Gallery of log for Caloma TS7018
Decided to go on a trip up into the mountains today. Ended up getting sidetracked on another set of hills on the way here so didn't have heaps of time to spend in the mountains. Sadly didn't quite reach the Barrabadine Trig.
However, I did manage to find 2 archived GC geocaches whilst in the area. Serenity Valley and Go Hervey. Sadly they were both in the NP and could not be republished so I removed the remains of them. Go Hervey was totally intact when I laid my eyes on it, however, when I went to grab it my fingers fell straight through it! It was so brittle it was really hard to pick up. I figured to move more rocks and pick it up by the base. The contents were surprisingly well kept considering they hadn't been touched for 7 years!
Saw Tuena's name int he logbook as she mentioned in her log here below.
The Trig location is right on the side of the road so I updated the difficulty rating down from 2.5 to match (even before logging my Chrsitmas In July find - what was I thinking! haha). Terrain stays the same as the road is not the best and if walking up the hill from the other side like MsMacca did it is even worse! I am glad I made the effort to find the archived cache as it led me to a much better view. That is a short walk West. I assume the marked lookout trail just a few meters down the road from the trig point will give much the same view and in a much safer manner. I was slightly tempted to climb the viewing/fire tower across the road from the trig, but I was out there on my own.
I also updated the Trig name as it is officially called Caloma as seen on SIX Maps.
It was a great drive that, now that I have the appropriate Geomobile, I could finally get to.
Happy Christmas in July!
