Knit one, Purl one Echuca, Victoria, Australia
By gregandjudi on 06-Dec-11. Waypoint GC38CZZ

Artwork is aging & has been vandalised on a couple of occasions. Would not like geocachers to be blamed for any damage so a new hide being created close by.

New hide equals another smiley

Artwork damaged again. Will need to find another hind nearby. Doubt geocachers are responsible for damage, but wouldn't want to think we are blamed in any way.

A very sad face from me for this one, looked for a while with no luck, decided to return to car and found a parking ticket was too excited to look and didn't read the sign properly!

hard work avoiding muggles in such a high profile area spent too much time looking for this one, Whoops $50 later for a parking ticket, still no cache

Great tree. Good idea since it was a chilly day. I wonder how the birds handle their new perch? Hope they can darn.

After tea we decided to find a couple of caches and this one proved to be a reasonable easy find.
It took a couple of minutes to search the spots before the cache was found.
We were expecting something a bit different I think.
Thanks for showing us this really cool tree!

Found with Mum & Dad.
What a cool tree!
I liked it.

B2 is very interested in yarn bombing and has participated in this strange and wonderful art form. Lots of muggles in the street, so using the camera took photos of area, to advert suspicious behaviour. The cache was unexpected, when the area was searched for the first time, it was ignored because of scrunching sound. On second inspection, the cache was found by B2 and log was signed. Thanks gregandjudi for a very enjoyable cache.

5/08/12 7:01 AM Find #1186 I've never seen a tree wearing a jersey! I didn't think I'd find the cache but I did .... this is my last day in Echuca after a short visit from Melbourne. I like it here and will come back in summer. Thanks for bringing me here gregandjudi.

Spending the weekend in Echuca/Moama for a getaway so greetings from Melbourne! Took a bit of feeling around to find this one but got it in the end! Yay! Loooove this artwork! Never seen it before! SL. TFTC.

Forgot to Visit our Garmin TB.

Toke a little while, my dad found it

No luck for the Platypusses today. Tried allover the artwork, must have looked really sus. Next time.

I think my fav find found with Matt. TFTC!

Beautiful day in Echuca. Quick grab on this unique piece of art. Thanks for taking us there.

don't know who started this bit of fun but it certainly is a talking point tftc

Can't be done on a busy weekday during work hrs!!

Found this one while wandering around, waiting a few hours for our train back to Melbourne after a weekend at the steam rally.
While I'd heard of yarnbombing before, it's the first time I've seen it done, and I only had to travel a couple of hundred km to see it.

Lovely knitting.

# 206 - We absolutely loved this (as regular travellers to Echuca, we'd never even seen it!), and can proudly tell that Bendigo has now embraced this creativity and is doing it too - not that the two are comparable! A favourite from us, thanks for bringing us here gregandjudi

A little bit of a search for this one in the dark, but found it in the end. Thanks for the cache.

Dropped another log sheet. Tree vandalised again so placed in new spot.

Mmmmmmm!! Me thinks my belly is empty.....

Had a look for this one while on a flying visit. Could not find this one even after consulting the hint. Where I thought the hint was referring to it was empty. Thanks for bringing me here anyway

The GeoJuniors posed for a photo to decoy while the cache was retrieved. This art excites me.... pity I cant knit! TFTF

This was such an artist piece of work. I love knitting and this is one of the best articles I've seen. Thanks gregandjudi for bringing me here to find this cache. Worthy of a fav from me.

Find #882 on a overcast but dry Monday. After handing back the Houseboat, we decided to grab a few caches before we went our separate ways!

Found with Happy Pants and Happy Feet1.

Thanks to gregandjudi for bringing us here. Nice spot for a cache... A lot of work has gone into this one! Worthy of a favourite from me...

Took: Nothing
Left: Nothing

*Cache Condition ~ Fine

Waiting to attend to maintenance under the cover of darkness. But has been too cold.
Decided to just do it, who would think it odd doing some hand sewing on a tree in broad daylight anyway LOL

By far one of the most artistic finds to date, awesome hidey spot, very clever, I hope that it stays in the same condition for some time, break out the knitting needles, ye hah. TFTC

Ready to go again, please handle with care.

Will attend repairs to this cache ASAP. Sorry for the delay.

Enjoyed the tree, found quickly and logged, not many people around as it was a hot day and shops were closing ... TFTC

Vandals have attacked the tree overnight. Mongrels

Cache check & TB dip

great cachie, signed log, good clue
TFTC

A nice easy find. I hope this artwork doesn't get wrecked by cachers or locals. Amazing. T4TC

Got into Echuca nice and early. Found nice and quick. Signed log and
replaced in hidey hole. TFTC Gregandjudi.

I'm impressed with the cache surroundings. Well done so nice to look at.
Signed log.TFTC

Spent some time caching to and from a family camping trip to Pretty Valley near Falls Creek.
Cheers.
TFTC.

Found on our way to Murray Bridge.

Great cache. I hope it lasts.

Found with AliCopter and Family. Had a few to knock over around the Echuca\Moama area. Had a friend come that hadn't been caching before. He enjoyed it too. What a great hide.

Ha ha ha - very funny! Love it!

Log moved to a different place as original container has been muggled.
Thanks Romax for alerting us to situation, and finding a suitable place for a new log.

Found by Roma and Max.
What a marvellous place for a geo hide, something we wouldn't expect to see again in perhaps a lifetime!
We have seen similar groups combine their skills on bed spreads and the like but never as enterprising as this!
Thanks gregandjudi, and in particular Judi who we know has made a contribution to this masterpiece herself.
Regards,
from Romax.

No workers round this morning. A quick easy find.

Did not find today. We got in early but workers were earlier than us
will try another day.

This cache marks the 1118th smiley to be added to the WazzaAndWenches profile.

After my log note earlier today I received a visit and a bit of stirring from Judi during the morning. Sure enough, the council staff were still beside GZ and the cache was inaccessible. When I knocked off work this evening there were quite a number of muggles walking around the area so I elected to head home and return after a bit of tucker.

Eight o'clock and the area was all quiet which made for a fairly quick find. I was a bit surprised to be the first to find considering there are other cachers in the area with more spare hours in the day.

Quite a neat hide with a bit of non-original "knit one, purl one" thrown in.

Thanks gregandjudi

Less than 100m from work and I'm unable to have a look till later today.

The local Shire is on a tree planting mission only 10m from GZ. One employee is working and four more are "supervising".

I'll have to wait till they depart.
