Gnoo Blas #1 Traditional Cache

This is one cache in a series of  twenty caches placed around the "Gnoo Blas" racing circuit in Orange BYO pen. The series begins and ends at this spot with total dstance just over 6 Klm on designated walking tracks

This cache series celebrates the “Gnoo Blas” Motor Racing Circuit which circled the bloomfield site and operated from 1953-1961. The track was the starting ground for Australia’s Sir Jack Brabham who famously went on to win the Formula 1 world Championship three times in 1966, 1967 and 1970. The total distance of the track is 6.34km and the lap record of 2 min 7.4 seconds was set in 1960 by Jon Leighton. The Gnoo Blas Classic Car Club is keeping alive the memory of the old Gnoo Blas road racing circuit with an annual classic car show and circuit tours. This event is held in February each year. This series begins near the Start/Finish line of the old circuit at a sign containing information about the circuit. The caches are all located within a few metres of a walking/cycling track that follows the circuit and winds through the Gosling Creek Reserve that borders part of the circuit. Many, but not all of the caches are wheelchair accessible. There is plenty of parking at the first cache if you want to begin there and follow the circuit. If you want to make a day of it why not begin and end at the Gosling Creek Reserve in between caches 9 and 10 where there are excellent BBQ facilities, a great children’s playground, toilet facilities and several other caches. As you complete this series you will pass within a short distance of the following geocaches that were present before this series was created- why not give them a go as well? “PSYCHO” “Clock In” “Mrs Mutton’s Corner” “Dog friendly” “Blair Witch Forest” “CLARETS” “Bulldozer’s Revenge” “Little amongst the Big” “Clock In” “Sir Jack Brabham”
