Acknowledgement of Country: I would like to pay my respects to the First People: the traditional custodians of the lands and waterways of Ngunnawal, Ngunawal and Ngambri Country. I would like to acknowledge that this geocache has been placed on what always was, and always will be, Aboriginal land.
The Majura Parkway project is a $288 million project, and is the single largest road infrastructure investment ever made in the ACT. The project was jointly funded in 2011 by the Commonwealth and ACT Governments.
The Majura Parkway is 11.5 kilometres of dual carriageway and will link with the Monaro Highway near Pialligo. It is a duplicated road with two lanes in each direction and a speed limit of 100 kilometres per hour. Most importantly – there is a wonderful cycleway associated with the road!
This cache is part of the Majura Cycleway series. Goldenwattle started this power-trail series with numbers 01 & 02. Others are invited to continue this series also, and it would be nice if the naming convention is continued, but naturally we have no say with this. This series is designed to be accessible principally by cyclists and walkers.
This cache is a micro, so BYOP. This cache is very special to me, because this container was given to me by my friend Alex (alpacattacker) as my birthday present LAST year. I have been meaning to hide it for ages, however I haven't been able to find a good spot for it. Today, I finally found a good spot! It's suitable I suppose that I find this spot now, because Alex and I are only two weeks away from the end of our high school years. Thank you so much for this awesome present Alex!
***FTF honours goes to Goldenwattle and Decrypter***
UPDATE: Unfortunately, Alex's present was crushed and buried when the tree at the original GZ fell onto the container. The container has been replaced with a new container and has been moved to a new hide and location.
