Geocache Description:

Come for a walk and enjoy the Dinosaur Trail

 

This cache is named after Tyrannosaurus Rex



Tyrannosaurus Rex is by far the most popular of all dinosaurs, spawning a huge number of books, movies, TV shows and video games. Some experts think T. Rex feasted on already dead prey, on the premise that it couldn't have been fast enough or smart enough to hunt down other dinosaurs--but it was equipped with features that are found in modern scavengers, like vultures and that T. Rex juveniles were covered in downy coats of feathers. Despite how it's depicted in action movies, we don't know for sure how speedy Tyrannosaurus Rex was. Unlike the juggernaut of the Jurassic Park movies, it's possible that this dinosaur lumbered along at a poky 10 miles per hour, max--meaning a hungry female would have found it hard to outrun a kid on a bicycle! New research, which implies that T. Rex adults may have tipped the scales at 10 tons, also places some limits on how fast this dinosaur could have run! Its arms were still tiny, though, a puzzling fact that's explained in this article. T. Rex coexisted with another famous dinosaur, Triceratops--and it's not inconceivable that these two dinosaurs occasionally tangled it up. 

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 bison tube is what you seek. 

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

Good luck and happy caching
