Description

To help us remember ANZAC Day - S41 09.470 E146 10.546

ANZAC Day may be a little different this year BUT we should not forget those that gave their ALL so we could enjoy the freedoms we do now

So this LOCATIONLESS cache will take you to a site where:

A Shrine is a clocktower built by immigrants in 1953 which represents the three military services.  The clocktower itself is built over the original World War One monument which was unveiled on Anzac Day 1924.

 

The design features include: The base represents the blue sea and is the outline of Tasmania. It was painted red by the local council some time after, according to Jernej Bajzelj. Out of the land rise three columns, presented as three open books standing upright. They represent the armed services of the army, navy and air force. On the inside surface of the columns, glass rectangles bear the names of the municipality's fallen of World War II. The three chains unite the armed services. Above the pillars is the four-faced clock, which sees in all directions. It represents time and eternity. At the apex is the Torch of Remembrance, kept burning to signify memory. At the heart of the shrine stands the 1914-1919 War Memorial Cenotaph. The central stone circle is blood- red and represents the altar of sacrifice. A laurel wreath hangs from the base of the clock, a symbol of heroes and victors. Woven into the leaves of European laurel are wattle flower heads in groups of three.

To log this cache, please post a screen shot using the "little man" on the GCA map to view the shrine; please only shots taken using the little man to view the shrine

The co-ordinates for this locationless cache are S41 09.470 E146 10.546

LEST WE FORGET

Congrats Sol de Lune on the FTF - well done.

I know I have been through this place, but don’t recall seeing this structure. It’s good to reflect on those lost in war on any day. Thanks for this opportunity.

Decided to leave this cache for logging on ANZAC Day but wasn't expecting it to get so far down the Locationless list it took ages to refind it. Shocked Nice to be able to make a visit to Tassie on ANZAC Day. One day we hope to see it in person. TF showing us around OldSaint.

This was quite amazing to do with today’s technology, a special day to commemorate today, Anzac Day, so different this morning at the end of our Driveway in the current global situation.

Thanks OldSaint for another great idea and locationless. We are lucky enough to have visited this beautiful place in the past.
2020 will be a very different Anzac Day but we will still be remembering all those who gave there all so we may be free and safe. Smile

I (vaguely) recall passing through here on New Years Day 1982 on the way from Georgetown to Burnie, to watch The Gift.
That was during my first honeymoon.
Second visit was actually on my second honeymoon in October 1989, on our way from Cradle Mountain Resort to Devonport, to head back home.
Visited today via google maps and recorded using a screenshot on the laptop.
Thanks for the memories OldSaint

We saw this while doing a lap of Tasmania last November. It's certainly a prominent structure though it's easy to miss the detail when you're the driver. A nice idea to help us shift our focus a little, as we approach Anzac Day, and remember the sacrifices that the men and women of our armed services have made for us. Thanks OldSaint.

12th day of my locationaless "streak" Very Happy A nice easy one after 3 hours of cleaning out the gutters and trimming all the trees that were attacking the gutters. Yes it will be a different Anzac Day this year, though I don't have any family personally who were involved as far as I know. Dad was too young though did do National Service in the 1950s when he lived in Britain, and tells me that as a child he was evacuated from Kent in the south of England where his parents had a farm to further north in case of invasion or bombing. My only experience serving with the military was as a civilian contractor in Cambodia in 1992 during the UNTAC mission for 6 weeks. Thanks OldSaint.

Great idea for a cache OldSaint!

Travelled from Melbourne to Tassie over the last Christmas holidays. We stayed in an AirBnb farmhouse in Forth, but didn't quite get up to Ulverstone. We've been to a few local dawn services, Anzac Day will be different this year that's for sure. I'm thinking about getting the trumpet out for the idea promoted by James Morrison - locals to play the Last Post on an instrument and gather in their driveways at 6:00AM on the day. Have to get practising!

This is my favourite town on the North West Coast and the memorial here is a centerpiece of it. Although Anzac Day will be very different and tough this year, no-one will forget.

Thanks OldSaint/OldMate

Great idea for a cache coming up to Anzac Day. We have visited this location when we first started travelling. Have not been back for quite some time. When this is over, it may be time to head there again.

This will be thie first year in many that we have not attended a service. There is a local link to attend a virtual dawn Anzac Service at Bargara Qld and I will be watching that. TFTL OldSaint. Clan MinotaurVery Happy
