Geocache Description:


Welcome to Burns' Park in St. Georges. Enjoy the view. Warning! High muggle area, try not to be seen! Please put back in the same location.

This small park on Ordnance Island provides a great view of St. Georges harbour and also a nice place to sit and take the mess off your feet. It includes the the Desmond Hale Fountain statue of Sir George Somers, unveiled by the late Princess Margaret in 1984, during the 375th anniversary of the Sea Venture shipwreck in 1609. The park itself was unveiled on April 20, 1997 during the Twinning Ceremonies with Lyme Regis, with a Scottish Piper in attendance. Major Burns, originally from Scotland in the United Kingdom but Bermudian by status and domicile, was the Town Crier from 1964 to 1994 and a very popular figure for many years.

Interesting factiod Bob Burns is the 
Guiness World Record holder for the loudest human speaking voice at 113 decibels.



This micro cache is dedicated to his legacy as well as his "Booming" voice.
