Geocache Description:

A quiet location known as Lower Somerville on the Mornington Peninsula. History is kept alive by a Historical marker. This marker is known as Hastings Shire # 4 Marker.
 


This part of Somerville was the original township until such time as the Railway Line was built in the 1890's. The town wanting to be closer to the Railway moved further up the hill to its present location.

In 1864 some early settlers of Somerville - Alfred Jones, James Clarke and James Grant purchased a one acre plot of land and gifted this in order that a Church / School be built on this land. This building was known as The Union Church and School.

This cache is a simple 1 stage multi.

At the listed Co-ordinates you will find the Historical # 4 Marker. Read the plaque on the marker in order to obtain the Co-ordinates for the cache.

The Cache is a systema container containing a Student Attendance Log Book and pencil.

The cache is camouflaged to represent the theme.

The children come to this school by walking or riding their ponies. The sound of the bell warns them, that School has started for the day.

You too have the honour of ringing the bell. Look out for it.

Congratulations on FTF - Shogun
