The Bra Tree Broken Hill, New South Wales, Australia

It has been muggled, we won't be able to replace for some time.

I noticed that this cache has been temporarily disabled for a period of time well in excess of the period of "a few weeks" as contemplated by the cache guidelines published on Geocaching.com. While I feel that Geocaching.com should hold the location for you and block other caches from entering the area around this cache for a reasonable amount of time, we can't do so forever. Please either repair/replace this cache, or archive it (using the *archive listing* link in the upper right) so that someone else can place a cache in the area, and geocachers can once again enjoy visiting this location.

If you plan on repairing this cache, **please log a note to the cache** (not email) within the next 28 days so I don't archive the listing for non-communication. For ongoing issues please ensure you visit the listing and post a new note every 28 days to keep everyone up to date, if you do not then you cache may be archived without further note from a reviewer. Caches archived due to lack of maintenance are no longer unarchived and you will need to submit a replacement as a new cache.

Looks like it has been muggled

No luck with this one. Did an extensive search of the area and found a screw-top lid but no other signs of the cache. I think it's missing.

I think this one is gone due to construction of water line?

I had a look for this one but I couldn't find it today. I hope it's still there. My thanks to four-eds for placing it.

Been meaning to stop by the past few years & finally got this one done on our way back from Broken Hill

Day 3 of the trek to the Queensland Outback Geocaching Muster. Todays leg from Mildura to Broken Hill, of course grabbing caches along the way. TFTC.

Found on a great day for a drive through to Broken Hill. Kids thought this “tree” was amusing. Thanks for the placement and history.

Found it

I wonder why it’s called The Bra Tree? TFTC

Off on our holidays, traveling from Adelaide to Nullarbor, Broken Hill, Mildura and the Mallee Region.
Chasing a few Caches, Earthcache's, Virtual's & Multi's along the way, this was one of the caches we found.
Taking a few TB's along the route and placing a Path Tag or two as we discover the Yellow Smiley Faces!
The question is, did we find it worthy of a favourite point?
We thank the CO for bringing us to this place in beautiful Australia.

Yay

First of today's finds on our way to BH. Such a beautiful memorial <3

TFTC. Quick drive by. Made us smile, but with respect for the passing also.

Nice drive-by in memory of Maree. Too hot to stay long...37 deg.

Making our way to Broken Hill and made the most of grabbing what few caches there were along the drive. Managed a nice quick find and continued on our way, thanks four-eds for the hide.

Over the years, geocaching has taken me on many adventures, including interesting destinations all over my home continent of Australia and many overseas as well. It has also introduced me to a diverse group of like-minded caching tragics, many of whom I now call close friends.

Today, I was lucky enough to be out and about searching for caches, something I do on almost a daily basis. This was one cache that was targeted and found.

Sorry for the late and generic log, something I am notorious for. Thank you four-edsfor adding to the adventure that is geocaching.

Another reason to stop and stretch the legs to break up the drive.
A very different but nice tribute to Maree good to see people still care and remember her.
A quick search of the area and I soon had the cache in hand.
Thanks four-eds & Phate TFTC.

Found it

Found thanks made a sad trip back to the Hill fun for the kids. Traded, the kids are looking forward to stopping on the way back to see if there trade is still there

Had to get geowife to help on this one

Parked right beside. Easy drive by cache. Nice memorial. TFTC.

We are now on our final leg of our Mega Simpson trip, and today was the long drive back home after a big night with friends in Broken Hill.
This was a quick park and grab and snicker, and jokes about booby prizes....
Anyway, after all the schoolboy humour was over with, we all piled back in the dirty 4wds and sailed off into the sunset.

Boob tube, Over the shoulder boulder holder; Ok now I'm just getting childish.

Stopped to break up our drive from Broken Hill to home. Today is the last day of our epic Red Centre Experince so it's all about getting home safely. Thanks for helping us break the drive.

We are on our way home from the Red Cenre Experience Event in Alice Springs and today we made our way from Broken Hill to Curlwaa caching on the way and this was one we found. Plenty of room to pull off with the van in tow. A quick find. TFTC

Day 9 of our road trip from the Red Centre Experience event at Alice Springs to Sydney with Wazza9 and Nana Nel. Greetings from Arizona, USA. SLO TFTC

Beautiful adventure of natives
Found it
Thanks for the cache four-eds

Thankyou for breaking up the trip with this one

One question came into my head; Anyone need any bras? TFTC

Off on a spontaneous travelling adventure, and a last minute plan was made to dash to Silverton from Mildura. That's a long stretch of road between Wentworth & Broken Hill, so I spied out caches along the way to have an opportunity to stretch the legs. Not a lot on offer, but this one gave the geomrs a laugh as we pulled up. La Mina & I made a quick find whilst our travelling paparazzi did what they do best. TFTC, and the chance to stretch the legs.

Found with SwagHo while on holidays from Canada. TFTC.

Laughed as we pulled in. Quick find. Tftc

Haha! Didn't leave anything of our own behind other than our names on the log! TFTC.

Amazing.....I always thought bras were made but now I know they grow on trees.....the nearby "jock tree" doesn't seem to be going well though! TFTC.

Mr Frog was very happy to find this one

Morning tea spot. Bit muddy on approach though. TFTC

Knowing the history of the tree and having just recently lost my wife to cancer, I stopped and did the cache on the way to my wife's best friends birthday at Broken Hill.
Thanks for the cache.

Found it

Pretty cool location, good find!

We found your cache The Bra Tree on our camping holiday with GeoJess [woof] from Ballarat around NSW and back in search of warmer weather and a few caches
Found on a long and rainy drive from Mildura to Broken Hill. Thanks for pointingout the tree!
The cache is in good shape.
Thanks four-eds, kindly maintained by Phate for the cache!

Found on our simpson desert holiday
Tftc

Well, well, well! Have seen many themed trees but not a bra one before.
Second visitor to this cache today. Unfortunately while we were here the road train we passed a few kilometres back went past. They are tricky things to get past in a campervan but we did it again.
Thanks.

It was my mum's birthday today. She died 2 years ago from breast cancer so I stopped and had a think under a vast blue sky. Miss you mum.

On our way to broken Hill for a day of sight seeing and geocaching of course. A quick find and a chance to stretch our legs.
Sorry about the slow log.
Thanks

On a wonderful trek with Gonefishen07 heading across the Simpson Desert and beyond. Thanks to all the COs who have provided some entertainment along the way. TFTC and for bringing us here.

Found with Borisb&natasha on our way north. Didn't have a spare bar to add to tree unfortunately . Far out it is cold here today. TFTC

After a good day yesterday achieving over 150 in a day we left the camping grounds at Loxton to head for another great spot , Broken Hill. As we travelled along we picked up as many caches as we had time for, making 3 states in a day
Hilarious, the things people do! Oh well a good excuse for a cache placement and helps break up th monotony of the drive.
**Thanks four-eds for the hide.**

My hubby and me are visiting from Sweden over Xmas and New Years. Lovely weather, nice people and good times so far. Of course we had to log a few caches as well. No trouble finding this one. Thanks for the cache!

Wonderful idea! We both logged the cache and left a bra. Also dropped a coin.

TFTC

This cache has iluded me for ages mostly cause I drive right past it but not this time... Tftc

Yay easily found made the kids excited to find another!!!

On our weekend trip to Broken Hill this past weekend with my Partner Lord Rossatron we decided caching along the way would be a bonus, break the trip up but also a rise in our caches found too! The Bra tree I had seen many times on my endevours to Broken Hill but had never actually pulled over and stopped at it... The sun was still very hot and we were easily getting burnt but we found the cache nice and fast.

Found on the way to broken hill, a nice spot. TFTC

Many thanks to the cache owner four-eds for establishing and maintaining this cache at an important location in due memory.

Found on the way back to Broken Hill with RamaTim, Geo-teens and Dot Dot. Cache was spotted by Dot Dot, her first ever! We took an eraser and left a figurine, two erasers and two marbles. TFTC!

Stopped on our way to Broken Hill. TFTC

A really lovely memorial on the way to Broken Hill, love that caches bring me to places like this. TFTC.

Tftc

My wife and I weren't planning on stopping here but when we saw the tree I said to my wife I beat you there's a cache there and there was so a U turn we did. TFTC

#1661 We have now visited a number of themed trees as a result of road trips and caching. A sad connection with this one though, signed the log and read the memorial whilst here - tftc four-eds.

Day eighteen of the short holiday with Bettyboo3747.
A day for starting for home. Drove from Broken Hill to Mildura (there are only 2 caches on that road until you hit Wentworth - 2 in 270 km! Starting to suffer from withdrawal!)
Did a few in Wentworth, then drove around the back way to our accommodation in Buronga.
Popped out in the afternoon to the Australian Inland Botanic Gardens, but didn't realize they close at 4pm - we shall return.
This sort of matches the safety clothesline we saw on the Barrier highway leading into Broken Hill. Seen a few trees around now.
Thanks, Robmc.

# 9505. Almost at the end of our 3 week holiday. Today Robmc and I travelled from Broken Hill to Buronga and stopped for a few caches on the way. After settling in to our accommodation we went out for a few more before the afternoon storm arrived.

Our first stop on the way south - an easy tree to spy on the long flat road. They were happily blowing in the wind today. Took note of the little plaque and proceed to GZ for a quick find as it was not well-camouflaged. Signed log and we were on our way.

Thanks four-eds

Take your pick. Was there the local breast screening done here once?

Thanks to four-eds and clear skies from TeamAstro. Cache the planet!

I had come to Broken Hill with my Dad as we had never been before and now we were heading home via Mildura.

Stopped here for lunch, an interesting work of art and shrine. Quite a collection growing. RIP Maree.
