Geocache Description:


The cache is located in bushland within Minnippi Parklands, and can be accessed from several points.Situated behind a well known snackfood processing factory. The inspiration for this cache is the location,and of course the iconic character used in advertising and promotion. "The Gobbledok".Threre is so much interest in the Gobbledok,that he has many online fan clubs and his own Wikepieda page.

The Gobbledok is a fictional advertising character in Australia from the late 1980s to mid 1990s. It has re-emerged in a new marketing campaign in May 2010. It is a pale brownish alien with an obsession for eating Smith's Potato Crisps. The Gobbledok subsisted on Smith's chips because they reminded it of its home, Dok the Potato Planet. This small irregularly shaped world can be found to the southeast of the Large Magellanic Cloud, and is theorised from spectral analysis to be almost entirely composed of complex starch molecules, within an Acrylamide crust, hypothesised to be due in part to the extreme effects of the planet's mostly Triglyceride atmosphere, and extremes of seasonal temperature.

The Gobbledok became famous for his catchphrase "chippie, chippie, chippie!"

The cache is loaded with goodies for young and old at heart. Please feel free to swap anything of value.

Warning :Ensure you have applied insect repellant before attempting this cache ,Especially after rain,as the mozzies are big enough to saddle .
