An easy cache to mark the end of an era and the start of a new one. With the passing of Queen Elizabeth II on 8 Sept 2022 after a 70-year reign, Charles, at 73, became the oldest person to ascend the British throne.
The long read:
Alexandra Road estate was completed in 1952, the same year that British King George VI died. Parts of the estate and the nearby area were quickly named after Elizabeth, her husband and their children. Besides Queenstown, Singapore's first satellite town, there was Prince Philip Avenue, Prince Charles Crescent, Prince Charles Square, and Princess Anne Close.
The SIT flats in Alexandra were eventually pulled down and several condominiums now occupy the area around Alexandra Canal - Tanglin View, Tanglin Regency, The Crest and Principal Garden. Soon, an HDB development will join them.
Today, only Prince Philip Avenue and Prince Charles Crescent still exist in Alexandra.
Enjoy a stroll down the park connector after or before finding the cache. Look out for birds, such as yellow-vented bulbul, Malayan pied fantail and the oriental pied hornbill; monitor lizards; and otters - the Zouk family are regulars here.
For the FTF, there is a pathtag for you to keep and log.
