This cache is located in Randfontein, a gold mining town 45 km west of Johannesburg. With the Witwatersrand gold rush in full swing, mining financier JB Robinson bought the farm Randfontein and, in 1889, floated the Randfontein Estates Gold Mining Company. The town was established in 1890 to serve the new mine and was administered by Krugersdorp until it became a municipality in 1929.
Randfontein Estates had the largest stamp mill in the world, with 600 stamps (see on of our other caches GC1HCXF "the stamper").
A pretty sheet of water, Riebeeck Lake, is among the attractions of the town.
Today Randfontein has a population of 181,940, which incorporates Mohlakeng and Toekomsrus.
