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.

First Baptist
On the 26th of March in 1880 at the half yearly meeting of the SA Baptist Association held at Mitcham, a committee was appointed to take action in relation to the establishment of a Baptist interest in the growing suburb of Parkside. The first meeting of the committee was held in the vestry of Flinders St Baptist Church on the 30th of March 188- with Rev S Mead as chairman. Land was eventually purchased for a cost of £263 and plans discussed for building the chapel. While this was going on the first service was conducted in the home of Mr J Coudrey at 46 Young St on the first Sunday in August 1880. A month later the vestry at the rear of the church was completed (now crèche and prayer room) and services were held there until the church was opened for worship on December the 5th 1880. Records show that the vestry meetings were “crowded to its utmost capacity morning and evening”. The church was constructed in a matter of just a few months at a cost of £1450-12-0.
