Current Goal

To travel around Australia picking up stories and photos along the way. Mission #1 was completed and now I would like Jon's Sticks to travel to the center of Australia.

The multi cache located there is called Geocentrical (GC7CED). It has only been found 6 times since 2002! Since this cache is not visited that often Please dont leave the sticks in the cache...just photograph them there. Someday I hope to travel to this cache myself. Huge Bonus points if you can get a picture of the sticks with Jon Farriss :) Would like this TB to stay in Aussie please. Thanks!

About This Item

INXS TB

I'm from Massachusetts and the biggest INXS fan from this area!!! I love Jon Farriss the drummer of INXS. I'm a huge fan and was so excited to have this TB made for me by a fellow cacher! I look foward to watching the sticks travel around Australia.

They are a homemade replica of the sticks he is currently using on tour.

It's first mission to reach and be photographed at Perpendicular Point in the Jervis Bay area has been completed. Thanks to everyone that helped them to reach the lighthouse :)

Kinda lonely with the rest of the INXS T.B. Tour group gone - just the drummer left now...
We'll see if we can get INXS closer to it's goal before we drop them off for the last time.

After finding this cache, we went to Whale Beach for some pictures. Whale Beach was the site of the very first public performance by The Farriss Brothers (before they became known as INXS) - 16 August 1977.

A nice hike after lunch was in order for the INXS T.B. Tour. After seeing the cache guardian (a huge skink), nobody wanted to stay at this cache, let alone hang around to get their picture taken!

We stopped by a special INXS site on the way home. On the 1st of September 1979, INXS played at the Ocean Beach Hotel in Umina Beach, New South Wales, Australia. This was their first official gig as "INXS" instead of The Farriss Brothers Band (They played the Ocean View Hotel in Toukley one month later, on the 10th of October). T.B. INXS was at the Ocean Beach Hotel in Umina Beach today!

  • First gig as "INXS" Umina Beach, NSW Oz
  • The Ocean Beach Hotel has quite a few bars!

The INXS T.B. Tour picnicked in this beautiful rainforest. We thought we might loose a member or two at this cache, but instead gained a new member: "Farley the Travel Sheep". Welcome Farley! Shougal and Farley are now inseparable.

Unfortunately, critters have been busy nibbling holes in this cache - so it's on to the next one.
