Tamworth Wetlands Wander 2 1/2
I didnt think I would fit a cache in between 2.1 & 3 but I was wrong. Hence the name.
Tamworth Hill Swamp Tamworth Hill Swamp is a freshwater sumpland situated in the Stakehill suite of wetlands. The wetland is subject to a number of protection mechanisms, including:
• Inclusion in the Rockingham Lakes Regional Park management boundary;

Its a nice wander on this path, great for the kids and the dogs (on a lead)
To get to this cache, head off past 2.1, and you will see a clearing about 20 metres prior to the cache, This cache is hanging in a tree on the old path which you can still see for Google satelite view. Please replace as found
