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!!!

Left Tumby heading for a country town.
Noticed a sign and couldnt resist cheching it out just in case and after doing a lap of the point of interest the last place I look yielded an item with a clue.
So back on the trail we set off for the next waypoint. Liked it and liked the little challenge it presented but we found we had to go back and headed off again.Personally I wished that had been the end as it would have been a lovely finish for us.
Got over the barbed wire and managed to spike my foot on a thorn and ended up with lots of blood in the shoe as I dragged it out. Then at GZ the bush attacked me and I had welts all up my arm for the next several hours, Apart from GZ(because it hurt) I really enjoyed the little spots you took me too just didnt realise how much time this one was going to take. Hows that for jagging it.

Well this one certainly might be for locals.
It certainly reminded me why when you are travelling there are some multi's it might pay to skip.
Did the first bit then found the second one and came to a screeching halt.
Pity we were enjoying it but I cant even begin to imagine how to decypher that on the road.

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.
