Description
Le Geographe 1829
Hidden as Part of the GeoArt games.
The year 1829 was a very important part of Western Australia's History, the establishment of the Perth Colony at the base of Elizabeth Hill, on the banks of the Swan River.
This Series of GeoArt Caches are in the shape of the Ship, they will tell you the story of Baudin as he leaves his Homeland.
There is a lot of local history as you meander around the Lower South West of WA, shipwrecks, stories, artifacts, and several original homesteads to pursue.
As History goes, this story started in the early 1800's.
It is a series of caches which traverse along the Busselton Bike Path, showcasing the wonderful Geographe Bay.
Let the Historical Journey continue...
Three months later, Le Geographe sailed for France under the command of Pierre Milius, arriving home on 23 March 1804 with a cargo of live animals and birds, and collected specimens.
To be continued...
