Geocache Description:

This cache is a mint tin with a log, a pencil and a happy face!


The name Yokine was taken from the Aboriginal word meaning Native Dog.

The name was chosen because the area is close to Dog Swamp.

Yokine was part of the grant originally allocated to TRC Walters in 1840. Sometime around 1927 Western Australian Golf Limited owned Yokine and subdivided a small portion of land near the Golf Course. Before world War 11 the only house in Yokine was at the eastern end of Royal Street. Yokine experienced a houseing boo, after the war and musch of the area near the Golf Course was developed by the early 1950's. the southern areas grew rapidly in the 1960s and by the late 1970s Yokine was almost completely developed.

This is a lovely park with a large water catchement area that the ducks  and water birds love. A playground for the children and some park seats for you to sit and enjoy the bird calls.
