Found by Roma and Max.
A visit to our Mildura family provided us with the opportunity to seek some local hides in between our festivities.
We also found the deceased ovines first then it was Roma's keen eyes that discovered your well hidden container.
Thanks Regentparrot98 for this challenge.
Cheers,
from Romax.

Visited trackables making their way to the 2 Million Cache.

Found this morning while Wazza9 was looking at GZ, I looked around after finding the dead sheep for a sticky stick, then my quick eyes saw what we needed, then noticed the other stick, it could have come in handy this morning. TFTC

Only located this with the help of a previous finer.
Definately not in correct spot and maintenace needs to be done.
Council needs to clean this area as being used as a rubbish tip for dead sheep.

28-Jan-13
we looked with someone that had already found it before hand like month ago but now the item is no where to be found needs to be looked into by person who set it
 
19-Jan-13
After staying the night in Mildura doing a few easy caches before we leave Mildura but we need todo only a few as time is against us so we will see how many we can do before we leave. At GZ there was couple dead sheep carcasas and was not feeling to good with the smell so decided to leave this one for another time.
 
15-Jan-13
Nice little hide.

Boxhead Jr. found it

Pity about the smell from the XXXX that has dumped dead sheep nearby
 
31-Dec-12
Found some sticks, then "the" stick. TFTC.
 
17-Dec-12
Found by Mary & David at 1255. Tried to get to this one from the east at first, but ran out of road at the caravan park. Backtracked and came in from the west with no difficulty. The dead trees here and there, with btheir spindly branches, looked like skeletal fingers reaching for the sky. Our thanks to Regentparrot98.
 
21-Oct-12
Found the stick but cache had been removed.
 
20-Oct-12
Saw it by chance when looking around the area.got distracted by some steal in a salt bush then turned around and there it was. Lucky it was sticking out. Tftc
 
08-Oct-12
Found the sticks, and then some more sticks and then the right stick. Was a bit puzzled and then read the previous log. Nice to collect this one before the rain comes in the next few days. TFTC Regentparrot98
 
03-Oct-12
The hiding place was not there when I checked today. Muggled? There is a log placed at the spot so still operational until a new cache is made.
 
12-Sep-12
Log is virtually unuseable.
 
08-Sep-12
Found while visiting Mildura for the paddleboat celebrations. Took a little bit of finding but enjoyed watching some boats pass by while we were looking. Obviously no TBs or geocoins present and the log is virtually unusable but we did enjoy the hide. SL (sort of) TFTC

After getting settled into a caravan park in Mildura it was time to head off and get some caches - this was one we targetted and were able to find. Good to see such a nice lots of caches and creative hides. We thought this one was pretty cute and deserving of a favourite point.

Haha Love the cache!! We couldnt sign the log as it was all soggy and couldnt be unravelled. We replaced the sheet for you regentparrot98 , we signed the new one and kept the old one -we will give it to you at the 'meet the cachers dinner". Great cache. Thanx.

3780th total find at around 12:12

I (Ian) got really frustrated with this one. There's a place for micro caches, but I don't think bushland is one of them.
I had to phone a friend for a hint, and eventually found the cache some distance from the initial search area.

Took: Nothing
Left: Nothing
Thanks Regentparrot98 for the cache
 
13-Apr-12
Nice hide. Took a little bit to find. I think I was making it harder than it needed to be. TFTC.
 
12-Apr-12
DNF the cache but Rediguana found a geko to play with until it was time to move on.
 
12-Apr-12
DNF - at night.
 
12-Apr-12
Had a good hunt for this in the dark, but couldn't find it. Expanded the search area but still no joy. In the end I found a gecko, and played with it for a bit before we got bored and decided to try another cache Wink Cheers Gav
 
27-Mar-12
Much easier in the day time. found pretty quick - I will be throwing my socks away and I've bought new show laces.

In the dark - none of the sticks were giving up their secrets. Maybe a search in the daytime will prove more productive.
