Successful journey of 47000 miles!

[+gporr]

Of all my geocaching adventures, I think I'm going to have some of the fondest memories of a little koala TB named Jarrah. He was released more than 6 years ago, and I had the privilege of bringing him one step closer to getting back home. As of yesterday, he is now back home in the hands of his owner, after a successful journey of more than 47000 miles, from North Carolina, to Australia (with a number of other intermediate countries), and back.

 

Seeing "Recently Spotted: In the hands of the owner" on the TB's page is so cool!

 

Here's the TB's page:

Now that is great news! I love hearing those stories, especially after my TB was stolen with ZERO miles on it!

 

So glad that the TB made a hugely successful journey.

Hooray! This gives hope to trackables around the world!

Wow that is fantastic. Hmmmmmmm I wonder if mine, released in Australia last year will do even a fraction of that.

Congratulations to the TB. What a great sport/hobby geocaching is.

I have just been looking at the photograhs of the koala's travels, it really is great that cachers took the time out to take fun photographs of him...............now if only the koala could talk! What tales he could tell you. Enjoy your rest little koala.
