Also, we would like to know if it was in the cemetery proper, or in one of the adjacent woodlands where we are doing a lot of work. I assume it is in the more 'open' cemetery vegetation however.

I pronably saw 20 or 30, but I think there might have been closer to 100, they were very common in the patch of kangaroo grass in the front part of the cemetery.
