Barker-Greenfields Wetland Walk 1 Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

McKee Clan: we went along today and removed the wetland walk caches, after many month deciding what to do. We decided to redesign this fantastic walk. We spent many sleepless night thinking where and what to do, relocating and redesigning would mean previous finders would miss out on the new areas and hides. I hope this is okay and understood as it is such a beautiful place. Thankyou for placing the area into our hands. We will be doing a CITO in the area as it badly need it and council is happy to assist again. I have taken the original write up with a few mods to suit to the new caches and referenced to the SA_Parrotheads as it would have not been possible without these original caches. tftc

Geocache Description:

Wetland walk

       Barker-Greenfields Wetland walk.


  


At first glance this appears to be an ugly section of road. Litter is trapped in the screening trees along the edges and industry complexes add to the bleak look. But there is a hidden oasis for those who leave the road and head into the wetlands. During the summer it can dry out but come the wet season the whole area will transform as water fills the channels.

This collection of caches is designed to be found one after the other as you follow the walking trail.

Rather than creating a single multicache this has been designed as a child friendly caching experience. The path is wide and well sealed so taking a pram along the path will not be a problem. There are no hills and it is an easy stroll. There are small bridges, a board walk across reeds and lots of small tree along the trail which should be a delight for children to explore. When it is wet there will be lots of water, birds and other wildlife associated with a wetland so your walk can also be an educational experience.

The occasional rabbit will run across your path and the caches are hidden differently to add to the fun. If your child has created a stamp or has a special stamp set why not stop at the letterbox cache and get them to leave their mark.

Access to the trail is only available via Wetland walk 1 and 4. My preference is Waypoint 4 . The trail start is easy to see as it is next to a large power pole and a sign telling cars not to enter the trail. There is also a lots of space to park away from the road.
