Our last find of the day. The box needs replacing as split and the lid was in pieces. The box was found upside down, I guess it had been left like that to try to keep contents dry. Another great spot to view the sculptures. TFTC Happy Easter.

Well it ain't Superman !! Razz
The plane is up the road a bit,
so it must be a bird Smile

Not the sort of bird you are ever likely to see in the wild in South Australia though !! Big Grin
Head for Mission Beach in Qld to see one Razz
The other birds in the back ground are another species you ain't going to see here !!
But you might see them in SA if you head up north to the Innaminka area Smile

Which makes me think this farmer is homesick for the tropics and doesn't like the cold 'n' wet down here Wink

Dr Owl was suggesting a weekend away to tackle some adventurous caches in a disputed area of Mexico and to spend some quality time with Muff1. Who was I to say no! Extensive use was made of the Muffmobile and Mrs Muff came along for the ride and to poke fun at our caching efforts.

Mrs Muff1 insisted we do this series of caches despite it being dark and a nice tea waiting for us in Kaniva, glad she did.

Thanks for the cache jgc3.

This cache was found as part of a 28 hour caching odyssey around the Wimmera and Upper South East with TT016. A total of 670 km was covered in the trusty old GQ Patrol on the way to 93 cache finds. Caches collected included the Rusty Rail Series and the SA or VIC? puzzles, which were all found at night!

This was my favourite along this stretch of road. I loved looking for the different species of birds that had been created. What a shame more of this sort of country artwork isn't around...

Is it a bird if it can't fly? Some would say no. They are always in pairs so keep your eyes peeled.

Respect.[^]

Thanks to jgc3 and clear skies from TeamAstro. [^]

I just loved this and the other works along here.
I found the cache out in the open and log was quite damp but still OK.
I rehid it as best I could in a location I thought might be the correct ?
Thanks

Find # 2409 @ 1203 H

I was off on my biggest, single day, road trip. I left home at just after 7am and didn't get home until just after 11pm. I ended up with just over 670ks travelled, 29 smilies one being and event, and 3 Trig point discoveries, this included even heading interstate for 3 grabs.
There was many sights to see and even the odd fence jump for caches or photos. I think I managed to see every colour of mud that Western Victoria has on offer and I have a nice collection of it now in my drive way. I even had my pushbike on board and ended up peddling 5ks for 6 finds.

Being a welder I spent more time admiring all the works in the paddock than caching, and a stack of photos was taken. with 4 caches I think I stopped almost 10 times just for the art work. Its not often you see so much in one area, a big thankyou for the caches to highlight these beauties.

I thought I saw a thylacine! And a dinosaur! Thanks for placing a cache here and getting us to stop! A bit of a distraction for the L plater but still managed to carry out his instructions, "stop in 100, 50, 20, now, now!"

Managed a second (silver) for this one as Donnazev and I made our way from Aspley through to Francis.

Loved the nearby artwork. Reminded me very much of the farm sculptures near Dublin.
