Description

Marbling Brook Confluence

The Marbling Brook's confluence with the Brockman River is just below this bridge. When I placed the cache in late August, there was a good flow of water here, with evidence that it gets much higher on occaision. So I got to wondering whether Marbling Brook flows all year round. A quick google search answered my question: 

"Marbling Brook is a perennial fresh waterway while Brockman River is brackish, turning saline in summer. Marbling Brook provides fresh water flow to the lower Brockman during summer which is important for the water users and environment as it prevents the river becoming too saline."

Source: Setting allocation limits for Brockman River and Marbling Brook Water Resource Allocation and Planning series Report no. 44 

The cache is a bison tube. You need to get down below the road level to find it.

Please ensure that both the cache and the camo object are secure when rehiding.

If a previous finder could check this when in the area, it would be much appreciated. I can't maintain the cache at present.

Hi there firnsy - I looked for this cache on 20-08-2022 at around 11:32 but I'm sad to say that after a lengthy search - I failed. The brrok looks to have had new railings recently so the cache may have gone.
