CITO Crusaders - Leap Day 2020 [Putney] Cache In Trash Out® Event

🛰 CITO Crusaders - Leap Day 2020 [Putney] 🚮

Be a CITO Crusader and kick off your bonus day of caching in 2020, by joining us for this morning Cache In Trash Out Event!

Acknowledgement of Country

We acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the Land on which this cache is located, the Wallamattagal People of the Darug Nation, and their continuing connection to Country and community. We pay our respect to Elders past and present.

Their Land stretches from the north shore of the Parramatta River, including the City of Ryde, from the intersection of the Lane Cove River and west to Parramatta.

We recognise the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people as the First Australians and we are committed to honouring their unique cultural and spiritual relationships to the land, waters and seas, and their rich contribution to society.

The Land surrounding the Parramatta River was occupied for many thousands of years by the Burramattagal, Toongagal, Wallumedegal, Wangal, and Wategora Aboriginal peoples. The river was an important cultural site, source of food and a place for trade.
