This collection of caches is based on the Church Micro series in the UK, which has over 12,000 caches. Given that Adelaide is affectionately known as the City of Churches it seems appropriate to have a small series hidden at historical churches.

From South Australia’s foundation in 1836, the majority of people in the early years of the colony lived in either the country or the central area of the City of Adelaide. By the mid 1850s the Eastern districts of Kent Town, Kensington and Norwood developed as urban places with an egalitarian spirit which offered cheaper land and rents than in the city centre. Proximity to the city, the hills aspect, good alluvial soils, the fresh water of the nearby creeks and the River Torrens and the many wells in the area, meant Kent Town was a prized place to live.
The suburb of Kent Town was named after Dr B A Kent who was the first resident of the area. A large number of Wesleyans lived in the newly developed suburb. As early as 1850 they held services in a cottage occupied by Mr. Henry Broad on the corner of Beulah Road and Fullarton Road.
Construction of the church nave was completed by Opening Day on Sunday 6 August, 1865. A gathering of estimated 7,000 people packed the space inside and outside the church for the services of celebration. The church was named the Jubilee Wesleyan Methodist Church. The Minister at the opening was the Rev W Taylor, from California. (http://www.wesleykenttown.org.au/history-architecture/)
