Description

The oldest building in Perth lost in the back of the gardens

Rather than place a physical cache in a location with so much security, a virtual seems the sensible choice.  I was amazed that Perth's oldest building is "lost" at the end of the car park in the Supreme Court Gardens.  It was the original court house in Perth city.  It is now a museum which can be visited and well worth a visit for the artefacts within.  The internal structure looks more impressive than the outside.

To log a valid find, please include a photo of the building or the plaque.  The photo must be taken by the finder (not off the internet) and no need to have the cacher or a GPSR in the shot.

Woke at 2.30am this morning and never got back to sleep, caught train at 6am to head to Perth, arrived at 8.30am. It was already the start of a long day as I’m not getting home until 8.30pm, let’s hope I can sleep on the train Laughing

Many times ve walked passed this church or caught the bus here, once again I’m back here

A quick photo then not the next

Decided to pick up a few caches while out for a ride into the city on the bike. This was one of the last ones before returning home. Quite a pleasant spot for this old building, its the first time I have been through this area, so thanks for bringing us here to soak up the atmosphere, its a quiet spot on the weekend.
Edit : corrected the log date to reflect the actual found date.
