Geocache Description:


I grew up on the nearby Canrobert Street and the ongoing joke was that our street was a constant question, can robert? With the answer always being, can Robert what?

After studying history at University I decided to finally find out who or what my street was named after and found out Canrobert Street and the surrounding streets were named after soldiers from the Crimean War.

François Certain Canrobert was a French Marshal who ended up leading the French Forces in the Crimea. The nearby streets also get their name from FitzRoy Somerset, 1st Baron Raglan who commanded the British Forces in the Crimea.

The cache itself is located in the nearby Shadforth Street. This street was named after Thomas Shadforth whose family moved to Australia in 1825. He fought in the Crimean War and died at the Battle Sebastopol.

This a replacement for the previous cache. The terrain rating has been changed to reflect the new position. Finders will need to be tall or have a long reach!
