Geocache Description:


WATER FAIRIES

 

Every body of water, from the smallest stream to the vast ocean, has its own protective fairy, living below the surface. 

Water has often been considered to be a living thing, or certainly to have the power of sustaining, bestowing and even restoring life- as well as being capable of taking it. Every ancient society honoured springs, wells, and water sources as sacred. The Celts and others sacrificed treasure to lake and river spirits. Rivers were worshiped by the Druids and were believed to each have their resident water spirits that required sacrifices to be made to them.

The Warby Range is full of winter and spring time water courses, and if you go exploring after a good drop of rain you might get lucky to find a few of the magical little waterfalls as they come to life. The approach to GZ is steep and slippery so please take care, particularly in wet weather. 


IMPORTANT NOTICE: Phytophthora cinnamomi, also known as cinnamon fungus, is a serious plant disease that destroys many native plants. It is present in the Warby Range section of the park. To help prevent the spread of the disease, avoid walking and driving in wet areas. Clean camping gear and boots (recommended cleaner: 1 part bleach, 3 part water) before leaving the site. For further information on Phytophthora visit www.parks.vic.gov.au
