Targinnie

 Pos S 23°48.244 
   E 151°06.812

Targinnie is tucked away in a fold of the hills, huddled against the eastern side of Mt. Larcom, near Gladstone. The easiest way to get to it is to turn northwards off the Mt. Larcom - Gladstone highway where the Yarwun crossroads are. The narrow road winds through a hidden valley system and suddenly the cemetery is there, on your left. It is well kept, and some person or persons are slowly placing names on otherwise unidentified stones. This is a peaceful place.
