Description
I've Cached Everywhere, Man is the largest cache series hidden in Australia. It is made up of the locations made famous by Lucky Star in the song "I've been everywhere" in 1962, lyrics by Geoff Mack.
It would appear that "I haven't exactly been everywhere" and so verses 5, 6 and 7 have been added by hookline and Trigg-A-Nomics to cover Western Australia, South Australia, Northern Territory and Tasmania. The community's grateful thanks go to those geocachers for helping to cover most of the populated (and less populated) parts of Australia.

GILLINGARRA, WESTERN AUSTRALIA
Well this is a tidy little town, but don't blink because you might drive past like we did. We had an idea of where this was, but it isn't quite where we thought. There are signs welcoming you to Gillingarra and the next thing you know you are being thanked for visiting! We have tried to find out where the name came from etc but no luck so far.
We have placed the cache near a conveniently placed parking/ rest area suitable for trailers/ caravans. There is a school, post office, tennis courts and Volunteer Fire Brigade nearby the parking area.
The cache is beside the railway line and you will spot the obvious GZ... Cache is an ammo box with swaps. Please recover when you leave.

Chwiliwr was first to find on this cache back in 2011 and today brought me up here from the trig so I could find it as well.
Thanks FelixII for the cache.
A quick find was made of a well maintained cache. This cache container is definitely our favourite hide type.
A long time since we've done an ICEM cache and the first during this trip to the 'big island'.
Hi FelixII and thanks for the cache.
A nice easy find here though a bit hard to grab the cache with so many ants around (could have been due to the approaching rain a couple of days later). The cache was all good.
