All ages love Geocaching. There are generations and there are generations! Same with drinking bottles.
In general we think of a generation being about 25 years - from the birth of a parent to the birth of a child. We also generally accept that the length of a generation in earlier periods of history was closer to 20 years when humans mated younger and life expectancies were shorter.
Current generations are:
- Silent Generation
- Baby Boomers
- Generation X
- Generation Y
- Generation Z
What generation are you?
Your cache is in a slightly less “muggle-trusive” place, and contains a log book and pencil.
Series Description: Barcaldine lies at the crossroads of major transport routes north-south/east-west; on the major transport routes from Townsville to Adelaide and Rockhampton to Darwin. Road Trains, some of considerable length, travel these roads 24/7. Caravans galore during daytime hours highlight the significance of the area to the tourist trade.
Along each of these routes is a series of caches highlighting the centrality of Barcaldine as an access hub in Central Western Queensland.
The Western Series of six caches commences on the approach to Barcaldine from Longreach, some 8.5k from the town, and end at the outskirts of the town. All caches are located on the left (northern) side of the Highway so there is no need to cross the Highway. Roadside parking is available at all caches, even for caravans.
If you are travelling out of Barcaldine, please reverse the direction of some aspects in these descriptions.Not all points will be visible when travelling west, as they will be on the opposite side of the road facing away from the direction of travel.
