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.
Sixth Creek flows from behind Uraidla, past Brothers in Arms and
Blockers Ditch, to Castambul. This is the wildest and least altered
of the numbered creeks. Sixth Creek flows through extensive
reserves, farming land and some very rugged country.
The catchment is considered unique as it has more than 40% of
the original native vegetation remaining, compared with an average
7% for the entire Mount Lofty Ranges. This is mainly due to the
steep and inaccessible nature of the terrain. A number of
threatened animal and plant species have been found in the
catchment.
Sixth Creek has its own web site.

The cache location is frequented by fly fishermen. Lovely to
think that there are good fish in these streams. Several years ago
we tried to find Paul’s Sixth Mission at the cache location on a
whim and a guess. Wrong.
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.
