In this paper the southern cometary nebula GRV10 and its environment are investigated. The object is connected with a molecular cloud (its dimensions are ~4 pc). 12CO (1-0) observations toward GRV10 revealed the presence of two molecular outflows (a bipolar outflow), a red and a blue-shifted outflow, which coincide in position, indicating that they are moving along the line of sight in opposite directions. Near GRV10 a bright IR star, GRV10 IR, is discovered (near the southern edge of the nebula) and since its spectra and near IR colors favor it to be a Mira type star, a distance of ~4.4 kpc can be estimated. Star GRV10 IR appears connected with the IRAS point source IRAS 10406-6256. The grouping of stars (YSOs - young stellar objects) connected with GRV10 and embedded in a dark nebulosity is also discussed. This grouping is associated with the IRAS point source IRAS 10406-6253, which has FIR colors typical for embedded, not evolved, YSOs.
