Memorial Pool Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

Ngaambul: As there's been either no response from the cache owner, no cache to find or log to sign, or it's been a number of months since the last owner note. I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace/make available the cache sometime in the near future (next 30 days), just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the current guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it. Should you replace the cache after 30 days has passed please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.

Geocache Description:

Cache located at the old Mowbray War Memorial Pool in memory of Masters swimming events held there over the years.

The Mowbray Pool closed in 2002 due to rising maintenance costs leaving Launceston without a public indoor pool for 7 years before the new Aquatic Centre was finally opened. In the intervening time bathers would brave the outdoors at the Windmill Hill complex where in winter the mist coming from the 50m pool surface often obscured the view of the far end. Brrrrrr. This cache, a 200ml Sistema, was placed to start a 1989 Tasmanian Masters Games medallion TB on its journey. The swim events for these games were held at the Mowbray pool.
