This is a letterbox hybrid cache. It is also an ammo can that has a number of toys inside for trade for the little ones we sometimes bring with us on our adventures. Please trade fairly. In the the bag that holds the log book you will also find a stamp which we kindly ask you to leave in the cache.
In the spirit of around the world in 14 days we decided to hide a series of letterbox hybrid caches honouring an interesting or signficant city in the world that starts with each letter of the alphabet as we found a stamp set which had stamps from A-Z.
Adelaide, the capital of South Australia (SA), is a sophisticated, vibrant city with a rich cultural heritage, and plenty of attractions for the history buff, culture tourist and gourmand alike. South Australia was the only convict-free colony, as it was established as a free settlement and populated with voluntary emigration. Significantly, the Act that established South Australia as a colony in 1834 also included a guarantee that the Aboriginal peoples of the state and their descendants would continue to hold the lands that they ‘now actually occupied or enjoyed’.
Adelaide quickly became known as the City of Churches for the large number of churches erected in the city; many of these are still around and are even still used today, and their beautiful architecture is a fascinating insight into the city’s past. Today, the city boasts delicious and multicultural restaurants, a thriving café and bar culture and excellent boutique shopping. (It’s also the opal mining capital of the world, so it’s a great place to pick up some jewelry for yourself or someone you love!)
Adelaide is a wonderful spot for gorgeous scenery, with lots of easily accessible natural beauty within the city itself, and an abundance of regional beauty only a stone’s throw out of the city. South Australia was ranked 5th in the top regions of the world for 2017, with good reason: this is a state with so much to offer, and Adelaide is an enchanting treasure in its own right.
