Beeliar Woodlands Walks - Tuart
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 SOUTH 32 05.X EAST 115 47.Y
Question One) There is a picture of a Carnaby's Cocktaoo on the sign, calculate the digital root of the name of the tree it is perched on (two words combined). This will be a three digit number. Consider the whole number as A.
Question Two) There is a picture of a tuart tree on the sign, calculate the digital root of the two words (combined) that make up its scientific name. This will be a three digit number. Consider the whole number as B.
Cache Information
This cache is a 1L clip lock container. The cache included swaps at the time of placement and there is room for trackables to be dropped in this cache.
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).
Tuart Information
With the Indian Ocean to the west and the Beeliar wetlands to the east, this place is a crossroads in time and nature. Although not obvious from the road, the thriving bushland is atop a Tamala limestone ridge. Tuarts occur on the calcareous soils of the Spearwood dune systems and this ridge is itself a crossover to the mixed Spearwood/Bassendean soil complexes moving down the corridor. The tree layer consists of the limestone-loving tuarts along with banksia, jarrah and marri. Occasional kwell (sheoak) and moodjar (Christmas tree) provide unusual tree variety in the canopy.
