Come for a walk and enjoy the Dinosaur Trail

 

This cache is named after Styracosaurus


>
The Styracosaurus meaning "spiked lizard" was a genus of herbivorous ceratopsian dinosaur from the Cretaceous Period, about 76.5 to 75.0 million years ago. It had four to six long horns extending from its neck frill, a smaller horn on each of its cheeks, and a single horn protruding from its nose, which may have been up to 60 centimetres (2 ft) long and 15 centimetres (6 in) wide. The function or functions of the horns and frills have been debated for many years. Styracosaurus was a relatively large dinosaur, reaching lengths of 5.5 metres (18 ft) and weighing nearly 3 tons. It stood about 1.8 meters (6 ft) tall. Styracosaurus possessed four short legs and a bulky body. Its tail was rather short. The skull had a beak and shearing cheek teeth arranged in continuous dental batteries, suggesting that the animal sliced up plants. Like other ceratopsians, this dinosaur may have been a herd animal, traveling in large groups, as suggested by bonebeds.
Cache is located in Petrie Park and can be easily accessed via Price Street, Petrie Park Road, Hospital Road, Florence Street or Carter Road. 

Footbridges traverse the park and walking or bike-riding is a good way to see it. 

Dogs are allowed to run around leash-free on the playing field, but only when it is not in use. They must be on a leash in the rest of the park and on footbridges. 

Wildlife thrives in Petrie Park, so make occasional stops around the creek and watch out for some interesting native animals. Water dragons and fresh water turtles inhabit the creek and its surroundings. A one-way walk through the park takes fifteen to twenty minutes. There are rest areas in and around the park and there are also good spots to have a picnic.

A camoed clip lock container is what you seek. 

The cache contains a logbook only so please bring your own pen. 

Good luck and happy caching
