Geocache Description:


The Jolly Brolly Folly (JBF) Series of Geo Art, depicting the Umbrella used by Mary Poppins. Is a series of caches around the Graham Creek and Mungar region of Maryborough, QLD. It will take you over a day to complete.  There are areas that may require a 4WD vehicle to access depending on the weather/seasonal conditions, and some of the access roads are narrow, so please use caution when attempting.

Depending on the season that you find this cache, you can be walking through waist high grass so we recommend stay alert when traversing.

Please ensure that the lids of the container are replaced tight to ensure a waterproof seal to maintain the dryness of the logs.

There is no pen, or room for swaps.

07 Jun 23-  Please do not do these caches at night, as we have had a few incidents of local farmers confronting cachers who were flashing torches, concerned that they may be accessing their property to steal live stock. 

THERE IS NO REQUIREMENT TO ACCESS PRIVATE PROPERTY.

The cache is NOT at the posted coordinates. Trust us.

Please Note: The stamp is not a trade item but intended to stay within the cache.

You will need to solve the jigsaw puzzle to work out the location of the cache itself.

Alert: You are about to open a webpage that contains details needed to find this geocache. As the geocache owner, I ensure that this site is safe to open. It has not been checked by Geocaching HQ or by the reviewer for possible malicious content. Open this webpage at your own risk.

Mary Poppins

 

The Story Behind This Mural

The tree with 17 cherries represents the street address 17 Cherry Tree Lane.  The red cow who couldn’t stop dancing?  Bert creating his pavement paintings which then transforms into a ribbon shape as Bert and Mary step into the painting and have a tea party.   In the background, is a carousel.   Next to the tea party you’ll find the compass that Mary and the children found, along with the four animals they met on their quick trip around the world.  The seven stars represent the Pleiades with the animals dancing at the zoo in the grand chain for Mary’s Birthday.  This mural also shows Mary and the children heading out on an adventure, with Mary looking uncharacteristically happy, and Jane and Michael watching Mary float away on the westerly wind.

Thankyou to the Maryborough Mural Project Committee for allowing us to use this image.
