brisal5: Sadly some waypoints have moved and the GZ has swallowed the cache several times. Time for it to go and a remake with other murals around the town.

Geocache Description:

Nairne currently has 15 historic murals placed around the town.  This walk takes you to them all as you explore the historic township of Nairne.


The 15 murals are located at 9 locations around the town.  You have 10 virtual waypoints as one has recently been moved after the old school was sold to a private buyer and the mural located across the road with the Albert Mill mural.  To walk to all the waypoints is about a 2 kilometre loop.  Alternatively you could drive to  wp4 (Byethorne Park),  then to wp3 (Railway Crossing), then to wp2/wp5 (Old School / Albert Mill) before parking at the designated parking spot and walking only about 500 metres.

At each waypoint you will find murals depicting the history of Nairne.  Print the photoboard before starting to make this cache easier.

At each waypoint you will find one of the photoboard faces.  When you do so, use the letter of that photo to answer the corresponding questions from A to J.  It will be to do with either that mural (or one in that group of murals).
