Mitcham Memories Multi-Cache
Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions
in our disclaimer.
A simple cache that will take you to some historical Mitcham Village Sites. An easy wheelchair friendly walk of about 1km. Take your time as there are a number of original buildings and interpretive signs along the way that are most interesting reading.
There are 5 Points Of Interest(POI) where you will need to collect some information that will give you the co-ords for the next point of interest.
The difficulty rating is due to high muggle activity at GZ, especially on week ends, so 3 clues are included at POI 1,4 and 5 to make finding the cache a little easier. Cache is a small plastic container painted black. In keeping with the theme of this cache I have included a few "Memories". If possible can you please try to keep the theme of this cache with any swaps. Please make sure you replace the cache so it is well hidden from muggles.
