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 parklands around the Station, Civic Theatre and Townsville State High School, the track 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 your own pencil. Between driving muggles and fishing muggles you will need to be sneaky due to the high visability.

Congratulations Champs2Monkeys FTF

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

We have replaced the cache with an eclipse tin to keep it in play as the CO is no longer active.

For some reason I have never looked for these GCA caches around here even though I have 1000 GCA finds now. Anyway I stopped today and searched the wrong wheels before going to the other set and making an instant find. Signed the log which will take a long time to fill at this rate.

Thanks.

North Qld 2013. This felt terribly exposed, but the cars were rushing past, so I poked around until I found it. Thanks.

This one took a long time and we were beginning to think that maybe new bark had been put down for the recent V8 meet and the cache may have disappeared in the tidy up. We decided to persevere a little longer and Mr Beetle came up with the goods. A nice little piece of art work. To anyone looking for this cache our advice is not to give up - it is there. Thanks.

another tiny find, though the clues helped by being very literal!

This proved to be quite a challenge for us! We searched and searched and eventually could miss it no longer. Luckily we had a good excuse to stop there, admiring the art 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
