AussiePam: This one has been hard to maintain - especially for those of us who take the covid lockdown rules reasonably seriously, and I'm done with it. Goodbye little duckie.

Geocache Description:


Grasmere.

"There is something delicious about writing the first words of a story. You never quite know where they'll take you."
― Beatrix Potter
(... yes, or a cache description...)

The incorrect double 's' in the Council sign was evidently an open invitation to Aussie kids to get creative!

For some of us, Grasmere conjures up visions of the Cumbrian mountains of North West England - pretty lakes, derwent pencils, romantic poets and of course a well-loved author of children's books. We imagine hosts of golden daffodils, red deer, fell ponies, kites, Peter Rabbit, Jemima Puddle-Duck and Squirrel Nutkin.

But of course this is Sydney where we do things differently.
The lake mist here is probably heat haze on Middle Harbour (which you can glimpse from the northern end of the park) and the fauna ...


“This is a fierce bad rabbit;
look at his savage whiskers,
and his claws and his turned-up tail.”

― Beatrix Potter

Grasmere Reserve is a nice spot for a walk and has some playground equipment for the family. Why not bring a picnic? But beware...
“It is said that the effect of eating too much lettuce is 'soporific'.”
― Beatrix Potter

The cache is a tupperware container, capable of holding small trackables.
