Geocache Description:

Four-letter words

Damn Freddo’s Up the Numbered Creek cache series.

Our forefathers could be pretty boring people when they really tried. Having named the things they found after themselves, their wives, their children, their patrons, their monarchs, feast days and the remaining days of the week, they then started on the look of the natural features. Brown Hill, Green Hill, Black Hill, Red Hill, Mount Lofty. If all else failed they then fell back to numbers.

Fourth Creek flows from Marble Hill to Felixstow. There are some very original caches along this stretch of water. The worst is of course, White. Stop my brain is hurting.

The Kaurna people are recognized as the original inhabitants and custodians of the Adelaide plains. Fourth Creek flows through land occupied by the Kauwandilla local group. Extended families of Kauwandilla followed seasonal trails along the creek. Resources of the area included wallaby, possum, kangaroo, bandicoot, reptiles, yabbies, bird life, river red gum, golden wattle, needlewood and yacca.

The location of the Fourth Creek cache is in a small park being redeveloped after massive floods in early November 2005. The Fourth Creek Catchment Group Inc and Campbelltown council are justifiably proud of the Fourth Creek walkway.

Australians seem to be in need of some more creative natural feature naming. In your logs we would ask you to come up with an improved name for the creek.

This cache is one of Damn Freddo’s Up the Numbered Creek cache series. Collect the supplementary accompanying clues to find the final cache in the series, The End Of The Matter. Solve the code and visit the final location. The supplementary accompanying clue for this cache is attached approximately ten metres east of the cache location.
