Geocache Description:


The land Gregory Hills stands on was once the Farm attached to St Gregory’s College. This particular area was part of the farm’s rodeo ground* … hence the street names here. However, taking note of the name given to the short one-way thoroughfare running between McDonalds and Bunnings, and comparing with the relevant YouTube**, I suspect there is another dimension to this. Perhaps it is a subliminal thing for the person originally suggesting the name, or perhaps they live for opportunities such as this (how else to explain Crispsparkle Dr in Ambarvale?). Either way, it justifies this series of caches, which celebrates some of the old-time (think 1950s-60s) westerns. This was a period when the western was a dominant genre of entertainment on TV.

Bronco ran from 1958-1962***. His name is celebrated in the short thoroughfare referred to above. The title character was played by Ty Hardin (who would later star in the Australian TV series Riptide). Bronco was a former officer in the Confederate Army, who now wandered the old west, and in his adventures he came across numerous legendary historical figures such a Billy the Kid, Jesse James, Wild Bill Hickock, and Theodore Roosevelt.
On our TV’s in Australia, Bronco, Cheyenne and Sugarfoot all appeared in the same time slot on Sunday night … sometimes one, sometimes another. No way of guessing beforehand which it would be, though Cheyenne seemed to be more common.

May be a stretch if you are vertically challenged.  BYOP.  Please roll log tightly and insert into lid of cache before closing. Please replace in position as found.
