Geocache Description:


This Multi will take you across the town of Northam to many of its bridges, on the way you will be able to learn about part of the town's interesting history. The information boards at each of the waypoints will give the clues needed to find the cache which is a 1.2ltr Sistema.   

Depending on your mode of transport I recommend the following. In a car you can get within a few car lengths of each waypoint, but you will miss out on walking along the river trail. For bike riders I would recommend the whole tour, there are no hills and its all easy going. If you are hopefully walking I would get the first two to three stages by car and park somewhere on Minson Ave. This will give you a central position to all of the remaining waypoints and you will be able to enjoy the intent of this Multi.

Unfortunately the information boards at some bridges in town are missing so I haven’t been able to include them but if your curiosity needs satisfying you can get a well-crafted brochure at the tourist beauru located near stage 5.

Good luck hopefully you won’t need it, but it is my first multi…….
