Current Goal

To remain within 50 kilometres of the marine environment and visit and be photographed with as many chronometers and coastal town clocks as possible in Australia and around the world.

About This Item

John Harrison was the inventor of the Marine Chronometer or high accuracy timepiece with a special mechanism for ensuring and adjusting its accuracy. It was used in determining longitude at sea or for any purpose where very exact measurement of time is required.

I picked this coin up as a FTF prize and want it to roam the coastal regions of the world and report back via the logs and photos of fellow cachers.

    Nice little cache find with Pancake in the perimeter fence of the Tambourine Mountain Heritage Centre. An awesome storm throwing nature at us, we persevered to come up with the goods and to give some more miles to the TB!

    A quick stop still on Mount Tambourine. Roaming wider afield … after managing NOT to be exterminated by the resident Dalek … came to a great view and easy if busy cache hide. Pancake & I live to cache another day and take the TBs on further adventures!
