Laurel Avenue - Lismore NSW

Found this one as part of the Cacheopoly summer game. Didn't take too long to find a local street with a botanical name. Thanks Azazzlenic!

Applegum Place, Mt. Riverview.
A street in our area.

We have a variety of different vines growing in our garden including passionfruit, grapes, kiwi fruit and Happy Wanderer to name a few. My photo is of Vine Street in Nagambie.

We didn't have to go far to find this sign post. It is in the resort where we live. TFTC

Wattle.

Inspired by GA7102, Locationless by 12, I decided to try for 12 in 12...minutes. I dragged Gangstella along to do the camera work and navigate so I could drive safely... and our two dogs. Instead of logging a photo here, I have a video link instead. It is shaky, blurry, over and underexposed, but it does the job...just.

As you will see we had fun finding them all and the dogs loved the end of it all.
Thanks

Thanks azazzlenic

I've been meaning to 'grab' this one for a while as there are several plant related street signs that I pass on my normal way to work. It was such a nice morning that I stopped by for the find at 09:20.

My entry, the Sugar Gum (Eucalyptus cladocalyx), can be seen in Viewbank, Victoria at the headline coordinates although Wikipedia indicates that the actual plant is a eucalypt from South Australia and is found naturally in three distinct populations - in the Flinders Ranges, Eyre Peninsula and on Kangaroo Island.

Thanks azazzlenic.

Spotted recently in an area where all the streets are named after plants

Norlane, a suburb of Geelong, has an estate where all the streets are named after flowers. We have uploaded a photo of one of us at the street sign for Wisteria Grove as evidence for us meeting the requirements of this cache. Thanks for the cache.

I was walking towards a street with "Fern" in it's name to claim the find when I found "Melaleuca Cresent" before I reached my destination.

Possibly the easiest cache I've ever logged lol. Kingston is all plant name streets and this one is right outside my window . Thanks for the cache

Was travelling to some caches in Cairns today when we came across a suburb full of street signs with plant names. This one was chosen and was found at S16 56.194 E145 44.081. At the time we were heading towards the GCA cache Ah Ching GA1956. Thanks.

Driving into Townsville doing a bit of caching when we came across this sign at S19 16.350 E146 48.885. Thanks.

Out doing some detective work for the Cluedo series of caches, I spotted this street sign and stopped to get a photo of it for this locationless. Looking at the map to get the coordinates, I see that I wasn't very observant as there are many others in this area! I do particularly like sundews though and have grown some myself over the years

Oleander Street is located in an estate on the Western edge of Nanango Qld. All four streets in this estate have plant names. the estate stood idle for about 6years after development before a local builder starter with Spec Homes and the area is now almost fully developed with over 50 homes. The plant known as the Oleander is correctly the Nerium Oleander. It is an evergreen shrub or small tree in the dogbane family Apocynaceae, toxic in all its parts. It is the only species currently classified in the genus Nerium.

Fern Avenue is a rather steep street in the seaside town of Lorne VIC.

I walk past it everytime i'm on holidays.

Here's a bit of info from Wiki if anyone is interested;

A fern is any one of a group of about 12,000 species of plants belonging to the botanical group known as Pteridophyta.[3] Unlike mosses, they have xylem and phloem (making them vascular plants). They have stems, leaves, and roots like other vascular plants. Ferns reproduce via spores and have neither seeds nor flowers.
By far the largest group of ferns is the leptosporangiate ferns, but ferns as defined here (also called monilophytes) include horsetails, whisk ferns, marattioid ferns, and ophioglossoid ferns. The term pteridophyte also refers to ferns and a few other seedless vascular plants (see classification section below).
Ferns first appear in the fossil record 360 million years ago in the Carboniferous but many of the current families and species did not appear until roughly 145 million years ago in the early Cretaceous (after flowering plants came to dominate many environments).
Ferns are not of major economic importance, but some are grown or gathered for food, as ornamental plants, for remediating contaminated soils, and have been the subject of research for their ability to remove some chemical pollutants from the air. Some are significant weeds. They also play a role in mythology, medicine, and art.

Tea-tree road, I had my eyes peeled as I drove back to Hobart, and finally I spotted one! There are so many locationless caches, but I always forget to look out for relevant things. Success today, though. Thanks.

Waratah Street
Katoomba, NSW

I looked around the area for more streets with plant names, but found fewer than I expected. This is the only one in Katoomba and Leura I could locate that had the name of a flower. Maybe I missed one or two, but in any case, what better plant name than the beautiful Waratah, state flower of NSW!

Thought this was a rather quaint name.

This name (including the plant/tree 'pine') commemorates a famous and tragic battle during WWI, where many soldiers were killed . . . including some from the Leura area.
