Geocache Description:


This is a bi-continent / two country buddy multi-cache; one in Texas and one in Australia.
If you are in the Central Texas area, go to the posted coordinates and write down the coordinates you find at GZ. Then you will need to contact a cacher in Australia who found the coordinates over there and swap coordinates.

The posted coordinates of one cache will give you the final coordinates for the other one. But unless you have unlimited funds and/or frequent flyer miles, getting a buddy in the other country will be your best chance of getting the coordinates for the cache near you!

The sister cache for this geocache is GCAHTPP called - "Where In The Heck is Hutto?"

When you get the coordinates for the sister cache in Adelaide, please post a note on that page telling geocachers there that you have their final and would like help from them to get the final here in Texas. If no one offers to help you in two weeks time, post another note and someone over in Australia (maybe that CO) will help you.

i hope you have fun and maybe find a new friend in Australia!

Adelaide is the capital city of the state of South Australia. Adelaide is situated between Gulf St Vincent in the west and the Mount Lofty Ranges in the east. The city was named in honour of Adelaide, queen of King William IV.

The city was founded in 1836 as the planned capital for the only freely-settled British province in Australia. Colonel William Light designed the city centre and chose its location close to the River Torrens. Light's design, listed as national heritage, set out the city centre in a grid layout and entirely surrounded by a ring of park lands.

Early colonial Adelaide was shaped by the diversity of its free settlers, in contrast to the convict history of other Australian cities. From this religious freedom and progressive political reforms Adelaide became known as the "City of Churches".

The original first nation inhabitants of the Adelaide region are the Kaurna mob. The area of the city centre and surrounding park lands is called Tarndanya in the Kaurna language.
