I came here with Moneydork, Tounga and sushilord.
As I had found this cache about 2 years, I didn't give away anything as I didn't want to spoil it for them.
After a period of searching, they returned to the car and said 'we can't find it'
I got out and looked with them for an extended period of time but we could not find the first WP.
Unless it has changed, that should be darned hard to miss!
There was little bits of police tape hanging from bushes in the area.
Hopefully this WP is still here and we just missed it as it was an awesome piece of work!

We kinda did Mythical Creatures #1, then this one & then #2. Not in order. So glad we adventured on to do these because they were just amazing. Great thought put into these. Kids said these were the best by far of what we have seen. While driving up there was so many kangaroos and so big, bouncing away. We were looking all in the wrong spots to start with, had a look at the hint & thought of looking elsewhere on the opposite side. Geomum spots this creature thinking that could be it & yes that was it. Great cache, loved it. Got the answers to WP2 & off we went. Got there & same, the iPhone was not doing us any favours today but still came up with the find. TFTC
Took SnapHappy1 Pathtag but unfortunately left nothing (we didn't have anything in car).

We weren't sure what to expect here, but we weren't disappointed with another UdderChaos cache. Quickly found the coordinates at WP1 and then hightailed it to GZ before the mythical creature could get us. Thanks for the cache.
More aimless pointing of the geomobile along forest tracks that looked like they led to a cache was occurring this morning
Eventually the geomobile ended up at the coordinates to find Boitata.
What was a Boitata ?
I figured it out when I saw the waypoint in all it's PVC glory
Having not read the cache notes (normal for 'If') I proceeded to examine the 'cache' for the logbook
Odd... no logbook !!
I admired the engineering of the what I thought was the cache for a while.... and discovered something interesting
Verrrrry funnnnny !!
I wish I could think up things like this
Off to find the cache at last and I discovered from a distance that forestry is doing what forestry does.... foresting [:o]
Somebody had parked a couple of dozers very close to GZ.
Those really big dozers with the big cog wheel, mounted high up, that drives the tracks and forms a neat triangle
I wasn't sure if anybody was about, so parked the geomobile on the main road and hoofed it into GZ through the bush
Cache found safe and sound [^]
Thanks for one of the funniest caches I've seen in a while

Last day in Nelson after Happy Pants headed home this morning... Decided to grab some caches whilst attending the Big Little Event... Found with 3InOne as we meandered through these pine plantations...
Made a nice straight forward find... Clever & well constructed container @ WP1... Get's a Fave from me for your efforts...
Took: Nothing Left: Pathtag Signed Log
Thanks UdderChaos for the cache & bringing me here...

Once again what a better way to spend a Sunday. Being out in the nature enjoying the scenery. TFTC
Sunday at BLE and Huurtle, Dennisc52 and I set off to replace a cache which had been lost in the recent bushfires
There were a few caches on the way and, luckily for me, the boys were happy to head for Dartmoor where a couple of months ago in 40 odd degree heat while riding my motorbike back from Halls Gap I had stopped briefly, seen the nearby caches and just been too darn hot and tired to get any...... so today was the day [^]
Later on, we met up with Honeysucker and firesafe and continued caching until well after dark: 4WDing on dirt roads, beaches and through the forests [^]
A HUGE day of attempting 47 caches: 45 successful locus cache events [^] and only 2 DNFs
I would love to add a picture here of Honeysucker attempting to brag, however it is too much of a spoiler
Loved this cache and the clever means of providing the coords for GZ! [^] [^]
Thanks for the effort you have put into this fun series

Found on our trip to the Little Big Event with Firesafe Hurtle and locus another really welldone cache good to see
Found with locus cache, Huurtle, Firesafe and Honeysucker while attending the BLE at Nelson. Loved the waypoint hide. A favourite from me! TFTC.
Spent the afternoon getting a few caches with other teams from the BLE.
Very impressive WP1. TFTC.

Locus Cache, DennisC52, and myself joined up with FireSafe and HoneySucker to continue caching. This time on our way to Beaker's 'Border Bottom' cache and Margaret Rose Caves area....
The WP with gz coords goes straight to the pool room for a fav. Love your work. Great cammo

This was a fun cache. Firstly, we got to do some 4x4 driving, which wasn't strictly necessary, but was fun. And we really enjoyed the clue hide method and cache. Thanks UdderChaos.
Big little event trip for us making up some numbers. All these caches are taking us to great places we will come back to again one day. Some good 4wding here and a favourite for us.
Found with SnapHappy as a part of the Big Little Event. Missed the road in so took the long walk through. Enjoyed WP1, even though we missed it first time round. TFTC
Found at 12:53 PM GAFF1 in the company of Phetlern, Squalid and ruralslicker. A fearful looking item indeed. We just poked at it at first - just to make sure . Very nice work indeed and thanks for the boitatá story. We also enjoyed a bit of 4wding getting to the final.
Thanks UdderChaos,
Thanks UdderChaos,

Hoping to collect some more smilies; on a Sunday run from the Big Little Event with Pprass, Rural Slicker and Squalid. OH WOW wpt 1 really gave life to the myth. It was fun extracting the co'ords, then off to GZ for a quick find.
TNLN . . SL . . Thanks for the hunt UdderChaos.

We drove quite close to the first waypoint and encountered the guardian of the GZ coordinates. It was most impressive. Then we were going to continue on towards the cache itself but noticed that some forestry workers were fixing their bulldozer near the spot. This meant that we had to park by the track and then go in stealthily by foot. Luckily just as we approached GZ they finished their maintenance and drove off, leaving us to find the cache and sign the log in peace. TFTC. We will not forget this one it deserves a favourite point from us.
At first not sure how to get through wp1.

Found with uteboy308, loved the first stage of this multi, appreciate the time and effort put into this cache.
On the way to Portland for a swim meet, and what a great excuse to do some caches along the way.. and our second wedge-tail sighting, this one bigger than the first, and absolutely magnificent soaring through the sunny skies! Really enjoyed this one, beautiful area, awesome use of PVC a favourite from us, TFTC
Baby asleep in car for this one so I sat with her while Steve headed into the bush to get what we thought was just a simple WP... a little rustling and out he appeared with this mythical creature strangling him, it looked like an epic battle from some mythical poem. What a laugh, even the nearby Kookaburras were giggling. Fantastic work, loved it, a favorite from us. TNLN. TFTC!!
TFTC nice first stage, took a bit to find second stage for some reason left gc took gc
A fun find on a wet and blustery day! Loved the first stage and the second had us all over the shop (plus a quick detour to grab new batteries), but there was no way I wasn't going to get this one
Left Elmo and Took Sponge-Bob

Thanks again UC

TFTC Awesome as always really enjoy your caches so much fun you never know what to expect lol
Found out with Hiluxury. The first multi I have found where the most interesting part was the first waypoint. It was really really good Udder Chaos. Enjoyed it and the peaceful surrounds. A favourite point from me.
