Oops! Better late than never right! Without further ado, our belated February Geo-Discovery…. 
At the intersection of the New England Highway and Thunderbolt Way, you’ll find the small historic town of Uralla. Many know this to be the last resting place of the infamous bushranger Captain Thunderbolt, legendary for being the longest roaming of his kind and for his escape from one of Sydney’s geo-meccas – Cockatoo Island! Additionally, the town and surrounding region is also well known for its rich goldrush history. In geocaching circles however, Uralla is synonymous with some standout caches courtesy of local caching team geono.
Nestled in the New England region, between Tamworth and Armidale, Uralla is a 5 and a half hour drive north east of Sydney via the New England Highway. However those willing to make the journey will be rewarded with a treasure trove of quality, hand crafted and unique gadget caches!
Given the nature of these hides – we don’t want to spoil the fun and give anything away… 
but we certainly feel that the following caches are worth discovering, whilst exploring this beautiful, historic town and region and picking up some history along the way!
