This cache takes you to 2 interesting spaces relating to Nazi Germany in Bloemfontein.
The most obvious is the Fanta sign. Fanta was created in Germany after embargos were placed on Germany and as a result, the Coke syrup could not be sent to Germany and the Coke factory had to create an alternative. They then developed Fanta as a result.
The most interesting is the house opposite. 1 Rhyn Street used to house Mr Barry, the editor of The Outspan newspaper. The Outspan was a South African weekly magazine (1927-1957). Its subtitle was "South Africa's Weekly for Everybody". It was published in Bloem by The Friend Newspapers Ltd, first appearing on 4 March 1927, and is said to have been established following the pattern of the British Everybody's, which was set up in 1913.
While on assignment in prewar Germany while flying over, Mr Barry accidentally and inadvertantly took photographs of Nazi concentration camps. The blackroom where those photographs were developed is still located at 1 Rhyn Street although the house is not open to the public. The photos were sent to American intelligence but they did nothing about it that we know of until the war began.
The cache is placed on the fence of Modenso Park and the coordinates take you to the path right next to the fence where the cache is placed. The nearby cache gives you more information about the Park but the trains come out to play on Sunday afternoons making this cache perfect for those cachers with children who would like to ride model steam trains.
