APASELA

A series with a mix of danger and fun!

APASNA - Danger (Russian pronunciation)

VESELA - Fun (Russian pronunciation)

The real cockatoo island!

Nestled near a busy road, there is a small park/island drawn out of the negative space by surrounding roads that offers a serene escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. Despite its diminutive size, this park boasts a beautiful tree that stands tall in the center of the green space. Its branches reach out, providing a canopy of shade and a home to a variety of birds.

As you enter the park, the sounds of chirping and cooing fill the air. Among the branches of the tree, you'll find colorful birds such as cockatoos, lorikeets, and pigeons. They fly and play, creating a beautiful symphony of color and sound. The vibrant plumage of the birds adds a splash of color to the serene greenery of the park.

The tree is a perfect spot to relax and enjoy the beauty of nature. The fresh air and calming atmosphere are quite nice on a hot afternoon witha stunning sunset background. It's an ideal location to sit down and enjoy a quiet moment with a book or to admire the birds.

Despite its location near a busy road, the small park provides a respite from the hustle and bustle of city life. With its beautiful tree and variety of birds, it's an ideal spot for nature lovers and those seeking a little bit of peace and quiet amidst the urban landscape. If you continue down the road a bit there is another place just outside the church that always boasts a flurry of birds!

The cache

The cache is decently simple to find but only if you can get the image and are good and light climber. The cache is a little piece of hollow wood cable tied to the tree above 4 meters off of the gound. YOU WILL NEED TWEEZERS TO GET THE LOG OUT AND YOU WILL NEED TO DO SO IN THE TREE. BE CAREFUL. To acquire said image to will need to solve our riddle, although this image is not required it will make the find significantly easier. Riddle: 

I'm a bird that loves to squawk and play,

My crest of feathers on my head will sway.

My colors are bright and full of delight,

In the trees I'll chatter and take flight.

Who am I?

(Take the answer (8 letters) and capitalise all of it but decapitalise the first letter and put it at the end of a bit.ly/)
