Welcome to a series of caches recognising the Popes since St Peter.
The Ring of the Fisherman (Latin: Annulus Piscatoris; Italian: Anello Piscatorio), also known as the Piscatory Ring, is an official part of the regalia worn by the Pope, who is head of the Catholic Church and successor of Saint Peter, who was a fisherman by trade. It used to feature a bas-relief of Peter fishing from a boat, a symbolism derived from the tradition that the apostles were ""fishers of men"" (Mark 1:17). The Fisherman's Ring is a signet used until 1842 to seal official documents signed by the Pope.

The trail is placed on a good dirt road and also a bitumen road.. Care will need to be taken after rain as country dirt roads can become impassable.
Care also needs to be taken with the native wildlife, kangaroos, wombats, and snakes all live on the trail.
Please replace all caches as hidden and enjoy your time on the trail.
