Description

Lake Gwelup Reserve, a 73-hectare multi-purpose reserve located in the suburb of Gwelup, is an area popular for bird watching, bush walking and a range of other outdoor activities. Once connected to a chain of swamps and lakes to the north of the Perth CBD, Lake Gwelup played an integral part in the development of the area, and remains as an important recreational and ecological feature today. Known as a place of cultural significance for Nyoongar people, the name Lake Gwelup could be derived from the Aboriginal word “Gwelgannow”, meaning ‘to shift position’, or the Aboriginal name ‘Kwilup’ which is the place of the ‘Kwilim bird’ or ‘Coot'.

A stormy and wet day stomping about the lake. But hey, at least my GPS is waterproof!
DNF, despite looking along the paths for a while....
Will have to try again when it's sunnier. Smile

I enjoyed solving this puzzle today and then took the better half out for a drive to do this one and the new night cache and some of the other GCA caches in the area that I had not done. Took a while to find the container but we did in the end. Log signed and cache returned as found.

Thanks dezzabills for the puzzle and cache.
