Description
With the Perseverance rover's successul landing on Mars on 18th February 2021, this geoart is themed to celebrate space exploration.
The geoart navigating pin points to the Uralla Satellite Tracking Station. Relocated from Guam, this is a critical component of a global network of earth station facilities used to control satellites through launch and transfer orbit to the satellites intended locations.
The Uralla facility is also essential in providing communications during a satellite's initial in-orbit testing.
Unfortunately it's impossible to locate the geoart any closer to the Tracking Station as the closer you get the less you see.
Congratulations Lucky L10n & Sol de lune - FTF

A very quick find while trying to avoid the eyes of passing cars. This is a very busy spot in the afternoon.

I wasn't intending on travelling this way this week but here I am. this geoart trail was the only reason I ended up down here. haha.
I have just downy the last couple of days wandering through waterfall country. so amazing! here the water was still falling but not down gorges like Wollomombi.
Thanks for this geoart trail. unfortunately, or maybe fortunately, my food has just arrived so I'm going to copy and paste my found logs which include a couple of FTFs I believe.

#GA5199 - 13:04; Day 11 of a road trip with Sol de lune for the CacheQLD - Dayboro Mega and we are now headed for home. After spending the night in Glen Innes, we headed south caching our way through Ben Lomond, Guyra and Armidale. After leaving Armidale, we headed for Uralla keen to collect this new series along a couple of the side roads. Enjoying the series and the country side as well as the odd *FTF* on the back country roads here. TFTC geono.

Almost to the end of the trail and this was a good quick. Went to the wrong end first, however the cache was spotted and it was still an easy retrieval once we moved around.
Thanks for the second to last one geono.
