Gallery of log for Rosebank Recreational Reserve
After finding the traditional cache up the road a bit, I made my way to Rosebank Recreational Reserve. I’ve never been up this road, or to this reserve – so I was a bit excited to see something new so close to home.
I had a printout of the information with me – I’m a bit old school like that, and after reading the information at the listed coordinates I had a set of coordinates so off I went.
I took a slow stroll, checking the place out, with my eye open to try an earn some bonus point. What a nice place – even though the Camphor Laurels dominate the forest, it’s still an amazing spot. As I was walking along, I wondered if they were as detrimental to the ecosystem as people think.
It wasn’t long and I made my way to the co-ordinates I had calculated. I may have made this more complicated for myself that necessary – but that’s the usual way with geocaching. I was treated with another amazing container at GZ, and a very picturesque and tranquil spot. I signed the log then eyeballed the creek for platypi. None today.
The unexpected treasures I found at Rosebank Reserve today were the thought that the kids from the local school get to come down here as part of class, my growing appreciation for Camphor Laurels and the environment they create underneath them and of course the cache container and how well it fit into the environment at GZ.
Treasures also come in different colours:
RED: The fallen flowers from the single flame tree I found out there.
YELLOW: The wet buds of a tree who’s name I do not know. Also the colour of the Canna Lilly flowers that were beside where I parked my car
ORANGE: The burnt orange colour of the leaves on the forest floor.
PURPLE: Even the flower on weeds can look good close up.
GREY: The mixture of the blackness of the water and the white bubbles in the creek.
GREEN: It looked even brighter since the rains started here this week.
Unfortunately, I couldn’t find a ripe raspberry to eat, but found plenty of places that they grow. Awesome cache, this one shouldn’t be missed! Glad it was listed on GCA rather than the less interesting site too.
