How Geocaching Works

Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions in our disclaimer.

Geocache Description:


Welcome to the ‘Map of Australia’ Geo-Art.  Each cache is named after the closest town or City on that part of the coastline.  Each puzzle is different and is ‘hopefully’ designed to help you learn a little about different types of puzzles.  Some will obviously be a little harder than others but should be doable with a little patience. You will find plenty of puzzle solving tools in your toolbox.

The cache is NOT at the published co-ordinates.

 

Brisbane Valley Rail Trail.

The Brisbane Valley Rail Trail, when completed, will be a 148km recreation trail from Wulkuraka to Blackbutt.  It will follow the old Brisbane Valley railway line and provide walkers, touring cyclists and horse riders with an opportunity to experience the history and landscape of the Brisbane Valley.

The trail is for walking, cycling and horse riding only.  The trail surface is gravel and unsuitable for road bicycles or personal mobility vehicles. NO motorised vehicles of any type are allowed.

 

Allow 4 hours plus if you are doing the complete series on a MTB, a full day if walking.

As with any outdoor walk, take plenty of water as there is NO water along the BVRT, (only in Toogoolawah) and sun protection as it can be very hot along the BVRT with very few trees to hide under.

MAGPIE ALERT

Also note that MAGPIE season is September through to November and there are about 6 or 7 pairs of magpies along the route. So take care.
