Geocache Description:

Micro cache at historical site in Cairns city

A magnetic Nano with log book, BYO writing implement.
This will take you to a site of historical signifigance in Cairns city, the QATB headquarters (Ambulance) from 1921 - 1995. This heritage listed building still imparts it's yesteryear charm, and now serves as a very quaint cafe/ coffee shop.
The site not only housed the Ambulance Brigade for 74 years but also acted as a field hospital during WW2 as injured allied soldiers came back from the war in the Pacific, mainly New Guinea.
In the 1950's- 60's the Brigade was home to the radio communications to the Cairns Aerial Ambulance service, which rescued countless patients from inaccessable areas of the Far North and Cape York. The radio tower remained until the 90's and was for many years the highest structure in Cairns.
Recommended you come not during normal business hours as this place will be teeming with Muggles. Even out of normal hours you will need to exercise some stealth.
This is our first hidden cache, and is of some signifigance to Mr Onaka_Suita.
Happy hunting.
