Geocache Description:

Windsor to Wisemans Ferry (W2W Series)

==========================================================.
A leisurely drive from Windsor - Wilberforce - Ebenezer - Lower Portland - Leets Vale - Webbs Creek to Wisemans Ferry. Just over 40km of back road following the Hawkesbury River. Part of the road is unsealed, but suitable for 2 wheel drive cars. ( Can be slippery if wet ) This series of caches passes through Bicentenary Road. So I have named the caches after each ship in the First Fleet. - I hope you enjoy the drive. Easy finds, plenty of swaps, can you get all eleven in the series? Good Luck.
==========================================================
The Alexander was a First Fleet transport of 452 tons, barque-built with quarterdeck, built at Hull in 1783. She was the largest transport ship in the First Fleet. Before leaving England, fever broke out on board, and sixteen men died. She left Portsmouth on 13 May 1787, carrying 195 male convicts. 15 more convicts died on the journey, the most for any ship in the fleet. She arrived at Port Jackson, Sydney, Australia, on 26 January 1788.
