Geocache Description:


This cache will take you to a quiet area of Windhoek, but to a place that may be filled with laughter and happiness. The dark green nano is spinning between two colours: the one of the sun on the Namibian flag and the other one, the one on the bottom right of the flag. Free entry, bring your kids. The cache is always available, but please use stealth and be safety conscious even if this is consideres a safe area. BYOP. 

 

The design of the national flag was chosen by the National Symbols Sub-Committee of Namibia. 870 entries for the design of flag were carefully examined and six were short-listed. Finally, three designs were selected from the six chosen entries and were combined to form Namibia’s national flag. The winning designs were created by three Namibians - Don Stevenson, Ortrud Clay, and Theo Jankowski. Namibia’s Constituent Assembly adopted the final design of the flag on February 2, 1990. On March 9, 1990, the flag was unveiled and the three designers were publicly acknowledged by the flag selection committees chairperson.

 

The colors and symbols of the flag all have their own meanings. The blue color is a symbol of the sky and the ocean both of which play a vital role in the country’s well-being. The red color represents the people of the country, their courage and determination to achieve equal opportunity for all in the future. White in the flag symbolizes unity and peace. The country’s agricultural wealth and vegetation are represented by the green color. Golden-yellow relates to life and energy.
