Description
Been a little while since I've been out to this reserve, so headed in today to see what was new. As it turns out, not that much really.....well, apart from the sign at the gate saying that the reserve is closed between 3.00pm and 7.00am for some 'maintenance' that is going on. Off course, the maintenance is the Kangaroo cull that is on, so on that note......please, DO NOT ENTER BETWEEN THE TIMES mentioned above. All other are times are fine.
So, for the GZ......make your way to the posted co-ords where you'll find.....not surprisingly, an information board. From this information board, answer the following questions and you'll then find the cache, under some rocks, under a low branch, at S35 12.ABC E149 10.DEF.
The Mulligans Circuit Walking is 12klm and should take you A hours to complete
The Goorooyarroo track will take you to many other tracks. The Dams Valley is B klm return
C = 0
The Mulligans Bird Walk is a D klm return walk
In the photo showing the Sugar Gliders...are there 2 in the photo? E = 3 if yes or E = 6 if No.
The North Mulligans Circuit is 5.5 klms and should take F hours.
The GZ is not far away, so take the short walk and grab yourself another multi find. Plese ensure the cache is covered before leaving.....there is pleny of natural camo around.

A familiar walk in for this one. Grabbed the required info and headed off to GZ for a quick find on a nice container. When walking back to the car we grabbed the info for the other Multi as we knew we'd be back here tomorrow after the Australia Day Event.
Thanks SDL !!
Collected info for the shorter multi on the way out as we will be back this way for an event tomorrow.
I am using Geosphere Ap for the first time and clearly I need a bit of practice
.Its already starting to heat up. I saw several joggers setting off up the hill (and they probably think MY hobby is peculiar). I was worried about the one reference to a picture as there seems to be several that have deteriorated but it was all good. Nice big container after a gentle climb. Thanks for the cache Sol de lune
Surrogate Ridgeo-pup pic attached.
A nice spot at GZ.
Thanks
Exploring Goorooyaroo and had to stop to collect this one along the way. We worked out the clues and then off to find the cache. The container has some water in it but the baggy is doing its job and the logbook is completely dry. We emptied the container as best we could. Thanks Sol de lune 
so we made our way to gather all our info. then the walk to GZfor a *FTF*
there was lots of Orienteering going on here so we had to join in
Thanks for the hide SDL
The car park was as full as! An orienteering event was in progress, so we just blended in with the crowd and made our way to the way point. With the info sorted, we wondered off to GZ, dodging a few of the orienteering muggles along the way. A nice quick find and a blank log greeted us. Yeah a joint *FTF*.
Thanks Sdl for the cache and another visit to the "Goo".
