THE GEOCACHE IS NOT AT THE LISTED COORDINATES.
Post Office Receiving Boxes were first introduced to Sydney in 1856 it was another 5 years until Adelaide got 6 in the city and 4 in North Adelaide in 1861.
Also known as Letter-pillars, they held the cipher of the Monarch on the throne at the time of casting and installation, in this case, Queen Victoria.
The style you are looking at is the Fluted Pillar Box which has the pared-down Victorian Cipher: The letters 'V' and 'R' separated by a crown.
The 'V' stands for Victoria and the 'R' for Regina (Latin for Queen).
This is still used today for receiving letters being posted, some of these items are heritage listed but this one is not on a register that I can find at this time. Perhaps soon it will be, if you know of further information I would love to read about it.
Take a walk around the Pillar and answer the question below. swap the 'S' and 'E' numbers from the answer you choose with the listed coordinates to find the geocache location a short drive away. Photos are welcome, please don't post photos with the answer showing.
On the Kadina Letter pillar, What is the name of the city where the pillar was cast?
A. Sydney (S 58.844 E 41.158)
B. Adelaide (S 58.774 E 41.816)
C. Melbourne (S 58.474 E 41.618)
The geocache has been placed with swaps and a prize for the first finder to enjoy, a pencil or pen has been included but please remember your own writing implement in case this one is missing or doesn't work as your name needs to be in the logbook to claim your find. If the geocache needs maintenance please submit a separate 'Needs Maintenance' log to tell me about the problem and I will get it fixed as soon as I can.
