BBQ and Loo @ Moo Moo Mooball, New South Wales, Australia
By Romenfree on 10-Mar-11. Waypoint GC2Q0PT

Seems this one has gone walk about, I am no longer in the area so unable to replace

Passing through today with Nyssaflutterby. The garden the cache is in has had some major work. The shrub the cache was under is gone and all the others have been pruned. Lots of new mulch too and despite a bit of a look, couldn't find this one. I had nothing with us to replace today but would be good to see if this one can get replaced soon.

Unable to locate

We thought this may have been an easy find but not so.

geoboy wanted to do this one without assistance and poked and prodded about the leaves for awhile but came up empty handed.
He gave up too easy but we will be back another day

I seem to have been doing a lot of scratching around in leaf litter these last few days. No success this time around , previous log DNF . Think I'll put it on watch.

Despite a good look we didn't come up with the cache but after reading previous logs we feel we mightn't have looked far enough. Thanks anyway Romenfree.

We were back in this area today, so thought we would try again, as previous log, was a find. Geohubby soon found the cache. TFTC. Finally a smiley face for us.

Passing through the area with Egginthesky and I pulled over so she could hunt for this one. I didn't realise it was disabled. The cache is there, exactly where I found it late last year. All in good condition inside and not in any need of maintenance.

I was too quick to conclude this one had gone missing, I was happily surprised when Captian Terror posted he had found it in good condition. So go get it!

My apologies ! Seems this one got away. I am unable to return to maintain or replace the cache as we are traveling indefinitely.

A quick pitstop to look for this cache on the way back to Brisneyland...

Nothing behind the BBQ! Nothing in the leaf litter!

No luck for me today

Although we looked and looked, we also couldn't find the cache. CO, may need to take a look and do some maintenance.

Didn't happen for me today. Too wet to scratch for too long. Another day. Thanks for bringing me here anyway.

Had a stop for the interesting amenities but sadly did not find on this occasion

We hunted for this cache about 18months ago without success. At the time the cafe was open and we were constantly interupted by muggles. Today we were back in the area having travelled cross country from Uki. Sad to say the closure of the Moo Moo cafe made today's search a little easier - no muggles.

As others have commented, this cache has you scratching around like a scrub turkey. We were just about to give it up again, when a scratch 'too far' revealed the container. Yay!

Thanks for the cache.

Just realized we hadn't logged this one. There was a bikie near GZ but MrsBG told him we were on a Car Rally and we were just grabbing the next set of clues. He laughed and wished us luck.
Cheers from Browngang

A cache and dash on route back from Mt Warning. Shame that the Moo Moo cafe had to close as we loved going there.

After waiting for a muggle to finish her cigarette, I then had the opportunity to act like a bushturkey and scratch around in the leaf litter. Scratched in all the obvious (to me, anyway) places, but nothing came up. Scratched further afield, and then then cache was uncovered, in the REALLY obvious place!!!
The loo nearby is a beauty!! Everything is automatic! Very odd place for it though. The old cafe over the road is closed and up for sale. Any takers?

I'd not been to this place before but one of the things I love about this country is the golden names some towns have, this is no exception. As we crossed the road, Whint reminisced about this area in days gone by. At GZ I had a look at the cache page and we made like a pair of bush turkeys. After some minutes and a feeling that we'd razed the area twice, we weren't sure it was still here. I must have scraped a bit further afield than last time and the cache came out into the open. All in good condition inside. Rehid as found. TFTC Romenfree

I remember when I was younger and driving through this little town all the time... I was sad to see the Moo cafe and trinket shop had closed Obviously the downfall of building new highways that bypass these unique towns

I was with the Captain of Terror as we made our way to GZ... after quite a bit of scratching the Captain finally came up with the goods... thank goodness as I was starting to think we weren't going to find him... cute little cow TB was in there which I let the Captain move along But a very fitting home for him

tftc

Jan was scratching like an old brush turkey but she found it
I see the shop across the road is up for sale once again............alas I think it has had its day

TFTC,
We have passed this cache many times but there have always been mugglers at GZ. This was our chance to grab this cache and since we had a Mad Cows TB that we wanted to leave here, it was all the more important that we had success.
Mission completed when Nana Nelle scratched around in the correct spot while I went to where the GPS was sending me with plenty of Mooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.

Found with Jellybean&Turtle, nice easy find. TFTC

7/21 Thanks for our stop in Mooball - we are a couple of NZers over here for a wedding and took the day to go exploring by cache. Found this a delightful stop even if the music in the loo is a bit loud. A town that boasts of a pub, swimming pool, a dance studio and cow painted lamposts is a bit oddball. TFTC

Found it with The Zappers TFTC

=) Was great returning to Moo Moo town again after many years... found the cache then had a great meal across the road TFTC =)

Found with ayepeacee and apc junior on our awesome road trip weekend. I cant even tell you how disappointed i was to discover i was unable to access the supertoilet. Disappointment galore. However my outlook on life improved once we finally found the cache. Its trickier than it seems. Thanks for the cache Romenfree! ^^

Just love this little town a pity it isn't still on the tourist track. TFTC JenneG & Budgy

Found it!

TFTCSL had to try out the loo. Pity moomoo is no more!

Took a bit of scratching around but found it quite quickly. While searching a group of about 30 bikers passed and stopped off outside the pub.

Down the coast from Brisbane with IolantheK visiting friends holidaying at Brunswick Heads. After our visit we decided to collect some caches on the way home.

Made our way to GZ. After a lot of searching, and reading of logs made the find.

The cache is dry and in good condition.

T-Tech and I went down to Brunswick Heads to visit some friends who were on holidays, and did some caching on the trip back home

This took a bit of searching, but T-Tech eventually got the goods. Pity about the café being closed TFTC, Romenfree.

tftc. Enjoyed the loo. I hadn't seen one like that before. Geodaughter of cause had!

Worth a visit for the one of a kind toilet block!
Picked up TB but left TB at nearby Moo as not so much rubbish there and nice and quite. Thank you!

3rd time lucky great spot

Re-visited this one on our way back to the GC. Such an easy find as it was well exposed. Re-hid it a little better, maybe a magnet would help it stay?

Stopped here on our way south. Could not locate the original so replaced with a new one. Had to rush as we were muggled by the garbage man. Please cover well as this is not the best hide.

Was put off by the previous DNF's and consequently didn't look too hard. Pity because I now see it probably was there. Still a nice spot but a pity that the roadhouse is closed. Perhaps an opportunity for some enterprising young person?
Thanks anyway Romenfree

While waiting for geohusband to finish with the musical loo, I had a quick scout around for the cache but to no avail. Went back to the magical loo only to find hubby was still inside but recorded announcement was repeating "warning, warning this toilet is about to self clean!" However such a lovely helpful warning announcement is no help to a deaf person such as my hubby, Alls well that ends well especially considering we found the nearby cache after 3 previous DNF's. It was not where part of the hint suggests. Brought through personal mileage GC and TB. Tnlnsl Tftc

After searching for a while we realised that it probably wasn't there as the previous logs indicated. Loved the cow spots everywhere, and the musical loo.

In spite of scratching around like a bushturkey! Loved the musical loo 'tho!

Didn't find this cache today .Hubby brushed around like a wild turkey in the garden behind and to both sides of BBQ. Will try again next visit to the NSW border.

Nice place to stop for a break - enjoyed a BBQ on the way home TFTC

Stopped here and started the BBQ and when everything was sizzling away, decided to check out where the cache is....oh, it was just there all along!!

Thanks Romenfree, we love this place!!

found it after a long scratch around loved the loo at moo moo

Was past this cache today and replaced the little fellow with a fresh log and eclipse tin TFTC Romenfree

Thanks for the cache.

Looked all over with my brother and the geokids. Couldn't find it. Will have to come by another time.

An accident had closed northbound highway and traffic was diverted at yelgun so i actually was forced to drive right past this one. Looked around for about 15min but couldn't find it. Lots of loose leaf litter.

Someone had been nice and parked a truck trailer so that we were obscured from view from passers by. Unfortunately this did not help our search attempts and we came up emptyhanded. Looked a few times but to no avail.... Someone did try out the fancy Loos and was impressed although a little concerned the automatic doors were going to lock them in.

We had to limit ourselfs on search time but even with the hint this one didnt show itself to us.

COULDNT FIND THIS CACHE TODAY UNFORTUNATELY

Dug all the leaf matter. With 5 of us we had no luck.

Drive past most days but as I car pool not really doable. Left early and alone today so easy to stop and grab. TFTC

Drive by here on my way to and from work but usually car pooling. Coming through alone in the early afternoon it was easy enough to wait between passing cars and grab cache. TNLN SL TFTC.

Easy cache on our way South. Didn't even leave the car, just pulled right up to the site and the kids did the rest TFTC. Nelsoncrewau

A bit of a search but quickly uncovered it

Interesting place for a bbq

Found with devil dog

Good to see the Moo Moo is back in operation and locally owned. Took us a little while to find the container but eventually had it to hand - TFTC.

Found once we had a stick

Two coaches, with the drivers sitting next to the cache, so I grabbed a pie across the road and kept moving

Nice quick grab on our way back from our trek up to Way-gawn.
nice hide.

Found it No. 3647 ... quick stop whilst haqving morning cuppa ... took ball and left Chinese Coins ... TFTC

Had to come back after getting the hint for this one (no mobile coverage at GZ). First time we searched we didn't find it but with hint in hand and a big stick we soon found it. Nice spot. TFTC.

This looks like a great little spot to stop for a BBQ. (but of course no time for that.... there's caching to be done)

Some officials were still packing up stuff from a bike riding event from earlier in the day but none where near the GZ so it was all good.

The cache was found and the log was signed. Thanks for the cache Romenfree.

We putted into town.. and there was no way we could near this. There was some pushbike freak show going on in town - and there were people everywhere. We came back later in the day when there was minimal muggles. Radnoski hunted and couldnt find it.. I suggested another area and and we found it safe and sound. It is in good condition. TFTC Romenfree

There was a family having a picnic in one of the shelters when we came through, but we put on our best smile and just casually inspected the BBQ to find the cache.
Cheers.

Despite the nearby muggles we managed to make a quick find and were on our way before they knew what was happening!

Quick find. Parked our vehicle as to hide us while searching for the cache.

I drove straight past this place yesterday, and forgot that there was a cache here. I was working in Murwillumbah today so I decided to stop and look for the cache this time. It didn’t take too long to find either. The cache is in excellent condition. Didn’t need to check out the loo today – sounds like a fancy contraption though! Thanks for another great cache, Romenfree!

out with the boys for the day

Find No 18 for today

TFTC

This is worth stopping just to check out the loo. It's amazing. Ran into the Fergclan here and swapped geostories and some hints. Nice to meet some other cachers. Thanks for this cache. It will be a talking point for some time to come.

Pulled up on the opposite side of the road to do a u-turn and low and behold someones signing the cache on the BBQ.
Well hello goodlookerz, Fergclan here, that saves us looking for that one. Spoke to them for 20 minutes, Signed log, and off to the next one.

Was down this way for a FTF this morning early and had a little time afterwards so went after two other caches I hadn't yet logged, - this being one of them. Such a beautiful drive down through this area. It was dark on the way down but light enough now so plenty of gorgeous scenery to admire. Coming through Burringbar there was the most glorious scent of camphor. I suspect the piles of wood chippings I saw had been Camphor Laurel trees. Fantastic! Thanks for bringing me Romenfree. A big spider in a web on the bbq gave me a fright as I made contact with his/her web, but fortunately I was able to avoid being completely tangled in it on my way to the cache. After seeing the large spider I was a little cautious then so I used a stick to poke around and found the cache fairly quickly. All is well with the cache, it's clean and dry - well inside anyway.
Took: pathtag
Left: marbles and a stress ball

Saw this cache pop up while travelling from the Sunshine Coast back to Lismore. However by the time I got to the cache I had missed the FTF.

Thanks for the cache

FTF! Love this spot and great to see the mooball cafe open. Deposited puddle gang's tag which we found on a recent trip to Canberra. Thank u. Slinkymalinky.
