Description
J & J's sixty-fourth geocache hide. A cache with a view...usually of cows.
The cache is not at the listed coordinates, which are for a dairy museum in Prospect Hill.
Only the local dairy cows know the whereabouts of the cache. If you have the capability to talk to the cows, then you will find the real coordinates for the cache.

Once you've followed the cows instructions, you will find a regular sized Sistema container painted in cammo colours. It contains a logbook, pen, dessicant and stash note.
Happy hunting!

Found It!
I remember finding this "code" many years ago while on the wrong track trying to solve a Freddo cache. At the time I thought, "why hasn't this been used in a J&J puzzle?!" But now it has been! Today I finally got around to visiting GZ and quickly found the cache!

Planning for this trip began in June - we knew we would be heading to Adelaide but which way would we go? This depended on our targets. We looked at our list of unclaimed Dragon Zone trophies and picked out several that we could feasibly collect the required number of finds to qualify for the trophy. We then had to identify caches that would meet our targets and from here it was time to plan a route that would take us past the caches we had identified. Any caches too far off our route were discarded and replaced by suitable alternatives.
All was running smoothly until the Christmas in July game was announced. We would be travelling in the latter part of the game. It was difficult to include this in our target caches as we did not know what was required. Once the game began and we understood what we needed to do we could then add other caches to the target list.
We were just getting our heads, yes all four of them, around this when more Dragon Zone trophies were added. Which ones could we meet and which should we ignore? Do we need to add more GA caches and/or do we need to change our route and our targets? We decided on our target list and then our route and timeline. We had just drawn a line under everything and were about to begin printing our caching booklets, route maps and target lists when caught@work published 23 new caches on the Western Ring Path. Earlier we had decided on the caches in the Edgewater Walk series. If we added the new ones on the Western Ring Path and as many of the CCC series as possible, we could probably reach the required number of caches to qualify for the Dragon Zone trophies “Restraining Order Stalker” (Find 100 DZ caches hidden by the same cacher) and “Obsession!=Insanity” (find 50 DZ caches in a day). As the latter would give us our first Blaze Trophy, it was decided to alter everything to include the CCC series.Four Fun, in South Australia published five puzzle caches that would bring good points in the Christmas in July game. Can we solve the puzzles? A few more adjustments to the route and the caches to find list and we would be off.
Having successfully completed our Melbourne challenges and gained our first Blaze Dragon Zone trophy it was time to focus on the Christmas in July game. We started on the Kenneth Stirling Conservation Park puzzle caches recently published by Four-Fun. With Four-Fun's puzzles found it was time to concentrate on several other GCA caches nearby.
As we had a break from grand parent duties today we looked for some caches to fill requirements for the Christmas in July game. We had noticed several new publications and three moveables that were reasonably close to one another. Firstly we had to solve this puzzle.
On first examination of the puzzle data some parts made sense but the others appeared to be inconsistent with our understanding. As the daughter of a dairy farmer Mrs y'stassies was not sure she would be able to successfully communicate with the cows as it had been over fifty years since she had left the farm. After several attempts we tried to match the moocipher onto parts of the published coordinates. That gave us a number of values for GZ and with some further exploration of the remainder, we soon had a set of coordinates which looked feasible. To our relief, the coordinate checker agreed with us. We still haven't identified the rules governing the code but we had the coordinates for GZ.
As the cloud lifted and the sun appeared we headed to this group of caches. We were keen to find this one and enjoyed the trip to GZ particularly the old gums and the flights of local parrots. The area close to GZ is very pretty. It was only a short walk to GZ where we found a well hidden cache container. This container and its content were in excellent condition and to our delight the log was blank giving us a {FTF} at 10:40. After replacing the cache as found we were ready to continue our exploration of this area. Mrs y'stassies was relieved to see there were no cows near by so she did not have to try out her rusty bovine communication techniques.
Thanks J_&_J for another challenging and interesting puzzle and a well placed cache.
