Geocache Description:

This cache takes you to two neighbouring churches that are also beside the famous Benoni Bunny Park. In December it morphs into a nativity cache. (See photos) We even found an old-fashioned roadhouse on the way home!

The cache itself is outside the church and is interesting in its own right because there are two churches all alone in this green-belt area: A Gereformeerde Kerk and a Presbyterian Church. They are both from the Calvinistic Reformed Tradition. During the 1800's the Dutch Reformed Churches were unable to get ministers from Holland and so they made use of Scottish Presbyterian Ministers. It seems history has repeated itself in the juxtaposition of these churches.

The cache is also next to the Benoni Bunny Park which is a long-standing landmark in Benoni. It is looking very good at the moment with a variety of farm and exotic animals on display.

PS: As an added bonus on the way home, Team Cabey discovered an old fashioned RoadHouse where the waiters bring your food and drinks to the car on those trays that clip to the windows. The kiddo really enjoyed the experience. The co-ordinates are in the waypoints...

  • Those who simply want to do the cache for the numbers are welcome to do so - the cache is available during the day.
  • Those who would like to have a great family outing wait until December when the congregation put up a great display of Christmas lights - go and do the cache in the evening and leave enough time to grab a shake or something to eat on the way home. It'll be one of those holiday experiences your family can enjoy!
Below are photos of what the Christmas Display in December looks like...
