Location


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.

Tips

  • If using Google Maps you will note the road adjoining Gembrook-Launching Place Road is referred to as Old Beenak Road. In reality, this road is Beenak Road and is the road to the cemetery.
  • Follow Beenak Road without turning onto any other road - Google Maps may suggest turning right into Soldiers Road - DO NOT.
  • If you have any difficulties, please don't hesitate to contact one of our Trustees.
