A journey around some historic sites in Lipson

In 1872 the township of Lipson was surveyed in order to supply the nearby Burrawing Copper Mine. The town quicky grew having many shops and a pub,but the mine closed in 1875, leaving the town to slowly decline over the next 100 years. The Lipson Show continued until 2006(back ?), but undeterred the locals recognise Lipson as a beautiful place to live and continue to improve the locality.
The caches are all located within 2km of lipson, many are micro but some are larger, some decrypting is also required so beware it may take some time. The final cache is a treasure chest holding small foreign coins (try to keep this theme) which is protected by my loyal armymen.
Take your time and enjoy Lipson!!!

Cache Logs

August 9 by Mr Walker (195 found) Popped out to finally make a start on this one. Coords a bit off by my gps, but location was obvious. Some of the camouflage had fallen down, but i replaced it. Got instructions for next leg, but had to head in the other direction st the time. This is close enough to do one afternoon, when i am finished with the bandar. [view this log]
