Around 3 hours to auto-publish time.
This is what you can seek come midnight tonight.
There are around 45 physical caches and 100 or so virtual caches in both urban area as well as sensitive or remote areas where physical cache placement may be problematic.

Yeah, we even arranged one in Hobart. Interesting historical connection there.

Now if only I had the time and money to do the whole trek from one end to the other. Would be a great fun trip. Who can do it first, that would be worth a special prize!

Now that's one mighty PowerTrail!
How do you get a GPX file of just the B&W caches?

You'll see that a new cache type has been created for the B&W series, so it's very easy to set up a query, listing only these caches.
blossom* has already built a query if you want to use that one:

Happy exploring!

Just out of interest... and because I'm too lazy to go through each cache just yet... and having all of October off...
![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)
... can you actually follow pretty much a road cache to cache on this series or will navigation be a lot more involved then that? ie Do I need a camel or will a car / 4x4 surffice and be able to do a pretty striaght line?!

Actually that is not as bad as I anticipated. Some look very difficult, but most seem reachable given time and care... hmmm I smell a plan hatching....

A good book for background reading is "The Dig Tree" by Sarah Murgatroyd. Came about 2002 I think. Its a bit of a warts and all retelling of the expedition.
Anyhow looking forward to doing a few in a couple of weeks in Melbourne.
