Welcome to the Solar System Drive, a scale model of our solar system in Country NSW, 38 million times smaller than the real size. The caches are designed to be family friendly.
Officially it is called “The World’s Largest Virtual Solar System Drive”.
This model has only just been completed.
Where possible the caches are a regular size made from painted PVC plumbing fittings.
Each cache is titled “Venus by Bluedog” etc.
We have placed a series of traditional caches at the sun and some of the sites of the planets.
We chose to do the planets on the southern edge of the model as they are the closest to home to maintain.
At each location there is a large sign which contain a scale model of the particular planet and related information.
Here is the complete listing of planet locations and the ones at which we have placed a cache.
Happy Star Tracking across the Central West !!!
You could spend the best part of a day to do the caches we have placed in one trip
or take a few more days and do all of the planet locations.
