Description

Giggles wishes to travel throughout Australia, and finally end up at the Gnome capital of Australia; Glenbrook in NSW. He also wishes to attend the 7th National Gnome Convention, which is scheduled for January 2010. You can read details of this here. Giggles also loves a laugh, and especially likes to show some teeth to the camera, so go on, take a picture of him. Please treat Giggles with care, we don't want to shorten his lifespan. Did you know the average lifespan for a Gnome is 7.67 years?

So go on, go and find giggles, and move him on along his journey.

I confirm that the cache is located within road reservation. The timber fence is located on public land. Please refer attached image.
 
09-Jul-21
Very busy road with high speed traffic, and very few spaces to park. The co-ordinates took us to a place with a fairly new (?) timber fence which appeared to block access to perhaps their property. There are also lots of decomposing bush fluffies and overgrown blackberries. Adventurers are needed.

Hi Aussie's O
A very early start to today
Met up with Budge and headed toward Launceston
Our main objective for the day was Rocherlea Trail
But on the way we would get those that were accessable
Half way through the walk we contacted the CO who met up with us and then our plans changed and we had anjoyable afternoon in the good company of Icybeetas
Really good to meet you today Ian - Thanks for sharing you arvo with us
For the day I netted 33 caches and a heap of moveables to boot
That effort saw me walk 10.40 kilometres
This cache was found quickly - it was Sainted when I met Icybeetas
Thanks for another great caching day Budge
TFTC and cheers

This moveable cache was one of a group in a bag that arrived on our doorstep. This will help our tally in the Blitz game we hope, moving them all out again will be a big job but all part of the fun. We'll get them out again in the next couple of days. Thanks for the cache
