Description

As Grong Grong is mentioned in the lyrics, I figured it was worth placing this here. I originally came here for the trig across the road, but could not spot it. I know I will be back for the trig, so...

I've Been Everywhere - Lucky Starr

Well, I was humpin’ my bluey
on the dusty Oodnadatta road
When along came a semi with a
high and canvas-covered load
“If you’re goin’ to Oodnadatta,
mate, um, with me you can ride.”
So I climbed in the cabin
and I settled down inside
He asked me if I’d seen a road
with so much dust and sand,
I said “Listen, mate, I’ve travelled
ev’ry road in this here land.”

Cos “I’ve been everywhere, man

I’ve been everywhere, man
‘Cross the deserts bare, man
I’ve breathed the mountain air, man
Of travel I’ve had my share, man
I’ve been ev’rywhere

We've always liked the idea of an Australia wide cache series that stretches across each Australian state and territory. Australia's ICEM series ICEM series fits the bill. We own more than 10 ICEM caches in Tasmania and always try and find them as we travel around. There are also GCAChallenge caches that encourage cachers to look for ICEM caches outside of their home states.

Thanks for this cache Alnic39. The coordinates were spot on and we soon found ourselves signing the log. We were very happy to be able to add another ICEM cache to our finds.

Driving from Hay to Wagga Wagga today and after doing the adventure lab in Narrandera we drove out to Grong Grong to look for this cache. A quick find in a quiet spot not far from the realigned highway. Now to find the road through to Coolamon. TFTC

Day 6 and the final day of the Wang Mega tour with Sol de lune. After an "interesting" time arranging accommodation in Narranderra, we were once again on the road, with home being our final destination today. Grabbed a couple of caches in town, then headed north to Grong Grong to grab this cache. After adding our names to the log, we also discovered that there was no service station left in the town, so we nursed the geomobile to Ganmain where fumes must have carried us to the bowser! TFTC alnic39 Very Happy

Sol de lune

Heading home from the Wang Mega with LuckyL10n after a side trip to Mildura and we stopped for this on our last day. No issues at all finding the cache and our names were soon in the log.

Thanks Alnic...always good to see a few more ICEM caches popping up around the place. Very Happy

*FTF* @ 1:16pm on 5 May 2021 Big Grin

With a free afternoon, I decided on heading out to Narrandera to find all the new caches which have popped up since the last time I was there which happened to be, August 2019. A little while ago. So to start with, I found the new cache in Grong Grong and this happened to become a FTF. Big Grin

This was a great spot to have a cache to find and now I can say that I am starting to '(I) Cache Everywhere Man'. Big Grin

Next it was time for lunch and I decided on having Subway. You can't go wrong with a Footlong Pizza Sub with drink for $9.95. From there I headed off to find the new trig in town and then across to the cemetery for the new AL there. A great history lesson and 5 stars given. Big Grin

With these now found, it was time to head home but the question was which way. I decided on heading through Coolamon so I could pick up the two new caches out that way to add to my Big Grin

list. These two caches were quick finds and in great locations. TB visit. I would like to thank all CO's of the caches I found and for allowing them to bring me and the caching community enjoyment. TFTC's Big Grin
