Geocache Description:

A simple traditional cache in one of the more expensive neighbourhoods of Stellenbosch. The cache is located next to a small river called The Mill Stream. 


A bit of history:

For centuries the river provided the villagers with energy for milling. The water for the mills was led out of the Eerste River fairly high up and channeled into a mill stream which flowed through the centre of town. This "molenwater" also provided drinking and irrigation water to the dwellings along the river. Not a single mill with its waterwheel has survived, but the mill stream has become a permanent embellishment of the town.

Cache contains only a logbook, so BYOP.

Please replace the cache as found, and hide it better than how you found it!

Coordinates may be a few metres out because of the trees.
