Beeliar Woodlands Walks - Djara
Series Information
The Beeliar Woodlands Walk series has seven multi caches and a bonus final mystery cache. Each of the seven multi caches has a clue inside the container that is required to calculate the coordinates for the bonus final mystery cache. The bonus final cache is located at the Hamilton Hill end of the series.
Cache Information
Instructions
This cache is not located at the posted coordinates. The posted coordinates will lead you to an information sign where you can locate the required information to answer the following questions. Substitute your answers into the coordinates below.
The cache can be located at S32 05.ABC E115 49.DEF.
Question One) The first quote on the sign has two numbers. Consider the two numbers GH.
Question Two) The sign references a tree-sit. How many days long was this? Consider this number in digits as JK.
Question Three) The sign references a year in the right hand column of text. Consider this year LMNP.
- A = H
- B = L
- C = P
- D = J + L
- E = G - J - N
- F = K
Cache Information

Please ensure that you replace the cache as found and bring your own pen to sign the log.
Trail Information
The Beeliar Woodlands Walks Trail is 4.5km in length. It is an east-west bush corridor which travels between Bibra Drive (Bibra Lake) in the east and Stock Road (Hamilton Hill) in the west along the alignment of the former Roe 8 road reservation corridor. Most of the trail has a limestone path meandering through the bush, with corten steel signs giving way finding and interpretive information. There are seven distinct ecological communities in the corridor, which means a very high diversity of flora and fauna can be viewed along the trail.
Please note that the eastern side of the trail between Bibra Drive and Hope Road (where the Bibool cache is located) is seasonally inundated and may not be trafficable for part of the year (roughly June to October).
Biyara Information
Walliabup (Bibra Lake) can easily be seen from the rising hillside where jarrah trees begin to populate the sandy soil and banksias are more prevalent. Being so close to roads and the vicinity of former dairy farms, bushland species must compete with introduced and feral species and the impact of historic rubbish dumping. However, rainbow bee-eaters are small, migratory, insect eating birds with rainbow plumage that take advantage of the disturbed sandy soil to nest in burrows in the ground. Close to the lake and with abundant native vegetation, insects are plentiful and bee-eaters have the uncleared jarrah and marri trees in which to take cover. Watching them emerge from their burrows is to witness an explosion of colour and movement. In 2023 ten species of native bees were recorded in the corridor.
