There was a show I used to love watching called the Scarlet Pimpernel which featured a rhyme by Sir Percival Blakeney. It goes something like this:
They seek him here, they seek him there
Those Frenchies seek him everywhere!
Is he in heaven? Or is he in hell?
That damned elusive Pimpernel!
There’s a YouTube snippet of the recitation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=01i19qog8Pw
According to Wikipedia, “The Scarlet Pimpernel is a classic play and adventure novel by Baroness Emma Orczy, set during the French Revolution. It was first produced as a record-breaking play in an adaptation by Julia Neilson and Fred Terry” (https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/The_Scarlet_Pimpernel).
So why this poem and why this cache? Well, the Pimpernel works in the dark but is also right before their eyes. He is also very elusive. And as caches go, I hope this one is going to live up to its namesake (!).
And after logging your find, you'll probably find that it's easier to insert the scroll/log book back if you firstly 'wind'/roll the scroll back tightly, then place it in its zip lock bag, then roll the zip lock bag tightly, insert into container and then seal the zip lock bag. Sealing the zip lock bag before inserting into the container doesn't seem to fit as snugly.
And seeing that you're in the area, you might like to stop by at the Faraway Tree which is just nearby. I call it the Faraway Tree because of its huge trunk which made me think of Enid Blyton's The magic Faraway Tree series. I just love its multi coloured patterned smooth trunk and peeling bark. Try running your hands on it. I'm not 100% sure but it looks like a lemon scented eucalypt and also a blue gum.
I wonder how many others you can spot along this stretch of Gardiners Creek between High Street and Warrigal Road.
