Geocache Description:

A quick roadside cache, and the second in a series that explains the street names in the area.


A lis or les in Irish is a fort. The name Lisdogan therefore means "Dogan's Fort". Lisdogan Estate, from which the street took its name, was owned by pioneer businessman Andrew Johnston. He was born at Lisdogan in Ireland. Johnston's blockhouse was erected by the British in 1900 on the highest point of the property to protect the pass through Meintjieskop now called Tom Jenkins Drive. The estate was acquired by the government and included into the Libertas Estate.

Please note the narrow streets. Since no parking is available, take care when stopping in or next to the road in this residential area.

The coordinates for this cache was captured using a Garmin Oregon 650. Mobile phone reception is quite bad in the area and using your mobile geocaching app may not be as accurate in pinpointing the exact location.
