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.
Please ensure that the lids of the container are replaced tight to ensure a waterproof seal to maintain the dryness of the logs.
Depending on the road condition it may be impassable and a short walk will be neded to locate GZ.
There is no pen, but there is room for small 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.
As a Letterbox Hybrid cache, you will find a logbook AND a Stamp. The stamp is not a trade item but intended to stay within the cache. Use it to stamp your own notebook, and stamp the logbook with your own personal stamp, OR alternatively, simply date and sign the logbook as you would normally do at any other geocache. Again, the stamp and logbook remain in the letterbox for the next visitor to use.
The cache is NOT at the posted coordinates. Trust us.
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.
Wharf St 1888
The Story Behind The Mural
This mural depicts Wharf Street as it was in 1888 during Maryborough’s boom period as a migrant port of entry. The great sailing ship, Eastminster, had arrived on 29 January carrying the bells for St Paul’s Church of England bell tower paid for by Edgar Aldridge as a memorial to his wife, Maria.
The three-masted, iron ship (background left, at Walker’s Wharf) made numerous trips to Australia and New Zealand carrying immigrants but on her return passage to Newcastle she was lost with all hands sometime after leaving Woody Island on 17 February 1888.
The ship founded after being caught in a cyclone off Yeppoon on the Central Queensland coast. The Captain, Daniel Rowland Rees, is said to have ignored bad weather warnings.
