Description

I've Cached Everywhere, Man Geocaching Australia (GCA) Geocache Series.

ICEM

I've Cached Everywhere, Man is the largest cache series hidden in Australia. It is made up of the locations made famous by Lucky Star in the song "I've been everywhere" in 1962, lyrics by Geoff Mack.

It would appear that "I haven't exactly been everywhere" and so verses 5, 6 and 7 have been added by hookline and Trigg-A-Nomics to cover Western Australia, South Australia, Northern Territory and Tasmania. Verses 8, 9 and 10 added by geono. Daisy Hill is mentioned in GCA Verse 8.

-----

Daisy Hill is a suburb in the City of Logan, Queensland. One of its main features is a beautiful parkland and the Koala Centre.

The bushland area in Daisy Hill is an important koala habitat, with exactly the right conditions to support a thriving community. Fittingly, Daisy Hill is home to an educational Koala Centre.

At the Koala Centre, you can see koalas up close and learn all about these unique Australian marsupials. Wander through the Centre and learn all about the fascinating life cycle of the Koala and how they've adapted to the changing Australian environment. During the school holidays, the Centre also offers ranger-led activities. The Koala Centre is part of the Daisy Hill Conservation Park, protecting an area of eucalypt forest and paperbark wetlands.

Signposted walking tracks take visitors through the scenic area with exceptional mountain-bike trails and horse riding allowed. The Park is home to a community of approximately 130 koalas, so if you're lucky and you stay alert, you just might see one of these cute koalas in the wild.

The Park is also a great place for breakfast or lunch, with sheltered picnic areas provided. There is a great selection of accommodation to be found at nearby Springwood.

The geocache is hidden inside Daisy Hill Conservation Park close to the Tree Discovery Trail.
