We are off on a trip to the Birdsville Races and then across to Queensland - the plan is for about 6 weeks of travel - all going well.

Week 1 we have travelled from Portland to Farrell's Flat near Clare.
Week 2 was Clare to Port Augusta.
Week 3 Port Augusta to Birdsville.
Week 4 Birdsville to Aramac
Day 35 and today we headed out to see the Sculpture Trail from Aramac around Lake Dunn.
We didnt spot this one on the GPSr but luckily we did spot the bison.
Thanks for contributing to our holiday artesiancacher

On our travels we found ourselves in Aramac and took the opportunity to drive the sculpture trail and of course grab a few caches in the way, a quick find as per hint but found the log full so added another, thanks for placing this cache

Easy find. Hope that spider doesn't get away TFTC

A great find on our drive around the Sculpture Trail.
Thanks.

Enjoying the sculpture trail, thanks for an easy find!

Doing the trail and thought we better find some treasure on the way! Off to goanna now…

Found when doing the sculpture trail. TFTC. TNLN. SL
Had trouble signing the log but left some initials.

Great Northern escape 2022 Day 138. Jericho Day 3. With no large targets on my radar for today, I decided to go to the western section of the sculpture trail to do the caches up that way. I almost managed to pull of a multi as well, but that will have to wait for another day. The dirt roads were in pretty good condition and I got to say hello to a farmer near one cache.

The bits of metal used for this and many of the other artworks along here are so random, but the outcomes are pretty good. The cache is well despite being so obvious.

Thanks for the cache artesiancacher

We were very kindly invited to do a maintenance run with RoddyC and Grannysmith1947. They found out our paths were crossing when we logged one of RoddyC’s logs last night. Thanks RoddyC for the invite and artesiancacher for the cache.

My solo trip to Queensland continues...

After camping near Muttaburra last night, I was up and on the road early for a big day of looking about and caching. There were quite a few new caches out since I was last here a couple of years ago, so I was keen to grab some of them. My focus areas were Muttaburra, Aramac and the Lave Dunn sculpture trail, with a view to getting to Barcaldine for the evening.

This was a quick find as ai made my way around the sculpture trail.

Thanks artesiancacher for the cache.

Easy find. Interesting bush art sculpture. Thanks for the Cache.

A great hide along this road. Thanks

I’ve had the very best day today doing this whole loop out from Aramac. Signed Grobby G. TFTC artesiancacher.

Found with mum yesterday.

Stopped admired and collected the cache here. I like this spider as they seem less scary than huntsman or red back spiders.

A quick easy grab under the watchful eye of the gaint spider. Tftc

Caching in and around Aramac and surrounds we picked up a few caches and this was one of them.

Cache and contents were in good condition.

Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.

Day 361 - We decided today that a nice drive out to ARAMAC was the order of the day however we made a wrong decision and continued on from there and managed to stay out too long and not finish two started caches so after much discussion and a little bit of pig headiness we turned for home some 200K out of the way. It was however a nice drive and we manage to collect 31 finds and 1 DNF of those 1 werigo 1 mystery 1 multi 1 letter box and the remainder were the good old fashion traditional caches. What a great day.

Well this was our last cache and not long after finding this cache we had to make a turn for home as we started on the werigo a little late next time we are in the area we will do it a little earlier. However at GZ the cache was not expected to be where it was and we made the find and signed the log.

Thanks artesiancacher for this interesting place to stop and see something different and get a smiley.

Big day out today from Aramac. Plan to complete the Wherigo and Multi together on the sculpture trail. Well it would have been okay if we didnt start the wrong WIG first up so we did a lengthy circuit of town to start the day with a DNF before heading further afield.

Thankfully we had a great day visiting Lake Dunn and seeing all the amazing sculptures. Even ducked into Gray Rock on the way back which was a great little historical spot.

*FTF* thanks to the draw this morning at the Muster. Out on the Muster trail today with Selva Girls, Richmond Lad and JooJoo57. A great time had by all today. We are in awe of the amount of work this trail has taken. Thanks for creating this amazing Event and trail for us!

While on the road completing the Geo Muster Wherigo, we stopped here to find this cache.

Today we are participating in the first Geo Muster, taking us on a journey of about 200km from Aramac to Jericho via Lake Dunn and the Sculpture Trail.

Today had the potential to be a bit of a disaster from the outset but it was a fantastic day with us achieving everything we set out to do! We only had 3 in the car, so it was a busy but fun day with multi tasking and good teamwork getting us over the line.
Well done Team PIE!

We started out late from Barcy and picked up the 6 caches of the 20 in 20 series we had missed the day before, so we didn't get to Aramac until after 9am. We took a rough back track to the racecourse to find noone there so returned to town only to discover we needed to be back at the racecourse to start the whereigo! We went back and got that fired up on two devices just in case one crashed and then lined up at the starting blocks.

I was inwardly quite anxious by then and voiced my doubts about getting everything done. Mrs Patrol14 said we would get through what we could and make sure we at least saw all the sculptures. Goodo! thats a plan so I took a chill pill and we set off on our adventure.

Today we successfully completed the wherigo, 2 multis, an earthcache and all the trads except Dickson Island. And we saw all the sculptures too! We found all bar two of the things on the "spot the..." competition but could retro fit those in, as well as spying a few more things for the eye spy sheet. We also shared in a FTF with the Gullivers and still made it to Jericho in plenty of time to have a cuppa with others in the park. We then went and dressed some anthills and did a few more caches before attending the event and had a great meal at the Jericho Hotel. We decided to skip the movie as it had been a big enough day and finished the last couple of caches in Jericho before heading back to Barcy.

Wow! It's BIG! Just glad its not real!
?? Feeding it a favourite point so it doesn't bite anyone!

Thank you to all the COs for your hard work in creating the caches and hides we visited today.

Attending QOGM18 in Barcaldine and today's venture took us on a long drive collecting some caches and completing a Wherigo, a Multi and at the same time looking out to match some photos. Certainly was a big day but we did it all. TFTC

Stortigirls, Richmond Lad, JooJoo57 and I were having fun on the Muster run. Loving the sculptures! This cache was quickly located and the log signed. TFTC

Hi there .

We found this cache in the company of "au.fait" and "Baby & Mrs Gopher" as we followed the QOGM event weekend caches around Aramac, Lake Dunn and Jericho.

We thoroughly enjoyed today's adventure. Thanks for placing the cache for our enjoyment.

Regards

Ian & Penny.

What a beauty. Got it on this awesome trail with DiMorgan, Firesafe and Snakepiters. Fav point alloc. Thankyou.

Today was the big day we had all been waiting for the day of the muster. This turned out a very big day of a very long wher-i-go & multi. We passed & inspected some amazing sculptures on a our way to Lake Dunn & then the event & Jericho before returning to Barcaldine.
Caching today with Liz and Bruce & the Snakepitters who were driving their Red Belly Black & Firesafe, we made a great team together.
It was good to find such a variety of caches & hides along the way.
FP given, would not like to meet this creature in the dark
Thanks for placing this cache

Doing the big circuit from Barcaldine via Aramac, Lake Dunn and Jericho and back to Barcaldine in a full vehicle with ian and penny,and baby&mrsGopher having a load of fun. Stopped here by a huge scary spider guarding the treasure. Braved all to sign the log TFTC artesiancacher

A good trip along the sculpture trail.
Put S behind the wheel, Sobbingtons in charge of pictures and the main WiG pilot while I tried to keep on top of the multi, traditionals caches and running the WIG on a device just in case.
Sometimes stressful, most of the time very enjoyable.
Love the details of the sculptures

Thanks for placing out here for us to enjoy

Today was QOGM Muster day and that included doing caches during the Muster as well as caches around Jericho where there was an Event for the evening. Thank you to the CO's for the placement of these caches. Well done TFTC

Day 9 of our road trip to the QOGM and its the busy Muster Day. Thank you so much to all the COs who have placed caches along the highways and byways that we will travel over in the fourteen days we are away. Without your caches we would not see and/or learn about your local area.
