Description

This one will stop you in your tracks.....!

After spending a night in Winton and collecting the local caches, it became apparent that more caches are needed in the area.  Spotted a promising site while driving around and this cache is the result.  I hope you enjoy it.

(Sol de lune, albida33 and fitzy_1965 were present when the cache was placed and will log their finds once the FTF has been claimed).

We were expecting to see a stop-block at the end of the line (given the hint) but there is none. So we had a look around and found nothing. Then walking back to the car we bent to pick up some rubbish and it was the broken cache and logbook.
Sorry we don’t have a replacement cache onboard so we’ve removed it all.

Heading back to Longreach after spending the night in Winton.

It has been a long time since this station has seen passenger services, but an interesting place to see nonetheless.

Didn't realise there were two End of the Lines till the GPS kept pointing further. Didn't know also that the train doesn't come to Winton anymore. It hasn't since 2008. Not economical they said. TFTC LuckyL10n.

I was the driver so SG did the foot work and carried the cache to me to sign. Pity about the burrs in her sandals! TFTC SL

A good quick find here LuckyL10n though my feet were full of burrs as I hadn't anticipated the GZ and was caching in sandals. Foolish me. What else did I expect in this poor dry land? TFTC SL as SG

TFTC. This is our first GCA cache. We are in Winton for the Outback Festival. We have another 2 GC caches to find but need to wait until early next week so that we can fill in our 366 day calendar. Hope to do many more GCA caches as we travel the country.

GCA 1599. Found this one with albida33 and Sol de Lune as we were with the CO when he placed it.

Dropping these off sure broke the trip up - as we hope it will for others !

TFTC LL !!

Alice trip 2017. Day 25. Today Sol de Lune, Luckyl10n, Fitzy_1965 and I left Winton and headed further southeast to Longreach to look around town then on to Barcaldine to finish the local caches there. Great to be there when this cache was placed.

Thanks

With the first to find now claimed, we can claim our find as well.....

Great that we could place a few new Geocaching Australia caches in outback Queensland to help boost our numbers out here. Hopefully others can use these caches to break up the drive through the area....and enjoy the area at the same time. Clan CerberusClan Cerberus
