Gallery of log for Badger Head Animal Trail #2

10-Jul-17
After taking some photos of the coast line from our elevated vantage point we headed off to number two in this series.

The path began to rise as we headed west and we soon found ourselves climbing up a very steep section of track. The view down to the beach today was spectacular as the waves were rolling in to the shore and the water was glistening in the bright winter sunshine. The stiff sea breeze was, however, some what chilly and we were thankful that we were wearing warm coats. Neither of us had been on this track for a very long time so we were enjoying the view and the vegetation as we walked along.

We enjoyed walking through the treed area with blackwood leaves, bark and she-oak needles forming a soft pad under our feet. There were several types of honey eater feasting on the honey from the last banksia flowers on the many small banksias on either side of the track.

The GPS beep indicating we had arrived in the vicinity of GZ for the second cache in the series frightened a small wallaby that bounded away from the near by scrub.

GPS read 1m and we soon had the cache container in hand. It would appear that the animal guardian of this cache had been paddling or swimming in a near by puddle as the log was damp but still usable. We replaced the cache and guardian so we hope they will stay dry. We almost forgot to check for a clue but hadn't moved too far along the track so a quick return, check and on our way again.

Thanks for this cache in the series Sirius Tas. We appreciated the trouble you had gone to in produce cache containers fitting your theme. We particularly liked this one.
