Welcome to
Mitchell Freeway Cycle Path Mint Tin Mayhem - The Extension
(Placed with kind permission of the series owner blingg)
A geocache trail specifically designed for cachers to use their geobikes to obtain "smileys", the trail covers approx 40km one way by bicycle with the added bonus of being able to return with your bike to your starting point. If you start at the Perth end you can collect the caches along the path to Clarkson and travel back to Perth on the train or vice versa. Alternatively you may wish to start at Stirling, Warwick or Whitfords or any other station along the line and collect the caches to either end then hop on the train to the other end and cache back to your starting point
Original description from blingg
However should you decide to collect the caches using your motor vehicle one way is approx 45kms and over 6km walkto reach all the caches. You will pass within 50 to 100m ( on the Freeway ) of most of the caches and in some cases park within 40 - 50m of a cache but to get to the cache will entail a round trip on foot of 600 to 1500m
Apart from the caches in this series there are six or seven more within 50 to 60m of the cycle path and another 10 more within 500m
As the name suggests the caches are all mint tins, some are camouflaged, some not. Some are in full view of muggles walking past, others are hidden. Some are high up and others are down low. Approx half the caches can be retreived without dismounting from your geobike.
The caches contain just a logbook ( there is room for a small trackable ) so you will need to provide your own writing stick.
On NO account should you stop in the Freeway breakdown lane to retreive any of these caches
