I made a stop in Nebo on my way back to Mackay, did a walk through the town and collected some caches. Thanks for this one.

To many places to check.

There is a reason something is upside down. Look up.

Thanks for the distraction from my driving.
I hadn’t stoped in town before.
A lot of history here.

We are currently staying at Mackay and today we returned to the trail to find more in this series.

Some were quick finds, others took longer to reveal themselves. We added ziplock bags, new log sheets to those that needed it and replaced a couple that were gone due to roadworks.

A 12hr day by the time we returned to Mackay.

Our thanks to geocaching_mackay for creating, researching and placing this series. We appreciate the time and effort that it must have taken to do so.

*FTF*
Wayne had an early mark from work this afternoon and couldn't resist the lure of so many newly published caches.
Our birds protested most vociferously at being put to bed at 3pm, but I knew it would be dark before we were heading for home.
So with a pen in one pocket and a torch in the other, 2 and 1/2 hours of daylight and a one hour drive, we headed off up the Range to log some FTFs.
We witnessed a glorious sunset when we stopped at Nebo Junction to buy some dinner, then drove back down Sarina Range in the dark.
Thanks for the cache and the FTF.
