Geocache Description:

Come for a walk and enjoy the Dinosaur Trail


This cache is named after Iguanodon.

 



Paleontologists simultaneously know more, and less, about Iguanodon than they do about most dinosaurs--primarily because this ornithopod was one of the first dinosaurs ever to be discovered.

One of the things we know is that there was definitely more than one type of Iguanodon though the exact classification is still a matter of some dispute. Fossils have been found as far afield as Asia, Europe and North America, but it's unclear exactly how many individual species ever existed.

Iguanodon was a relatively gentle plant-eater, despite its enormous size and the scary-looking, foot-long spikes on the ends of its thumbs. It's believed that these spikes may have been a means of defense against carnivores, or they may simply have been a handy appliance for breaking open tough-shelled fruits.

Cache is located in Petrie Park and can be easily accessed via Price Street, Petrie Park Road, Hospital Road, Florence Street or Carter Road. 

Footbridges traverse the park and walking or bike-riding is a good way to see it. 

Dogs are allowed to run around leash-free on the playing field, but only when it is not in use. They must be on a leash in the rest of the park and on footbridges. 

Wildlife thrives in Petrie Park, so make occasional stops around the creek and watch out for some interesting native animals. Water dragons and fresh water turtles inhabit the creek and its surroundings. A one-way walk through the park takes fifteen to twenty minutes. There are rest areas in and around the park and there are also good spots to have a picnic.


A camoed clip lock container is what you seek. 

The cache contains a logbook only so please bring your own pen. 

Good luck and happy caching
