Geocache Description:

This is a simple traditional cache and No.23 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.

William (Bill) F. E. Smith was a pioneer aviator who lived at 8 Watson Avenue where he kept his Avro bi-plane Skylark in a hangar. He learnt to fly with the RAF in England during World War I.
In 1924 he flew extensively in Australia including a flight over the Adelaide Oval where he opened the football carnival by bouncing the ball from the aeroplane.
