scout Camp. PLEASE NOTE: some of the corners are quite sharp, and there is known to be wildlife (primarily in the form of wombats and wallabies) in this area.
- You will come to a road on your right hand side which is sign-posted Beenak Road. The road is also sign-posted with a blue Cemetery sign and there is a boulder in close proximity to the signs (see above).
- Beenak Road is a dirt road and varies in its presentation dependent upon the time of the year and weather conditions. However, it is well graded and maintained.
