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.

Perseverance

Unfortunately it's impossible to locate the geoart any closer to the Tracking Station as the closer you get the less you see.

Ever wondered why this is called Hawthorn Drive? There are hawthorns everywhere... take care to keep away from them. You are looking for a largish small jar painted black containing log, pencil and pen.

Congratulations No_Tomorrow - FTF

Sorry to previous searchers, the cache was missing. Replaced with a larger container at a slightly different location.

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.

thanks. Smile

Seems like if you want your road upgraded, put out a trail of caches. Rolling Eyes

Replaced the cache in a new location after the original was demolished.

Unlike our earlier DNF in this series, this one seems to have suffered at the bulldozer's blade with roadworks in the area leaving the remnants of the hint and some piles of dirt and not much else but the prospect of pick and shovel to perhaps reveal the cache Stabby

Liked the hint on this, unfortunately though it didn't really help us as it looks like a bulldozer has been along that side of the road and flatten everything in it's wake. We did see the remains of a tree, but apart from a lot of dirt, that was it. Sometimes your luck is in, sometimes it's not. Wasn't on our side today.

Thanks anyway geono....still enjoying the country side.
