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 camo micro and you will need to bring your own pencil. Located in a quieter part of the circuit you will only need to watch out for muggle dog walkers in the morning and evenings and of course 150,000 muggles at a certain time of the year.

Congratulations Champs2Monkeys FTF

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

As the previous log was a DNF, we have replaced the cache with an eclipse tin in the fork of tree (low) to keep it active.

While in the area, thought a quick stroll to look for this cache was in order. A nice shady spot and a quick find.

North Qld 2013. I had to skip this one the other day as there were cleanup crew about so today with no one about it came together quickly. Thanks

Accessing this one proved to be very difficult. There was still a lot of workmen pulling down all of the fencing from the recent race. In the end we ignored the Do Not Enter signs and the Report to Foreman ones too and found a way in. It did involve walking part of the track. We met a few workers and not one of them asked why we were there so I guess their signs don't mean much. The forklifts were stockpiling the temporary fencing near GZ but we were able to find this nice hide between their visits. Think this one was nearly as difficult to do now as on race weekend. Thanks.

We knew it had to be something like that and after a short search, the cache container appeared. The sprinklers were on on the way out and we took the opportunity to splash about on the way through Wink. Thanks

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
