Humpty Has in deed left the building - Boxthorn has been cut off and poisoned very close to the cache and the cache appears to have been collected at the same time. I'll wait and see what happens to this area as some development is currently underway with drainage works. - you can still drop by and write your name on the egg - he's still there.

Found @ 11:45 on the way home from the Birdsville Races
Looks like this may be a kiddies play area.
Thanks cruisinblues

Humpty went out to Snakes and Ladders many years ago but was never put back together I think now he is out at Wilsons junk yard.
Easy find

I think Humpty's had a great fall.
We saw him 18 years ago but I didn't think it was here, I guess things have changed in that time.
Thanks.

Found it No. 6459 ... poor humpty is broken ... Took TB and LN ... TFTC cruisinblues
I was more worried about all the Kings horses and all the Kings men. But they were nowhere to be seen either. Left TB. Thanks cruisinblues.
Nearly forgot to log this one hope the roadworks dont get it great find to get a feel for this great activity
Of things past and present. Dropped off the Firetruck TB. Thanks for relieving the memory even if I did not experience Humpty Dumpty.
Poor humpy!
He is a star so I left him a big one. No pen so I could not record the visit. TFTC and history

Just catching up on few logs that were missed.
Found in the dark , got lots of prickles in shoe laces ,road works had commenced but was a while ago....humpty's shell cracks had already separted i think?
Thanks for the memories...... I remember humpty, when we were kids we used to visit him and the farm with relatives when they came from afar. I've patchy memories of the tours - they used to tell you all about the eggs, the egg laying , hatching of little cute chickens, and they shone a bright light through the eggs. Interestingly I can vaguely remember a comment the last time i was there -made by the man doing the tour ( think it was a kindergarten tour ???.... ??? ... baby brain has kicked in and i cant recall clearly lol! ) anyway the comment was "make sure we tell all our friends and family to visit or he wont be around much longer"...... Sadly economics must have played a hand in his fate.

Poor Humpty - had all the Kings Horses and all the Kings men and we could't put Humpty back together again,
This is my favorite Mildura cache so far! I had to sneak through all the construction roadworks and through the prickly vine but was well rewarded for my efforts! Took nothing left a pony. tftc
Had to go for a jog to get this one as the road works had close off our access point.
All good and got to Humpty in the end, but couldn't help his plight.
Thanks for placing this cache.

We guess that:
all the kings horses
and all the kings men
are still looking for the Humpty
that left way back when
Took: Nothing
Left: Smiley Badge

Found poor humpty in the dark after netball. got scratched by a vine with mean spikes!
Oh poor Humpty, he has had a great fall! I visited Humpty over 20 years ago, back in 1989, and I wanted to bring some other visitors a few years ago and wasn't able to find any mention of him in any tourist literature. Now I know why! Cache #1,205.
Looks like he has developed a split personality. We like a cache with a bit of lateral thinking. TFTC.
Getting closer to a ftf found in the dark. It appears Humpty has fallen off the wall at some point love the cache. I remember coming to the fun park as a kid
We had heard about Humpty, but it was long before we moved to the area. The muggle workmen were a little bit further away today.
