In 1924, the City of Brisbane Act was passed by the Queensland
Parliament, amalgamating the Cities of
Brisbane and
South Brisbane; the Towns of Hamilton, Ithaca, Sandgate,
Toowong,
Windsor and Wynnum; and the Shires of Balmoral,
Belmont, Coorparoo,
Enoggera, Kedron, Moggill, Sherwood, Stephens, Taringa,
Tingalpa, Toombul and Yeerongpilly to form the current City of
Greater Brisbane, now known simply as Brisbane City, in 1925. This
series of caches will celebrate these former local goverments and
their amalgamation.
Ithaca Town Council (from
here)
The Division of Ithaca was proclaimed in 1879, and was
named after the birthplace of Lady Roma Diamantina Bowen, wife of
Queensland's first Governor, George Bowen. Ithaca was one of eight
divisions within the Municipality of Brisbane, and comprised most
of the western suburbs of Brisbane from Kelvin Grove Road to Mt
Coot-tha and the head of Kelvin Grove Brook. An area just before
the junction of Waterworks Road and Kelvin Grove Road formed the
southeastern extremity of the Division. The Division of Ithaca was
proclaimed a Shire in 1887, and eventually a Town on 19 August
1903.
This cache is hidden in a rock wall at the Ithaca War Memorial.
It may not be easy to find, as there may be few rock walls in your
search area. Have fun 
, and people with large hands may need a
stick or similar tool.
The cache also contains one of the four clues you will need to
find the final cache in this series, which will be listed when
enough of the series have been placed.

Ithaca War Memorial
The Ithaca War Memorial and Park was created c.1922 by
a committee on behalf of Ithaca citizens. The monument was designed
and executed by Brisbane monumental masonry firm A H Thurlow, under
the supervision of R Black, the Ithaca town engineer. The stone
memorial honours the 130 local men who died on active service
during the First World War. The park was laid out by Ithaca Town
Council landscape gardener, Alexander Jolly.
Finally, for those interested, the old
Ithaca Town Council chambers are just up the road at S 27°
27.363 E 153° 00.108. Have a little stroll along Enogerra Tce and
check out the views on the way.
