Being suitably inspired by the Presidents Trail in the High Desert of California, I felt compelled to place a Prime Ministers Trail in South Australia. The difference between the two is that these are all small containers (not micros) and will not be along a power line so distances and locations will vary.
This series has 27 caches placed over 42 kilometres between Two Wells, Mallala and Owen – Enjoy!
Julia Gillard was sworn in as the 27th Prime Minister of Australia on 24 June 2010.
Ms Gillard was born in Barry, Wales in 1961, the daughter of a nurse and aged care worker. She and her family migrated to Australia in 1966 and she grew up in Adelaide. Ms Gillard was educated at Mitcham Demonstration School and Unley High School in South Australia.

In 1983 she was elected National Education Vice-President of the Australian Union of Students (AUS) and moved to Melbourne to complete her degree at Melbourne University. Later that year, she was elected President of the AUS.
After graduating Ms Gillard began work as a solicitor in Melbourne with the law firm Slater and Gordon. She became a Partner at the firm in 1990. Ms Gillard's work at the firm focused on Industrial Relations. She represented employees who had lost their jobs, been injured at work, battled unfair dismissals and workplace disputes.
From 1996 to 1998 she served as Chief-of-Staff to the then Opposition Leader of the State of Victoria, John Brumby.
