Description

Easy cache especially for the traveller

Cache is a black cylinder 19 cm long by 6 cm in diameter.

Contains gold kangaroo pin for FTF. Also contains log book,

pens, kangaroo, platypus, crocodile, car, barny rubble and

a tin soldier.

You can drive right to the cache hide. If you are a traveller,

this might be a welcome break just off the highway.

Cheers, Journeyman53.

#GA5609 - 16:05; Day seven of the Townsville Mega adventure with Sol de lune. After a night in Nebo, we decided to press on to Townsville today. Polished off quite a few more in a GC series, then headed north with the occasional caching stop. After collecting another of the CO's caches further south, we stopped off to collect this one. It was in much better condition than the earlier find and we added our names to this one too as we passed by. TFTC Journeyman53 Very HappyClan Cerberus

Didn't find many caches in Bowen but this quick and easy cache with big parking was the perfect one for travellers. A good hide for keeping a cache safe, it was in great condition. TFTC Journeyman53.

While staying near Proserpine we headed back to Bowen to try for some of the local caches without the van in tow.

We saw this GCA cache hadn't been found for a couple of years and were delighted to find it in clean, dry condition.

Many thanks for the hide Journeyman53 ClappingDancing

Can't believe how long since this one has been found. You can drive to within a metre of it and you are totally hidden from view for the find. While we were there the booms came down and a train passed. A nice solid container. Thanks.

Headed out with friends to fill up and picked this one up as we waited for them. Kids were too busy watching a DVD to get out of the car.
GeoDad spied it first.

I am not sure how I missed logging this one, but I am sure I found it on my way to Brisbane in July.
If a finder doesn't see my name in the log, let me know and I will retract the find, but I am 99% confident. I remember it well.

The holiday is nearly over, and we're driving back to Sydney for work and school on Monday. A quick stop to find this cache on the way through.
TNLNSL, thanks for the cache!
best wishes,
Wal, Juls & Beth

*FTF* Found on a Ulysses Ride to Bowen for lunch! Had a quick look where I thought it should be on the way past and then went in on the way home. The co-ordinates appear rather strange and said I was 147 km away, however with a bit of deduction and a lot of luck I was able to sign a First to Find on a GCA Cache. TNLN. TFTC.
