Description

Welcome to another of Dubbo's street art pieces.

There are two art works here, Breaker Morant by Ha Ha, and Ben Hall by Poncho Army. Both of these characters spent some time in the Western Plains district before being shot for different reasons and in different circumstances. Breaker Morant was executed by firing squad for war crimes (or was it to cover them up). Ben Hall the Bushranger was fataly wounded between Dubbo and Parkes by police in a shootout. Both of these characters have movies made about them. Ben Halls is yet to be released at the time of publihing this cache.

Access to this site is via Poplars Lane between the drive-thru coffee shop and the caravan park off Bultje St.

This is a virtual geocache - there is no physical geocache container to be found. Rather, to log a find for this virtual, you will need to take a photo of yourself or one of your team at this artwork and answer the question found in this listing. Being part of a street art series, I encourage you to be creative in the photo you take for this. I have placed one example in the gallery which you can copy if you can't come up with any fresh ideas.

If you like this virtual geocache, please give it a thumbs up with your comment.

Wow, two GCA caches at the one stop!!!
There were muggles on the verandah near GZ but we didn't feel foolish grabbing the required photo here.
Thanks.

#GA1645 - 15:11; Day 30 of the Alice Mega Road Trip with Sol de lune, albida33 and fitzy_1965. Today was a shorter run from Nyngan to Nevertire, Warren, Trangie, Narromine and on to Dubbo before heading to Parkes for the night. Sdl and I decided to spend the rest of the day in and around Dubbo and left our fellow cachers in Narromine. After picking up a few trigs around the outskirts, we were now headed into suburbia and picking up a few more caches, including a stack of virtuals. After collecting a nearby trad, wandered over to another interesting piece of art work to grab some more snaps. TFTC No_Tomorrow Very HappyClan Cerberus

Found with LuckyL10n while on the way home from our Alice Springs/Darwin road trip....

Scapegoats of the Empire....one of the books about 'The Breaker'. One of my favs. Neat likeness and cool to visit.

Walked and drove around town gathering the required photos and enjoyed most of the art works. Some were to my taste, some weren't, but then that's art isn't. Its about what we see...

Anyway, a neat way to spend a couple of hours, which included a lunch stop...so all good and thanks No_Tomorrow.

Staying in Dubbo today for a couple of days on our way to the Event in Alice Springs and spotted this series. Grabbed a couple more of them this morning and enjoyed the artwork showcased here.
