This cache is in Kew Reserve, with pathways going to Easther Crescent, Thorn St, Hazel Avenue, Rutherford St and David St. This 50 ml container is tucked in by the fence of the Caversham Petanque Court. Bring your own pen, sit down like a spider at the middle of your web and watch a cross section of life in Caversham. Wait until you're not watched and then find the cache.
From left to right there's the Caversham Presbyterian Church which is an historic building http://www.heritage.org.nz/the-list/details/7319 and has the Caversham Toy Library behind it. Then the playground of course. The Richard Hudson Kindergarten is over the fence. The courtyard over the fence in front of you is the Sara Cohen School, the secondary section, for children with special needs. In the distance down the path is the fenced dog exercise area and on the right is the St Andrews Presbyterian aged care home.
Those street names are interesting too.
Easther Crescent, originally Royal Crescent, was renamed in 1916 after Commander Francis Easther R.N. who lived in the area. He agreed provided his name was spelt correctly (pronounced east- er) There is a memorial window in St Peters Church.
