Description
This cache is located in the beautiful Whiteman Park. I have driven past this little fenced area many times and i always wondered why it was fenced off. I parked next to it and could see the reason why. A Sheaok growing in the middle of what looks like the remains of a Marri tree. Quite incredible.
You are looking for a micro near by.

Logs
Out doing the orienteering course with our boys today, so thought I'd sneak in a couple of caches. My first day caching in quite a while, so I was happy to have a quick find here after reading previous logs. Thanks for the cache!
We were in the park for a Blue Switch day event and found this one by mistake looking for a nearby trad. It took a minute or two to work out that it is a GeoAust trad.

Out with the Chwiliwr and Gwawr.
Chwiliwr had looked for this one some time ago but didn't find it then but today it was a quick find. Log signed and cache returned as found.
Thanks Dezzabills for placing this cache for us to find.

Took quite awhile for GPS to settle under many trees, looked around for more obvious spot to hide a nano.
Thank you for the cache.
In Australia the most widely used common name for Casuarinaceae species is sheoak or she-oak (a comparison of the timber quality with English oak). Male specimens bear no fruit and are perhaps therefore colloquially referred to as sheoak.
Corymbia calophylla is a large and common tree in the southwest of Australia. Originally described as a species of Eucalyptus, it was separated to a genus allied with the bloodwoods and their relations. Corymbia calophylla is commonly known as marri, a name derived from the Noongar language of Southwest Australia region, in preference to the ambiguous red gum.

I've looked twice for this cache now but have not got a good ground zero either time making the search problematic.
Can it be confirmed that it is still there.

Woohoo *FTF* @ 8:30am.
Well that was unexpected. After not finding a nearby GC cache I spotted this one was close. Haven't looked at GCA caches for some time.
Quick find here. TFTC
