The theory of symmetries of systems of coupled, ordinary differential equations (ODE's) is used to develop a concise algorithm for cartographing the space of solutions to vacuum Bianchi Einstein's Field Equations (EFE). The symmetries used are the well known automorphisms of the Lie algebra for the corresponding isometry group of each Bianchi Type, as well as the scaling and the time eparameterization symmetry. Application of the method to Type III results in: a) the recovery of all known solutions without prior assumption of any extra symmetry, b) the enclosure of the entire unknown part of the solution space into a single, second order ODE in terms of one dependent variable and c) a partial solution to this ODE. It is also worth-mentioning the fact that the solution space is seen to be naturally partitioned into three distinct, disconnected pieces: one consisting of the known Siklos (pp-wave) solution, another occupied by the Type III member of the known Ellis-MacCallum family and the third described by the aforementioned ODE in which an one parameter subfamily of the known Kinnersley geometries resides. Lastly, preliminary results reported show that the unknown part of the solution space for other Bianchi Types is described by a strikingly similar ODE, pointing to a natural operational unification as far as the problem of solving the cosmological EFE's is concerned.
