We will be placing these pit-stop caches at random locations while travelling around and caching. Many of them will be our favourite stopping places. Some will be interesting and some won't, depending on your taste.
This one is in my Mother's Hometown and there was no suitable spot to put it near her home, so we used this spot instead.
I will add some info and photos about this location as soon as I have had time to research it.
Enough waffle, go get it.
For those who wish to know more about this location:
Die Van Riebeeck-fees was die driehonderdjarige herdenking van die landing aan die Kaap van Jan van Riebeeck en daarmee saam die grondlegging van wat later sou uitloop op die Kaapkolonie en toe die Unie van Suid-Afrika. Dit was saam met die simboliese Ossewatrek in 1938 en die inhuldiging van die Voortrekkermonument in 1949 een van die drie grootste feeste in Suid-Afrika in die twintigste eeu. Die fees se slagspreuk was: "Ons bou 'n nasie" en die sentrale gedagte vir die feesvieringe: "Suid-Afrika ná driehonderd jaar."
The Van Riebeeck Festival was the three hundred year anniversary of the landing at the Cape of Jan van Riebeeck and with it the foundation of what would later culminate in the Cape Colony , and then the Union of South Africa . It was with the symbolic Trek in 1938 and the inauguration of the Voortrekkermonument in 1949, one of the three biggest festivals in South Africa in the twentieth century. The festival's slogan was : "We are building a nation" and the central idea for the celebration : "South Africa after three hundred years."
