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.

The Church
The church at Norwood has close connections with the Jesuit settlement at Sevenhill. Begun as a mission outreach Father Hinterocker supervised the construction of the building that was opened in 1870.
The church is built in the Italian style, consists of a chancel, nave and north and south side chapels, the walls being of Glen Osmond stone with cement dressings. The principal entrance is by a porch at the west end of the building. This is flanked by two towers 63 feet in height to the top of the crosses. The interior walls are covered with floated rugh stucco. The chancel arch, which is semicircular, is supported by two Tuscan columns, as are those of the side chapels, in each of which is an altar fitted up with foliated capitals. Over the high altar is a life-size picture of St Ignatius.
