Drip and Drop “Amongst the Hill” Top Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

ElectronicallyE: This is the second of two caches I’m removing from the game. Unfortunately this one has been victim to a decent cross threading job with required a vice to undo.

Given the container is stuffed and with a few other things taking my focus, I’m retiring this one.

Regardless, thank you all for your logs and to the last few finders of adding a temporary log at the base of the sprinkler (there you go, I gave the secret away)!

Geocache Description:


This geocache is tucked away near the corner of Bundaleer Place and Cobbler Drive.

 

The name "Bundaleer" is derived from an Aboriginal term meaning "amongst the hills" [Source 1, 2, 3, 4]. Cobbler Drive refers to Cobbler Creek, located south of the Spring Hill estate. The creek takes its name from William Pedler, a cobbler who once lived downstream [Source 5].

 

Don’t confuse this with Slate Creek, which lies at the base of the hill where this cache hides. Be sure not to drop into it! Slate Creek eventually feeds into Cobbler Creek. Clear as mud, right? Especially when there’s a sprinkle of water involved!

 

You’re searching for a cache just a bit smaller than a 250 ml Coke can. [Image source: 6]

Happy hunting!
