We had done the homework on this one on a previous visit to Temora, but had not had enough time to stop and search at the final. Back in town today, we decided to stop here and see if we could find a little hide. We spotted it upon arrival and were able to park very close to GZ. Thanks Team Horizons. Some lovely equine history here! Domsky

After moving to Temora we thought we ought to check out what the local caches had to offer. A fantastic little introduction to this beautiful town and its history. The hint threw us off the scent but not for long. Found with Wombatshark29 Thanks for the cache!

Came along here with goingplaces2 and searched the logical place first for a quick find. All good with the container and the log, which was signed, after we managed to get the lid off, that is. TFTC.
 
27-Mar-24
Had some time this afternoon to look for some caches around town with ilook4geo. This was an easy find after working the numbers to get the new location. The lid was very tight and needed a tool from the car to get it open. Otherwise all was good. Thanks for the cache placement go to Team Horizons.

Just out doing some cacheing on a beautiful Sunday afternoon and found this little beauty. Certainly tested our maths this one.

Caching around Temora today, this was a quick find at GZ. All good with cache and log.Thanks!
 
01-Oct-23
Today we explored Temora and surrounds using geocaching as a guide.We enjoyed travelling through the countryside and visiting new, to us, locations.We found a variety of hides with varying degrees of difficulty.A straight forward multi and a quick find at GZ.Many thanks to all CO's for your cache placement.
 
14-Jul-23
Day six of setting off north with BettyBoo3747 and geodoggies.
The weather in Beechworth has been far too damp and cold for caching!
Today we started in Barellen and drove to Temora.
Another lovely blue sky and sunny day.

We did our calculations and wondered why choose that spot as GZ?
We found out when we arrived. Good choice.
Thanks, Robmc.
Btw, the cache is no longer magnetic.
 
14-Jul-23
#21208. Day 6 of our escape into NSW. The weather has become so nice we are going to extend the trip by an extra day. Today was just a gentle touring day from Barellan to Temora gathering up some finds along the way. We did have the customary DNF though.

What an amazing horse this one was. The Temora Tornado is a fitting name for him. So many starts and so many wins and placings - a real star and I see he lived until 20 years old.

Rob solved the puzzle and off to GZ we went. The hint was leading us astray but eventually Rob managed to locate the container. All good with the hide, but the hint needs changing.

Thanks Team Horizons
 
30-Apr-23
Being an oldie we were really keen to find the cache. No problems working out new co-ords but we couldn't find anything at GZ. Thanks anyway Team Horizons.
 
27-Jan-23
Cache 9611 on 27 Jan 2023.

On a road trip from CBR to Griffith to do some wine tasting with geo-man and geo-daughter over the long weekend. Stopped in Temora for a mini break and to grab a couple of caches.

Solved this little multi beforehand and made a quick find at an appropriate spot!

Thanks Team Horizons for the cache and the fun!
 
26-Dec-22
A trip to check out some of the awesome places in NSW and grab some old caches. TFTC.
Was a bit confused to begin with until I realised what the questions were about. Quick find at GZ. Hint needs an update

I was originally going to be in Temora for the weekend for the War Birds air show, but a little too much rain had the event cancelled, and as I had the leave booked I ventured up from SW Victoria to visit my son in Young, stopping off to grab a few caches along the way.
A bad case of cache blindness had me spending much longer than I should have at GZ.

Thanks JohnoMawbs

Our stay in Temora /Junee is coming to an end. We enjoyed our time here.

Before we go, we clean up couple of more caches. Multis are not our favourite type of caches, but we could do these ones without problems. That's always a fav point from me!

Tftc Team Horizons and
JohnoMawbs for stepping in with maintenance
 
10-Oct-22
We are on a camping trip in NSW, and we spend a couple of days in Temora and area.

Cache was missing and has now been replaced.
 
22-Aug-22
No, couldn’t find this one either. Too clever.
 
16-Jul-22
We had planned a road trip to Queensland to visit family in 2021, but our travel plans were stalled due to border closures during the COVID-19 pandemic. Now that the world was trying to get back to a semi normal state, we decided to have another go at getting away from the cold and head up north for some sunshine and warmth. Day 1 of our trip took us through many regions of NSW where we picked up some caches on our way through, and this was one of them. Apologies for the generic log, but thank you to all the cache owners for the placements.
 
14-Jul-22
Had to get this one, everyone loved this horse. Thanks for putting this one up
 
19-Apr-22
Quick and easy sole and find.

Spotted this one before I left the car which was lucky as the rain has set in.
 
09-Apr-22
Catching up on some very late logs, now that I have time, while travelling.

Found this hide while filling in the day, while hubby was at the Airshow. It started raining while I was doing this one.

Thanks for placing this cache and doing the maintenance, so we can enjoyed finding it.

Today was the Multi and Lab cache day so on our bikes on a very quiet Australia Day in Temora, cycling around town. Nice simple multi, Although our GZ was a few metres out, but on looking around, it was not hard to work out where we should be.


Thanks Team Horizons for the caches.
Total Cache Finds 12408,

This is one of the caches we targeted and found thankyou for giving us the opportunity to explore. We are now heading home to Queensland after attending the Wangaratta event . Staying in Temora for a couple of days to do some caching.
 
20-Jan-22
This is how we like multis… easy to work out with no ambiguity.

We remember this horse well but didn’t remember he was from Temora.

We are really enjoying discovering some lovely towns as we make our way homewards to Qld after attending the mega in Wangaratta. It’s our second day here and Temora is definitely one of them.

Thank you.
 
11-Dec-21
A very quick find after solving the coordinates. A fun cache and interesting facts. TFTC
 
24-Nov-21
We enjoyed this multi especially the statue at the start, very cool. We worked the numbers and came up with a logical location to place the cache.
Another old placement on our NSW adventure off the list.

Thanks Team Horizons for the multi placement.
 
08-Oct-21
Temora . Travelling with pprass
We stayed for 2 nights at the train station. A great area to base yourself for a couple of days of caching.
We did a variety of caches in Temora including 2 AL. Travelled along some very wet roads, which we decided to abandon because of the condition & a big snake at the 1st cache.
The fields in the area looked spectacular with the golden canola & the green wheat crops.

A well know horse, information was easily enough to find from home,

Thankyou Team Horizons for placing this cache.



 
04-Oct-21
Second find for the day, log was very wet and paper falling apart we could not physically sign log.

#11855 - 10:10; Day one of a mission through the Central West of New South Wales with Sol de lune to grab some of the dragonZones and counties to our west. Today's travels took us through Binalong, Temora, Barmedman, West Wyalong, Rankin Springs, Goolgowi, Hillston and finally Lake Cargelligo where we spent the night. After a stop in Binalong, we had now reached Temora after a detour through Cootamundra due to a road closure. Managed to turn a blue face into a smiley on this visit to the Paleface. Log was very damp, but still managed to add my name to it. TFTC Team Horizons Smile
 
03-Jul-21
First we couldn't find anything with the clue. Then we read the older logs and that the clue is wrong.
So we searche donce more and found the cache.
The logbook is wet!

Mr TiedyeSmileys used his palefaced magic to calculate GZ. Cache quickly spotted and signed.
TFTC
 
06-Jun-21
Collected the information and then did the calculations. The final GZ made sense, but we searched for a while with no luck. The clue led us astray too, until Mrs SKI spotted it very close by.

We have been on the road since the start of May, having delayed our departure from our home in Churchill, Victoria so we could get our first dose of Covid vaccine. Our first stop was Geelong, then up to Tumut to visit our son and his family. We must have known something was coming because we managed to enter NSW a week before the current Covid lockdown in Victoria-our lucky break. Of course during our travels we have managed to find a few caches. Over 1000 so far on this trip, with plenty more to come we hope. We are really enjoying discovering the little towns along the way. So many lovely places, often with grand buildings linked to a long history. Temora hasn’t disappointed us. There are grand buildings galore, so lovely to look at. Another link that has Mrs Ski smiling is the link to Paleface Adios. As a youngster my granddad was an owner trainer of both race horses and pacers. Gran would always place a small flutter on any pacer with Adios in its name, and she usually had reason to smile at the outcome.

TFTC
 
25-Apr-21
Finally!!! So good to have this cache finally turned into a smile. It seems that last time we were here we had calculated GZ very very wrong. Today on the way back with Sol de Lune and Smittengranny from the wonderful comminuted event, we pulled in here and made the fast find. Thanks for the very interesting multi! Thanks for the cache.
 
25-Apr-21
Couldn't miss a CCE by JohnoMawbs as he makes such an effort to come to the Canberra regoin on a regular basis. So fitzy_1965 & I teamed up with albida33 and kittykatch for a great day of caching.

Time to start heading home....but caching on the way...of course!

After collecting the information earilery we made a quick find here today.
 
25-Apr-21
Found with Albida, fitzy and MinnieK on a caching run to Temora to attend Community Event. Picked up after the event today

Thanks for hiding this cache Team Horizons
 
04-Apr-21
Found on a trip around central New South Wales with e.gregory1. Our original plans were to travel through Bourke, Cunamulla and Toowoomba to attend the Dayboro event in Queensland and return via Port Macquarie and central NSW, but a series of events that included road closures due to flooding in southern inland Queensland, a covid outbreak in Brisbane and widespread storm damage and road closures along the north coast of NSW resulted in multiple changes of plans during the trip. As it eventuated our travels took us to central New South Wales, on a route from Broken Hill to Cobar, Nyngan, and Gunnedah from where we meandered southwards through some great scenery and historic towns that included Dunedoo, Wellington, Cowra and Yass. We then headed in a roughly westerly direction through to Temora, Wagga Wagga, Deniliquin and Swan Hill before making a final dash for home. All up we found a good mix of Traditionals, Puzzle Caches, Multicaches, Adventure Labs, Wherigos, Earthcaches, Letterbox Hybrids and Virtual Caches on a very entertaining and enjoyable trip. Thanks for the cache Team Horizons!

Had to do the maths on this one three times! Let’s not tell anyone that it is my job to teach maths to young minds. Shhhh! Tftc.

Found during a week in the Riverina.

A straightforward Multi. TFTC
 
04-Apr-21
Found on a trip around inland NSW with FeatherWaite.

Our original intention was to attend the Mega event at Dayboro in Queensland, travelling up via Broken Hill, Bourke, Cunamulla and Toowoomba, then home via the NSW coast to Port Macquarie then on to Adelaide via central NSW. However, the Covid outbreak in Brisbane forced us to reconsider, particularly given that the Mega and associated events were within the area of concern and we may have had difficulty re-entering NSW to get home and then would have had to quarantine back in SA for 14 days.

The floods in the north and east of NSW also hampered our travel plans. But we were able to develop a new plan that took us on a very pleasant tour around country NSW, picking up some interesting caches along the way.

This was a tricky find. Cache abd contents are in good order.

Thanks Team Horizons for the cache.

A quick find while spending a few days in Temora.What a great trotter,TFTC

A nice stop on our journey across the country from Adelaide to Brisbane with Davidwazza! TFTC!
 
10-Feb-21
Moving from Adelaide to Brisbane, [@jesswrigley](http://coord.info/PRNW59T) and I decided to drive the long distance to make the opportunity a holiday, taking 12 days and passing through Victoria, New South Wales, and then finally arriving in Queensland. We spent the first few days in SA's Riverland, visiting Morgan, Berri and Renmark; and then drove through Mildura in Victoria. In NSW, we stopped at Hay, Parkes, Merriwa, Tamworth, Port Macquarie, and Coffs Harbour, and then entered Qld to stop for a night in Robina in the Gold Coast.

Today, [@jesswrigley](http://coord.info/PRNW59T) and I travelled from Hay to Parkes. We travelled east via Griffith, Yenda, Barellan, Ardlethan, and Temora where we stopped for lunch. We then spent the early afternoon completing the two Adventure Labs around the town and lake, and then headed north and north-east via Barmedman, Forbes, and arriving in Parkes in the late evening. Several of NSW's LGAs were visited during our travels today.

We visited the posted coordinates to obtain the required numbers, and once we performed the simple maths and solved for GZ, we made the short drive. It took a while to find this one, as the hint was wrong (the cache was definitely not magnetic). Once we expanded our search to possible hiding spots, we eventually made the cache find. The cache container and logbook were in good shape. Thanks Team Horizons for the cache placement and ongoing maintenance. It was nice to have found this kinda oldie 11/2005 hidden cache.
Note that this geocache was logged with the *Team Warren* Davidwazza/jesswrigley stamp.

#6710 9th for today

A last minute (for me) inclusion into this trip following my canceled trip to Sydney for Xmas due to COVID concerns. Joined by Joolay, TikvaNZ and Darkside-Dan with a supporting role from local Johnomawbs. Almost zero prep in my case, but it was still a fun and very productive day. The temperature hovered around 32C for most of the day, but we stayed cool & comfortable in Joolay's air-cond' geomobile. The 4WD trip across the "Different" series was interesting and a lot of fun. I wasn't expecting that !
Neigh !

Thanks Team Horizons
 
26-Dec-20
What a great idea for a multi, and really good to see it being maintained given it's age! Never heard of the "Temora Tornado" before so that was a good history lesson! I think that would of been a cooler name for this cache too! Razz

Nice easy find at GZ, thanks to a local who gave me some hints at the CITO today as I mentioned I was off to find this one!

#14071 @1450
A full day's caching mission with StrangeTrousers, Joolay and DarkSideDan to Temora and back to Canberra. After attending today's CITO, we completed the Dedicated Adventure Lab in town, then headed out to drive the Different series, then did the Lake walk Adventure Lab. This was followed by grabbing most of the northern caches in town, before heading home again via Galong. This was the last cache we found in Temora. I had collected the information on a previous trip, so we went straight to GZ. Cache easily found. TFTC.
 
26-Dec-20
Interesting multi. Quick find and all good with cache.

Heading to Temora area for the CITO and to pick up some round the area with TikvaNZ, Strangetrousers and Darksidedan. Looking forward to a great day. TFTC Team Horizons

Got to love caching trips! On the way to South Australia with a few friends to pick up some nice caches. However, Tankengine and I were lucky enough to have an extra day up our sleeves so started off today and will meet up with the rest of the team tomorrow.

This cache: A good multi that I was surprised how far GZ was away, but not like it was all the way back in Canberra so not an issue. The answers were straight forward to answer and other than a slight miscalculation on my part we were soon able to ascertain where we had to be and found the cache straight away.

I like the information here for the multi and the other plaques near by. Tftc Team Horizons!!!

Chooo ooo [Found] with dty73 on our SA Road Trip! So nice that the borders are slowly starting to open! Thanks Team Horizons

Travelling around this wonderful area. This multi brought back some special memories, growing up we would go to the trots for birthday treat nights, and nothing more special than if paleface was racing. A definite favorite. Tftc

TFTC Team Horizons,



Here is a blurb about us
We are trying to get a badge ,the author ,from project GC for writing found log files of 100 words or more. Once we get this badge we will stop writing this. We are also trying to get badges for adding photos to our found logs .
We started caching in December 2019 and by January 2020 we were hooked. As we are on the road full-time, living in a caravan for almost 2 years now, caching fits in well with this lifestyle. It is taking us to places that we would normally not have gone. When we move to a new place we also look at what caches are in the area and how many days we will need to be there in order to get the caches we want.

We are in Temora for a few days at the showground camping area and will try to get some caches in town and surrounding areas. We are looking forward to the variety of hides we will encounter. Thank you for your work in placement and ongoing effort for maintenance of caches.

Trackables that are with us are
Ducinc Viking ship
Geocoin club November
Worldwide traveller
TE5 racer4 white origins
US flag micro geo coin
Mini purple.

Will definately be dropping a few of these as we have had some since prior to lockdown and a separate note will be written.

Once again thanks for the cache.

Brett and Judy.
And Dash.

I searched around for the "magnetic" cache unsuccessfully. Then I read previous logs and found the cache is no longer a magnetic one. After learning that, the find was quick. Good final coordinates. The cache is now a hanging green bison tube. The hint needs correcting. TFTC Team Horizons.

As a member of TeamOZCAT logged in this cache, I am now logging as an individual predominantly to avoid any mistaken/unnecessary revisitation.
Under groundspeak guidelines, this logging is acceptable as I was indeed at Cache GZ in person in recent times. However, all cache owners have the right to delete logs as they see fit. Usually done to "Armchair loggers" or inappropriate texting.

If any cache Owner/s have questions regarding this matter, please feel free to contact.

TeamOZCAT logged finds when both Karen and Reg logged as individuals. This logging is exactly the same, only in reverse. Again, groundspeak acceptable.
For an unspecified period of time TeamOZCAT are no longer cache searching but remain active in our cache management and maintenance.

I sincerely thank all CO's and wish you all the best in your endeavours. Cheers Karen
 
13-Jun-20
Many cache owners are already aware: As per Groundspeak guidelines, I am claiming find because physically found under TeamOzcat. I undertake this not for disinterested statistical purposes, but because of inability to revisit this cache, and/or because it's so damn confusing when viewing the local district geocache maps. I sincerely thank all CO's for time and effort in placement of their caches. Cheers Reg.
 
13-Jun-20
This was a most enjoyable multi. Information was clear and concise. Cache found in good condition. Got a fave point
 
08-Jun-20
Took a bit longer than it should have due to looking for a magnetic cache container. Once I read through the logs and found out that it was no longer a magnetic, but a little green bullet then I had it straight away. TFTC.
 
18-Jan-20
Our GZ made sense, but could not locate the container. TFTC

Good local fish and chips, half of town came in the shop while we were there


Yet another 'NSW county' trip done with Aquilus1!

This trip was to clean up a large hole we had in the central west around Wagga. So we left home and enjoyed the first cache of the day about 2 hours after leaving... now thats powering along. Along the way picking up all the counties we always have an eye on 'interesting' caches, be they Virtuals, oldies, Ausmer, large/regulars..... If you are reading this, then this cache made our list. Originally I was suppose to get my 5000th on the Victorian webcam, but at the last minute we gave into the realities of time and space and admitted we couldnt get there.

Previous trips have always been full of 'we got the last 2 rooms in town' days.... but it would seem we rode our luck too far. Albury was booked out, so was Wodonga, and Barnawartha, Chiltern, Rutherglen, Howlong..... but Wangaratta still had a few rooms!!! Never mind that we had a 7.30am start in Albury the next day, at least we found a bed.

We did of course make the most of of misfortune/poor planning, I grabbed several more Victorian counties I was missing AND we got the information for the next stage of a multi that starts in Canberra. We also saw a clear winner for 'father of the year' in the local 5 star restaurant which was a true highlight.

Anyway, back to Albury for a kayak trip down the Murray from Hume dam that was booked last minute, it was joyful. After waiting a while in the kayak I decided to 'make myself useful' and go and try find the next one.....yes, I realise now I should have simply got out of the kayak and 'helped', but it was at the first island and I wasnt really thinking straight. The trees were simply too much for us, we climbed but could not spy any caches, we unfortunately left our monkey behind.

Many, many hours later, we finally rounded the last corner and saw the boat ramp in Albury, a very happy sight to see. One last virtual to grab on the way home, diverting through Yass due to fires on the highway, my bed was sooooo nice at the end!
 
27-Dec-19
An interesting and easily worked through multi had us soon at GZ for a quick find.


With GreyHams we set out to continue to fill a few of the closer to home counties we were yet to find on our, "NSW counties mission"... how many?... ALL OF THEM!

Sure has lead us out into some far flung regions, this time some of the closer and just a shorter trip. With the temperature on the car staying steady at 40c the comfort of the cars seats, cold air con and companionship, what better way to cache in the heat with most being conveniently located close by to our stopping spots.

Our caches primarily being the NSW counties we were missing but many other caches of interest made the select list. 5 virtuals, larges, Ausmers, DT, and always the oldies. Some unexpected and delightful location greeted us as is often the way.

Lunch in Temora Day 1 at the local fish and chip shop with our select 'off the menu' item was a highlight and recommended to visit, all the locals did!

After the 11 hours to drive Canberra to Albury, why not continue on a little longer drive to Wangaratta for some accommodation! Not the original plan but the opportunity to pick up 2 extra Vic counties and work on a Multi that we now have the next point waiting in Melbourne. A fine dinner at the best establishment in town was the perfect way to end the day.

An early start to the day as we had a last minute idea that spending the day on the Murray kayaking is a good way to beat the heat. Indeed it was, and a 7.30am start to the pick up point had us up bright and early to commute from Wangaratta. Great set up by the hire company, and after a drop off by the less keen group half way, we were soon delivered at the hume weir for our 27km or so paddle back into Albury.

Lavish splashes of sunscreen kept the burn away and the head wind we encountered most of the day blew away the heat. The water cool and refreshing and a lovely river saw us collect 8 of the 10 caches along the way in a scenic location. A little misunderstanding early on may have have unsettled the start but we moved past it and have put it well behind us Wink

The Murray sure is a eclectic mix of interesting as we passed by, the curious cows, old relics and the characters of the people camping or just floating along in the current with their pool noodles to 'somewhere?'

Sure did give the arms a good work out at times with the head wind and the high water levels made landing on the islands limited, at times finding room for one kayak a little tricky but two was a launch of faith in places. Others of cause proved no issue with some careful looking but managed well enough regardless and always good to get out and stretch the legs. Most caches were found easy enough and in good condition, one in bad repair and a few trickier to search out took some time among the long grass, prickles and dense tree coverage but generally the islands were okay.

Overall a successful and enjoyable trip, a divert through Yass on the way home with the HWY closed due to a fire no real issue and arrived home safe and sound for a well earn't and sound sleep that night!

Thanks to all the CO's for your caches that helped guide us on our travels, your caches the select few we chose for our goals.

In town with Sol de lune, albida33 and Smittengranny to do the GCA 'History of Temora Tour' and gathered the information for this multi on the way around. Did the calculations and headed for GZ after lunch. Unfortunately, the cache seems to have trotted off Sad I'll check again next time I'm through this way. Thanks anyway Team Horizons Sad

Also curious why final coords seemed so far, but makes sense in the end.

While staying in Temora during my cycle tour of the area, I had some spare time to try for a few caches. I collected the info at the given co-ordinates the went for a coffee and a moment to do the maths. I then set out to the for a pleasant walk to the GZ with a muggle friend, who spotted the container and was thrilled to make her first find. TFTC.

Hubby can remember when Paleface was running and winning races, me never heard of the horse before today, this just shows how different our upbringing was. We went for the obvious at GZ but then we looked elsewhere and soon had the cache. SL TFTC

On a trip south from Brisbane to Melbourne then the ferry to Tassie after collecting our son’s car from Brisbane. We are only collecting solved puzzles, virtuals, Earthcaches or multi’s. If we happen to “drive over” traditionals then we add them too.

We actual did this multi last night after eating at a nearby club. I couldn’t believe where GZ was and made male membsec check........yep correct, so we decided to wait til the morning to grab it as neither of us could drive last night. Nicely done multi and the GZ was fantastic too.

TFTC and a favourite. (I normally hate multi’s)

Wonderful to find this cache. When I was a youth I spent every Friday night at Harold Park and saw Paleface Adios race many times. He was a fantastic competitor. We are here for the music weekend and it's good but this cache scored a win for the visit to Temora.

Was going to get the coordinates for GZ last night but when I plugged the site in I already had entered a waypoint - collected on a previous trip. I knew exactly where it would be as I had driven past that point many tines in my travels through town. So as part of a morning walk strolled our to GZ and waited for the traffic and looked, not in the obvious spot but quickly found. Log is a bit of a mess (as they can be in this type of container) but found a corner on a scrap to apply my signature. Returned and found - TFTC

Great to come up close and learn a bit of harness racing history.
Easy find after War Birds.

I had collected the required information previously and decided to collect this one on my drive back from Hillston to Canberra tonight. So under the cover of darkness, I pulled up nearby gz. A security car was whizzing around checking the businesses nearby so I thought I'd just wait for a bit before I go hunting around for the cache. There were plenty of options for where the cache could be hiding so it did take a bit of time to check around but once found it was easily retrieved. I like how gz related to the theme and wasn't some random spot. It also explained why gz was so far away from the posted coords. TFTM

We're on our home after a 3 week road trip that has taken us to Port Macquarie, Brisbane (for a family function), Broken Hill, Adelaide (where our daughter lives) and points in between. Today, we headed from Griffith to Cowra, but stopped along to pick up a cache in every local government we went through (it's a geo-challenges I have set myself).

This cache got the nod to be my Temora find because of its subject matter. I'm old enough to remember and to have seen the great Paleface Adios run at Harold Park. Now I'm not a trotting aficionado, just a sports fan, but it says something when I say that Paleface Adios is one of two trotter's names I remember from the glory days of trotting back in the 1980's, the other being Hondo Grattan.

I had worked out where GZ is prior to leaving home, but visited the posted coords to have a look at the Paleface Adios memorial there ... and to take a photo to show my grand daughter the 'big thing' we saw in Temora. The coords took us to a logical place for a themed hide, and bringing the cache to hand took was a straightforward exercise.

Thanks very much for placing this cache Team Horizons, and for bringing back memories of Friday nights at the trots.

A simple multi that we enjoyed researching whilst in Temora. Obtained the coordinates and it was obvious from there where it would be hiding.

A one night stay was had in the town to enjoy the air show and see a couple of the local sites. This being one of them. A couple of goes where needed to get a no. that looked reasonable. The operator of the calculator being the issue.
Also enjoyed a chat with a fellow tourist who had stopped by to see the landmark as well.
A new fence is being put in place at the final gz but no worries its not stopping access. But don't touch! Shocking!
Thanks for the cache.
