Nashville - Keith Urban Traditional Cache

The Nashville Series of Geocaches is all about Country Music and highlighting great places to just sit and listen to it. Each of these Geocaches will be dedicated to a Country Music performer or writer that may or may not bear some relevance to the location it is placed in.

It is said that Country Music has a story in every song. A funny story, a sad story, an angry story, a happy story, a revenge story, a reminiscent story or just a plain old ‘Somebody done somebody wrong’ story. There is always a story to tell and it can usually be followed quite easily.

A few years back, I was suffering from very high levels of workplace stress resulting in Depression, Anxiety and quite a few Anger issues. Psychologists have attributed my switching the musical genre I listen to as a major step in overcoming some of these issues.

The theory goes that songs that have a story and that you can sing along to (like nobody is listening of course!) provide a necessary distraction from the stressors that can manifest themselves into high stress levels. Singing along quite loudly can also be used as a ‘relief-valve’ for stress that is already present.

I am now very lucky that I have a job driving Road Trains through the outback and my office consists of just me singing at the top of my (very bad) voice.

Although Keith Lionel Urban was born in New Zealand, he was raised in this area and went to high school just near this cache. 
This cache celebrates "Caboolture's own" Keith Urban.
