Geocache Description:

Tree cover makes for patchy reception at this spot. (Best I could get was down to 8m.)

The catchment of this creek is located on Brisbane's northern outskirts and has an area of approximately 45km². The catchment encompasses the suburbs of Shorncliffe, Deagon, Sandgate, Taigum, Zillmere, Fitzgibbon, Boondall, Aspley, Carseldine, Bracken Ridge, Bridgeman Downs and McDowall within Brisbane City, and Everton Hills, Arana Hills and Ferny Hills within the Pine Rivers Shire. Approximately 60,000 people live in this catchment and land use varies between residential, rural residential, natural bushland and wetlands, open space, residential, commercial and industrial areas.

Habitat loss and bushland modification due to development has drastically reduced the distribution of fauna across the catchment area. A view from days past of the creek crossing from just upstream from the cache can be found here - (visit link)

Rather than the common vegetable, the creek name is most likely related to prevalence of the palm Livistona australis which is widely distributed throughout lowland forest and swamps of eastern Australia.
