Buttamurragal Meander Mystery Cache

Take a walk along the Parramatta River and learn about the region and the Buttamurragal clan.

This multicache begins at the start of the Riverside Trail, which runs along the northside of the Parramatta River. The 800 metre path features the work of Aboriginal artist Jamie Eastwood and depicts Aboriginal history from the early beginnings to the arrival of the First Fleet and beyond. Each colour represents a chapter and interpretive signs explain history.

To find the cache you must take a stroll along the Riverside Trail, stopping at each board and reading the information to answer the following questions.

The questions may not correspond with the order of the boards and some boards have no question associated with them. The aim of this cache is to encourage you to read all the boards and learn about the region's history.

Note, you only need to record the digits represented by the letters A though to H - ignore x.
