Perth's Watershed Divide Traditional Cache

Cache is an easy park and grab meant to bring you to an interesting educational spot. You're looking for a small container with room for tradeables and trackables. The grab is meant to be quick so you can spend time looking at the sign.

From this point, water falling to the east of this sign will flow 120 kms into Lake Erie via the Grand River while water falling to the West will flow 180 kms into Lake St Clair via the Thames River.

A watershed starts at the highest points on the landscape, like mountain peaks, ridgelines, and hilltops that divide one valley or drainage from another. In every watershed, small streams flow into larger streams, which flow into rivers, lakes, and bays. The imaginary line that connects those high points is called the watershed divide. The watershed is normally named after the largest river or body of water at the lowest point in the landscape. To your left is the Grand River watershed and to your right is the Upper Thames watershed.

Hope you enjoyed the spot!
