never done before with a geocaching event, is the geocaching on an historical diesel train. this train will leave on a historical journey from stanthorpe to Ballandean. stopping 3 times to allow geocachers to open the app and solve the adventure lab, but we didn’t make this easy for you, the adventure lab is not multi choice meaning you will have to rely on your knowledge to get the answers solved. there will be a special prize for the ones who can complete all 5 stages once we get to Ballandean. we stop in Ballandean for over 15 min allowing yourselves to get a drink at the local pub and explore the area. there will also be a unique and quite difficult geocache for you to find at the Ballandean station. because what do geocaches want ,oh thats right to find a geocache. why is this geocache so difficult I might add? because with 120 other geocachers looking at (that’s how many spots we have on the train). it won’t take long till someone finds the cache. once we have had our little adventure in Ballandean and we have boarded the Tain. we will award the winners of the ad lab trivia, and a cheat sheet will be given out to everyone else to allow you to be able to complete the adventure lab. during the train trip there will also be mini games going on as you enjoy this unique never done before historical train trip.

The southern downs rail has brung a lot of tourism to Warwick, Ballandean and hopefully soon if the track reopens then Tenterfiled can be included in that list of extra tourism. I and another committee member have done one of the tours and the train was pretty much booked out. we have done many of the years and it has always proven to be popular people spend at the towns they visit including myself.

Ballandean is a small town in Queensland home of the Ballandean dino and the Ballandean pyramid. see pictures bellow
