Hello Whitepaws9 thanks for the cache

Hello Whitepaws9 thanks for the cache.

I was out and about caching on the Tasman Peninsula and I spotted this 2D steel cut out of a horse behind it is an old plough added for looks. I don’t know what the business is but they obviously do a bit of steel cutting. If you look carefully you can see other cut outs attached to the shed. There is another one of a horse and one of a lady with its relief next to it as well there is a relief of one of a man at the other end of the shed.
I’m not sure if this part of the Taranna Cottages, the next time I’m going past I should call in and have a look as I do like a decent work shop and I believe there is a museum there as well.

REGENT STREET
JUNEE, NSW

Making my way to a caching event in Junee recently I came across this artwork of Ben Martin. Apparently, the park where this artwork is located is called Ben Martin Park and it was dedicated to him on 3 October 1999. Apparently, Ben was an employee of Illabo Shire and Junee Shire Council for 40 years with his dedication and commitment to his work recognised by his fellow workmates who volunteered their time to build and landscape this park.

What a lovely tribute.

Pulley: Kempton Northern Exit, Apsley Railway Line
This line was one of a group of lines in the south of Tasmania approved for construction in the early 1880s to complement the then privately owned Main Line. Construction commenced in 1888, and the line was officially opened for traffic by the Tasmanian Government Railway on April 22 1891.
This ‘2D Metal’ of the railway workers is by local artists Folko Kooper and Maureen Craig. TFTLC

Sunflowers

We saw this 2D metal sculpture of sunflowers while caching in Toowoomba last weekend.

Apparently the tall structure symbolises the heights that can be achieved through quality education and is dedicated to Toowoomba's top quality schools and tertiary education precincts.

Driving home on the Chinchilla Kingaroy Qld road and drove past this very well maintained property entrance. I just had to do a U turn and come back for a photo. As I got out of the car the farmer was coming along the road and was opening the gate. He explained to me that his aim is to put another 5 out there but he is having trouble buying them from e bay so he is going to make his own.

Nope, I'm not referring to the ginormous life-sized gorilla!

Unfortunately, that's really, really 3D and probably not made of metal.

But it's hard to take your eyes off the hairy guy and look up towards the ceiling.

I had some trouble focusing with my iPhone with so many muggles around.

I discovered this very shallow fellow standing outside the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery in Hobart. I believe he is part of an "Artbikes" program where you can borrow bicycles for transport between art-related places in the Hobart area.

These lovely little fellows are in Apex park in Townsville. You can see the peaceful Ross River in the backgound, along which there is a power trail of caches. Apex Park has been recently redesigned and there are some interesting metal sculptures here.

WanderingAus wandered by on the way to Esperance via Wave Rock with the WanderingMrs and our three oldest grandchildren, accompanied by our son, his wife, and our two youngest grandchildren. After setting up in the caravan park the kids all went to play in the playground, so I took a walk over to the wave (for the fourth time in my life) to get the answers for the Earthcache GC2BGEE Wave rock By davonchi, then took a walk to the Hippo's Yawn to stretch my legs. On the way I noticed these two dimensional kangaroos on the outside of a toilet block that wasn't there last time I visited Wave Rock on 22 Feb 2009, when I found GCGZG8 Wave Rock 2 By wakiwi, which is situated only twenty or thirty metres from Hippo's Yawn.



I've seen quite a few two dimensional structures since this cache was published, including camels at Norseman WA, but Wave Rock is an iconic spot which gets fewer visitors, so I decided this would be my one claim.

Was going to Cobar and White Cliffs just to cache and camp and try out the new Ute fridge. Went thru Gilgandra as this is where She who must be Obeyeds grandfather came from. I have been thru here several times now and now I can share this memorial to the geochacers about the blokes that left home and marched to Sydney to go to defend their part in the Empire.
Thanks Acko

was wending my way out to White Cliffs and whilst passing thru Nyngan went into town for a coffee and sanga and saw this beautiful sculpture.
Thanks for the great idea for a cache.

Jack Badcock Memorial, Westbury, Tasmania
Jack Badcock is a local hero of Westbury, being born at the nearby area of Exton. An outstanding junior cricketer, he played his first game for Tasmania in 1929 at the age of 15. After nineteen games for Tasmania he transferred to South Australia, his highest Sheffield Shield score being 325 against Victoria in 1936. He was selected to play for Australia and became the first Tasmanian to score a test century, 118 against England at the MCG in 1937. He was selected for the Ashes Tour of England in 1938 with Don Bradman and had considerable success. The silhouette is of the punishing right-hand batsman launching into a trademark hook stroke.

One of my favourite Wellington artworks - Cathryn Monro's Per Capita.

Saw these guys in Gordon, ACT.


Such a shame some idiot's graffitied them.

They've always amused me as i've driven past

Love this 2D structure of a trooper taking a drunk home in a wheelbarrow. Located just near the Melton Mowbray pub.

This is at the entrance to the Aboriginal Rock carvings on the Basin Track at West Head. Rather an appropriate 2D structure I thought!

362. After heading out and about on Mulligans Flat today - and completely missing this on the way in - I noticed that the entrance sign is rusted metal as is in vogue these days (or so I'm led to believe knowing nothing about fashion). Took the shot and here tis.

These metal cutouts are located either side of the township of Corryong. Corryong is a lovely small country town in the foothills of the highest peaks of Australia, on the High Country of Victoria. Corryong is close to the NSW border and the head waters of the mighty Murray River.

Corryong is the gateway to the NSW snowfields and the resort towns of Thredbo, Jindabyne and Perisher Valley, via the stunning scenic drive along the Alpine Way.

The area surrounding Corryong area is timber forestry and dairy farming country. Corryong acts as a service centre for these farms.

This statue is called "Stand and Deliver" and is situated on the Midlands Highway, south of Oatlands in Tasmania. A cache is siyuated nearby. Other similar "2Ds" are scattered along the highway between Hobart and Launceston. TFTC and cheers; Oldsaint.

Looked at all the locationless caches in search for all the ones that me and farmer--brown could do in Cobar.

This is the Cobar sign as you come into Cobar from Nyngan, it is on the Barrier High way and it is on the slag hill behind the museum. a good place to go if you want to learn about the history of Cobar.

Went to the cache called Castle Hill Heritage - GC1P8TA.

Spotting the 2D so would like to share with you about history so see below. Thanks Alchemy2.

Heritage Park Drive, Castle Hill
The park’s features include concrete walking tracks, picnic areas, playground and public toilets in a heritage-listed site within a bushland setting. The majority of the reserve is accessible for people with disabilities.

With its 20 hectares of rolling landscaped hills and remnant Blue Gum forest, Heritage Park is a great location for family picnicking, walking and learning about nature. It is the birthplace of Castle Hill.

The main walking track has educational signs that follow a timeline history of the land from the use by the Dharug people, through establishment of the convict farm, church glebe, lunatic asylum, orchards and small farm holdings.

Home to the critically endangered ecological community Blue Gum High Forest, Castle Hill Heritage Park is one of the largest remaining stands of Blue Gum High Forest reserved in the world. The threatened species Powerful Owl is known to use Castle Hill Heritage Park for hunting.

The Old Beechy Rail Trail follows one of the state's former narrow gauge railway lines through an area of scenic forest, rich farmland and rolling hills. There is the old Gellibrand station nearby that has old photos and information inside. The line opened in 1902 and ran south 48 kms from Colac to Beech Forest. In 1911 the railway was extended 22 kms west to Crowes. The 2d structure shown here shows the climb the line took.
