Found at 8:52 AM GAFF1. Didn't realise that his town also had a festival that is based on the music of the USA redneck society Razz We love all sorts of music - EXCEPT - twangy, nasally country stuff. Here is a good joke about country music - What do you get when you play country backwards? You get your truck back, your dog back, your wife back ....." Ha - I love that joke Big Grin
Thanks HDSpringer.

A quick weekend trip to put some miles on one of my lease cars was in order. Blackwater, Clermont, Charters Towers, almost to Townsville, Ayr, Mackay, Nebo, Dingo, and home again. About 1500km over 2 days.

It was just a case of where?

1410 hrs was the time. The log book is full.

Cheers

# 248 Argggh. Another micro. The hint had us grab the hide almost instantly. Took a few pictures, checked out the bull and had a swing, before deciding that we were all overdue for a feed.

Headed over to Maccas where we had a feed and the monkeys are doing what they do best (swinging) while I use free internet to log the last few caches.

We had a little time between chores during an all-too-short visit to Charlie's Trousers (as we have just discovered, thank you Cragged) so we set out to hunt a few caches. Not that micros and nanos in urban settings are our favourite, they're definitely not! However, we did pick this one up at 12.40 pm, so TFTC HDSpringer. TNLN (well, you can't, can you!. Would have to say the sculpture is showing signs of age.
 
24-Aug-11
Nice easy find.
Did this without the GPS. Just remembered the clues from the notes and there it was!
