Geocache Description:

The coordinates will take you to the old semaphore signal station. This connects to other working stations - used to be six - all the way to the sea. Look up signal 138 to see why it is connected to Red Letter Day #1 http://geocaching.com.au/cache/ga0449 (The map in Red Letter Day#1 is no longer valid due to weeds.)

Really lovely view and a dog friendly area. This is Windmill Hill - behind the posh new swimming pool in a genteel old part of town. (There are caches at 2 more semaphore sites - GCKF19 Directional Scenes#1 and "By George!")
Historic walk of about 1km from red Letter #1 to GZ if you turn towards the river first, walk along the Esplanade turn at Tamar St and come up past the monkeys in the park at GCNGV6. Really nice cafe there too. On foot there are many ways to come here using old stairways past the lovely gardens and houses. There are gates in all corners and the mid sections of the park fence so you can walk through the park rather than around it.

The difficulty relates to
1.Beware bowler muggles!
2. The lawn is a shambles as the council is concentrating on the pool -nettles all around the first cache site.

There is ample parkin. Toilets and food at swimming pool and a functioning drinking fountain is at the northern foot of park, bottom of the hill.
Follow the very old elm row on the top of the hill on west side to go to yet another park, playground, corner shops and cafes.
