Description
The Cache is not located at the above Coordinates. Find Mulga Bill's Bicycle GA 8447 for coordinates for this mystery.
Australians love a long weekend and they can be especially productive for DYI house improvements, going to the beach, camping, bbq's with friends, nice drives exploring places further afield than a traditional weekend. OR..an extreme amount of power trail caching can be done!!! We also hope for fantastic weather for the duration of the LONG WEEKEND. This cache is a lovely tin that pays tribute to the Aussie long weekend, by the way sorry I ate all the chocolate chip biscuits before hiding it.
Please do not take the tin, it is for all to look at and enjoy the fun nostalgic postcards on the lid.
Please replace as found and well covered to keep from getting wet and longevity of the cache as it is metal and may rust.

Caching in the area with whitewebbs and this was one of the caches we found. A great series that we enjoyed solving and finding. Unfortunately this one has been damaged in the recent burn off and will need some attention.

Out and about with Tassie Trekkers hunting down GCA caches and this was one we found. Unfortunately the container has been through a fire and only the tin remains, added a note sheet and rehid near burnt log. (see photos). TFTC
After flying in we grabbed our hire car and headed down this way to tackle these caches. We had solved all we could beforehand and the plan was to grab those, and the co-ords for the others out of the caches we found.
After finding the co-ords as promised, we decided to head over to this one while in the area. No issues at all and the cache was soon in hand. Once signed, everythogn was put back as found and we were off...just like grey nomads.
Thanks again Sambuccasam….we enjoy long weekends, even those of us who are retired.
Another nicely themed cache - great tin! Good coords made for a quick find here.
Cache is in excellent condition.
Thanks heaps Sam.
Lots of fun goodies here.
Thanks for another great cache.
