Flanshaw's Treasure Island ...Henderson Creek Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

supernannny: Came here to check today as the track is no longer fenced off.
Sadly the area has been destroyed in the last few floods .....and is now a mess of broken trees and silt .

No sign of the geocache.
So it is time to archive...
Thanks to those who visited.

Geocache Description:


Noticed this lovely " Gateway " while out walking recently on the walkway by Henderson Creek. 

So did a bit of research. 

Back in 2010 some students from Flanshaw Road School along with Project Twin Streams and the local Council did some work in this patch of scrub.....clearing , weeding and replanting.  

In 2012 the beautifully decorated Gateway to the " Island " was blessed and unveiled! 

I decided a geocache would be the finishing touch ! 

...Oh and sorry to disappoint you ..... it is not actually an island .

Beware if with young children as at full tide the water can be near the wee track . Also don't trip over the flax leaves as you manouvre the track.

Happy Hunting....

For a short walk try and park in Blethyn Place ...If you have more time you may enjoy a much longer walk ...
