Geocache Description:


StArnaud Ramble Series 21 - Gamma Crucis 

Nothing like caching the Southern Cross while under the Southern Cross.

Gamma Crucis (γ Crucis), officially named Gacrux, is the nearest class M giant star to the Sun. The distance to Gacrux has been determined using parallax measurements made during the Hipparcos mission, which yielded a value of 88.6 light-years away from the Sun. With an apparent visual magnitude of +1.63, this is the third-brightest star in the southern constellation of Crux, the Southern Cross, and one of the brightest stars in the night sky. A line from the two "Pointers", Alpha Centauri through Beta Centauri, leads to within a few degrees of this star.

This StARS will take you along some Farmers track and back roads around the outer St.Arnaud Area.
