The Solar System
This is a small series that displays the distances the planets are from the sun on a scale of one meter to a million kilometers.
So every meter you walk is a million kilometers.
Rutherglen's Bottle represents the sun on this scale. Except that it should be about 1.4 meters in diameter not 9 meters.
There is a traditional cache for each planet (even Pluto gets a guernsey!)
When you reach Pluto you have traveled 5.9 billion kilometers.
Enjoy the walk (bike ride, or most likely 4WD).
The Planet
Mars has inspired curiosity and imagination for thousands of years, including theories of advanced civilizations, however there is no evidence of life on the planet. Its famous red colour is due to iron oxide on the surface.
The tilted axis creates seasons and there are often violent dust storms. Its spectacular features include the immense volcano 'Olympus Mons' (27km high) and the vast canyon 'Valles Marineris' with a length about the distance from Sydney to Perth (4000km).
The two moons, Phobos and Deimos, are actually small captured asteroids.
