The posted coordinates will take you to a playground above the
Conder Community Wetlands. From there you'll follow the drain
system which feeds the wetlands and keeps the wetlands wet.
As the water flows down this drain system it picks up litter and
that can be caught in traps, or flows into the wetland with the
next rain. I flagged this cache as a CITO cache in the hope that
cachers who complete the cache can bring a bag along and take any
rubbish they happen to find along the way out of the water
system.
And as a sweetener, for every 50 finds on the cache where the
cacher says that they came in and cleaned up the area while
caching, I'll give away a random geocoin to one of those 50 people.
And if you happen to put a photo of yourself or your kids with your
clean up effort, I'll make sure you get two entries in the next
draw. I know there may be an initial rush when the cache is first
released, and that the area may be fairly clean as a result,
however if you make an effort then that still counts.
As with any CITO event/cache, please be careful what you're
picking up, and if you're taking the kiddies along, keep an extra
close eye on them as we don't want anyone to pick up something they
shouldn't.
Now to the cache - at the posted coordinates you'll find an
animal that lives in the wetlands. Match the animal to the printout
below and then adjust your coordinates as outlined. When you find
the fish, you've found the hiding spot of the cache. If you
have kiddies on the journey, it may be fun for them to cross off
the animals as they're found. Also, there's one road crossing on
the trip. It's a fairly quiet road, but with munchkins you can
never be too careful! And adult supervision is required, as the
cache is a little high.
Hope you enjoy the area, and if you're visiting around sunset,
the noise from all the frogs can be very entertaining. And just to
make it a bit easier, all the animals are nailed to wood.
