Geocache Description:

The cache is a small container, inside the woolshed.

This cache used to be a puzzle cache but now it's a traditional cache, with a whole new GZ but using the ORIGINAL container, to be found on the previous GZ, but moved a little bit laterally! Ironic. Those of you who did the original cache will see exactly what I mean!

And while it goes against my grain to set this one in the "no dogs allowed" area, I did vow to find where they were relocating my GZ, and now that I have found it, it's not getting away without a cache!

The Woolshed is open during the day and you can enter. The rangers know all about the cache!!! "Oh yeah, that GPS game thing, yep, the cache is in there somewhere. John put it inside with the other one." - this was how they described my outdoor version I'd put in this second location, not knowing that the rangers located the original cache prior to dismantling the shed from its former location, and kept it!!! When they restored the shed in this new location, they put the cache back in there too!

Baaaaaaaaaaa! Did you know that goats are hairy sheep, rather than woolly sheep?

The cache previously used to be at the coordinates

S35 09.746 E149 08.798 - this was determined IF you knew the following information:

"The shearers staged a strike by way of expressing themselves and Macpherson's woolshed at Dagworth was burnt down, and a man was picked up dead... Miss Macpherson used to play a little Scottish tune on a zither and I put words to it and called it "Waltzing Matilda" - this was written by Banjo Paterson

The lyrics to the abovementioned song were believed to have been penned in 1895

A likely measurement for most merino wool is 0.02mm

The chance that a white ewe (whose sire was black), mating with a black ram will produce a black lamb is 50%

Sheep horns are made of keratin
