Crazyburn - Walk the plank
Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions
in our disclaimer.
This cache is one of the Crazyburn series of caches that will take you for a little trip to different places around Craigieburn.
There is a mixture of sizes - larger caches hidden in plain sight, smaller containers hidden in nooks and crannies, sneaky micros, and everything in between. There is a mixture of areas – parks, shopping centres, sports fields and even the big weird things that you see while you drive around, but never went and had a good look at. Some of the caches will be easy finds, while others will hopefully have you scratching your head for a while.
Some of the caches in this series contain a clue for the final, so make sure you write down any numbers that you happen across.
This cache is located in a park along the Malcolm Creek. In this area, the path of the creek has been changed significantly to provide a flood retarding basin to reduce the chance of flooding further down the creek.
What this means for us, is that we get a developed area of parkland, complete with a few different walking/running loops of carrying lengths, a playground and BBQ area and workout stations among other things.
There is a high level of muggle activity at many times of the day, as people and their furry friends come for walks around the area. When placing the cache, I watched a young dog get off their leash and start terrorizing the poor ducks in the lake, much to the dismay of the former lead-holder, who presumably was none too impressed with having a swampy, muddy and wet dog to bring home!
The cache is located at one of the less-travelled areas of the park – a place where pirates may force one to “walk the plank”. You will need to walk the plank to get to GZ, unless you feel like a wade through the swamp. Be grateful, however - a walk down the plank was not as sadistic a punishment as some others, such as keelhauling.
The path is prone to flood during times of heavy rainfall, but don’t worry – the cache is above the water line, so the raised water levels will only serve to clean some of the duck poo off the path!
