With a population of only 100, Brungle is one of the area's smallest towns. The town is located between Tumut and Gundagai and features beautiful green hills and country views. Make sure to check out the old church building while you're in the neighbourhood. If you take a drive down the "main" street, you might find your way to this micro geocache. We still managed to squeeze a few swaps in, but bring your own pen. Please make sure to place the cache back exactly as found.
Part 2 of the Orion Constellation Cache Series.
All based in the Riverina area.
Orion, our team's namesake, is one of the easiest to spot constellations in the summer sky. On a clear night, keep an eye out for Orion's Belt: three small stars in a row and two larger stars, Rigel and Betelgeuse, at their diagonals. The Orion Constellation will help you explore the sky, and we hope that the caches we placed in this series will help you explore some of our favourite locations in the Riverina area.
Mintaka is the smallest major star in Orion and can be found on one end of the belt. The star is the dimmest in the constellation (out of 7 major stars) and 900 light years away from Earth. The word Mintaka is Arabic in origin and comes from the word for belt.
