On our trip from Birdsville to Broken Hill with our caravan on tow.

The track was very rocky and bumpy after having had so much Big Red Bash traffic. We parked the caravan on Innamincka Town common
then headed out to explore and find these caches. That is after realising how we had misloaded the GPSr and didnt have any caches at
the dig tree. Think

Great to now be finding some caches and exploring the history of the area. Clapping Oh how tough it would have been in 1860! Shocked

On the way back from Coongie lake I passed fairly close to a few of these B&W caches. There was not much to see, but I made the walk and recorded an image. Thanks

Found by Sunshine Toledo and Her Majesty at 1:15pm. We were driving through Innamincka and then onto the Birdsville Races. This is the spot where hope ebbs away. TFTC

Found on our trip to Innamincka. Better than any history lesson learnt in the classroom. Much more fascinating being here where it all happened - miles from nowhere. TFTC
I've missed a photo along the way, this one is from nearby

Found during our winter holiday to Innaminka. Reading Sarah Murgatroyds book "The Dig Tree" brings the whole story to life (or Death).
The Creek is still running high at the moment and the area is alive with birds. Hard to imagine the place 150 years ago.
