This is a short offset multi, in a little park on Parnell Place. The park is between Nobby and Newcastle Beaches and very close to Newcastle Baths.
In the centre of the park you will find the Jubilee Coal Monument. Newcastle and its region were famous for coal, and the monument was erected in 1909 to celebrate the changes in coal mining and shipping technology in the 50 years since 1859. Newcastle today is the world's biggest coal port - no longer something to be proud about.
To complete the Ground Zero coordinates below, you need to read some information off the monument.
This spot is easy to get to by the tram, and though parking can be tricky on summer weekends there are a lot 2h parking spots around. This is our first cache and we hope you like it.
