Geocache Description:

Magnetic cache. Easy grab at a relatively quiet spot. It was a cloudy day when I placed the cache but the coords will bring you very close to GZ and the hint is a dead giveaway.

Hartenbos is a town in the Western Capeprovince of South Africa. It is located some 45 kilometres outside George, South Africa. It belongs, together with 20 other settlements, to the Mossel Bay Local Municipality. Originally a farm, the South African Railways and Harbours turned it into a holiday resort for their lower-rung employees in 1933. In 1936 the Afrikaanse Taal en Kultuurvereniging (ATKV, and "Afrikaans Language and Cultural Society" in English) purchased the farm for 7000 pounds, divided it into 670 lots which sold for about 50 pounds each. The resort was expanded over the years, and several lots were hired out permanently on condition that no permanent brick structures were built on them; not until 1994 were people allowed to purchase these lots.
