Description

This is one of a series of 5 Traditional caches designed to lead you on a walk around the Townsville V8 track.

In July each year Townsville hosts a round of the V8 Supercar Championship on our own purpose built track. Located just south of the CBD, the circuit winds its way through Reid Park where specially constructed roads form approximately 70 percent of the 2.86km circuit. Set in a parkland around the Station, Civic Theatre and Townsville State High School the circuit proved to be a challenge for the drivers and popular with the fans. For the rest of the year the facilities provide and entertainment precinct, driver training and outdoor exercise areas. Keep in mind that there are two major roads included in the circuit so you will need to be careful from both safety and muggle perspectives.

This is a nano so you will need to bring your own pencil. For those who are vertically challanged, you may need a little boost. Look out for lots of junior muggles.

Congratulations Champs2Monkeys FTF

Caching in the area, we looked and failed to find this cache.

We have replaced the cache with a magnetic bison as per hint, head height, to keep it in play as the CO is no longer active.

Our first GCA cache in quite some time. Found it in about the third place we looked with the find going to geoD. Not often he gets to find these one as geoP usually zeros in on them first. Shocked

Had a wonder around the playground, we certainly didn't have these growing up!

After another look for this cache today, happy to say I found it. I had been looking in the right place on my previous visit, but just didn't pinpoint the correct hidy-hole.

North Qld 2013. There were a few people about packing up, but I was able to get to his one without any issues. Nice spot. Thanks

A quick find but a little hard to extract from its hidey hole. A great spot and so appropriately placed. Makes me wish I was a bit [well a lot really] younger. Thanks.

First time the family has been geocaching. Fairly easy find if you understand the size. Fun

Sad to see my old soccer field obliterated Sad

but I guess this brings in a lot more tourist dollars! Too hot to play on pit lane for all but the craziest today Wink

so we soon found the tiny monster. Thanks Smile

About an hour out of town on our way back from a weekend in Cairns, the phone started to chirp, and it was not our usual cache publication notification. Never seen a new GCA cache here before.

Dropped of Grandma and went straight to the track. Easy find for us and we enjoyed the visit.

Oh, and FTF.... TNLN, TFTC
