Geocache Description:

Geocaches are hidden along the Willunga to McLaren Vale section of the Coast To Vines Rail Trail. Walk or ride, the trail is also suitable for wheelchairs & strollers although cache retrieval is not possible from a wheelchair. Occasional rest areas along the way provide water for you, your dog or horse. We recommend taking plenty of drinking water, share the trail, keep left unless passing other trail users and take care at road crossings.

Here are some facts for this day. You are welcome to log your interesting, quirky or fun fact/s with your log.

On This Day - October 13th 1933

Australia's first traffic lights begin operating in Sydney. 

The world's first traffic light was operating in London, England, even before the advent of the automobile. Installed at a London intersection in 1868, it was a revolving gas-lit lantern with red and green signals. However, on 2 January 1869, the light exploded, injuring the policeman who was operating it. It was not until the early 1900s that Garrett Morgan, an African-American living in Cleveland, Ohio, developed the electric automatic traffic light. Originally based on a semaphore-system, traffic lights gradually evolved through the years to become the red-amber-green lights they are today.

Sydney's first set of traffic lights was installed on 13 October 1933. It was another 32 years before the nation's capital, Canberra, received its first two sets of traffic lights, on 23 October 1965.
