This is a simple traditional cache and No. 7 in an occasional series.
These byways have come into being through a variety of reasons. Some are easements for drainage etc., others are walkways left in subdivisions while a few are narrow linear creek walks. Older lanes provided access for the ‘night carts’ that collected ‘night soil’ from the houses backing on to the lanes – nice euphemisms! All the byways are easily accessible by foot and some by car, although walking is recommended. Some are quite attractive while others are less appealing. The caches are all on public land. WARNING: You may be observed by Muggles living adjacent to the byways. This byway is named after Thomas Duell (1809-84) a colonist of 1838 who bought five acres on the south side of Cooper Place and built the house Holly Grange where he lived during the 1850s. He later moved to a farm near Kapunda. It is reported that in 1854 he was called before the Magistrate’s Court to answer a charge of assaulting a fourteen-year-old youth for impudence and trespass. He had ‘threatened to knock his brains out’ and struck him with a rail. Duell was fined 10 shillings with 20 shillings costs. Interesting, how would Mr. Duell fare today? The house still stands at 26 Cooper Place and is currently for sale. You are looking for an eclipse mint tin.
