Geocache Description:

Come for a walk and enjoy the Dinosaur Trail

 

This cache is named after Triceratops



Triceratops is undoubtedly the most well known of the horned dinosaurs, and one of the best known of all the dinosaurs. With two horns on his brow, one on his nose and a spiny shield, he must have been a formidable beast. One of the largest of the ceratopians, he could reach a length of 30 feet and weighed 9 tons. Though fearsome in appearance, Triceratops was a plant eater, and most likely gathered in herds for greater protection. They lived in what is now western North America at the end of the Cretaceous period, and were probably one of the last dinosaurs before the great extinction event that ended with the demise of all the great reptiles.

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 micro is what you seek. 

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

Good luck and happy caching
