The Fort's watch tower located at the edge of the entrance of Singapore's Keppel Harbour. The tower provided a commanding view of approaching ships entering into the harbourFort Pasir Panjang or Labrador Battery is located within the lush Labrador Park at the southern tip of Singapore island. It was one of the 11 coastal artillery forts built by the British in the 19th century to defend the western passageway into Keppel Harbour against piracy and foreign naval powers. During the 1942 Battle of Pasir Panjang, the fort played a supporting role but a limited one in defending the Malay Regiments against the Japanese invasion at Bukit Chandu. In 1995, the site was gazetted by the National Heritage Board as one of the 11 World War II sites in Singapore.
This fort is located in Labrador Park. We went there to find "The hidden beauty spot" and were amazed by all the information about the fort and the remaining parts of it.
You can access this park via bus 408 or by car. If you walk through the gate to the fort, you can follow an easy path to the cache. You will find the mentioned information and remaining cannon fortfikitations, tunnels and more.
We wanted to place the cache in the tunnel, but it was unfortunately locked. Instead it is placed inside something else in the area of the lookout platform and a restaurant. Do enjoy these when you are done with the cache.
The cache is a small plastic box containg logbook, pen, coins from different countries (including Sweden) and a Portugese bill.
The cache is well hidden in the place where it´s supposed to be according to the hint. PLEASE!!! Put it back there when you are done. There are a lot of muggles in the area and the cache could easily disappear if it´s not hidden proparly. Thank you!
Enjoy!
