Speed flower arranging in Devonport (thanks Redtag for that idea) followed by a night hunt.....

Create a bouquet of flowers that are to be found in 12 caches hidden around Devonport all within a two time limit. 2:30 pm start then about 5 - 5:30 pm. Barbeque at Neptune Spirit of the Sea Barbeque unless the weather is foul then it will be in a scout hall... 7:00 for those who are truly commited: Followed by a night time cache hunt. Six camoflagued caches in the dark.....<a href="../../../cache/ga1573">GA1573</a> Teams are required with a non navigating driver. Agenda: 2:30 Have fun/ register/say hello 3:00 Geocache hunt Have fun Tell tales Have fun/ Judge flowers 5:30 Cook meat, share salad,vegies,dessert. Have fun go home or 7:00 Cache at night.....see GA Event <a href="../../../cache/ga1573">GA1573</a> Have fun Tell more tales Have fun. House keeping: As cache/event setter/organiser I cannot accept any responsibility for any problems encountered during the day, including motoring accidents, speeding, allergy to plants  etc etc. Your safety and wellbeing is entirely your responsibility if you take part in the event. By setting out to this event, the driver is responsible for any third party action that may arise during the day. I, as organiser, am not responsible for any actions by yourself at all. The Driver has to apply to all Tasmanian driving laws and therefore as such take no part in the treasure hunt (looking at GPS, reading maps, making decisions etc. He/she can take instructions from passengers as to which direction to drive in). He/she must be in full control of the vehicle and even though the event is time and score based all speeding laws must be followed, and obviously drive slower if the conditions require. Co-ordinates must be passed if the road conditions or traffic does not allow safe stopping. It is the driver’s complete responsibility for the event and his/her passengers. Driving faster than you would for an 'average' day out is the driver’s responsibility, and I suggest for this event that it should not happen. Strategy will play a bigger part. (thanks pjamesk for this bit from the inspirational Hunt and Munch GC19J92)   In reality you are going to do a fair bit of foot work..... Could you bring a dish to share (salad, vege or dessert) and let others know what you are bringing when noting your intention to attend. The BBQ area has covered eating areas, toilets, lots of parking and a playground. Atrocious Alternatives If the weather is atrocious then the City of Devonport Scout Hall in Addison St is available. (S 41° 10.428 E 146° 20.664). There is plenty of room in the main hall for kids to run around in and a separate kitchen, dining area. The Hunt The hunt way-points will be uploaded to this page about 10pm the night before. (Friday 28th August) There will be only 12 way-points but extra bonuses for photos etc. Questions concerning the way-points will be given out at registration. The time limit for teams during the hunt will be two hours. (that is ten minutes a cache...) One team per car. The driver drives the car, and everyone else plays with the GPSr/other stuff. The range of way-points will be within 10 km of the BBQ. Remember to obey rules of the road and the land (i.e. you should not trespass) during the hunt. Remember the hunt is for fun, not for glory. Special prize for coming 5th. And peoples choice for flower arranging both real and cached...... You will need: GPSr Digital Camera Map of Devonport (UMD Map Number 1 should be necessary) A container for plant matter. Gloves if you think /know you are sensitive to plants Walking Shoes (strappy sandals and comfy slippers may not handle the bush) A torch for the night hunt. Tell Tales The more entertaining, the better they are. Questions about the day. Please ask questions earlier so they can be addressed rather than leaving concerns to the last moment.

Any excuse to race around a city with a bunch of like minded people tearing parts off plants is appreciated, but a smily makes it even more worthwhile. It was interesting to see parts of Devonport not previously experienced, such as Moore Lane where children play and people leave things on the roadway like chicken coops. Thanks Blind Betty for driving and Dippy for navigating and thanks to Carroleyre for organising the event and providing coffee, food and a place to chat. Oh and for the record Redtag, we got 6 awards!! :D 2009-08-30T00:00:00Z twitties Found Thank you for a wonderful afternoon at our first geosport event.We met some great friendly fun people. To the CarrollEyres,WHOW!You score a perfect 10. All the preparation,it must have taken a great amount of time. Thank you also to the CE from Merry and Pippin, our other team members. 2009-08-30T00:00:00Z robtas Found A great event very well organised. Put my previous event to shame. Promise to do better next time.........honest. Good to catch up with some new cachers, great to see the family involvement there. Those southerners thought they would walk away with the lot and almost did! The newbies, the twitties stole the show. Well done guys.(personal note..watch em!) Thanks to the caroleyre family for all the effort they put in. 2009-08-30T00:00:00Z Dippedidooda Found What an absolutely outstanding event! One of the best! The organisation put into it blew my mind - for the caching side of things, but also that there was the warm fallback venue when the weather has been so horrid, the provisions to ensure kids were amused for all those hours, plus the hot coffee, seats to sit on, tables to eat at, snacks to graze on, and the pooled salad bar was GREAT! Everything combined to make it a pleasure to attend! And to top it off, there wasn't a drop of rain while the event was on. I loved that the event was about speed flower arranging, and that winning arrangement could have won prizes in a floral art show I'm sure! Well done to the Twitties/Merry Pippin who took away first place on their maiden event! It was great to meet a bunch of cachers that were new to me, and great to team up with the Cheesy Pigs and Blind Betty - and great to see the Red Tag team too (in the rear vision mirror). A lot of fun. Thanks CarrollEyres. 2009-08-29T00:00:00Z DKnT Other Myself and my 5yo will be attending and teaming up with dean_erwin. I have made the chocolate ripple cake that D promised! Hope the rain stops soon 2009-08-29T00:00:00Z forthferalz Found Thanks to all for a top night - always so nice to meet new cooks/cachers (the ripple cake was awesome!) 2009-08-29T00:00:00Z Blind Betty Found Another amazing event organised by CarrolEyre. Thank you so much for the hard work you put in to making the day an outstanding success! It was great to catch up with everyone after such a long break. Thrilled to see the weather held out for us too! The wettest I got was crawling around on the ground doing the night caches. (Oh and a puddle or three I may have run through - oops) Thanks to Dippy and the Cheesy Pigs for making the inside of the car as much fun as the outside. We now know that you have to drive slow in Moore Dr because children play there. (I hope that's the right name, surely I can't have forgotten such an important lesson already?) We also know that the poppy's in Devonport taste very metallic, all roads eventually lead to Steele St, Percy St and Ronald St and flower arrangements can actually be improved by the addition of tomato sauce. Looking forward to the next event - I'll dust off the kayaks! 2009-08-29T00:00:00Z madchilli Found Thanks CarrollEyres for a well thought out and organised event, we had a great time and to finally meet the faces behind the nicknames that we have spoke to via email, phone or found caches belonging too. Thanks for the great food and we cant wait for the next one 2009-08-29T00:00:00Z dean_erwin Found We had a great time - and it was really nice to meet the people behind the names we have seen so much of recently. Looking forward to the next event! Thanks to everyone for being so friendly and welcoming, and to CarrolEyre for all the hard work :) 2009-08-29T00:00:00Z DKnT Found Had a great time meeting so many cachers, many of them far more experienced cachers than myself. The mini cacher had a great time! We're really looking forward to the next event but this one will be hard to beat. Thank you for organising such a great day. 2009-08-29T00:00:00Z red tag Found to quote Dippy "What an absolutely outstanding event! One of the best!" and YAY red tag has thrown the monkey off her back by coming in 4th!! Thanks 3daygrowth for teaming up with me and special congrats to Tasowls for coming 5th! I learnt a lot from this event... 1. Tomato sauce makes people do weird things 2. I cant run faster than Dippy 3. Not to vote for something unless you know that 'one' is the lowest 4. The CarrollEyres can throw on a spread that beats any restaurant in Devonport 5. Robtas cant read the time 6. Blind Betty isnt blind so she's a definite consideration for teaming up with in the future. 7. That the twitties and Merry and pippin are the sweetest couples and deserved to win. 8. and finally.... driving 3.5 hours for a CarrollEyre event is well worth it. Thanks CarrollEyre(s) for all the effort you put in ... ALL my certificates are proudly on display 2009-08-27T00:00:00Z Dippedidooda Note I think I can answer that - it's in red under "Agenda" - the hunt is between 3 and 5:30pm, then the BBQ, then there's the night time hunt which is now listed under a new event. 2009-08-27T00:00:00Z CarrollEyre Note Geosport in Devonport (and the night edition) will be at the City of Devonport Scout Hall in Addison St(S 41o 10.428 E 146o 20.664) due to the over abundance of rain. There are shower periods forecast for Saturday which might making a BBQ on the Devonport foreshore a bit miserable. So the Scout hall is where the action starts from.......unless of course the sun is shining, the birds are singing and the water and mud evaporates. And just a reminder: You will need to bring A reliable safety conscious driver whose focus will be solely on law abiding, safe focussed driving despite the anguished conflicting directions of passengers; A couple of GPSr's; Spare batteries; A Street directory; Something to cut plants with; Something to keep plants in; A digital camera (a phone that stores images will do); A mobile phone; Waterproof walking shoes; Rain proof clothing (just in case oh please,please be sunny) A salad or dessert to share; Your own meat to cook; Tales to tell A positive attitude And a torch or three if you doing the night event. 2009-08-25T00:00:00Z dean_erwin Note We will make a chocolate ripple cake. 2009-08-25T00:00:00Z robtas Other Hope to there partnered by Michael of Michaels Mob. Must admit I am confused by the agenda (being an old fart). Is it barby first then caching ?.. or the other way around? 2009-08-24T00:00:00Z flange_1&tribe Note will be there teaming with the chillies will bring a couple of cheese cakes 2009-08-24T00:00:00Z Dippedidooda Note Will bring a potato salad. 2009-08-23T00:00:00Z Boagsratz Note Sadly, it appears that Boagsratz will not be able to attend, due to work committments, and being, well, all at sea. This is a great shame as the last one was very enjoyable, and this looks to have the makings of being even better!!! Have fun you all...Austin. 2009-08-21T00:00:00Z madchilli Note We are bringing Ceaser Salad, and 1 small kid and 2 large ones for the afternoon treasure hunt 2009-08-20T00:00:00Z CarrollEyre Note Could we have an idea of what people are willing to share for the bbq after the first hunt? I think I have lost some emails somehow. Cache locations have been whittled down from a ridiculous number to something manageable. I will spend some time this weekend checking co-ordinates and possible problems........ C.Eyrettes dreadfully excited about the night "glow in the dark" caches.... It is not too late to enter, indeed you can enter on the day/evening. Cheers 2009-08-20T00:00:00Z Dippedidooda Note What a great idea - is there room in one car for everyone? (maybe we could hire a mini bus) Even if we lose, at least we'll have had the most fun as we'll have already had the party!!!!!!!!!!!! 2009-08-19T00:00:00Z Cheesy pigs Other Um, Dippy, we know you dont like to lose, that's why you need to stick with us. I cant believe you dumped us so publicly!! How embarrassment! We are so hurt and humiliated! Shocked and dismayed!! Maybe WE will make a counter offer to Blind Betty!! Or maybe we could make up a super-team of Dippy, Cheesy Pigs and Blind Betty? The best of the south with the best of the north? But we dont like to beg. Much. But that's fine. We dont need you - you can eat cheese on its own without dip. *Sob* 2009-08-18T00:00:00Z Dippedidooda Note Following Blind Betty's note, I offered to pick her up as I'd be coming from Burnie way. We might even form a team for the day...Red Tag's determination to beat the Cheesy Pig/Dippy alliance has been worrying me and I've been wondering how I could take a more pacifist approach!!! As it turned out, Red Tag scoffed at the suggestion to team up WITH me!, maybe a different team might deflect that blood thirst a bit!!! Of course my reasoning could well be due to having something of a competitive nature myself, and just not wanting to lose..... 2009-08-18T00:00:00Z red tag Note HE HE the Cheesy Dips are fracturing !!! :)))))))) It's still the same scent! now it's just two paths! and Pigs will fly before I join any of them :P 2009-08-17T00:00:00Z Blind Betty Other (Do I get a prize for the most edits?) I'll bring a cheese cake. As Dippy mentioned, we're teaming up so put me down as a 'heck yes I'll be there'! Looking forward to catching up with everyone. I plan to attend but my having a vehicle is a bit up in the air at the moment. Put me down for a 'You Bet' though. :-) (Cass) 2009-08-15T00:00:00Z The Strebor Wanderers Note :( I'll be at the other end of the state. Have fun! 2009-08-09T00:00:00Z forthferalz Other :) 2009-08-07T00:00:00Z BrizzyB3lla Other We will definitely be there! It sounds like so much fun. Looking forward to our second Geosport event. Thanks Carrolleyre 2009-08-06T00:00:00Z Fairly Magic Note Would love to be there, but Netball Grandfinals are the same day. Have fun everyone. Cheers Quilter 2009-08-05T00:00:00Z dean_erwin Other Sounds like fun - will be our first geo-event. We'll look forward to meeting some of the faces behind the names that we are becoming rather familiar with... 2009-08-04T00:00:00Z red tag Other Speed Flower Arranging!! Woohoo I've got this one nailed!! sorry guys..fell free to show up anyway :P 2009-08-03T00:00:00Z Cheesy pigs Other This works in nicely with days off after night shift. All the pigs should be present. 2009-08-03T00:00:00Z TeamSwampy Note As it happens, I received an email this morning advising of a staff meeting at 8am Sunday morning - 8AM. WHO HAS MEETINGS AT 8AM? ON A SUNDAY? We do apparently..... So I won't be able to attend after all. Would have been great to see red tag come 5th again. :o 2009-08-03T00:00:00Z flange_1&tribe Other will try to make it.....hopefully be teaming up with madchilli as he knows there area better than me (he doesn't know he is a team member yet).......lol 2009-08-03T00:00:00Z madchilli Other We will be there, not sure if Flange and tribe will be talking to us after this weekend (Tassie Challenge) 2009-08-03T00:00:00Z Dippedidooda Other I'm planning to come along - great idea! Looking forward to it! 2009-08-02T00:00:00Z CarrollEyre Other I am adding more details but this early published date is to let cachers know that it is on...... 2009-08-29T00:00:00.000Z GA1573 Geosport in Devonport at Night Geocaching Australia http://geocaching.com.au/cache/ga1573 Geosport in Devonport at Night Geocache Geocache Geosport in Devonport at Night CarrollEyre Highfield Tasmania Australia Event Other 3 1.5

Go for glowsticks......

Mrs CarrollEyre has wisely said that people will want recognition that they were keen enough to go hunting for caches at night after the day event of GeoSport in Devonport and that I have done enough work for two caches. There are six caches (conduit containers) placed around Devonport with glow sticks in them. Your task will be to find them. Caches are hidden in areas with ample lighting (no stumbling around in the dark bush) in areas where louts should not congregate (no caches in shopping malls) and are in interesting locations (but not as interesting as cemetries). Cache co-ordinates for the hunt will be given out at the Geosport barbecue. Each team will need.... <ol> <li>A driver whose sole responibility will be safe, alert, law abiding driving of the vechile.</li> <li>A GPSr or two or three....</li> <li>A torch or two. (caches are in lit up areas but are possibly hidden in shadows)</li> <li>A watch.</li> <li>A mobile phone.</li> <li>Possibly a camera.</li> <li>Warm coats and beanies.</li> <li>A positive attitude.</li> </ol> Please remember that I can not take responibility for you actions with this event. All laws should be followed and all care of your teams should be taken by responible adults in that team. If the weather is atrocious then we will decide what to do at the earlier event. Cheers. Ring Anthony 64245504 for other queries. 2009-08-30T00:00:00Z Cheesy pigs Found Having now cached with Redtag I have seen the attempted dirty tricks this evil woman is willing to try. From throwing caches into the river and burying them she tried to convince me it was the best way. Yes we may have been the last team back, but we were the only team to find Lone pine, and for the record it was the second last find for us, so the rest of you must have clotheyes ;) Thanks again Carroleyre, this was a lot of fun. 2009-08-30T00:00:00Z robtas Found The dash for cash! takes longer when you have no-one to put in the co-orde for you, so just follow the others. works every time. Bit suspicous about the one in the tree though. southerners...mmm... 2009-08-30T00:00:00Z Dippedidooda Found Another top event. Two in one day - the show that kept going on and on! This was very educational for me...I learnt how to make glowsticks glow (I think Blind Betty was amazed at my ignorance...and in hindsight my attempts to "crack" them were rather pathetic). Dessert was really yummy when we got back too! I also loved the speed of this cache hunt - It's been said before, but this was the MOST that it's felt like the Amazing Race. Thanks for another top event CarrollEyres. 2009-08-29T00:00:00Z dean_erwin Other Sounds interesting... we'll see how we go with the day version, the weather, and the attention span of the mini helper... 2009-08-29T00:00:00Z forthferalz Found yayay first to log!! Sorry the burning zeal of the Brizzybella's has rubbed off on me :) What a great way to warm up on a wet winter evening - running around for caches and attempting to trade paint with redtag 8_ Thanks so much for all your hardwork Carrolleyre's! 2009-08-29T00:00:00Z Blind Betty Found Can't thank CarrolEyre enough for this event, it was fantastic. (We still secretly believe that Red Tag and Mr Cheesy Pig stole that one at Lone Pine... hmmm...) Note to DKnT - your cake was spectacular! (Could you make another one next week? I'll be over about 10am with coffee.) 2009-08-29T00:00:00Z madchilli Found 2 great event in 1 day, thanks everyone 2009-08-29T00:00:00Z dean_erwin Found What better way to keep a 5yo excited than running around in the dark collecting glow-sticks... actually, I think it kept us all excited! 2009-08-29T00:00:00Z DKnT Found A big thankyou to the wonderfully organised hosts of this event. We all had a great time and the night caching (that we didn't expect to stay for) was the highlight of the mini cachers day... who doesn't love glow sticks :) 2009-08-29T00:00:00Z red tag Found I loooove night caching! so armed with my trusty GPS and torch I tore off into the dark with Cheesypigs. The first surprise was forthferalz ability to somehow make my brilliant road block look more like a speed hump! then the next shock was discovering that Mr CP wanted to play fair (I thought all cops were corrupt but apparently they're not)so I suppose the lesson here is crime doesn't pay ... or does it??? ... the pine tree knows the truth ;) Thanks team CarrollEyre, that was so much fun :))))) You have raised the bar to an incredible height, top effort!! 2009-08-28T00:00:00Z Blind Betty Other I'll be there with Dippy. :-) 2009-08-28T00:00:00Z BrizzyB3lla Other We will both be there without a doubt! looking forward to it:) 2009-08-27T00:00:00Z red tag Other I'm in :) 2009-08-27T00:00:00Z flange_1&tribe Other wILL B THERE FOR SURE 2009-08-27T00:00:00Z Dippedidooda Other Pretty sure I'll be there for some of the time at least! Good idea to list it separately! 2009-08-26T00:00:00Z CarrollEyre Other A reward for those cachers keen enough to go after the earlier Geosport in Devonport. 2009-08-26T00:00:00Z madchilli Other C U there 2009-08-22T00:00:00.000Z GA1566 Mcgowans Geocaching Australia http://geocaching.com.au/cache/ga1566 Mcgowans Geocache Geocache Mcgowans TassieAdventura Takone Tasmania Australia Traditional Regular 2 2

A Little known beautiful place

Cache is hidden a short walk from relapse creek road in myrtle forest at West Takone. Park your vehicle at S41° 10.018' E 145° 27.522' Where you will find a unusually placed guidepost with pink tape. From there follow the pink tag trail/track untill you arrive at GZ. Cache contains some small swaps and log. Terrain is reasonable but if you do decide to venture beyond GZ take care especially if with children because there is a 20+ metre cliff. Hope you enjoy this place. I suggest taking Tasmap 1:25000 Folly. Look in Mossy log on right side of track under rotten wood. 2009-08-24T00:00:00Z beetles2 Found Don't you just hate having a day off work and it's pouring with rain!! There went the plans for walking up Bell Mt and looking for the cache there. So instead we headed further along the NW coast to see if we could get a FTF. Passed a car on the way in that looked suspiciously like a geomobile full of FTF chasers. But lucky for us it was just muggles. Found the cache easily then wandered on to look at a very impressive waterfall. Wonder what river it is? TN. Left beetles2 fridge magnet. Thanks. 2009-08-22T00:00:00Z TassieAdventura Other 2009-07-16T00:00:00.000Z GA1526 Wrest Point Webcam Geocaching Australia http://geocaching.com.au/cache/ga1526 Wrest Point Webcam Geocache Geocache Wrest Point Webcam red tag Sandy Bay Tasmania Australia Webcam Other 2.5 1

This is a webcam geocache in honour of all the past founders, contributors, admins, developers, users, benefactors and supporters of GCA, which has now become a strong, vibrant Australian Geocaching community

The Wrest Point Casino first opened in Hobart in 1973 and was Australia's first legal casino. It is now a recognised Tasmanian landmark and includes a revolving restaurant on the top level offering panoramic views of the city. The casino also has a webcam on the top that you can control remotely via the internet <a href="http://wphc-webcam.federalit.net/#">here.</a> To activate the camera, follow the link to the webcam and when the window opens, click on the button in the lower right corner.  <img src="http://garmin.geocaching.com.au/gallery/images/ga1526/121.jpg" alt="" /> To log this cache you need to post a picture of yourself holding a GPSr and mark your coordinates at that site to be included in your log. You will most likely need assistance to pan and zoom to your position in order to capture your image. You don't need to be in the carpark like Mr red tag at the posted coordinates, in fact you can be anywhere that the camera can capture an image (please don't do anything dangerous!!). The first person to post an image of themselves ON A BOAT on the river (not moored/anchored) will receive a geocoin as a prize! Other novel locations will also be rewarded! 2009-08-18T00:00:00Z fidjit Found Hokay He's my contribution....me in a car with a gps at one of my caches ( in a suit ( if you look really carefully )) [:-)] 2009-08-10T00:00:00Z Cheesy pigs Note Tried to do this on the way home from the bowling event thingy.

We will get the promised geocoin to you soon. We also await the next unique log - could it be someone belting out a tune while strumming the guitar, perhaps fancy dress or, dare i mention it, some poor geocacher being escorted away by the MIB!? All such logs would be deserving of an award (geocoin). 2009-07-19T00:00:00Z March Brown Found Had to have a go at this from the water. So this morning headed out with the boat, gps and laptop to park in front of the casino and try to get a picture. This is a bit harder than you would think as the boat keeps moving and it is hard to keep it in the picture with a reasonable zoom level. Well this is the best I could do. I am in the bow holding up my gps and operating the computer at the same time. Lots of fun [:)] Thanks red tag 2009-07-17T00:00:00Z TeamSwampy Found Saw this pop up last night and wondered about being first. Looks like I am. *FTF* to me.

HOPE THIS DOES NOT BITE.

There was a cache here before but was hard too find due to gps lock. This one is in a better spot and its under a tree trunk that grew horizontally and the did some twists to give a unique shape. The cache should be approached from  below along the river bank. It is small(ish) log and pencil only. The vista from here is really great and well woth the trip just to enjoy it. There is another cache just along the road a bit. . Bring you fishing gear(In season). I DON'T THINK YOU WILL BE TROUBLED WITH REAL SNAKES. under a rock just below the trunk 2009-08-02T00:00:00Z TeamSwampy Found 11th find of the day at 16:05.

Just as well the dam is spilling as another few centimetres of water in the lake and the cache would be floating away...

A BIT OF HISTORY

This Park has been developed to commemorate the early pioneers of the district. As a momento to the Bellerive to Sorell railway, which operated between 2 may 1892 to 30June 1926. To the rear of the Park is a weir which was constructed to provide water storage for the locomotives & water was pumped to the SorellStation which still stands in Station Lane. The following details of the railway and it;s operations may be of interest:- Length   14 miles 52 chains with a ruling gradient of 1 in 40. Rails     43lb per yard steel.  Cost at opening 131923 pounds. The route was from Kangaroo Bay at Bellerive through a 180yard long tunnel through Camberidge. Over a 920yard timber causeway across Pittwater to Shark Point rd to Sorell. As there was no facility for turnong locomotives the trail ran in reverse back to Bellerive and was never connected to the main railway system.   At placement the weather was crap so the co-ords may be a bit out so look in the obvious place.  Bit of rubbish about but then thats typical of most parks these days. Iteresting walkbridge.       cross member 2009-08-17T00:00:00Z sirius Tas Found Time was getting on...so last cache for the day...and still a long way from home.

Many thanks robtas...another goodie...cache all ok....Cheers. 2009-07-27T00:00:00Z Dippedidooda Found I was trying to follow the directions my GPS was giving me, and I got a bit confused with the streets. It was because I was approaching from the Eaglehawk direction. As it turned out, it was at a spot that I knew about and could have made it much easier for myself. Oh well, I got there in the end and found the cache (after another time of problemsolving trying to open that gate)! Thanks robtas. 2009-07-02T00:00:00Z OldSaint Found Felt lower than a snakes belly looking for this cahce which I found at 1409hrs as my 52nd find.

No rain, no wind and best of all no logs already in the log book. I attempted to take some night photos but ended up just laughing at my woeful results. I couldn't get a good shot of the amazing full moon (well almost full) so I tried to take a close up of its reflection in the water. That didn't go well either (that grass was mighty slippery after all the recent rain) so I will leave the photography of this lovely place to the experts. Thanks for the cache robtas. As you mentioned the coords may be a little out...for me they were about 10mtrs but its still a very findable cache with the hint and also a very enjoyable one even at night :) These coords may be a tad closer S42 47.055 E147 33.906 2009-05-21T00:00:00.000Z GA1464 Bay View Geocaching Australia http://geocaching.com.au/cache/ga1464 Bay View Geocache Geocache Bay View OldSaint Eaglehawk Neck Tasmania Australia Traditional Small 1 1

Bay View

A small traditional cache (plastic box with blue lid) placed to let you see a good view. It is on the way or on the way back from one of Tasmania's premium tourist attractions, Port Arthur. Next to the highway, ample parking will ensure your safety. Dependent upon your approach, you park right next to it. Many muggles stop here to capture the view, especially the spectacular sunsets. Enjoy your visit to the Tasman Peninsula.   Find the sign, and the cache is in a hole at the base of a tree with four trunks. 2009-08-17T00:00:00Z sirius Tas Found Quick find....very windy today...but scenery still great.

We picked up this nice little cache on the way past and scored ourselves a bonus FTF.

GREAT WALK

This cache is between two other caches. One is at the start of a great walk the other at the end. I have said before a really great place often deserves more than one cache especially if there is a long walk involved, 1.4km one way. This is a place that all cachers should visit and when you do there are now three caches to temp you there. Cache is small with log and pencil only plus a TB forthe FTF. Please take care in retrieving and relacing the cache.

This cache is ONLY for experienced bush walkers, who are prepared to camp out for a number of night to achieve this remote destination. Those who reach this cache will be rewarded with incredible coastal scenery. Although this cache is not at the end of the track (we couldn't make it due to wild weather and restraints due to last light) it is well on out on South West Cape. It lies on the Western side of the track at the base of a small outcrop of rocks. A very pleasant place to stop for a break and to admire the scenery. It is in plain sight and no hunting in bushes is required. The cache is a pvc pipe capped at both ends approx 20cm long and is completely water and animal proof. It contains a few articles that may be handy in this remote location as well as something fizzy to enjoy for the first to find. A detailed description of the walk can be found in the book South West Tasmania by John Chapman. This walk should not be attempted by anyone who is not an experienced bushwalker. Cache will be maintained by JamesWat, Graham51, Macca81 and anyone who volunteers to. The maintenance of this cache will rely mainly on those who find it to assist with its maintenance. 2009-04-24T00:00:00Z JamesWat Other Hope you have a better walk than we did and make it to the end of the cape. :) 2009-04-01T00:00:00.000Z GA1426 Oxley on Mersey Geocaching Australia http://geocaching.com.au/cache/ga1426 Oxley on Mersey Geocache Geocache Oxley on Mersey Geoskid Lemonthyme Tasmania Australia Traditional Small 1.5 2

Another one for the Bushwalkers

This cache is located at Grail Falls, or more precisely, on the large rock slabs 50m above the Falls, accessed via the Moses Creek Track which starts at the end of the Mersey Forest Rd. The track is quite obvious overall, however through a small area of forest that was burnt out a while ago it is less obvious but still quite visible. The track has a few steep pinches but are spread out. The last climb up to the rock slabs is steep but fun. I don't have a head for heights and was fine. The walk takes you through Myrtle and Sassafrass Forest with a few creek crossings, ending with Grail Falls and a lovely spot at the bottom of the falls for swimming and lunch. Up on the rock slabs near GZ are fantastic views over Chapter Lake.  Map Reference: TASMAP 1:25,000 Cathedral Ref - Cradle Mountain Lake St Clair and Walls of Jerusalem National Parks by Chapman, Chapman and Siseman for planning and safety in general, and p177/178 fifth edition for access and track notes. Follow Sidetrip notes to Cathedral Mountain to gain the rock slabs at top of falls. Note - The Moses Creek/Jacksons Creek Track Junction has a walkers registration booth. Approx. walking time is 2.5 - 3 Hrs one way at casual pace Cache is a cammoed 200ml Sistema with Log, pencil and stash note.     Under end of rather uniform rectangular rock aprox 1m long by 300mm deep by 300mm wide 2009-05-11T00:00:00Z The Strebor Wanderers Found FTF! and it's a nice walk, lovely falls, and the view from the top of the falls is definitely worth going up for.

A great bushwalk to introduce begginners, young and old, to bushwalking, and a favourite for some that have been here many times.

This cache is placed in State Forest near the Reg Wadley Memorial  Hut in the Lees Paddocks area. The cache is across the Mersey River from the Hut, accesed via large log crossing with wire hand rail. The Lees Paddocks area is a great destination in istelf, and is also used to access The overland track at both Pelion Hut (via part of the Arm River track) and Kia Ora Hut. This walk is relatively flat with a few undulations. Some excellent picturesque walking on the banks of the Mersey the whole way for approx. 9km one way to Reg Wadleys hut which is set in a spectacular valley overlooked by Mountains - a truly magnificent place. Map Reference: TASMAP 1:25,000 Cathedral Ref - Cradle Mountain Lake St Clair and Walls of Jerusalem National Parks by Chapman, Chapman and Siseman 5th Edition for safety and planning, and pages as noted below for access and detailed track notes.

From the hut walk South to the Mersey and follow it East to a log bridge crossing the river at (S41 51.558  E146 06.707). Cross bridge and make way to cache. Whilst an excellent day walk, there is plenty to explore if you camped for the night. Walking time is approx 3.5 Hrs to Reg Wadley Hut at casual pace. Cache is a cammoed 200ml Sistema with log, pencil, and stash note. In the crack of a fallen log, about halfway along its length. The tree fell downhill. 2009-05-20T00:00:00Z Neribil Found FTF.

This waterhole is a naturally occuring place which is a haven for all hte local animals. This part of tassie is very short of water but this place has an abundance and it is obvious from the animal tracks that it is well used.  This could also mean the joe blakes so be careful.. This means caution is advised so as to not disturbe any wildlife , but could be very educational for the kids with patience. Dusk is always a good time.

Thanks Sirius for your assistance. 2009-04-21T00:00:00Z sirius Tas Found Found empty container with magnet and log missing. Had a spare scroll log and pencil and replaced in slightly different but close by spot with owners permission. All these Dial Range caches are definitely worth visiting with easy access and excellent walking tracks with superb views. There are many walking tracks linking up with each other with geocaches along most of them. This is a good cache to entice you to walk that little bit further...so good one robtas....many thanks....Cheers. 2009-03-08T00:00:00Z hookline Found Yay, FTF!

Near a beautiful beach which I recommend you go on a nice day, around lunchtime, where there is crystal-clear water and soft sand.

KEY: Kmiatae - green Sonic the Super Bird - pink Normal message - white   To my dear Fellow Cache-collectors, It is I - Sonic the Super Bird!  and me- kmiatae! I hope you like our cache, it is easy, kid-friendly and brings you to a small beach in SouthArm. maybe you can go at sunset!!!!...!!!!!!!!! Kmiatae and I always come down here on a nice sunny day. it's so much fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...! We just drive down from our house to a "dead end," where the road stops and then just find a place to park. I will give you coordinates, for where you park to find the cache. If you do not park there, it will be much harder for you to find it. Tell them Kmiatae! The coordinates are: S43* 01.312' E147* 25.031 There you have it folks, but back to the story.  yeah back to the story!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Next you walk through an alley-way, on a track which takes you to the beach. There is a GIANT pine-tree when you get to the end of the alley. And a couple of pathes down onto the beach, which if you get there at the right time of day (which we are afraid we do not the time) you will get some shade from the big ol' pine tree. It is like the best beach EVER! But if you are a surfer, sorry - for there is not much waves. Only little ones right at the shore. We love it, don't we Kmiatae?  yeah It is just wonderful if you like getting a tan, nice calm swims, beach games, playing in the water, just laying on your boogie board, or perhaps just simply seeing if you can touch the bottom of sea. I have retrieved a bit of seaweed from the bottom before.  its lovely to swim and snorkel there! Great beach, Easy find, Relaxing swim Perfect. That's what all Geo-caches should be.     Enjoy, Sonic the Super Bird and Kmiatae   Around the Pine tree, check the b**** It is on the side closer to the path not the beach. WARNING: It is very well camoflaged. 2009-08-08T00:00:00Z OldSaint Found Found at 1450hrs as my third for the day. East find as it had not been hidden as well as it should have been when last discovered. The problem was resolved as it was replaced after my find. Loved the views, although some of it was hidden by the impending rain storm. TFTC OldSaint 2009-06-14T00:00:00Z Sonic the super bird Note Hey Guys! It is I, Sonic the Super Bird! What, don't remember me? Oh, well I'm the handsome one. *wink wink* Thanks SG-3 for the touching log. *sniff* I am glad you found it and enjoyed the beach, even though it was rainy. Also thanks to Snuva for going out there with team SG-3, and putting the silica gel on it. Sorry about the bad weather, but it is a wonderful beach anyway! (Don't tell much people about it, or it will become overpopulated!) Thanks again. Over and out, Sonic the Super Bird 2009-06-13T00:00:00Z SG-3 Found It may have been overcast, and even a little rainy, but it was still an impressive beach we cast our eyes upon! Thanks Sonic the super bird and Kmiatae for placing a cache here, as I have never seen this beach before! Looks like a very friendly one! 2009-06-13T00:00:00Z Snuva Found I visited this cache while caching in the area with SG-3. The parking coordinates worked well and we were soon at a lovely beach - in the rain and with barely enough visability to see the shore on the other side of the Derwent! The cache was soon found, the log signed, and I added some silica gel to make certain things stayed dry. Thank you for the cache! 2009-04-26T00:00:00Z Sonic the super bird Note Hello Dippedidooda Great Job on finding my cache! I'm glad you looked again. I know - when you're looking for it it seems hard but when you find you think it was easy. Ha Ha! Over and out, Sonic the super bird 2009-04-25T00:00:00Z Dippedidooda Found Second attempt on this one. Had a little look, then took Maddie for a run along the beach, came back and started looking again and found it. Would have thought I'd looked there last time! Thanks Sonic and Kmiatae. It's a very nice beach. (I think I said that last time). 2009-04-20T00:00:00Z Sonic the super bird Note Hey Folks! Congrats to Sog and Paulus team. You guys were the first to find it! Sorry you couldn't find it other teams but please try again! I will change the hint because I think something needs to be changed by the looks of things. Sorry I have to go. (BED TIME!) I will report back after school. Over and out, Sonic the Super Bird. 2009-04-11T00:00:00Z TeamSwampy Found 2009-04-11 16:18 Spent about an hour looking around the hint to no avail. Spread out and started searching around the other hints also to no avail. Only when my primary GPSr batteries were flat and I fired up the phone and searched GZ again, did I find the cache. I obviously was doing "an adult look" and not seeing what was in front of me. Hint does need updating as I spent around an hour searching here today. 2009-04-11T00:00:00Z Sog n Paulus Found Found in the company of a muggle nephew. This was our first attempt and it didn't seem THAT hard to find... The muggle dog we borrowed had a GREAT time! TNLN. Thanks Sonic the Super Bird. 2009-04-09T00:00:00Z red tag Found Loaded with the confidence provided by the last note, Mr red tag headed yonder to tackle this cache. Funny things happen in this world; it ended up being where I thought it would be, but only revealed itself after at least 4 searches of the spot! Also FTF after 2 months! Easily accessed but well hidden it must be! A few scarce muggles only, on a beautiful autumn morning! Thanks for the cache, Sonic the super bird and Kmiatae! 2009-04-05T00:00:00Z kmiatae Note Checked cache today as my daughter hid it with Sonic the Super Bird. Is still there in the same spot. Will ask Sonic to add a more detailed hint. 2009-02-18T00:00:00Z TeamSwampy Not Found 2009-02-18 very late. I searched and searched and even found a hidey hole but there was no cache. I am worried that this area will get thrashed as the dunes are eroding already. Can you confirm it the caches is still there, or if it has gone missing? 2009-02-04T00:00:00Z Dippedidooda Not Found Had a look, also didn't find it. Maddie seemed to miraculously forget about her sprained ankle at the chance of a dip in the sea though. Might need checking to see if it's still there? It's certainly a nice beach. 2009-01-31T00:00:00Z March Brown Not Found GZ is near the pine tree but not too many places to hide a regular container that would fit the difficulty rating. Had a good look around. 2009-01-28T00:00:00Z Sonic the super bird Other Hello, Welcome to my 3rd cache and Kmiatae's 1st one. Hope you enjoy our cache. It is kid-friendly and lots of fun. Enjoy!

"Every night, as soon as I've brushed my toothypegs, put on my piggy-jimjams, I say 'I'm going to sleepy bo-bos', everybody does!", Graeme Garden (The Goodies).

This cache is in Sleepy Bay. To get to the cache involves a 10 minute walk from the Cape Tourville Road and a small amount of rock hopping. The rocky shoreline is impressive, the cove itself is spectacular, and the 'sand' is like nothing I've seen anywhere else. Well worth a visit. It's in a national park, so costs apply. See the Parks & Wildlife Service's site (http://www.parks.tas.gov.au/index.aspx?base=3363) for more information. The cache is a cammo 200ml sistema container with logbook and pen.   At the base of a tree, top side. 2009-06-09T00:00:00Z greenegrass Found What a nice little spot. 7yo remarked about the sand that it looked like fertlizer, we all agreed that it did. Had to wonder about the craypots and boat in the bushes though??? Easy find, Thanks. TNLN SL. 2009-02-18T00:00:00Z If Found After getting a bit of exercise over the last couple of days, I felt like a nap. But this was too nice a location to have a sleep. The scenery is spectacular and the cache needed finding. Sleep can wait. After a stroll down the track I jumped onto the beach. That's the coarsest sand I've seen !! Some rock scrambling and I soon found the cache. With the log book signed, I had to sit there for a while and just soak up the views some more. TFTC. 2009-02-01T00:00:00Z red tag Found left Devonport this morning and took a little detour via the East Coast thinking I would nab myself a few FTF's. Picked myself up a dozen oysters and a celebratory drink and arrived at Sleepy bo-bos ready for my little picnic/party. Very pleasant walk to GZ and a good hide meant I had the cache in hand in no time. So I lemoned my oysters, cracked my can and opened the log book....... WHAT !!!!..... 2TF Well Done sirius, Sheesh....you get about. Thanks for a brilliant cache Gorbak. 2009-01-31T00:00:00Z sirius Tas Found Bo Bo's was still sleeping as I approached GZ...the sun just climbing up over the horizon and over a quite calm serene sea..with a fishing boat just appearing close by to check his catch(really envious too). A truly magic morning here and the start to what was going to be a looooong day indeed. This cache was the prelude to the next cache 'The end of the highway' and then onto 'Blue Champagne'...so guess this one was a good limber up....lol. Another beaut piece of coastline once again being able to visit through geocaching. Many thanks gorbak....another ripper indeed....for an old boatie these caches are the bees knees....Cheers. 2009-01-26T00:00:00Z gorbak Other It's nearly time to brush my toothypegs and put on my piggy-jimjams... 2009-01-23T00:00:00.000Z GA1398 I'm on a high Geocaching Australia http://geocaching.com.au/cache/ga1398 I'm on a high Geocache Geocache I'm on a high Normanhurst Scouts Lenah Valley Tasmania Australia Traditional Regular 1 2

Look around your feet 2009-06-28T00:00:00Z Sog n Paulus Found A very popular spot for muggles today. Found in between waves of them. Coords seemed fine to us. Left Four Elements geocoin. Thanks Normanhurst scouts 2009-04-11T00:00:00Z TeamSwampy Found 2009-04-11 18:24 Found after a long search and a nudge. I was standing on the trig waiting for the muggles to leave (which they didn't) and spotted a suspicious looking person below. After watching for a while, I announced "Don't be put off by me". So, March Brown and I joined forces and continued searching whilst being watched and questioned. As it was getting very dark and cold, the nudge came and the cache was found. The coords are a tad out but if you take into account accuracy then its about 4m from apparent GZ. Thanks 2009-04-11T00:00:00Z March Brown Found Had been looking for around an hour amongst the hoards of muggle tourists and their inquisitive little muggles. Finaly Swampy turned up and with some help we were able to find the cache. Thanks Normanhurst Scouts 2009-04-09T00:00:00Z red tag Found Well, it took Mr red tag a while, but..........FOUND! Coordinates were in the ballpark, when the accuracy was considered. The cache was well concealed from muggles and I actually had more difficulty replacing as suddenly I was surrounded by muggles at the decisive time! Contents were slightly damp and I fear a little for the water resistance of this cache! Still, bravely placed an top of our mountain and great views, as always! Took torch, left pin. Thanks for the cache, Normanhurst Scouts ! 2009-03-06T00:00:00Z CraigRat Other An SBA log on its own isn't enough for me to archive this. I'll let it stand for now, however if there are more DNF's I will review. 2009-03-06T00:00:00Z TeamSwampy Note I didn't think this would be a good place to hide a cache as there are so many visitors to this area. There is no way to know where the cache would be hiding as all the rocks in the area have been turned over, picked up, relocated or thrown numerous times each and every day. I spent 45 minutes searching the area out to a distance of 15m in all directions from GZ and came up empty handed, expect for rubbish. Edit: OK, the cache is there. I retract the previous comments. 2009-02-16T00:00:00Z toycoasters Found Took a little while trying to find it while in a misty, cold cloud. Good hiding spot. Took the strap and left some waterproof matches.

... and around a bit to the left.

During the peak season (and I guess a lot of the off-season as well) the track to Wineglass Bay feels more like a highway. Even so, it is still a marvellous location, and well worth the attention. This cache is a short rock hop away from the beach (and most of the muggles), and will hopefully provide you with some scenic rewards for your extra effort. And yes, it's in a national park, so costs apply. See the Parks & Wildlife Service's site (http://www.parks.tas.gov.au/index.aspx?base=3363) for more information. The cache is a cammo 200ml sistema container with logbook and pen.

Not too busy today with the weather rather dodgy. 2009-02-18T00:00:00Z If Found After walking the less travelled trails down to Bryan's beach yesterday, I returned northward this morning and took the detour to Wineglass Bay. It was an overcast and drizzly morning which was making the scenery that much more dramatic and beautiful. I was hoping the weather would keep the muggles away too. It did seem to be when I arrived, but almost as soon as I sat on a comfy rock for a rest the rush hour arrived :O It was like a tidal wave of muggles pouring out of the gap in the trees. So I wandered off to find the cache and escape. A bit of fun rock hopping later and I was almost at GZ. Looking back the crowd seemed to be following me !! But the last big cleft in the rocks seemed to halt their progress :) I found the cache under my seat and quickly filled in the logbook. Time for some photos!! Then it was back to the beach to face the traffic on the highway... TFTC. 2009-01-31T00:00:00Z sirius Tas Found This cache was certainly not the end of the highway....but for me just the start. I was getting along at a fair clip and didn't turn on the GPSr until the hazards junction...when whoa there nelly....had just gone past a tad...so quickly back tracked onto shoreline and another magic location. Days like this you just wish you had the boat with you...lovely and calm. Another ripper gorbak...nice hide too. With two FTF's under the belt so early in the day...what could be better...so it was now off on my intended journey to Bryans Beach.

This place has been recently refurbished by the local Lions club, and they have done a great job. At the far end is the local swimming hole and its very well set up, the kids will just love it. Could do with a bit more water flowing through but its not too bad. cache is my regular with small swaps. left end of concrete path 2009-08-25T00:00:00Z dean_erwin Not Found Both the hint and the GPS indicated that some underwater searching would be required, with the river having risen higher than it has in 5 years (according to the locals)... we'll be back later in the year to see if the cache survives! 2009-07-18T00:00:00Z red tag Not Found After driving that Powranna road in the dark and in the thickest fog I have ever seen I was disappointed I couldnt find this one. I used the hint and from the look of the area and all the rain recently if it wasnt held down by something pretty heavy I would be a little worried its gone for a swim with Nell. Nearly came a cropper on the slipery rocks searching, and with the river still swollen and without any daylight I thought it safer to leave it. I will be interested to see if anyone finds this. Great spot that sure deserves a cache!! Thanks robtas 2009-04-18T00:00:00Z flange_1&tribe Found nice spot nice easy find 2009-04-05T00:00:00Z CraigRat Found What a great little spot! Pity I didn't do this cache on a hotter day, what a ripper of a swimming hole! Found the cache easily, unfortunately so has someone else, and the logbook had gone walkabout. I had a spare book in the car, so I've replaced it and signed it. Thanks for showing me this gem of a spot! 2009-01-25T00:00:00Z Dippedidooda Found Did someone say Dip? It sure is a nice spot here, and perfect weather for it today. A muggle campervanner was happily painting a nice landscape right there but luckily GZ was just out of view. Whenever I've passed through Bracknell I've had a thought in the back of my mind that there should be a cache here somewhere...now there is and it's in the perfect place! Thanks robtas, it's a gem of a spot. 2009-01-21T00:00:00Z TeamSwampy Found 2009-01-21 18:18 Found after a short search. Nice area - may come back to camp here.

There is an excellent cache not all that far away which is a must see and do. left 2009-04-18T00:00:00Z flange_1&tribe Found nice easy find 2009-02-13T00:00:00Z hookline Found Indeed a very big and impressive tree.

Thanks RobTas. 2009-02-08T00:00:00Z CarrollEyre Found This must have been a massive tree before the top was blasted out by lightning or blown off by wind. The nearby trees that were felled must have been a similar size. Thanks Robtas for the cache we enjoyed both exploring around the tree and finding the cache. 2009-01-26T00:00:00Z gixerk5 Found Big sucker this one. SL TNLN TFTC 2009-01-25T00:00:00Z Dippedidooda Found Very big tree. Having the cache there meant that I didn't miss it! Nice that it is made a feature of.

This cache compliments the cache...GA0924...Liffey Falls...and yes it's certainly another BIG TREE. May be not so unusual to us here...but people from other parts of the world would be amazed...as I believe only the Californian Redwood grows to similar or in fact larger size.

For Stamp Collectors or for people who are in urgent need of a stamp

Welcome fellow Cache Collectors   How are you? I am good, thanks. Did this one when junior Kmiatae came over to play. (Well maybe not that junior, she is as old as me. For I am Sonic the Super Bird - age 4.)   Well if you want to swap objects inside my cache, you must have STAMPS!!! My cache has stamps inside and you can only swap stamps in and out of this cache. NOTE: Some stamps still have paper on them. So if you are a stamp collector this is the place to get new stamps! CAUTION: If you do not have stamps to put in                                                             you cannot do this cache.         Thankyou. Happy Caching!                             Sonic the Super Bird     P.S. This cache is quite close to <a href="http://geocaching.com.au/cache/gcr4ev">Historic Loss</a>, in fact it is actually 141 metres away my cache. So I would do it after this one, if you're not in a rush. It is a Multi-cache.               Give it a go!       Past the Green, where it can just be seen. Tip: Be careful, for muggles are watching.... 2009-04-21T00:00:00Z Sonic the super bird Note Hey guys! Congratulations to Team Swampy, Sog and Paulus and Flange_1&tribe. Good job on finding my cache. This cache is quite easy. Just one to do if you just want to have a walk in the afternoon or it could be one to top a day of caching off. Over and out, Sonic the Super Bird 2009-04-11T00:00:00Z Sog n Paulus Found Found easily since the cache is rather exposed. In fact, there is a log written by "the congregation". Luckily, they don't seem to mind it being there... Took a stamp, left a stamp. Thanks Sonic the Super Bird. 2009-04-11T00:00:00Z flange_1&tribe Found nice and easy find this one thanks for the cache keep on hiding ty tnln 2009-02-18T00:00:00Z TeamSwampy Found 2009-02-18 22:27 Found without a torch - gee, those lights are bright!!! T stamp, L stamp Thanks. 2009-01-24T00:00:00Z Sonic the super bird Note Hello everyone, Thanks for the great comments! I'm glad you could do it. WOW! 6 PEOPLE HAVE FOUND MY CACHE!!!! This is truly amazing! Thanks Dippedidooda. I have heard of a couple of congregations leaving the church every now and then and I think that people should make a Muggle-proof plan before looking for my cache. Ha Ha! It is a little obvious and easy to see, but what muggle, would think to stare deep in there. ( **WINK WINK** ) You might be right, though. But if it needs Maintenance, I will maintain it ASAP! Thanks March Brown. It is kinda obvious, but it's hard not to be spotted by muggles in near by houses. Thankyou to you too, Redtag. Nice to know you took the time to do my cache! (By the way, I've heard of you heaps! Nice to meet you.) Thankyou everyone! Happy Caching, Sonic the Super Bird 2009-01-23T00:00:00Z Dippedidooda Found The other day when I passed by, there was a congregation heading in, so I left it...until today when it was all quiet! Found very easily...although it's sort of camouflaged a bit, anyone walking in can see it readily, so I would be fairly surprised if it stays too long. (Unless of course you're part of the congregation, Sonic, and have them all worded up!!!!) OF course I could be wrong too and it might only be obvious to other cachers!!! Anyway thank you for the cache, Sonic the superbird. Although I'm not a stamp collector now, I used to be, and can appreciate the amazing detail in and significance of the image choices. Took nothing, but left a few. 2009-01-23T00:00:00Z March Brown Found Fairly obvious to find. Left a couple of stamps. Thanks Sonic the super bird 2009-01-22T00:00:00Z red tag Found Took nothing Left a few stamps Thanks for the cache Sonic the super bird 2009-01-20T00:00:00Z Sonic the super bird Note Thanks Kmiatae.

Can't wait for your next hide! 2009-01-12T00:00:00Z Sonic the super bird Note Hey guys! Oh shucks..... This is only my second cache, but no one has ever found the first one!!!! I AM SO EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! yesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyes!!!!!!! YES! Thanks guys, congrats on finding my cache. Thanks polfil 4 rating it and thanks Cheesy Pigs for writing about the congregation (nice idea on looking casual, will keep in mind...) Thanks 4 the stamps!!! Sorry about there being no pencil, forgot it! hee hee?... Thanks 4 putting a big BIG smile on my face! I feel GREAT! I could run a marathon, save the world, eat 1000 Hamburgers! Thanks for the good spirit. Bye, I am just going to go off and cry tears of happiness and collect them in a bucket to remind me of this wonderful occasion! Thanks, Happy you could do this cache. Sonic the Super Bird 2009-01-11T00:00:00Z polfil Found Found at 10.45. *FTF* Swapped a stamp. SL. Thanks. 2009-01-11T00:00:00Z Cheesy pigs Found Second to find but first to log yay. We saw that this was unfound and thought it a good chance. Arrived at GZ at 10.20am to find a congregation leaving the building. We strolled among the graves waiting for the crowd to pass on, then retrieved the cache. Only to find Polfil had sntched the FTF at 10.10. Aargh!! Oh well well done guys. We took nothing bt left 4 Swiss stamps. Thank you. 2009-01-09T00:00:00Z Sonic the super bird Other Hello, I hope you like my second cache.

A Man, A Mine, A Midden of Memories!

<img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3088/3179514030_b8cf49645b_o.jpg" alt="" /> Leslie Wentworth Edwards was born in Hobart on the eleventh of April, 1890.  The son of an orchardist, Leslie married Julie Frances Lovett at the age of 23. They became the proud parents of Lesley Gladys Edwards on the Twenty-Second of February, 1915, and over the next seven years their family grew with the addition of Leonard, Margaret, and Alan. In the early 1930’s the Great Depression hit the family hard.  Leslie left home to find work at a time when the country’s unemployment rate had hit 30%.  For two or three years he found work on the Osmiridium mining fields of Adamsfield, in Tasmania’s remote southwest.  It was back-breaking work.  The ore was dug from the surface using picks, and the Osmiridium was separated from the sand, mud and gravel using panning techniques similar to those used in the Gold fields of Victoria.  This required a copious amount of water that had to be channeled around the fields using a hand dug network of races; a network that was both energy and time consuming to build and maintain. Working weeks at a time away from his loved ones, Leslie would occasionally make the arduous journey back to Hobart on his motorcycle to be with his family for a day, before riding back to Adamsfield for another extended time away from them.  The younger children barely recognized their father, who would arrive home, hands calloused, sporting many week’s worth of facial hair and a body that was no doubt more muscular, yet work-wearied. It must have been a great sacrifice for this family, but it kept them alive.  Leslie and Julie’s eldest daughter, Lesley, went on to marry Robert Stephen Morgan in 1936.  They had a son, Ian, in 1938, and a Daughter, Diana, in 1941. Twin daughters followed four years later. Diana is my mother, and Leslie Wentworth Edwards, who died the year before I was born, is my Great Grandfather. I finally visited Adamsfield recently - a sort of self-imposed pilgrimage - and had every intention of placing a cache there, in honour of my Great Grandfather.  The remains of the town centre are covered in bracken, and quite indiscernible, so  my great expectations of “feeling” something of those long gone in this spot were disappointingly un-met.  It was only after leaving the town-proper, and coming across the location listed for this virtual, that a sense of connectedness finally hit me.  It is here that you can stand amongst the middens of miners long-gone; their refuse now a memorial to their harsh existence. The relics in this area provide an important link with our past. Please do not disturb them. If items are moved or removed their potential to tell us about the past is reduced, as is the enjoyment of other people who visit the site.  To log this cache, I ask that you to spend some time to carefully wander here, and then take and post a photo of one of these castoffs from a people who once lived and died here. I’ll start things off with a 1930’s Marmite Jar, one of many scattered around here: <img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3534/3178672985_6d79f9ce74_o.jpg" alt="" /> Again, I stress, the relics in this area provide an important link with our past. Please do not disturb them. It just felt wrong leaving a modern piece of Systema in this amazing area, hence the choice of making this a Virtual. How to get there If you are travelling in a 2WD vehicle you will need to access Adamsfield via the Clear Hill Road. This leaves the Gordon River Road about 3.5 kilometres west of Frodshams Pass. After approximately 17.7 kilometres the junction with the Adamsfield (Morley) track (4WD) is reached. There is a locked barrier at the start of this track. If you walk along the Adamsfield track for approximately 4 kilometres you will reach the township site. Allow about two hours for the return walk plus time to explore the relics. If you have a 4WD vehicle you can reach Adamsfield via the Clear Hill Road and Adamsfield (Morley) track (as described above). An alternative 4WD route is provided by the Saw Back track. People using this route must be experienced four-wheel drivers with high clearance vehicles. There is a particularly steep and slippery section on the Saw Back track just before it joins the Adamsfield track. The Saw Back track leaves the Gordon River Road 15 kilometres west of Frodshams Pass. It is closed annually from 1st June to 1st October to prevent damage to the fragile mudstone soils. Please be aware that track closures may also occur at other times of the year due to high fire danger or for other management reasons. There are barriers on both the Saw Back Range track, Adamsfield track and the Clear Hill Road, which are permanently locked. Therefore, all vehicle-based visitors to Adamsfield, including those travelling by motorbike, four-wheel bike or mountain bike, require an authority and a key. You can obtain these by contacting the Mt Field National Park Visitor Centre. A $100 refundable deposit is charged for the key. The maximum number of vehicles in each group is six. To ensure access it is recommended that you book in advance. Visitors to Adamsfield do not require a Parks pass. Adamsfield is well worth a visit, and further information to whet your appetite can be found here: <a href="http://www.parks.tas.gov.au/file.aspx?id=6361">http://www.parks.tas.gov.au/file.aspx?id=6361</a>  .  This is a great resource; so much so that I actually quoted a lot of it in the description/directions above! 2009-03-08T00:00:00Z 47tuc Found This area must be strewn with lots of these sort of sites. One could easy walk past this one without knowing it was there, especially if it weren't for the recent fires clearing the undergrowth away. Excellent weather today for a walk. We drove some of the way along from Clark's Huts then walked the rest. You have a really good story for this cache SG-3. It's wonderful to be able to connect the history with a physical place like this and actually see some of the relics that your great grandfather may have actually used. Thanks for the cache and the story. 2009-01-17T00:00:00Z March Brown Found Guess this is a FTF as well. Found looking around here quite interesting. The hut remains are still evident and there are quite a few remnants about. Its a shame a lot of the bottles are broken. Thanks SG-3 (and Gorbak!) 2009-01-17T00:00:00Z TeamSwampy Found 2009-01-17 morning Visited here with March Brown and Rebulus.

Aka "The Paris end of Adamsfield". This cache has been placed in memory of Tasmania's fourth oldest cache, the innovatively named "Geocache", and the hut that contained it. The hut, known as the Adamsfield Hilton, was destroyed by a bushfires in November 2007.

We had a good trip in with no problems finding caches. Thanks Gorbak (& SG-3) 2009-01-17T00:00:00Z rebulus Found A FTF find for me. I think the site actually looks better with the hut gone Thanks Gorbak (&SG3) 2009-01-17T00:00:00Z TeamSwampy Found 2009-01-17 11:08 Found by Rebulus after initially dismissing it - I was actually taking photos and reminiscing about what the place used to look like when the Adamsfield Hilton was still here. This time I took the cachemobile further in and only had to walk 120m as NPWS have put in a rock barrier to prevent us from making this a drive by. Thanks for showing me the carnage of a bushfire - pity the Hilton has gone. 2009-01-17T00:00:00Z sirius Tas Found This cache find was actually 1 year and 1 day since my first visit to the then Hilton. Pity the hut has succumbed to the ravages of fire. It was also a little sad in that there were no more caches remaining to find....so returned to Clark's hut...getting late in the day...so decided to camp the night in quite a picturesque setting. There's something special in camping next to a stream...no one else around for miles...just the sounds of birds and burbling of the stream...the perfect end to a magic days caching...an experience I'll never forget. Some might think that there are too many caches here...not me...as you need quite a few just to get the real feel of the place...and make it ever so much more interesting. Many thanks Gorbak (& SG-3) for sharing your experiences with the rest of us....truly appreciated....Cheers. 2009-01-05T00:00:00Z gorbak Other Nature abhors a vacuum... 2009-01-02T00:00:00.000Z GA1328 No Surf or Sand Geocaching Australia http://geocaching.com.au/cache/ga1328 No Surf or Sand Geocache Geocache No Surf or Sand Calist Old Beach Tasmania Australia Traditional Regular 1.5 2

Can be accessed from a number of locations, easy to access. A great way is by using track around water's edge from Old Beach jetty in Jetty Road (heaps of parking available). Track is relatively flat and gives a great view across Derwent River. Area gets a bit windblown sometimes, hence a bit of rubbish ends up in the area ... sorry about that. No need to get wet. 2009-08-06T00:00:00Z gorbak Not Found I looked in lots of possible hidey-holes, but couldn't find it. Having read all the logs now, I'm wondering if I didn't extend my search quite far enough. I'll be back... 2009-05-01T00:00:00Z flange_1&tribe Found WOW there is some cash being spent around this area must be good paying jobs around the south....lol anyway gr8 hide in a nice queit location tnln tftc 2009-03-06T00:00:00Z If Found Yes I can confirm there was no surf nor sand today either. But after tip-toeing through the pigsfoot I did find the cache :) Access is easy across the empty block of land at present, but a footpath will still lead in when another house is built. 2009-02-21T00:00:00Z Dippedidooda Found I also took the alternative route to grab this one on my way north. Thanks Calist, nice spot. Nice to see that it will remain accessible even if the nearby empty block is built on. 2009-02-18T00:00:00Z TeamSwampy Found 2009-02-18 10:19 Was on my way north so a little detour was in order. Found after a bit of a search. Thanks. 2009-01-31T00:00:00Z Snuva Found Last find for Lottie and I on a pleasant drive. Just in case anyone was getting disappointed thinking I was no longer a klutz and wouldn't entertain you with my clumsy antics, I fell on my head at this cache. Yes - onto the top of my head. From the way I approached it I was headed downhill and Lottie was uphill of me. For some reason she didn't want to come too close, so the lead was quite tight. I didn't realise how much I was relying on the lead for balnace, and she suddenly came closer to me as I was reaching and stretching - so on my head I went. But I had a good view of the cache then! Thank you for the hide! 2009-01-30T00:00:00Z RapidSupreme Found On a hot day like today, I was always going to head for the water. It was quite breezy on the shoreline today which made a nice change from indoors! Had trouble finding the cache initially, but found it easily after exploring the shoreline. Thanks. 2009-01-23T00:00:00Z sirius Tas Found Cache #1 on 'Can I make it to 4 figures Tour' In the early hours..all muggles still tucked up...nice spot with heaps of ducks gliding by...so serene.

Nice hide. Thanks Calist 2009-01-06T00:00:00Z Cheesy pigs Not Found Saw that this cache was still unfound and had to have a go at it. Got to GZ with strong satellite strength and had a good look around the nominated area, then spread the net to "most likely looking spots". Unfortunately it was not to be. DN for the Cheesy pigs. Maybe the hint needs reinforcing :) 2009-01-06T00:00:00Z red tag Found Very nicely done Calist. Considering how new you are to caching you have done an impressive job of your first hide. My log almost would have read identically to CP's as I also expanded my search area but then for some reason I decided to go back to GZ and look 'deeper'.

On the ground level

Welcome fellow Cachers, to my cache. To get to my cache you have to travel to Maria Island on a boat trip. When you get there you can either camp, or stay at the Penitentionary. There is amazing wildlife, natural beauties and great tracks to either walk or bike-ride on. When going to my cache you come to dividing tracks and your GPS Receiver will tell you to take the track to the left. But I recommend that you take the right track and ride down to the geo-cache (It is a nice track.) Good Luck,  Sonic the super bird It is under a rock with bricks on top 2008-12-31T00:00:00Z Sonic the super bird Other Hello everyone, hope you enjoy this cache.

A MOST UNUSUAL PARK

This park is a montage of themes. There is a memorial to a fisherman lost trying to save a lone sailor, memorabilia of olden day fishing in the area and some most unusual carvings with a religious message. on top of that there is a covered barbecue an playground eqipment. All close to the wharf area too. Cache is small and easily found.  Difficulty tating reflects the stealth required. MUGGLES ABOUND SO STEALTH WILL BE THE ORDER OF THE DAY. IN THE ROCKS DIRECTLY BEHIND THE FIRST FENCE POST 2009-06-19T00:00:00Z flange_1&tribe Found Nice easy find after waiting for some (fish and chips eating) muggles to leave....lol Time to head to bed in the near by caravan park..(what a day) 2009-03-15T00:00:00Z If Found Lovely little park with plenty to see [:)] I remember that little restaurant across the street from many years ago too (well 1992 to be exact). A group of us did a few drives out this way from Launceston to have dinner here Saturday night and grab some fresh crayfish for Sunday lunch back in Lonnie [:P] Anyhoo back to the cache ... A few muggles were occupying the picinic shelter so I just sat down on a convenient spot and used my backpack as a cover as I grabbed the cache [:)] Too easy !! I wish all caches in muggle areas were that easy [^] TFTC. 2009-03-07T00:00:00Z beetles2 Found GPS sent beetle 1 to the wrong corner so beetle2 [me] found it in the obvious spot. This doesn't happen very often so thanks for the clue. 2009-03-01T00:00:00Z TeamSwampy Found 2009-03-01 14:45 Found it although the phone was saying 28m towards the water - what would a phone know anyway? Whilst logging, a group of people turned up to use the facilities - bugger. Replaced quickly and retreated to cachemobile to log, whilst watching them. TNLN, thanks. Logged as 29 Feb - thats what my watch said... 2009-02-09T00:00:00Z polfil Found Found it at 10:15. Coord. out 26m. TNLNSL. Thanks 2009-02-04T00:00:00Z greenegrass Found Cased this one earlier in the day, too many muggles, came back around 9.45pm and found no probs. TNLN SL Thanks 2009-01-31T00:00:00Z Neribil Found A nice spot under a shady bush for lunch and a cache to boost. Thanks 2009-01-31T00:00:00Z red tag Found Neribil and I picked this lovely park to have our lunch today. The sun was boiling hot and we found some relief sitting under the shade of a tree. From where we were sitting we spotted what we thought was where Divine Mercy might be hidden. So we formulated and executed a clever plan to retrieve it hopefully without being noticed by all the muggles that were having lunch there as well. It all went perfectly and the cache was logged and replaced with perfection. Thanks robtas for a special cache. 2009-01-13T00:00:00Z The Morris Found Found on our first evening in Stanley after a stroll from the caravan park. Coords had us 30 metres away but the clue made it easy. An interesting little park. TFTC 2009-01-13T00:00:00Z Dippedidooda Found Was able to fit in another quick find before visiting my friends for the afternoon. An interesting park. Coords also had me 25m away, but the clue made it very straightforward. Sat on the fence and took in the sun, and even though there were a few lunching and playing nearby, noone even looked my way as I retrieved and replaced. Thanks robtas. 2009-01-09T00:00:00Z sirius Tas Found I remember this tragedy well as I used to spend quite a lot of time at Stanley(my second home)...most of it at the rupperty tub tub....it's a great town and the loss of a young fisherman really rocked the place....but doing what they always do....trying to save the life of another. The community have done a great job with the park and is a very fitting memorial. Many thanks robtas...great spot for those that haven't been here...definitely worth visiting and browsing the various features. While you're here....fishing off the wharf certainly worth a try...Trevally should be on the move anytime from now....and if you can't catchem....plenty of seafood just a stones throw from the cache...can hardly tell I like the place!! TFTC...robtas...Cheers. 2009-01-08T00:00:00Z urch Found An easy find on our evening stroll around beautiful Stanley. Thanks for the hunt, Robtas. 2009-01-06T00:00:00Z deegees Found As the previous logs were all present at the placment of the cache, I'm claiming a FTF. Nice little park that we have often eaten our picnic lunches at. TNLNSL Thanks Robtas. 2008-12-31T00:00:00Z Cached Found A fascinating little park. They squashed a lot in here - the story of the lost sailor is quite sad. Not claiming the FTF as there when hidden. Thanks 2008-12-31T00:00:00Z The Wackys Found Not claiming FTF, there for the hide. Top little park. The stone was interesting, wondering how it was achieved.

TRIG POINTS AHOY

This cache is currently located at a trig point (behind fence post) on a very prominent landmark in Tasmania. it wants to move and be placed at another Trig point anywhere in Australia. RULES Only find and log if you intend to move it to another trig point.  So preplan the next location before finding. Finds only not acceptable, you must move it on. Relocate  within seven days please. Only one log per cacher. 2009-04-12T00:00:00Z March Brown Note Back out. A nice walk of around 900m each way for stunning views on a fine day. Cache is at southern leg behind rock marked with x. Use parking coordinates for Echo Sugarloaf and get that cache while you are there. 2009-04-11T00:00:00Z March Brown Found Found on dark with the help of Swampy. I had the spot picked out but it was so well hidden I did not see it till Swampy pointed it out and helped retrieve it from its hidey hole. Will put it out soon. Thanks Robtas 2009-04-09T00:00:00Z red tag Note I couldn't think of any trigs straight off the bat, except for the grand daddy of them all......so here it is! For this high muggle zone the following description may help: it's on the north side, between the trig and the pole (makes sense when you're there) in a crack between 2 larger rocks and marked by a tiny piece of concrete.......good luck! 2009-04-08T00:00:00Z red tag Found Found the precious Trig under Captain Hayes protection, we will now log it officially and count it as a find! Yay! 2009-04-01T00:00:00Z gorbak Note Despite the best laid preplans of mice and men (including consultation with the most cartographically gifted person I have ever known), the location where I chose to drop off this cache no longer has a trig point. )-: I thought about not leaving the cache, but the footings of an ex-trig point are still there, and next to the remains there is a huge rock cairn, so I figure that's the next best thing. Also, the views are amazing, so I figure it will be worth the trip for someone. The cache is hidden on the NW side of the rock cairn, 30cm above one of the footings of the former trig point, under a small piece of concrete. 2009-03-25T00:00:00Z gorbak Found I'm pre-logging this in anticipation of re-hiding it presently, as per the pre-instructions. BTW, "preplan" reminds me of when, as pre-service teachers, a certain lecturer had us include a "pre-preparation" section in our lesson plans. You know who you are, <cough> Sam <cough> Carter <cough>! (-: Seriously though, I like this moveable. I think it's a neat concept, robtas. I also like that I got to find it at the trig point that I am able to see out my window most mornings! 2009-03-17T00:00:00Z If Note What is going on with this little cache ? I wandered up to "Mt Rosny" to look for it a few days ago, but realised shortly after arriving that I had been beaten too it ! After climbing The Nut at Stanley a couple of days ago I saw yesterday that it was showing up there !! There is definitely a TRIG on The Nut, I saw it with my own eyes on the 15 MARCH 2009 AD at 11:15 am. Nutty if you ask me ;) 2009-03-17T00:00:00Z Dippedidooda Note I love it when a plan comes together...okay so it came together, blew apart, and was then re-pieced together in a new shape! Now in place at a new trig. Phew! It's a shame it's a one log per cacher only moveable - I like this one and there are so many other trigs I'm looking forward to going to. 2009-03-16T00:00:00Z Dippedidooda Note Okay so I had a location pre-planned but as it turned out someone's nicked the trig point (that's my story and I'm sticking to it)...drove up Mt Rumney today and there's every type of tower you can imagine but no trig there either. Okay so now it's on to Plan C. 2009-03-15T00:00:00Z Dippedidooda Note Happily walked up to where I was going to place it today only to find that there was no trig point there. I'm certain there was!!!! Who took the trig point??? Sorry, will find another very soon! 2009-03-06T00:00:00Z Dippedidooda Found I expected this to be an easy find but I got my comeuppance! Didn't think I'd need to use the GPS - but then I couldn't find it...so then the GPS said 4kms away (because I'd entered a number incorrectly. When I got everything right, I found it!!! Thanks robtas. Didn't have internet access till tonight, hoped noone had tried to find it in the meantime. 2009-03-03T00:00:00Z TeamSwampy Note Its moved. It is at the TRIG and is hidden in the base section of one of the TRIG legs. Accuracy at the time of placement was 3m. 2009-03-01T00:00:00Z TeamSwampy Found 2009-03-01 14:10 Found it after dodging tourists. Will replant shortly. Oh, this means *FTF* Logged as 29 Feb - thats what my watch said... 2009-02-09T00:00:00Z Neribil Note Hi Sirius, Are looking for a further hint or two? 2009-02-03T00:00:00Z red tag Note we both had Oregons and the coords were fairly good on Neribil's within about 3 meters but mine was a a fraction more :( 2009-02-01T00:00:00Z sirius Tas Note How did the co-ords pan out??? 2009-01-31T00:00:00Z Neribil Note Well, what can I say. Found this on a trip with redtag and signed the log. It was not until now I realize it was a movable and as I have not done this I cannot claim a first to find or even log the find. But what the heck at least I found it. 2009-01-31T00:00:00Z red tag Note NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO !!!! this is aweful ....... OMG if only we had of moved the thing. After the unbelievable effort Neribil put in finding this cache I can't believe we screwed up not moving it !! I had given up looking (more than once) and other than using physical force to drag Neribil away I just let him keep looking. I was convinced that he was wasting his time but he refused to give up and if ever a search was worthy of the reward for FTF I felt his was. Sorry Neribil .... I think the shock of you finding it threw me and I forgot that to log it we had to move it. TFTC robtas 2009-01-17T00:00:00Z urch Note I had a look a few days ago also, and also thought someone had taken it to move on. 2009-01-13T00:00:00Z The Morris Note Wasn't us. We were hoping to take with us on our travels. 2009-01-13T00:00:00Z sirius Tas Note Possibility I'm blind....but not going back to check. 2009-01-09T00:00:00Z sirius Tas Not Found I'm sure this cache has been found but not logged. Maybe waiting until they rehide....but if someone does have it....please log the find so people aren't coming up here for nothing.Cheers 2008-12-30T00:00:00Z robtas Other published 2008-12-27T00:00:00.000Z GA1050 Lorna Trips Geocaching Australia http://geocaching.com.au/cache/ga1050 Lorna Trips Geocache Geocache Lorna Trips deegees Sisters Beach Tasmania Australia Traditional Regular 1 4

A cache to encourage cachers to do the circuit of GA0769 (SEA CHANGE ANYONE?), GC13NDF (T' Cache Without a Name), and GC128P8 (Ken's Vision).  The total circuit is about 8Km, and the National Parks Service recommend that you take with you 2litres of water. This is a standard 1.2 litre Sistema container with the usual assorted goodies, and should be a quick easy find. Good hunting. At the base of the nearest tree. 2009-06-07T00:00:00Z TeamSwampy Found 2nd find of the day at 11:50. Cache found easily but getting there was half the fun (!) At one stage there was more water on the track than there was in the adjacent creek. Oh, well. NPWS will have some maintenance to do.... Thanks for the cache! 2009-03-16T00:00:00Z If Found I was itching for some bushwalking today and arrived at Sister's Beach at 8:30 am. First up was the stroll to the top of nearby Broadview Hill before heading back doone toward the falls and this cache. A nice easy find, but I trod lightly to not unduly increase the evidence of a geotrail forming here. TFTC. 2009-03-08T00:00:00Z beetles2 Found Standing there getting our bearings for the Doone Falls walk. Spotted tree and wandered over for a look and bingo. Expected from map that this one might have been further down track. 2009-01-22T00:00:00Z hookline Found Got this one on the way out from being thwarted by Sirius at Doone Falls. We were both cold and drenched. Tried not to get the nice dry log book drenched as well in the process of signing. The surrounding area was filled with wildflowers which helped brighten the gloomy weather. TFTC. 2009-01-14T00:00:00Z sirius Tas Found No need to do the circuit as have found all the others so decided to have a power walk in and out...feeling pretty fit after last two epic journeys on past Saturdays caching. Left just a tad after 1347 hrs...arrived at cache at 1419 hrs....the last 3/4 km to cache was averaging around 7kph. Took six min. to sign log...read others...take in the great view...powered back..arriving at tad over 1455 hrs...all up time of 68 min....considering how stifling the heat was...not too bad. For those that haven't been up this way...this is a great circuit walk...great views....pristine beaches...one to be recommended. Many thanks deegees for a top cache...great walk for all the family this one....well stocked cache too...TNLN...Cheers. 2009-01-11T00:00:00Z Neribil Found Out doing the full circuit and could not pass up the opportunity to collect this one even if I had to backtrack to the main track to Rocky cape. A nice easy find and then continued to the falls. It was pleasing to find the falls still had a bit of a flow for this time of the year. TNLN Thanks 2009-01-01T00:00:00Z Dippedidooda Found Yes, it did encourage me to do the circuit!!!! (I'd been wanting to do it for some time!) The walk was most enjoyable. Just as I was approaching the cache, a shower came in, so I waited it out under the next tree! Pleased to see a blank log book, half expected someone to overtake me and get there first, I was making so many stops for photos. On one such occasion, I was bending over getting my camera out of my bag and a movement caught my eye and I initially thought it was a black cat. When I looked I realised it was a small devil scampering back around the corner. So then I went back to getting my camera out, only to see it out of the corner of my eye coming back - but when I looked up he scampered off again. Quite curious! The masses of wild flowers in bloom were very pretty and I really enjoyed the whole walk. Went down to Doone Falls, and had my lunch there, before continuing on the circuit. The circuit is well worth doing, and I'd really recommend it, as there are so many features to enjoy - the views from the hill top, the waterfall, the nice beach, and then the caves. Thanks deegees, a great day. PS.

DEDICATED TO THE PEOPLE WHO SERVE OUR COMMUNITIES.

There are a lot of people in our communities whose aim is to help make life easier or better or just plain liveable.   Some are paid employees others are not. Each is dedicated in their service regardless and they deserve all the recognition they can get. We would be a much poorer place in which to live without them. The cache  must not be hidden on private property or in any way disturb the operation of the facility. it must be hidden close to a place similar to where it was found. Only two logs per cacher with at least three logs between finds. Cache to remain within Tasmania please. This will most likely be a high muggle area so be careful 2009-08-03T00:00:00Z Cheesy pigs Found Found thia cache quite easily and thought the placement was so wonderful tht we left it in place. If we can think of a suitable place we shall move it on. Thanks Robtas 2009-05-31T00:00:00Z Dippedidooda Note The administration headquarters of The Salvation Army. They seem to do so many different things in the community. Remember not to leave the street. 2009-05-23T00:00:00Z Dippedidooda Found Man, that bush (whilst only little) was prickly! Got it on the last go that I was going to have! Will find another spot for it soon. 2009-04-25T00:00:00Z Fairly Magic Not Found Had a good look with gloves, used the hint and didn't find this one. Cheers Quilter 2009-04-19T00:00:00Z Fairly Magic Note Went looking for this one, but had too much geocringe. I knew where it was but can you believe there were people sitting in a car watching me. A girl can only pretend to be on the phone for sooooo long :) I'll be back! While waiting I saw lots of community service folk. First an ambulance, then a police car then a fire truck, all with lights blazing and sirens blaring. Cheers Quilter 2009-03-04T00:00:00Z Snuva Found I'm not allowed to give blood because I lived in England; what, they think I'm a mad cow?! But maybe I'm actually glad. . . A quick grab from under their noses. 2009-03-04T00:00:00Z Snuva Note As close as I could reasonably get it to the Royal Guide Dogs for the Blind offices. I'm always so impressed with these clever and well trained dogs. It really takes a lot to train a Guide Dog - just ask the energizers! 2009-02-21T00:00:00Z red tag Note Red Cross are a great community service. They are particularly in need of donations with all the tragedy in Victoria at the moment and even though Mr red tag hates needles he comes regularly with me to donate blood. We always race each other to see who can fill their bag first but fainting is an immediate disqualification in my rules so I mostly win :) Cache is in the tiny garden near the stairs. Its between the two rocks under a piece of tile. Thanks for the cache robtas 2009-02-20T00:00:00Z red tag Found found easily..... 2009-02-16T00:00:00Z TeamSwampy Note Another community service to which I used to belong. 2009-02-09T00:00:00Z TeamSwampy Found Found after leaving and returning to Richmond, will relocate soon 2009-02-03T00:00:00Z gorbak Found It's a bit of shock to be back at work, but it helps that there are a few new caches along the way, so thanks SnP for just so happening to choose that location. And thanks for the hint! It was a fine place to visit, but I wouldn't have been too keen on conducting a thorough search in that area. 2009-02-03T00:00:00Z gorbak Note What good timing. We just so happened to passing by a suitable location this evening. It's not in or on the building, but please make sure you've got the hint, just in case. 2009-02-01T00:00:00Z Sog n Paulus Note It's finally out! And it's down South. Our apologies to those trying to find it. We had to wait a day or to for internet access before we could log it. Then we had a whole bunch of BBQs, weddings, birthdays etc. to celebrate. It was hell I tell you! The cache is not illegally placed, but it is in an area prone to muggle-type activity and you probably won't want to hang around long, so read the hint... 2009-01-17T00:00:00Z madchilli Note Where is it? 2009-01-16T00:00:00Z sirius Tas Not Found Ditto M/Mob....GRRRRRRRRR. Hadn't read the last logs...so no hope. I didn't waist much time as so many places it could have been given the co-ords. 2009-01-05T00:00:00Z michaels mob Not Found This is why these moveable caches are not really ones I 'rush out to find' but may be that's what you really need to do!! Had a couple of goes at this one 'today the 5th' as the first attempt was halted by the 'multi skilled' ambo driver cutting the lawn around GZ. Had a really good look the second time around with no luck, convinced that someone had already got this cache before I got here. Using the hint provided I was sure I was looking in the right spot. When I got home and went to log this DNF you can see why I couldn't find it!!!!!! That log 'BELOW' wasn't there before I left home around midday today.........Grrrrrrrrrrrr 2009-01-04T00:00:00Z Sog n Paulus Found Got'im. Will move it on down South soon. 2008-12-31T00:00:00Z GabMil Note Moved to another nearby community service which without we could almost certainly die.... 2008-12-29T00:00:00Z madchilli Note My apologies Redtag, I put the coords in the wrong datum, AGD66 instead of WGS84, GabMil rang me today when they couldnt find them so I double checked and whoops 2008-12-29T00:00:00Z GabMil Found Found it. Will move it along shortly. 2008-12-27T00:00:00Z red tag Not Found Think the heat might have been starting to get to either me or the gps as the compass wanted me to search in the middle of the intersection and I didn't fancy becoming a speed hump. 2008-12-25T00:00:00Z madchilli Note Moved to a northern town that has become a hive of caching activity of late.......come and find me 2008-12-23T00:00:00Z madchilli Found Off again 2008-12-21T00:00:00Z 3daygrowth Note Its out again.

SIMILAR TO COMMUNITY SERVICE ONLY THIS IS ABOUT CLUBS

BEING A PROUD MEMBER OF A LOCAL SERVICE CLUB (LIONS)  I FEEL THEY ALL SHOULD BE RECOGNISED IN SOME SMALL WAY. This cache is hidden near a sign which shows who all the local service clubs are and where they meet. The cache should be rehidden near a similar group of these signs which are a part of the character and makeup of their communities. Only two logs per cacher with at least three logs between finds.

We were there for around 20 minutes checking and rechecking but couldn't find it.

Keep up the good work. 2009-02-09T00:00:00Z If Found As I was strolling around the well served community of Latrobe, I noticed this cache just down the street :) A short detour later and I had it in my hand. I'm sure I'll find another town very soon with so many willing volunteers to look after this cache :D 2009-01-27T00:00:00Z sirius Tas Note Couldn't find any other signs within Tas....so back where it came. 2009-01-13T00:00:00Z sirius Tas Found Easy peasy.

It might also help to know that I'm left-handed. 2009-04-08T00:00:00Z DnA! Found Kaos has infiltrated Control.

Mind you, when the Google phone drops a bit in price I might be tempted to switch camps... 2009-03-15T00:00:00Z Dippedidooda Note Placed it here as a bit of extra incentive for the new caches in this area - the one at Ralph's Bay and at Honeywood Drive.

To get to the cache walk along the Arm River Track to lake price continue on till you cross Warragurra and head up onto the bordwalk and start to head down to Lake Ayr the track will flatten off when u get to another bord walk this is the best place to enter. the track is now quite well marked so shouldn't be too hard to follow.  This crash i have been told happend in the 70's and both ocupants walked away. find the stump and you will find the cache 2009-02-09T00:00:00Z geoskid Found Went into Pelion Hut to re-supply a food cache yesterday, so decided to find this cache today on the way out. Had wanted to try to find this crash site before a cache was there but had'nt got around to it. I kept a look out on the way in for the pad leaving the Arm River Track and found it OK - A retired FT Surveyor has kindly put some discrete pink tape near the start of the pad. The pad is quite distinct and easy to follow, gets a little harder once down in the forest but by then quite clost to GZ. It was quite exciting finding this wreck in the middle of nowhere, certainly would'nt stumble upon it by accident. The cache was found quite easily thanks to the new hint and all is well with it. Excellent cache Wandering Blister, Thanks 2009-01-03T00:00:00Z Dippedidooda Found Despite the fact that I never would have been there if it wasn't for Sirius, he assured me that I could take the FTF seeing that I happened to find it first. And I'm not the argumentative type!!! (But I do feel a bit of a fraud). Thank you Wandering Blister, for a most interesting cache location - it really is unique. We took quite a while to find the cache, so were relieved and pleased when it finally reared its smooth plastic head. A bit of a steep pinch back out to the track again, and we continued on our way. Thanks, top cache. 2009-01-03T00:00:00Z sirius Tas Found Found the feint start of the pad to the cache without too much trouble but the head scratching started on trying to find the cache as the GPSr was all over the shop. Only after 10 min. or so of thorough searching saw 'Dippy' retrieving the cache from its hidey hole for a well deserved FTF. Certainly an unusual and unique site with the remains scattered among the King Billy Pines. This site just confirms my fear of flying...lol. A great cache...many thanks Wandering Blister...Cheers. 2008-12-14T00:00:00Z geoskid Note Excellent one Wandering Blister, I had heard of this crash site but hadnt been able to pin down an exact location, had a rough idea from a thread on the (www.bushwalk-tasmania.com) forum, - now you have made it so much simpler to find, and a cache to boot!- Thanks Apparently the plane was doing a food drop to a Boys Brigade camped in Lees Paddocks when it came to grief. 2008-12-14T00:00:00Z Wandering Blister Other 2008-12-12T00:00:00.000Z GA1302 The Devils Gauntlet F - Projection Bluff Geocaching Australia http://geocaching.com.au/cache/ga1302 The Devils Gauntlet F - Projection Bluff Geocache Geocache The Devils Gauntlet F - Projection Bluff sirius Tas Golden Valley Tasmania Australia Traditional Regular 1.5 3

As this cache belongs to a series...PLEASE NOTE conditions at cache....   <a href="../../../cache/ga1150">geocaching.com.au/cache/ga1150</a> This cache is at an altitude of 1300m and will take you to the northern edge of the Central Plateau Conservation Area and as with all of Tassies alpine areas please take all appropriate precautions. Access can be gained from the Lake Highway at  S41 43.396 E146 43.441 A quite steep and tortuous climb should see you on the plateau within 30 min. or so. Additional pink tape has been placed as the  track zigs and zags quite often. Once on the plateau the track skirts around a rocky outcrop and then basically follows the edge of the escarpment. The track is well marked with rock cairns and additional pink tape. The track has some sheer vertical drops along the way....so please take care...more so if accompanied by pets or the younger brigade. Canines are allowed into the CPCA but you require a FREE 'Companion Dog Permit' which is available from Parks at MoleCreek....and by following some simple guidelines. On a clear day ...views of Bass Strait and all mountain ranges south, east and west can be had. Beware of the sheer vertical drop within 3m of GZ. The cache is a black 1.2lt sistema with logbook, pencil, code printouts, 3 Tassie Devil badges for first 3 finders(no swap required) and usual swaps. Enjoy! At ground level under large rock slab 3m from vertical drop. 2009-04-13T00:00:00Z BrizzyB3lla Found a very long walk to get to this cache but definitely worth the effort, great views from on the top. wearing long pants is a must, i recommend this one to all 2009-04-13T00:00:00Z CarrollEyre Found We were blessed with crystal clear horizons today when we reached this cache that enabled us to see Bass Strait off Ulverstone and Hawley Beach, Beaconsfield, Westbury, Cradle Mountain and an intriguing looking summit identified as Ironstone Mountain. Our party of ten had a great walk up form the car park to the summit with little 4 year old legs capably coping with the climb to the plateau. And then things turned ugly. We were wearing shorts, no gaiters and those alpine plants have lots of pointy leaves. Ouch. We were able to follow the markers across the plateau but the constant scratching was demoralising. The views were worth it, the cache easily found and the carried beer truly appreciated. We brought down more bottles than we carried up though. This is a fabulous walk Sirius, many thanks for placing this cache here. The next one on our list should be Ironstone..... 2009-02-15T00:00:00Z CraigRat Found 1st non-virtual cache for me for 2009, and it did not disappoint! Horus and myself have committed ourselves to 'One good walk a month' and I thought this walk was just what the doctor ordered. and I was right. A steep but rewarding climb to the top, stunning views and a cache to boot. Heaven. Took many photos, and soaked up the vista, and even in the haze it was beautiful. If I can do a cache like this every months, I will be a very happy chappy. Thanks Sirius, your cache locations are tops! 2009-02-15T00:00:00Z Horus Found Yes I found a cache!! It's been a long time since I stopped caching seriously, I still have a slight interest. So as part of CraigRat and my commitment to doing "One good (bush)walk a month" in the interest of getting out and exploring our fine state we tackled this one for our second walk of the year. A fine walk it was too with views that never tire, even on a hazy day like today. Cache was found after a short search of the area, we then settled down for lunch before setting off back to the car. Took koosh ball thingy and left lapel pin. Oh and having now read the cache page I see it's part of a MEGA series, not good for a person that teeters near the edge of the obsessive compulsive precipice. Might have to up it to TWO good walks a month :-) Thanks Sirius Tas. 2009-02-12T00:00:00Z hookline Found What surprises me about all these Gauntlet caches (apart from how great they are) is how uniquely and characteristically different they all are. No mountain is like another, and even when you think you know what to expect, you don't. One of the things I loved most about this climb was the mosses and lichens all draped on the weathered, gnarled trees and rocks; with the sun trickling through it was like some kind of enchanted wonderland. Then of course the plateau itself with scoparia and other wildflowers stretching out in colourful clumps as far as the eye can see and the exciting clifftop walk and grand views. It was all awesome. 2009-01-25T00:00:00Z Dippedidooda Found Wow - another great walk - I'm getting to see so many amazing places in Tassie that I'm sure I wouldn't have done otherwise (well, not so quickly anyway). It was nice that the climb up didn't seem to take so long, but then it was a good walk across the plateau. Once again I took a heap of photo stops. No need for rollercoaster rides - that path next to the sheer drop at the edge of the escarpment is thrilling enough!!! Cache was perfectly placed and should stay safe and sound in its protected spot. I found myself zigging and zagging on the way back a few times, following what I thought was the track only to see a marker back over on the path that I didn't take (and the one I'm following now not there) Uncanny how that happens. The tape (in addition to the markers and cairns already present) were invaluable. Mind you I had my waypoints as back-up too. Weather was perfect. Glad I wore long trousers! Thank you Sirius. 2008-12-14T00:00:00Z Neribil Found 3daygrowth was keen to find this one so off we set on a very windy and overcast morning. The climb up was a bit slippery due to recent rain and on the plateau it was hard walking in the wind. Cache was located without difficulty and we were the FTF. Due to low cluds restricting the views there was no point hanging about so it was a quick retreat back to the car. Always a good walk in this area and looking fordward to more from you Sirius. Took badge. Thanks 2008-12-14T00:00:00Z 3daygrowth Found Neribil had got wind of an imminent attack by a couple of Southern upstarts so pulled me out of bed at some ungodly hour. I reluctantly agreed, so off we went - he had to drive due to my overindulgence at the office party the previous night. Nice climb to get the blood circulating then once on the plateau didnt bother with the track and just followed the arrow. Nice empty logbook greeted us. Yay! FTF for the Northerners! Another quality cache in the series. Many thanks Sirius......I'd rather do one cache like this than a dozen drivebys. BTW MB - I'm not a bugger....and I'm definately NOT OLD 2008-12-14T00:00:00Z red tag Found It appears that the Northern/Southern rivalry is well and truly on (and strong!) ...... ME AND MY BIG MOUTH!! We were only about 100 meters into the walk when we spotted the first signs that someone was here not long before us. There was no sign of any car at the parking coords and two different sets of geriatric looking footprints meant it was unlikely to be one of the two trips sirius made over the last few days. Hmmm could it be geoskid?, Strebor Wanderers?, Hookline?, or maybe Neribil and 3DG??? We continued on up the escarpment and then the lovely walk across the plateau to the cache. Spot on coords (as always) meant a quick easy find and I took loads of pictures (as always). Congrats to 3DG and Neribil for FTF. Thanks for this excellent series of caches Sirius. The legs are getting a good workout and so is the competitive nature in me, but best of all I am seeing places that I am certain I wouldn't have seen if it wasn't for your amazing effort in these cache locations. Thanks 2008-12-14T00:00:00Z March Brown Found Yes I know why 3DG and Neribil were keen as red tag had let the cat out and you 2 old buggers rushed off to beat us there. Well next time you will have to be quick as the cache won't even have time to cool down from being in sirius's bag by the time I find it. We had perfect weather and not a drop of rain. Magnificent views and a fabulous cache location. Thanks sirius for a top cache. 2008-12-14T00:00:00Z sirius Tas Note Hey...you guys/gals are hot off the mark...cache had barely time to cool down. Great effort to all. Cheers 2008-12-14T00:00:00Z The Strebor Wanderers Note Drat Christmas dos! We were unavoidably elsewhere for the weekend and hoping to collect this FTF this week. Well done all of you for being so quick. 2008-12-13T00:00:00Z sirius Tas Note Hey redtag....I was probably still up there as I had to go back and shift the cache which I had on a prominent knob 1.5km across the plateau...but later found out it wasn't the highest point...so this cache has taken two trips and 6.5 hrs of solid walking to get it right....but definitely worth it...at least I'm getting fitter..lol. BTW...it's pouring up here today...so cache may be safe from those keen northerners for this weekend any way??? 2008-12-12T00:00:00Z sirius Tas Other After my 2nd trip around this plateau it's all systems go. Enjoy! 2008-12-12T00:00:00Z red tag Note sirius you have got to be kidding me.....I drove past here yesterday (after doing The Devils Gauntlet B) and I had time to kill..... those obsessed northern cachers are going to beat me to those badges again ..... ohh .... whats a tired girl to do ???? 2008-12-10T00:00:00.000Z GA1299 CACHING MADNESS Geocaching Australia http://geocaching.com.au/cache/ga1299 CACHING MADNESS Geocache Geocache CACHING MADNESS ROBTAS Burnie Tasmania Australia Other Small 1.5 1.5

BEING IN A TRAFFIC AREA IT WANTS TO MOVE MOVE MOVE!

I love moveable caches and this one (like others) is made to be moved around by mobile cachers. Please place it in a similar location to the type where you found it. If gps reception is blocked please give a good hint. Only two logs per cacher please with three logs between finds. cache has log and pencil only. It is NOT magnetic. Given the style of location please practice safe caching. Have fun. chest height, number 5 2009-06-17T00:00:00Z Boagsratz Not Found Looked around but was not able to find this one...The GPS was pointing several metres away from where I would expect to look, but that would be too close to the local fauna... 2009-06-02T00:00:00Z CarrollEyre Not Found Hmmmmn could not find this after two searches. Not going to do five, had a look at chest height, couldn't find anything resembling it. Enough to send me mad about caching. 2009-03-09T00:00:00Z forthferalz Other 2009-03-09T00:00:00Z forthferalz Note not magnetic but it sticks! this is a great size cache too BTW.

Nice spot - the ned kelly machine in the window is great fun for kids - drop a coin in when the gallery is open. 2009-01-28T00:00:00Z Dippedidooda Note Re-hidden. The instructions are to "Please place it in a similar location to the type where you found it." I have done that: it is definitely in a similar location to where I found it, but I think the "similar location" could be interpreted differently. You can probably guess pretty well, but if unsure, send an email to me and I'll confirm. I don't know if it's supposed to be at the end of, or under. 2009-01-25T00:00:00Z Dippedidooda Found Found: nice hide. Might take a couple of days to get to a correct sort of location - aren't many of those up Elliott way... thanks for the cache robtas. I've got a place in mind, I just have to get there and see if there's somewhere suitable to hide it. 2009-01-20T00:00:00Z sirius Tas Note Sorry it took so long..but ended up with 3 locationless caches to move on. Cheers. 2009-01-15T00:00:00Z sirius Tas Found Find # 21 on my "OMG I've finally ran out of caches tour" Found with a little hint....as had no idea where I was supposed to be looking.

Take a stroll through enchanting forest, of tall ferns and myrtle trees. Follow the arrows so you don't get lost and behold a sight you'll see. The cache is hidden before the end of the path, to the desired sight, so keep walking down the track to an interesting delight. For those more adventurous, explore here with care, but great caution is needed for those with youngsters there.

Fantastic! This is a brilliant cache! I wish I had taken a torch with me! I was so busy exploring I nearly forgot about the cache. Absolutely superb! TNL mondo and a pen. Thanks. Parking and trail head approx S41 04.116 E145 06.376. I missed the trail head sign when looking at the parking spot and kept going... Logged as 29 Feb - thats what my watch said... 2009-01-12T00:00:00Z urch Found Wow!! What an incredible place! A magical walk through the forest and then quite blown away by the view through the window. We had lunch here on our way further south. The 'back streets' in this area are also beautiful scenic hills and farmlands. Am quite astounded that Trowila Arch is not more signposted - if not for this cache we would never have ventured near here. Thanks so much for putting one here, greenegrass. 2009-01-08T00:00:00Z sirius Tas Found On way home after taking shortcut from Dismal Swamp. Once again...absolutely ashamed I've never been here considering working in the area for so long. I guess in those younger days there were other priorities. Certainly not disappointed...fantastic spot...lovely rain forest walk to cache....and wow....stunning at the end....and went to take some pics...oh no...camera back in pack...darn. On a bit of a tight schedule...back at car...damn..I'm going back in with camera this time...so two trips to cache in 30 min. Just couldn't bear the thought of not having some pics to remember the place by...awesome spot. As 3DG said....would sooner do 1 of these caches than 100 drivebys.

The second cache placed along the Western Creek Track which will take you onto the edge of the Central Plateau and approx. halfway to Ironstone Mountain. As you're entering the plateau...please take all necessary precautions and take appropriate clothing as the weather can and will change very quickly. Access is as per cache Western Creek Falls....simply continue on the same track...where you'll come to the main Western Creek crossing. Although relatively easy to cross...it is a little obscure...co-ords are S41 41.775 E146 28.153 Pink tape has been added to both sides and there is an orange track marker on the approach or eastern side. The track should be quite easy to follow .... marked with rock cairns and pink tape. Norm Whiteleys hut should soon be in view. This is a very rustic tin shelter which may not look much to some....but in inclement weather would seem like the 'Hilton' and very welcome indeed. No doubt this hut has been here for quite a long time and would have been placed when cattle grazing was prominent. From here....Ironstone Mountain is quite prominent and the Trig clearly visible...in good weather of course. Approximate return time will be around 3.5 - 5 hrs. The cache is a black 200ml sistema with logbook and pencil only. Enjoy! Centre of largish rock. 2009-01-17T00:00:00Z geoskid Found Enjoyed reaching the plateau, the change in scenery was amazing, was looking forward to getting on top and viewing all of the lakes. The hut soon came into view and we were only about 400 m in front of 3 muggles, so had to find and log quickly, which we did. Checked out the hut which was well set up inside. The muggles soon arrived and had a chat, they were keen fishers who were going to stay 2 nights and fish a few lakes nearby, sounded perfect - something I might do in the future. On to the summit which was clearly visible. Thanks Sirius. 2009-01-17T00:00:00Z L.A.B Found this was a great walk and such a rush as geoskid and i had muggles on our backs. . . not literally of course. anyways thanks heaps was a good one. 2009-01-14T00:00:00Z hookline Found The trek to Norm's Shack seemed to take forever (but we did stop for many rest breaks and cooling down along the way). Eventually the plateau was reached. Ack! No tree cover!! Despite the beauty and remoteness of the place the sun was unbearable so the shelter of the shack, when we finally reached it, was very welcome. Even though it was getting late by the time we'd rested and had a look around (about 6.30pm), we set off for Ironstone (not thinking about other obsessed cachers coming up behind us and stealing the prize... no, not at all...) but had some problems following Sirius' waypoints. They didn't seem the most reasonable way to get to our destination. So we headed back to the shack to avoid blundering around the mountain and marshes in the dark. Spent the night in the shack, which was surprisingly cosy and comfortable, and resolved to find our own way up the mountain next morning. Forgot to mention that I neglected to write down the coords for this or Western Creek Falls, so both caches were found only by the hints (which were thankfully very good). 2008-12-23T00:00:00Z March Brown Found Found on the way up to Ironstone Mountain. Obviously a well used hut and would be a warm little haven in bad weather. Good spot to stop for a rest and a cache on the way up. Thanks Sirius 2008-12-18T00:00:00Z Neribil Found Once again in the company of 3daygrowth and Redtag we reached Norms shack at the top of the Western creek track. With spot on co-ords the cache was soon in hand making this the second FTF for the trip. Top area to have a break before heading up to claim the final part of the first in the Devils Gauntlet series. Thanks Sirius 2008-12-18T00:00:00Z 3daygrowth Found Having travelled through the gully and onto the plateau the walking was easy. Spied the hut (which looked quite comfortable) and cache was soon found. I stayed at a safe distance while the more juvenile members of the troop played "hide the banana" Not quite sure who won the game, but it was very entertaining as was the whole trip. Thanks so much Sirius.....another gem. 2008-12-18T00:00:00Z red tag Found With the weather still on our side it was easy going from Western Creek Falls to Norms Shack. From the outside the shack looked pretty shabby but inside it was surprisingly a cosy little self contained hut. It certainly would be a lifesaver if you needed it, and maybe if you shut your eyes it could almost be the Hilton! Once we arrived at GZ the three of us had the typical desperate scramble racing for the cache and my attempt to take out Neribil with a banana skin backfired totally (you would think I would have learnt by now not to try and beat these guys!) but I haven't!!! ... so I figure if you can't beat 'em then join 'em and that's what I did for the next section of the walk up Ironstone Mountain.

Access to this cache is via Westrope Road which turns off the main Western Creek Road. The access spur....Westrope 2 & Western Ck. track are well sign posted. Parking area is at S41 40.568 E146 28.622 From the car park...please don't blindly follow the sign posted Western Creek track...as this is the old original track and quite rough walking. From the car park facing the tiers...a newer track(part of the sign posted loop track) commences slightly to your left heading south from the car park. The beginning is a little obscure...once found the track zig zags quite steeply at first then levels out to a more gentle climb. After 10-15 minutes a small spring can be found which is the only water before reaching the falls. Their are small sections with some rock scrambling with the track a little obscure .... but I've placed extra pink tape here. The falls should be reached in 40m or so. If you have pets or younger children... be careful here as you'll be standing above the last section of the falls. The cache is on the approach side of the creek...so no need to cross unless continuing on to other caches at Norms' Shack or Ironstone Mountain(part of Devils Gauntlet series). The cache is a black 200ml sistema with logbook and pencil only. Enjoy! To your left facing the falls, base of rock face, tad over head height. 2009-01-17T00:00:00Z geoskid Found Started walking at 8.20 with a friend that we introduced to Caching, my main target was Devils Gauntlet E, but she was more than happy to find this cache and Norms Shack. Was a sunny day and a great walk up the gully. Got to the falls and the GPS was consistently pointing to the lower falls, downhill from the track. We made our way down and looked for ages in all sorts of spots that did'nt quite match the clue, had a good clambour all over the place down there before climbing back up to the track and looking for something that matched the clue. LAB found the cache in a spot that once found made perfect sense. On to Norms Shack. Noticed Hookline had been there 3 days before us. A cache in a good spot to break up the walk. Thanks Sirius. 2009-01-17T00:00:00Z L.A.B Found now this one was a bit tricky. me and geoskid climbed down this slippery slope bit looking and looking for this cache, after a while i checked up the top and it all fell into place what a relief! thank you for the cache and what a lovely waterfall. 2009-01-14T00:00:00Z hookline Found I had to ponder, when setting out for Ironstone, whether doing this in 30 degree heat was a really sensible idea. My little 2wd Pulsar nearly overheated on the road leading in. Thankfully the point between the engine nearing critical and the start of the track wasn't very far. Didn't dare try driving all the way to the designated carpark but parked in a safe spot just in from the turnoff and walked the 200m or so to the start of the track. Took about three steps up the road with my pack and felt ready to turn it in... but this WAS Ironstone, and potential for a 3rd to find. So somehow we plodded on in the heat. The little spring on the way was marvellous, we sat and ate lunch and drank cool, clear mountain water. The falls, when we reached them weren't much to look at as they'd dried to a trickling puddle. They tasted good, though. And were easy to cross. Before heading on we took a dip in the inviting pool at the bottom, but the water was a bit too cold. Freezing water and blowtorch sun, not a great combination. Somewhere in the blazing heat a cache was found and something scribbled in it. Was encouraged that the last person was March Brown, so we were still on track for 3rd... 2008-12-23T00:00:00Z March Brown Found first stop on the way up to the plateau. these would be good with a lot of water but very pleasant today. Had a swim in one of the pools up the track a bit. The water is so clear. Thanks Sirius 2008-12-18T00:00:00Z Neribil Found In the company of 3daygrowth and Red tag we set off up the Western creek track in fine but overcast conditions. This is a beautiful area and its nice to have a reason to return once again. Reached the waterfall and the cache was soon in hand, logged and returned to is place. Off then to Norms hut. A top area to visit so thanks Sirius for your efforts. 2008-12-18T00:00:00Z 3daygrowth Found Great walk - very pretty, some lovely pools along the way that would have been very tempting in summer. Cache soon in hand, and on to Ironstone. 2008-12-18T00:00:00Z red tag Found Nice easy walk and once again we were fortunate with the weather.......although every now and then it seemed to get a little windy following the boys. The falls were very pretty and well worth visiting.

As this cache belongs to a series...PLEASE NOTE conditions at cache....   <a href="../../../cache/ga1150">geocaching.com.au/cache/ga1150</a> This cache is the 5th in the series, hence you will need to have found the caches at A,B,C & D to get the true cordinates. As you will be entering the Central Plateau proper... please take all necessary precautions...this is quite an isolated place where conditions can and often do change rapidly...even in summer. This summit is at an altitude of1444m and is quite exposed...so please only attempt in ideal weather... nothing less....I can't stress these points too much. Access can be obtained in a variety of ways but I believe that the route described here may be the most direct. Follow the Western Creek Track as descibed in caches Western Creek Falls & Norms' Shack. From Norms' Shack follow the pad south marked with cairns and pink tape until adjacent to the northern end of Lake Ironstone. At wpt10  S41 42.822 E146 27.652 is possibly the best point to head around the rocky crag and up a gully to the main plateau. Please note that there is no defined track or pad.....as such you will need to find the best route. The following wpts from here to the plateau may help...but they are a guide only. A full description with map can be found on... http://bushwalk-tasmania.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=714&p=11553#p11553 wpt10 S41 42.822 E146 27.652.........approx. point where I left the formed pad. wpt9   S41 42.883 E146 27.731 wpt8   S41 42.882 E146 27.816 wpt7   S41 42.858 E146 27.939 wpt6   S41 42.834 E146 28.069 wpt5   S41 42.804 E146 28.259 wpt4   S41 42.798 E146 28.399 Trig     S41 42.688 E146 28.624 The 360 deg. views from here are awesome and a large number of lakes clearly visible. The cache is a black 1.2lt sistema with logbook, pencil, swaps, code printouts and 3 Tassie Devil Keyrings for FTF(no swap required).

Noticed Hookline found but obviously hasn't had time to log yet, so that makes me 4th - need to extract my digit methinks! Used the waypoint coords as a helpful guide, however could see clearly from my 1:25,000 map the gully route to take. Once on the flat at top of gully it was great to pick out the various lakes, could even clearly see the hut at the bottom of Lake Nameless, and Barn Bluff, Cradle and the Walls were easily distinguishable. Once at the top the hunt for the cache began, and it was nearly a caching disaster. When I did Devils Gauntlet C last weekend I took a slip of paper with the number on it, put it in my shirt pocket, and put it thru the washing machine once back at the caravan park - Doh! I was pretty sure I had remembered the number correctly, however after 45mins of thoroughly searching doubt set in. Another number kept popping into my mind, so still with doubt I plugged it into the formula and went searching and soon after LAB uncovered the cache - the relief was immense! The number I originally used was C-30, and the resulting coords had us about 60m away! We could clearly see Norms Hut from the trig, so after a leisurely lunch we decided to return by going straight down the front, aiming for the track part way between the top of the Western creek gully and Norms Shack, and it worked a treat. We got from the trig to carpark in 1hr 50mins, however all up time from carpark to carpark was 7hr 40mins - certainly no record, but we had a fantastic day! Thanks very much Sirius. 2009-01-15T00:00:00Z hookline Found Like Neribil and geoskid, we opted to find our own way up via the tree-lined gully to the right of the trig. We followed the path from Norm's Shack to the lone pine and bleached log, then turned left across the marsh towards the ridge. The approximate waypointlist we followed: 8BACK1 S41 42.376 E146 27.852 (55G 455423 5382698) alt:1216 8BACK2 S41 42.533 E146 28.215 (55G 455927 5382410) alt:1310 8BACK3 S41 42.568 E146 28.226 (55G 455944 5382346) alt:1343 8BACK4 S41 42.672 E146 28.337 (55G 456098 5382153) alt:1381 8BACK5 S41 42.708 E146 28.356 (55G 456126 5382088) alt:1395 8BACK6 S41 42.714 E146 28.396 (55G 456180 5382077) alt:1413 8BACK7 S41 42.745 E146 28.439 (55G 456240 5382020) alt:1427 8BACK8 S41 42.757 E146 28.518 (55G 456351 5381999) alt:1435 Coordinates aren't very accurate, +/-10m, so people shouldn't try to follow this track too closely. They should follow the easiest path up they can find, especially in the steeper, more dense area, where the best paths zigzag around. Once we broke the tree cover, we were greeted with a magnificent display of wildflowers covering the mountainside. Followed trails through the flowers and along the ridgetop till the trig and pink tape was in sight. Excitement grew. Cache was found without any problems and... VICTORY WAS OU-- I mean, I logged the cache with a freezing wind blowing all around and took the last devil keyring with much gladness and a profound sense of accomplishment. Views of the lakes, mountains and meander valley spread out below were amazing. Wind was too cold and strong to enjoy it for long, so I hurriedly snapped some shots with my camera batteries dying and we headed back down. Norm's Shack to trig point: about 2 hours. Trip back to the car was a lot quicker than the way up being downhill and temperature more reasonable. Wow, Sirius, what a fantastic series! Looking forward to the next one! 2008-12-24T00:00:00Z sirius Tas Note Wowee....what an outstanding effort over 4 days March Brown...congrats on your 2TF. 2008-12-23T00:00:00Z March Brown Found Got up this morning and thought well this is the end of a great cache series but then realised that hopefully there are more to come. Weather was perfect and the walk up as expected. Spent quite a while on the summit looking down at lakes where I have been fishing but not walked up from the north to. Today is the end of 4 days with the primary aim being finishing the first 5 Devils gauntlet caches, 4 mountain peaks 3 of which I have not climbed before, 1 river valley walk and now I am sitting in the shade of a tree in Deloraine pondering the trip home. I am a bit tired and have a couple of small injuries. I am the second to find having found all 4 of the previous caches. This trip took 6.25 hours in total including a swim in a quite cold and very clear water pool of western creek. Cant thank you enough Sirius for putting this together with track marking and clearing etc that you have done as well. Thanks again 2008-12-19T00:00:00Z sirius Tas Note Hearty congrats to Neribil for FTF....great effort. Have also updated series rules just to clarify my intentions. Well done to all for all your efforts thus far...certainly making for an interesting series. Cheers all. 2008-12-18T00:00:00Z Neribil Found In the company of 3daygrowth and Redtag we set off from Norms shack on the plateau and headed up the track for approx. 500m before turning up towards the gully that leads to the right of the trig point. As I have been to the summit a number of times I convinced the others that I knew the way without resorting to the waypoints kindly provided by Sirius. After a short climb we were soon on Ironstone plateau. To walkers who are not familiar with the area I recommend they adhere strictly to Sirius waypoints and do not wander about. The cache was soon located and signed making this the 3rd FTF for the day. Views from the top are impressive but ours was interrupted at times by low cloud and a short hail storm. Then it was off the mountain and down the track to the car making the round trip in 5 3/4 hours. Thanks for this series Sirius and I am looking forward to more. Walks like this are much appreciated. 2008-12-05T00:00:00Z sirius Tas Other Enjoy! 2008-12-02T00:00:00.000Z GA1305 Blue Champagne Geocaching Australia http://geocaching.com.au/cache/ga1305 Blue Champagne Geocache Geocache Blue Champagne hookline Coles Bay Tasmania Australia Traditional Small 1 3.5

One for those who enjoy beaches, as you will walk along four of them if you do the circuit of the peninsula and go for this cache as well (Hazard beach, Cook's beach, Bryan's beach and Wineglass). Be prepared with appropriate camping and hiking gear as you won't be able to get to this cache and back in one day. The only good source of water is at Cook's Hut, the streams were dry or undrinkable when we did the circuit, so bring plenty of water. The walk to Bryan's beach is one hour from Cook's Hut (we did it in 45 mins walking quickly). Add to that another half hour to walk along the beach itself (a 3 hr return trip in total). The cache shouldn't take long to find with the hint. Cache container is small with only a logbook and pencil, but feel free to add some small swaps if you like. Remember that Freycinet is a National Park, so you will need a parks pass. Enjoy the walk, as it is magnificent!   Base of tree. Look for the bird guardian. 2009-06-07T00:00:00Z Neribil Found Arrived at Cooks beach camp site after lunch and set up camp. the rain set in so in bed by 6pm. Fine the next day so it was a pleasant walk through the bush and along the beach to the Bryans Beach camp site and then to locate the cache without undue problems. Back to Cooks beach for the night. Walked out the next day in fine weather. A long walk and big effort to bag this one but these are well worth the effort. TNLN Thanks hookline. 2009-02-17T00:00:00Z If Found This is a perfect cache to get by boat !! A nice cruise across the tranquil waters to within a few metres of the beach. Cold drinks and a BBQ on board to celebrate a cache find in superb surroundings. Those were my thoughts after having lugged the backpack full of camping gear, by foot to Cooks Hut. Set up camp and was now half way along Bryan's beach trudging the last 800 odd metres to GZ. It was getting close to 5:00pm and the feet were starting to complain. That last 800 metres seemed to take ages to cover. But finally I made it to the end of the beach and after a quick scramble up the shore found the cache in the obvious place :) I took a moment to sit down and take in the surroundings and fill in the log book. The view is spectacular this far south along the peninsula. A half dozen fridge and BBQ equipped boats were anchored here in the bay. Now I only had the last 5.6kms to cover to get back to camp !! TFTC. 2009-02-05T00:00:00Z geoskid Note Crickey Sirius, I reckon your a Greyhound in Staffys clothing, fantastic time - and taking the long way! No wonder your feet were sore, - your soles were smmmokin'! Saw your report on BWT - will consider that on similar future walks. Sure was a great walk! Cheers, Geoskid P.S Hookline - If this cache ever needs a maintenance visit and you cant make it, Please give me a Hoy, I'd love the excuse for a return visit with my son- (or wife or both). 2009-02-03T00:00:00Z hookline Note Wow, Sirius that was some trek!! Congrats on finally getting there!! 2009-01-31T00:00:00Z sirius Tas Found Left the logbook sign in at 0645 and a quick jaunt soon had me at Wineglass Bay for the latest cache....then it was all stops out to get to Bryans Beach.All was going well taking just on 2.5 hrs to Nth end of Cookes Beach. Taking notice of a yacht moored towards the end of the beach then running into and talking to the family concerned I must have passed the Cookes hut turn off....so kept walking around the beach thinking the track may turn up close by...but of course it didn't. First mistake...no map with me...2nd mistake...I wasn't equipped for off track walking as only in shorts with no gaiters...so should of back tracked. After negotiating headland after headland I was starting to wonder if I'd ever get there as the distance remaining stayed constantly high and actually increased at times. Also water was starting to be a worry even though I'd taken 2 ltrs...but not enough given the weather and my off track antics. Needless to say this stretch of coastline is quite speccy with constant views over to Schouten Island with its quite prominent mountains. Arrived at Bryans some 4 hrs later from Nth Cookes beach ...quite the worse for wear. The bay at Bryans was indeed like one gigantic glass of 'Blue Heaven' cocktail with the prominent Schouten Isle ever so present.This certainly is a fantastic location in such a pristine environment and most definitely well worth the walk in. It was great to be actually back on a beach...so soon had the cache in hand. The log has been signed and a note from a muggle entry who'd stopped by from a cruising yacht. I reckon this is one cache that may get more muggle entries than cachers...as the hide is quite prominent. Hopefully they will all be kind and replace as found...and I'm sure that most will. Before heading off I took the chance for a cooling paddle...while it was quite cold it was ever so refreshing and boy...did the feet need it. After a bit of resting I finally left Bryans at 1425 on quite a slow return journey. Thankfully there was still some remaining water in the tanks at Cookes Hut...but down to the last rung...so future cachers take note....you will need to carry all water if coming in over the summer months...3 ltrs min. The old feet were getting quite a tad sore by now finally signing off at 1930 almost 13 hrs after starting....quite an epic to say the least and one I wouldn't like to repeat...I'll stick to the tracks next time. Most cachers should make the return in around 9 hrs...so certainly doable in a days walk. Huge thank you Hookline for getting me here as I'm sure I'd of never done so other than for caching...even though I went via the unorthodox way...lol....Cheers. 2009-01-11T00:00:00Z geoskid Found This cache finishes off the Circuit walk perfectly. I'm not sure if I would have gone to Bryans Beach if this cache had not been there, but it was, so I did (of course), and so glad I did as its luvly. Left cooks camp at 5.50am and had the beach to myself, with a yacht and a fishing boat anchored quite some way out in the Bay. The cache was found in it's well presented hidey hole after a short search. It was now 7am on a crisp sunny day, and the solitude and serenity overtook me, so I 'Nuded up For a Smilie'- as you do! Thanks Hookline - fantastic cache! 2008-12-22T00:00:00Z hookline Note An incredible effort indeed, March Brown. Well done! 2008-12-21T00:00:00Z Dippedidooda Note I am impressed March Brown - walking 42km in a day (and up two mountains en route): seems an incredible feat to me. Wow. 2008-12-20T00:00:00Z March Brown Found Walked out here via Mt Graham and Frecinet peak so this one is a bit out of the way and adds a few kms to the total trip. What made me determined was that I have done just this walk several times before. Well it is a lovely hide and easy to find,stunning beach and today the weather was perfect for the views.The walk was 42kms long according to the gps. FTF to me.

The Arm River track is the shortest route into Pelion Hut, which is located about halfway along the Overland Track. A whole range of circuit and through walks can be configured using the Arm River, Lees Paddocks, Walls of Jerusalem and Overland Tracks, stopping at Pelion Hut along the way. Pelion Hut is a large modern hut that sleeps 60 inside, has a wide verandah right around which is great to sleep on, tent platforms, toilet and rain water tanks. Mt Oakleigh, Pelion East, Pelion West , and Mt. Ossa are all able to be climbed as day walks from Pelion Hut. Old Pelion Hut , which was built in 1895 in conjunction with copper mining activities in the area, is now the oldest hut in the Park. The hut is designated as Emergency Shelter only now, but is well worth a visit as is the surrounding mine diggings. Map Reference: TASMAP 1:25,000 Rowallan and Cathedral cover the whole of the Arm River Track. Refer to Cradle Mountain Lake St Clair and Walls of Jerusalem National Parks by Chapman, Chapman and Siseman, for detailed track notes for the Arm River track and other access routes, planning and safety. Walking time from carpark on Arm Road to Pelion Hut is approx. 4-5hrs. To log this cache, (compulsory), enter the very large cache container (which is about the size of a hut that sleeps 60) and log your visit in the logbook ( which has kindly been provided by PWS) using your CACHER NAME, photograph your entry and add the photo to the gallery of this cache. Easy - once you get there! Also, (Optional, but would be very nice of you), while you have your camera out, a photo or 2 or 3 of your visit to the hut. It can be a photo of the view from the verandah of Oakleigh, Barn Bluff or Cradle. It can be a photo of the wildlife, human or otherwise. In fact , it can be a photo of anything to do with your visit to the Hut that you want to show me, and I'm sure other cachers will be equally interested.           Please make sure you have appropriate gear for the walk 2009-05-16T00:00:00Z mrgumby Found Took refuge in the cache container for two nights and conquered Mt Oakliegh as part of our Overland campaign 2009-02-23T00:00:00Z Blondybear Found We arrived on a beatiful warm sunny afternoon and pitched the tents on the platforms. We knew there was a change on the way....and what a spectacular and rapid change it was. The clouds slowly twisted there way around Mt Oakleigh and the sky darkened.....Whoosh....the storm hit, bringing strong winds hail and lightning. Recorded in the PWS log as Mitchell Four. 2009-01-12T00:00:00Z Mind Socket Note We camped on the tent platforms for our 5th night out on the Overland Track, and after taking in Mt Oakleigh (from the top) I plum forgot to log this one properly! :p 2009-01-03T00:00:00Z Dippedidooda Found Just first to log; and I liked that this one was a virtual cache. A very warm and comfy end-point for our walk on the Arm River Track, even if we weren't staying. (And a very flash toilet set-up too). It was funny that the track seemed to pass through the hut. I was amazed by the number of out-there walks that seemed to emanate from here. And I found it surprising the number of people that we met on the track - this multi-day bushwalking mullarkey is really popular!!! It was a fantastic walk - thanks for a terrific series geoskid and the company Sirius. It was great. 2009-01-03T00:00:00Z sirius Tas Found Finally..after reading so much about the Arm Track and Pelion Hut...this cache brought us to its end point...and what a site.I should also add that your walk times are eminently more sensible than those stated in some walking books.The hut(cache) was actually larger than I imagined...well set out and very comfy. Mt Oakleigh was beckoning but sadly not enough time today...but rest assured...I'll be back. The sad part on signing the logbook was that this was the last cache in the series...a series thoroughly enjoyed...one of the best...and in company with 'Dippy' one of the most memorable days ever. Many thanks geoskid...loved the series..Cheers. 2008-12-11T00:00:00Z stagetree Found Nearly forgot to log this cache! :-/ Although we camped on the platforms I did pay the hut a visit to check it out and sign the logbook. I thought the hut was pretty speccy (until I saw Windy Ridge!). Can't beat the views from here and, after a hard days slog, it was a great place to rest your heels. The resident wildlife was superb. This was only one of two places that I saw a Quoll while I was on the Track. Living under the toilet of all places. Thankyou for building such a large cache in such a beatiful area Parks Tas. is all I can say. 2008-11-26T00:00:00Z dancesports Note Well I walked the overland track on a school trip in 1979, climbed Mt Pelion West and Mt Ossa, somewhere there are photos, the old fashioned kind. Might get to do it again someday but definetely need to work on my fitness first.

The Arm River track is the shortest route into Pelion Hut, which is located about halfway along the Overland track. Mt Oakleigh, Pelion East, Pelion West, and Mt Ossa are all able to be climbed as day walks from Pelion Hut. The Arm River track is a reasonably easy walk after an initial steep climb, is fairly sheltered, and takes in some spectacular scenery and views. Map Reference: TASMAP 1:25,000 Rowallan and Cathedral cover the whole track. Ref - Cradle Mountain Lake St Clair and Walls of Jerusalem National Parks by Chapman, Chapman and Siseman, for access, detailed track notes, planning and safety. The track junction to Mt Oakleigh is on the Arm River track on the Eastern side of a steel suspension bridge over Douglas Creek, 400m from Pelion Hut. The return walk from Pelion Hut to Mt Oakleigh is 9.6 km and takes approx. 4.5hrs. The cache is located on a high point at the Western end of the Plateau, near a rock cairn. From here there are magnificent views of most of the major peaks in the Park. The true summit is 700m north along the Plateau. Pelion Hut sleeps 60, and has a wide verandah all around, which is great for sleeping on. Walking time from carpark to Pelion Hut is approx. 4-5 hrs. Cache is a 200ml Sistema, with log book, pencil and stash note. Approx. 4m from rock cairn, in rock hidey hole covered by 2 fist sized roundish rocks. Access from below. 2009-01-04T00:00:00Z Mind Socket Note I hiked up Mt Oakleigh with a new friend in the afternoon, after doing the Windermere to Pelion section of the Overland Track. We got within 800m of the cache, but I was more than happy with the views and achievement of reaching the secondary peak, so we traipsed back on down as the sun started to set, instead of pressing on to this one. Yeah, I'm soft. :) 2008-11-24T00:00:00Z The Strebor Wanderers Found This mountain has some of the best views I have seen in Tassie, with mountains all around - Ossa, Pelion East and West, Cradle, Barn Bluff, Roland, Black Bluff, Cathedral Mountain and so on. Most of the peaks had a dusting of snow when I was there. It took us about 4.5 hours return from Pelion Hut, but it would have been nice to have more time to take in the views. We walked in to Pelion Hut one day, then went up Oakleigh early the next morning and walked out the same day. Geoskid's Arm River Track series is fantastic, however you need to be prepared for blizzards. My group had snow on the way in, and it was bitterly cold. I don't reckon you would last long on top of Mt Oakleigh if you were caught out in bad weather, and it can change very quickly. If you are prepared though, this would have to be one of the best sited caches around.

Walking time from carpark to Lake Price is approx. 1- 1.5hrs, depending on how many breathers you have. Total walking time to Pelion Hut is approx. 4- 5hrs. Once you reach the Lake, take the minor track that skirts the Northern shoreline of the Lake, and rejoins the main track on the Eastern side of of a small bridge that crosses a creek that flows into the Lake from the North. There is a magnificent view from GZ across Lake Price with Mt. Pillinger as the backdrop. No need for bushbashing, cache is accessed from the minor track skirting the Lake.

This being the first cache along the track nestled beside the the very picturesque Lake Price with the awesome peak of Mt Pillinger as a quite speccy backdrop. Found cache easily in the most likely spot. An awesome place and a great start to the day in what was going to be one of the most memorable caching days ever. Many thanks geoskid...just love these type of caches...TFTEC...Cheers 2009-01-03T00:00:00Z Dippedidooda Found Had a fantastic 10 hr walk today with Sirius along the Arm River Track. I was really pleased to have come along, as I'm sure I never would have walked it otherwise and it was such a great day and they were all great caches. His skills as party leader were exceptional! This cache was wonderful - I loved the location and I think the photo shows it! Enjoyed seeing the tail end of the waratahs, amongst many other wildflowers. Sirius in true-to-form speedy style was first on to this find - but it seemed all nice and dry to me when he passed it to me for logging. Thanks so much geoskid - I loved this one. 2008-11-23T00:00:00Z The Strebor Wanderers Found What a happy coincidence that I was walking up the Arm River Track this weekend after a change of plans due to the weather. This is a beautiful little lake with Mt Pillinger behind it, well worth the (very steep) climb up to it. 2008-11-21T00:00:00Z geoskid Other Happy Walking 2008-11-20T00:00:00.000Z GA1283 Arm River Track series - Lake Ayr Geocaching Australia http://geocaching.com.au/cache/ga1283 Arm River Track series - Lake Ayr Geocache Geocache Arm River Track series - Lake Ayr geoskid Lemonthyme Tasmania Australia Traditional Small 1 3.5

The Arm River track is the shortest route into Pelion Hut, which is located about halfway along the Overland Track. Mt Oakleigh, Pelion East, Pelion West, and Mt Ossa are all able to be climbed as day walks fron Pelion Hut. The Arm River track is a reasonably easy walk after an initial steep climb, is fairly sheltered, and takes in some spectacular scenery and views. Map Reference: TASMAP 1:25,000 Rowallan and Cathedral cover the whole track. Ref - Cradle Mountain Lake St Clair and Walls of Jerusalem National Parks by Chapman, Chapman and Siseman, for access, detailed track notes, planning and safety. Cache is located at Junction of Arm River Track and Lees Paddocks Track, where the PWS walkers registration box is. GZ has one of the best views on the track, overlooking lake Ayr with Mt Oakleigh as the backdrop. Walking time from carpark to GZ is approx. 3-4hrs, depending on how many breathers you have along the way. Pelion Hut is approx. 1 hrs walk further on from here.  Cache is a black 200ml Sistema with Log book, pencil and stash note. On the edge of the track, so no need for bush bashing. In crack of huge rock, covered by small rock 2009-01-03T00:00:00Z Dippedidooda Found I also thought this cache was really nicely placed to break up the walk in. It gave a nice achieveable distance to walk to from Lake Price. Cache was nicely placed and dry and pristine. I continued to enjoy the scenery and flowers. Thanks geoskid. 2009-01-03T00:00:00Z sirius Tas Found Another great spot beside Lake Eyr and an opportunity to take a break. Cache found easily in the obvious spot(to cachers only of course)...thoroughly enjoying this series....so many thanks geoskid for another top cache location...TFTEC...Cheers. 2008-11-23T00:00:00Z The Strebor Wanderers Found My second FTF for the day, this cache is also in a beautiful spot on the Arm River Track. Thanks Geoskid, for putting caches in to add to my bushwalking. 2008-11-21T00:00:00Z geoskid Other Happy Walking 2008-11-03T00:00:00.000Z GA1263 Cricket anyone??

This cache will take you to a very non descript area for some.....but certainly not for me. The area below the cache...where you've no doubt parked...was actually a bustling forestry campsite(South Arthur Camp). In it's heyday it would of housed around 26 workers when full. It was also where I was taken to start work as a 17 yr old...as a Survey Assistant almost 38 years ago. While it may seem inhospitable now...for me it was a childhood dream...getting to explore the surrounding bush land...locating Forest roads...and going to places no other person had ever been. Needless to say....many a great fishing and lobster spots were found. The comradeship among us all was pretty special. The camp itself was quite modern with a Cat diesel generator running 24/7...the kitchen and mess hall second to none...as was the food. I guess the winter months were the worst....as it has a  180-200 cm rainfall.....so a copious amount of card playing was usually the go...along with the same amount of tinnies of course. So we looked forward to the summer days where more often than not,  after tea heading up the bank to where the cache is to practice our cricket skills. This slab of concrete is basically the only tangible evidence of what existed here. So for me...the first four years of my working life and lots of fantastic memories. Rather ironic that geocaching has now brought me back. The cache is a black 200ml sistema with logbook and pencil only. Enjoy! Base of burnt out Euc. 2009-08-15T00:00:00Z Yin n Yan Found Caches like these are much more interesting when attached to some history. TFTC 2009-08-15T00:00:00Z shazcol Found I love the places caching takes you. It's the main reason we do it.Found with half of Yin and Yan. We looked around for a while looking for some kind of evidence of what used to be here but it's amazing how fast the bush reclaims. Pity about the bridge being out cant quite understand why it hasn't been fixed after 2 years? TNLN 2009-06-06T00:00:00Z TeamSwampy Found 2nd find of the day at 12:45. really enjoyed the rally driving from the previous cache to this one. Found the cache easily and also the leech! Cache in excellent condition. Thanks for showing me the old camp. 2008-12-05T00:00:00Z deegees Found I was prepared before I went and looked for this cache. Plotted the location on the map and all. Took the map with me. If I had not, I would not have found it. Lovely drive through the rain, with my GPSr on arrival giving an accuracy of 25metres, due to cloud, rain, and vegetation. A good look quickly found the Cricket Pitch, and onto the cache. A nice easy find. Why has it taken so long for a FTF? TNLNSL Thanks for the cache. The drive alone was worth it. 2008-11-04T00:00:00Z sirius Tas Other Many memories. 2008-11-02T00:00:00.000Z GA1261 Do the Milkshake Geocaching Australia http://geocaching.com.au/cache/ga1261 Do the Milkshake Geocache Geocache Do the Milkshake greenegrass Trowutta Tasmania Australia Traditional Regular 2 3

Alas, there are no milkbars or cows around, but this place called Milkshakes can be found. Taking the drive via the Kununnah Bridge is the way to go, because at the moment, the Tayatea Bridge is down, till who knows? The Reserve is a tranquil, ferny place, a great spot for dinner; then trek up to the lookout and see who is the winner. Watch the vegetation change as you climb, from rainforest below to a buttongrass top. Half an hour uphill and you will find the lookout where you are to stop. The caching container is of regular size, with room for some swaps, and green for disguise. Past the top, beneath a gum tree, under rocks. 2009-08-15T00:00:00Z Yin n Yan Found Found with Shazcol. Tha change in vegetation makes it an interesting walk. TFTC 2009-08-15T00:00:00Z shazcol Found Always wanted to check this area out so finding a cache was a good excuse. Great walk we were amazed at the varying landscape as we went up. Found with half of Yin and Yan. No swaps today.Nearly forgot but this was our 150th find which we are quite proud of. 2009-06-06T00:00:00Z TeamSwampy Found 1st find of the day at 11:52. Decided that I needed to get out of the place where we slept as little boys starting to annoy. So much for doing the local caches around Wynyard! Looked at the map and looked at the sky - bugger it! Milkshakes, here I come! Lovely views even though there was nearly 100% cloud cover. Thanks for showing me the area - may come back and stay the night! 2008-12-05T00:00:00Z deegees Found Third (and final) of the afternoon. Pity the Tayatea Bridge is still out, as increased the round trip by about 40K. Lovely climb up the hill in drizzle. Unable to see much due to low cloud/fog. Nice quick easy find. TNLNSL TFTC 2008-11-03T00:00:00Z sirius Tas Found Your cache timing did't fit with Craigrat...but sure as hell did with me...as I was sitting on 99 FTF's after Romaine Attraction...so decided to go for a longish drive. This cache find was #100 FTF's...and very fitting as I spent the first 7 years of my working life all around here.Was great to stand on top of the Milkshakes Hill and look around over all the bush land that I've walked 100's of kms over locating roads as an Assistant Surveyor for FT. They were no doubt some of the best years of my life...so many thanks greenegrass for all the memories...also decided to place a cache further down the road. Shame the Trowutta bridge is out...this being the 2nd time. I was there for the 1st...and actually drove across just before it went....I don't think I'd do that again. TNLN...Cheers. 2008-11-03T00:00:00Z 3daygrowth Note Well done on 100 FTF bro 2008-11-02T00:00:00Z greenegrass Other 2008-11-02T00:00:00Z CraigRat Note Doh, Team CraigRat were at Milkshakes Reserve at Midday on the 2nd!

The new (and controversial) Meander Dam/Huntsman's Lake. Tipped to be a great fishing, boating, water activities spot; picnic facilities still seem to be under construction but there's a huge carpark, boat ramp and working toilets. Boom gate for vehicle access 2.3km from the lake, open from 6am to 7pm. Cache should be easy to find, but watch for muggles.   2009-08-22T00:00:00Z flange_1&tribe Found 497......Nice easy find on our trying to get 500 day Rain rain go away what a day Very nice place for a look and grab a cache at the same time There were a few muggles about but they were un-loading boats The water is thundering over the top of the dam (very loud) Mini cacher didn't go much on the noise .....lol thnx 2009-07-04T00:00:00Z shazcol Found See the attached image as it may be the first time the dam has spilled? Was fantastic on arrival. Lake was calm, water going over the dam was roaring and the temperature was Ok. After 10 minutes the lake was whitecaps, wind was howling and we where leaving. 2009-02-15T00:00:00Z CraigRat Found Came to have a squiz at the Dam with Horus, as last time we were here was at the open day before the 1st pour of concrete. It's certainly changed now! found cache after a short search and signed the log. Had to outsit some muggles to stash it back where we found it, but its all good!

Thanks Hookline 2008-12-11T00:00:00Z red tag Found My last cache before heading back to Hobart. The loose gravel on the new road brought out the rally car driver in me (I will grow up one day!) and I had the cache found and logged in not time. I prefer rivers and streams when fishing but I couldn't not have a go on this new lake when I was right here. Glad I did as I managed to land a nice one (maybe don't look at the pic if you like seeing live fish) Thanks for the cache Hookline. Took fish left guts 2008-11-18T00:00:00Z sirius Tas Found Spent quite a bit of time working out this way in past years and had visited the dam site before construction. It's very pleasing to see how well the actual lake now looks...with a very picturesque backdrop of mountains...some with caches. This lake will no doubt appeal to all the fisher muggles...hopefully I'll be one of them. The cache was easy to hand. Lovely spot here...hope to return with a rod. Many thanks hookline...TNLN...Cheers. 2008-11-05T00:00:00Z madchilli Found A quick detour on my way home from work (thats my story and Im stickin to it)had me at this new water hole that is definately worth a look.

A good walk in Narawntapu National Park.

The cache is located a short way up Windfred Creek, which runs into Copper Cove, bounded by Little Badger Head and Badger Head. Windfred creek has a series of lovely rock pools and small waterfalls where water is often available to fill your waterbottle. Copper cove itself is a very interesting place to explore, with bright orange rocks, lovely 'rock gardens', and an abundance of interesting driftwood. A walk to the North-East end of Copper Cove is well worth a look, with evidence of the Copper mining that occured here on a small scale. The walk from the Ranger Station takes you past the track up to Archers Knob and the cache ' Archers Grassy Rest' GC1E4R4, along part of the 7Km long Bakers Beach, up and over Little Badger Head, down into the secluded Copper Cove. Roughly allow 3 hrs return if just going to cache and back, additional 1hr for sidetrip to Archers Knob, additional 1hr if returning to Bakers Beach from Copper Cove via shoreline of Little Badger Head, and additional 30mins if walking the majority of Bakers Beach back to carpark. Additional time should be added if exploring Copper Cove. Cache is a Black 1Lt Sistema, and at time of placing contained Log book and pencil, anti-mosquito bracelet, pocket can openers, waterproof matches, waterproof Flyfishing booklet, 2*AA Bateries, 3*Bushwalkers whistles, Note pad. Rock hidey hole on bank covered by a rounded, different colored rock that looks out of place. Best viewed from in the creek. 2009-02-10T00:00:00Z If Found After camping out at Griffith's Point in the national park last night, I set off at sunrise from the Ranger Centre in pursuit of Copper Cove. It was difficult to follow the path for the first couple of kms as it was swarming with those little pademelons. Cute aren't they :) After a short detour to Archer's Knob along the way, I continued over the hills and past some magnificent coastal views untill the cove was in sight. A quick bounce along the creek and the cache was found hiding behind its rock. No ants anywhere :) The round trip with detours took 4 hours. I didn't see one wallaby on the return trip. They were no doubt hiding in the shade by now in the mid morning heat. TFTC and exercise. 2008-11-24T00:00:00Z sirius Tas Found Planned an assault on this one to blow out a few cobwebs....made it into the Cove in just on 1hr. Bit of rummaging to find the well hidden cache. Creek has just a small flow...so expect it will dry up as summer progresses...so need to carry water all the way. Another top spot Ive never been to. Excellent walk with superb coastal views. Many thanks for another gem geoskid....TNLN...Cheers. 2008-11-16T00:00:00Z shazcol Found Very nice walk. The creek had quite a bit of water flowing after recent rains and had to get wet feet to get up to the next level. The first obvious rock I moved released a very angry nest of ants that raced out in all directions so watch out! Found the cache OK and realised that the 'shaz' of 'shazcol' had all the swaps back at the beach because she did not want to get wet feet. I took some photo's and walked back. Top cache but expect a decent walk. We did Archers Knob cache on the way in. 2008-11-07T00:00:00Z geoskid Note Congratulations on FTF Neribil, glad you enjoyed the walk. 2008-11-06T00:00:00Z Neribil Found After a pleasant walk through the park I arrived at GZ. Been past this spot numerous times but never took the time to explore before. Co-ords were spot on and the clue most helpful. Time return to vehicle including lunch stops and Archers Grassy Rest on the way was 4 hours at a reasonable pace. Well worth the effort. Took flyfishing booklet and left a beetle.

As this cache belongs to a series...PLEASE NOTE conditions at cache....   <a href="../../../cache/ga1150">geocaching.com.au/cache/ga1150</a> The fourth cache in the Devils Gauntlet series...don't forget to take a code printout or write down the # under the lid....as it's a long way to walk back. The cache can be accessed in three ways...but I'll only describe the shortest and best access...as walked at time of placing. Proceed towards the Winterbrook Falls car park as sign posted from Nietta travelling south. At the road junction 500m from car park...take the right turn and travel to the end where it meets Winter Brook at S41 26.133 E145 59.200 The last section of road is a little rough...but taking it slowly you should be ok in 2wd. Follow the pink tape leading across the creek and along the road for 3-400m.....turning left at the Winterbrook sign along Maxwells track. The track is easy going with a steady climb until reaching Winter Brook and another junction at  S41 27.282 E145 58.341 The left fork will take you to Winterbrook Falls lookout.....and cache 'A Load of old Bullocks'....which you may wish to visit on return. Take the right fork which will lead to the next junction at S41 27.318 E145 58.112  which is the start of the 'Eye of the needle track' and track leading to cache 'Paddys Revenge' and 'Black Beauty'. The left fork wil take you to the base of Winterbrook Falls. Refill water bottles before leaving here as the only water available until return is at Paddys Lake. The track climbs steeply to the plateau edge...well marked...taking you underneath and through the rocky outcrops. The cache...'Paddys Revenge'....just a short stroll....where you can catch your breath...take in the views before the last leg onto Black Bluff. The track climbs steeply at first...then a more gradual grade...which will take you underneath and past the trig station...turning up through a rock channel(marked with pink tape)....gaining access to the plateau. The cache is east of the trig. On a good day the views are simply stunning...with an amazing number of mountains visible.....total 360 degree view. The cache is a black 1.2lt sistema with logbook, pencil, swaps and 3 Tassie Devil badges for first 3 to find...no swap required. The return time should be around 5-6 hrs....extra if visiting Winterbrook lookout on return. Enjoy!   Underneath slab of rock. 2009-05-09T00:00:00Z Dippedidooda Found What a fabulous day. I really enjoyed the walk, the company and the conquering of the challenge! We went at a very comfortable pace so there was a real sense of "enjoying the journey" - and a great achievement too. The amazing thing above the level of the plateau was the wind. For a time, I felt more cold than I've felt on any walk in Tasmania. I've never needed all emergency clothing items in my pack on at the same time before!!! I think that sort of weather at the summit might not be too unusual though, judging by the writing in the logbook. We seemed unable to work our fingers properly to write, and a few of the logs look like they're written by pre-schoolers! Of course the cold and wind were most extreme at the top and we were really lucky to have it clear everywhere else but at the summit. I've really enjoyed getting up here (twice) and I sincerely thank Sirius for putting out the challenge which had us determined to reach this summit. And red tag, don't worry, I'll go back again if you like, it's such a great walk. Biggest accolades go to 7 y.o. Carrolleyrette though, her cheerful and chattering manner for the entire 8 hour walk was highly impressive!!! 2009-05-09T00:00:00Z CarrollEyre Found Ask a 7 year old girl who has walked for more than 3 hours up a 1300m high mountain, and was being buffeted by a howling gale if she was having a fun time and LilEyre will enthusiastically bob/nod her head and scream "This is the best fun". We had a great time finding this cache Sirius for lots of reasons, some being the fabulous company Dippy (well done for the big 800), ForthFeralz (thanks for taking it easy) and the Brizzyb3llas and their wonder pup Tilly. Other reasons for making this trek a great day were: the beautiful weather even though the peak was a bit breezy (Lil did take off a couple of times) and it was a tad chilly, the walk up with the range of vegetation and spectacular scenery and the awesome examples of fungi growing all over the forest floor. In many ways the journey was better than the destination as the cloud cover obscured the views and the bitter howling winds made a longer visit uncomfortable and there was no possibility of reading a map without the paper turning into a maddened origami disaster. We didn't write much in the log book because our hands were just too cold. The view was fabulous a mere 100m lower than the peak and from even lower down the mountain you could appreciate just how fast the wind was whisking the clouds over the top. We will be climbing this hill another time as Boy Eyre missed out because he was sick and he and his caring mother are both quite disappointed about missing the adventure. Thanks Sirius for fabulous cache, I am looking forward to doing the rest of them in the "Gauntlet" 2009-05-09T00:00:00Z forthferalz Found Congratulations Dippy on 800 caches! This was a beauty indeed - a Sirius hike I have looked forward to for a while which did not dissapoint; even though the weather was not perfect the excitement was intense. My first real test since slipping a disc. Thanks a million to Dippy, the Brizzybella's and their superdog, and the Carrolleyres for the encouragement and cheerful company in the katabatic wind strong enough to blow me over 6 times and lift Lily the legend clean off her feet. I hope Dippy can share her 'summit slice' recipe in her log! We took the maxwell track in as suggested and it is heaps drier and easier overall than the Tramway track. Note for future seekers there is a great bunkhole on the summit if you want to try lugging the billy up there but otherwise there's not a bad little clearing just past the 'eye' to cache your gear in. 2009-01-12T00:00:00Z hookline Found Finally got around to doing this cache, with still vivid memories of how it so inconveniently popped up less than a week after we'd already clambered all the way up here with Forthferalz. Hmmm. In any case, this time me and Indy (minus FF, unfortunately) went in via Maxwell's track, which indeed seemed to be somewhat shorter/quicker than the Tramway trail (unless you're going to Winterbrook, which we bypassed as already got that cache previously). Plodded up the steep bit (again), through the cool Eye of the Needle, bypassed Paddy's (already got it), all eyes on Black Bluff. The weather up here was a lot better this time, with warm sun, blue sky, blue lake, wildflowers everywhere and much less wind. The climb up the bluff was very pleasant. Spectacular views from the top, even better than the ones from Paddy's Lake. Seems like you can see every mountain in NW Tassie from here!! Cache found quickly. Took an awesome little zombie car (swapped for a cute dino). Climbed back down leisurely to explore the lake a bit more closely. Relaxed there for quite a while before heading back down to find a campsite. Thanks for another great cache, Sirius! 2008-12-22T00:00:00Z March Brown Found I think this one is the best so far. The views are staggering and it seems like you can see quite a bit of North Tassie from here. The walk up took 2hrs from the car to the summit but I slowed down comming back and did the little circuit past the falls lookout and back to the track, there was not much more than a dribble comming over the falls. The summit was obscured by cloud as I drove out but by the time I got up there it had lifted giving the 360 degree views. Thanks again Sirius 2008-12-08T00:00:00Z Team Tiges Found Found with the SW and Geoskid on a trip organised in the Bushwalk Tasmania forums. Was a great day despite the fierce wind that nearly blew us all off the mountain. TFTC. 2008-12-07T00:00:00Z The Strebor Wanderers Found Found today in the company of Geoskid, Team Tiges and a couple of other walkers. We went up via A Load of Old Bullocks, viewing Winterbrook Falls which had lots of water and was magnificent. We went on up past Paddy's Revenge, found with the wind and rain whipping past and on to the top of Black Bluff which had a wind chill factor of -10C and gusts of 80km/h. Due to the icy conditions and lack of a view, we didn't linger but hurried down the Brookes Track. It was an enjoyable walk but unfortunately I'll have to go back for a 3rd time to try to see the view south. Took lock, left car. TFTEC Sirius 2008-12-07T00:00:00Z geoskid Found On from Paddys Revenge. Gps was showing 680m to go, all up, where the mist was swirling. Got to top and there were patchy views to the North, but bitterly cold. Cache was found easily enough and in good order. Standing still resembled imitating drunk due to the wind. Officially 3rd to find and gave remaining Tassie devil badge to TT as SW and I already had one. Remembered to take a code printout. Glad to have finally got up here, but was appreciative of the company in the conditions. We came up the Tramwy Track and out the Brookes track with aid of car shuffle. Tramway track definitely the nicer walk with its rainforest. Falls were quite spectacular. Thanks for another Ball Tearer Sirius, Top cache. 2008-11-09T00:00:00Z 3daygrowth Found Neriil and I started out bright and early. Very overcast and raining lightly. Easy going at first, but after the first junction the grade picked up. Went past the second junction to the base of the falls where the grade picked up again...and again until I thought it couldnt get any steeper....but it did. Stopped off at Paddys revenge and couldnt see the tarn at all, so pressed on to the summit where the weather was foul - very exposed with the wind whipping across and no view at all. Found the cache and beat a hasty retreat. Luckily within a few mins the sun broke through and the mist started to lift, treating us to fantastic views along the coast. We turned at junction 2 and viewed the base of the falls, then carried on to find the "Bullocks" cache. Contined on the track along the creek and after 20 mins came out at junction 1 where we crossed the creek and got back onto the original track. Easy stroll back to the car, and the round trip took us 5hrs 5mins. Fantastic day trip - another one of Sirius's gems....highly recommended! 2008-11-09T00:00:00Z sirius Tas Note Great effort 3DG & Neribil...and a blistering time as well...Cheers. 2008-11-09T00:00:00Z Neribil Found A first to find in the company of 3daygrowth who's log tells it all. I have been to Black Bluff a number of times with the North West Walking Club but never to look for a plastic container that someone has deliberately hidden for us to find. Always a good walk and especially if you have a reason. I suggest you try for better conditions than we had so you can enjoy the views.

Nice easy walk along the Leven River

A tranquil, easy walk along a section of the Pengiun Cradle Trail beside the Leven River through State Forest/ Forest Reserve. As such you can take your dog for a walk with you. Most of this section is along a benched formation of an old tramway. I placed another cache 'Timberrr! (GA1256)  approx. 2km further along the track, to encourage you to walk most of this section of track. The section between the caches is some of the prettiest, passing Manferns and Swordferns. The track is shared with mountainbikers, motorbikes are not supposed to use this track, but they obviously do. Park at a locked yellow barrier at the end of Dial Rd. Walk around the barrier and continue up the road for 200m to the signposted continuation of the PCT on the left. The trail rises gently then descends steeply. Follow track to a crossing of Dial Crk, continue 200m to meet end of vehicle track, which is close to the junction of Dial Crk and Leven River. This is where the benched formation of the old tramway is picked up. Roughly allow 75-90mins return, plus additional 60-75mins return if going on to 'Timberrr!'. You could of course take some lunch  and spend half a day here. Cache is black 200ml Sistema with log book and stash note ( and pencil when I get back there, sorry, poor planning).

Got the cache and had some lunch and went for a much-needed dip in the river. Wasn't so pleasant when we eventually got back to the car and the thing was a furnace, so hot I burnt myself opening it... 2008-11-02T00:00:00Z Wandering Blister Found its been a long time since i've done this walk a nice easy find 2008-10-28T00:00:00Z sirius Tas Found Have been busting to get out for a decent geocache walk for awhile...this looked just the tonic to clean out those cobwebs. Not sure who was more excited...me or sirius(4paws). Wasn't sure what to expect...so packed some lunch and extras. Only took just under 0.5hr to reach the cache. Excellent track all the way with the old tram line in excellent condition. The amount of work that has gone into building this tramway is awesome. Magic spot....many thanks geoskid..BTW...left a pencil with the log. TFTEC....Cheers. Note to Redtag....awesome fishing spot. 2008-10-28T00:00:00Z forthferalz Found Stopped for an interesting chat with a certain serial finder after the mutts exchanged noises that sounded like "paws off my FTF!". The river was gorgeous :) Thanks for showing us! Good swimming spots if one isn't a fisher or the opportunity to bring a lilo and float back from GZ? 2008-10-28T00:00:00Z red tag Note Thanks Sirius! I had better get up there this weekend before 5commer3 or Michaelsmob land all the big ones.

Nice easy walk along the Leven River

A tranquil, easy walk along a section of the Penguin Cradle Trail beside the Leven River through State Forest/Forest Reserve. As such you can take your dog for a walk with you. Most of this section is along a benched formation of an old tramway. The walk will take you past 'Leven Bend' GA1255, tall white gums, Manferns and Swordfern 'gardens'. The track is open to mountainbikers. Motorbikes are not supposed to use this track but obviously do. Follow parking and access directions as per 'Leven Bend' if coming in from north. If coming in from the south, park at end of Purtons Rd. just before bridge crossing Hardstaff Crk. Walk across bridge and up road, come to a sign sending you right down along a fenceline to the Leven River. Cache is a black 200mml Sistema with log book and stash note (and pencil when I get back there, sorry, poor planning). In chainsawed hole. 2009-06-27T00:00:00Z deadolga Found Found on a walk from Penguin to Gunns Plains. Only glad that the chainsaw had done the work on the large tree and I didn't have to climb over it. 2009-01-30T00:00:00Z hookline Found Ugh, sooo hooot!! Thought it would be somewhat cooler and pleasant walking alongside the river in the shade of the ferns and trees, but it wasn't, the shadows being only slightly more bearable than the insanely blazing sun. Arrived at the Purton's road end, coming to a bewildering confluence of gravelly farm roads and Private Property signs and was totally lost for a moment before seeking directions from a local who'd been swimming in the river. She pointed us down one of the roads, which led to a locked gate and another Private Property sign. It all looked a bit dubious, but thankfully a nice lady from the farmhouse noticed us loitering around and opened the gate for us, letting us walk through her property. Cache found easily thanks to the excellent clue (thankfully, since we lost GPS reception). Then it was on to Leven Bend, all the while searching for a suitable place to get into the river... 2008-11-02T00:00:00Z Wandering Blister Found a nice easy walk along the river 2008-10-29T00:00:00Z geoskid Note Thanks very much for dropping pencils off Sirius, and congrats on FTF's. I thoroughly enjoyed the weekend walking thru to wings, the scenery is very varied, some great spots along the way. 2008-10-28T00:00:00Z sirius Tas Found Onward from cache..leven Bend. The old tramway sure makes for easy walking. Magic trail running beside the Leven River...fishermans paradise I expect....I must come back. Cache easy to hand...many thanks geoskid. Only 1hr to here...plenty of time left...as only 10:18...so a quick jaunt through to Hardstaff Ck. Great camping spot here...saw a 1kg trout near the bridge. Still plenty of time left and keen on doing some more of the PCT...so off up to Lorymer Lookout. Quite a climb up to here..checked my cache....and magic views once again...and just on 3 hrs to here. Did quite a bit of track cleaning both ways...superb day. Back tracked to end of Dial road...running into F/Feralz on the way in...had a great chinwag. This certainly was a fantastic caching experience...so many thanks again geoskid...awesome to say the least. BTW...left a pencil in this cache as well.

"Luina Ghost mining town on the isolated west coast. Located 131 km north of Queenstown, 89 km south of Burnie and 21 km east of Savage River, Luina was once a tiny tin mining town on the Whyte River which has twice come into existence as a result of the osmiridium, gold, silver-lead, copper and tin deposits in the area. Today it is nothing more than a few streets, some gutters and culverts and places where once there were houses. It can be located on the south side of the Whyte River."

Amazing place, it's hard to imagine a thriving Village was once on this spot.... Thanks for bringing me here! 2009-05-11T00:00:00Z FaltigBlack Found Came to have a BBQ at the old Luina site. Walked around the old town and marvelled at how nature takes over what we leave behind. Beautiful spot filled with lots of treasures. Found the Cache easily. Well done on this cache. 2009-04-17T00:00:00Z beetles2 Found easily found, amazing how quickly nature reclaims what once was a town 2009-04-17T00:00:00Z sandies Found Followed in beetles2 foot prints in the dew. 1st find. 2009-02-07T00:00:00Z polfil Found Found it at 13:30.

Thanks heaps, really worthwhile to see what nature can achieve when man moves out. 2008-12-04T00:00:00Z The Wackys Found Interesting place indeed - thanks for pointing it out to us 2008-10-23T00:00:00Z TeamSwampy Found 2008-10-23 01:04 #3 SSDS Gee, that road brings back memories. In my previous job BC, I used to drive here and do service work and collections at the local supermarket. Not long after that, the mine closed and people started moving out. I watched the town shrink down to one house over time. Found the cache easily, even in the dark. I love these drive bys! Thanks hookline for bringing me back here. Swampy 2008-10-22T00:00:00Z sirius Tas Found Cache found easily enough.Have stayed at Luina in its hay day...and it was quite a bustling town...certainly wouldn't think so now.

On a camping trip to the west coast we discovered this great cache location at the end of the Magnet Road rail trail. It was too fun not to leave a cache here. It can be accessed easily by 2WD on a wide gravel road. Ignore the sign that says 'No Road: Old Tramway Dangerous Due To Washouts'; the cache is located well before you get to 4WD territory. Those keen to explore can check out old Magnet town, though unfortunately there isn't much left there in the way of ruins, just some bits of rusting junk. There are plenty of nice camping spots, however. The 16km Magnet Road trail passes through lovely forests, but if you're walking it be warned that the track is extremely muddy and flooded, and may include the possibility of getting wet feet. Original contents of cache: logbook, pencil and some small swaps (fire truck, dice, whistle, chicken). NOTE: Please don't go dismantling/pulling any bits off the machine in your hunt for the cache. This is not necessary. This cache has been placed with permission of Forestry Tasmania.   2009-09-01T00:00:00Z CraigRat Other Hookline has contacted Forestry Tas and they have no objection to the placement of this cache. I have seen the email from F.T and am happy that it covers some of the concerns raised. Of course, seekers find this at their own risk, and please, respect the machine. 2009-08-11T00:00:00Z hookline Other 2009-08-10T00:00:00Z CraigRat Other Has the owner of this cache got permission to hide a cache in this machine? I would suggest that this is private property and could possibly get either the hider or a subsequent finder in to potential legal problems. (As a site admin, I would like to remind hiders that they assume all legal responsibility for their cache hides) If you do have permission, can you please email me via the forums and I'll remove this note. 2009-08-08T00:00:00Z CraigRat Not Found Had a good look, but obviously not THAT good a look. (Mind you, I didnt go above ground level as I'm not too sure if I am actually ALLOWED on the machine????) Perhaps a small hint would prevent ppl removing panels and the like (as someone has done, hopefully not a cacher!). Is there any back story to why this is here? 2009-05-05T00:00:00Z sirius Tas Not Found Not far from the Falls cache....another try...same result. 2009-02-07T00:00:00Z polfil Found A passing by Police asked us " What are you doing on the top of that machine?" After our explanation they let us go. TNLNSL. 2009-02-04T00:00:00Z hookline Note Maintenance visit. Cache is still exactly where I hid it and in excellent condition. However, I was horrified and dismayed to find that the star attraction had been defaced in giant white graffiti by some idiot calling themselves 'Vanessa'. Thanks for nothing. 2008-12-04T00:00:00Z Cached Not Found Fantastic cache, pity I couldn't find it. Might make the time to drop back down just to find it... Top effort. 2008-11-16T00:00:00Z March Brown Found Drove up the road in a heavy snow storm could hardly see the road. Arriving at GZ the likely hiding spot came into view. Cache was found within 5 minutes at 3:45am. Nice hide and a well worth coming all this way for cache. Second one tonight as we were trying to finish the "Well Rounded Cacher" game there was only 2 caches in Tasmania that we could use and with limited time available both of these had to be done tonight. 738 km to this point and now heading back home. Thanks for a top cache Hookline. 2008-11-16T00:00:00Z red tag Found During the week I was referred to as a Cachopath! hmmm.....possibly a fair call when you consider it was a an idea that just came into my head to do a 1,100km trip around Tassie tonight just for two caches. So I sent an email to March Brown asking him would he come with me and an almost instant reply saying 'OK' meant that only a few short hours later we were on our way North After driving through the heaviest falling of snow I have ever seen we arrived at GZ and began our search. March Brown nailed it within a few minutes and that meant that we had our 2 finds in the bag. Fantastic cache hookline !!! I would have definitely missed this great site if it wasn't for my Cachopathy 2008-10-26T00:00:00Z sirius Tas Note Looks like I better eat even more carrots...lol. 2008-10-24T00:00:00Z Dippedidooda Note ooohhh, can't wait to come back to this area!!!! Visited for the first time about a year ago with Dad, as he lived here as a toddler (nearly 80 years ago) when the town was busy and his father mining. There were quite substantial (burnt) remains of the big main mine building, as well as remains that you need to search to find - such as the foundations of the old school that Dad was able to direct us to. We found the area abounding with historical tidbits...in a short fossick I found glass bottles and a baby's leather laceup boot amongst lots of other bits and pieces. It would be an amazing place to camp - fantastic spots beside the creek. I have also seen a listing (Rail Trails of Tasmania)suggesting a Mountain Bike ride coming in from the Waratah end along the old tramway (starts behind the Waratah Tip 1.75km west of Waratah) to the Mine which is about 16km. Have also heard that there is mining interest in the area again - any truth in that??? Anyway, I can't wait to visit again, I just loved the area. What a shame the cache wasn't to be found though, Sirius - and well done Swampy. 2008-10-23T00:00:00Z TeamSwampy Found 2008-10-23 00:43 #2 SSDS Got word that sirius Tas tried to find this cache today - and had 2 goes at it. Ah well, now it was my turn to have a look. Arrived at GZ, not a cloud in the sky, full starry night. Started searching and thought maybe coords out so looked further afield. No - went back to original coords and started a more thorough search. Had a great time looking for this one and the cache was eventually found after about 15 minutes of searching. TNLN, thanks hookline. Swampy PS those carrots I ate at Haunting must have worked. *FTF* 2008-10-22T00:00:00Z sirius Tas Not Found Not too sure about Dressers last stand...but it was certainly mine.Looked for an hr or so...went to other cache..came back for 2nd attempt...still no glory. Far too many possible hides within 10m of co-ords...must have looked in most spots...but obviously not all....so quite a drive for one cache. Will have to wait until going past in the months ahead.Cheers 2008-10-20T00:00:00Z hookline Other Published. 2008-10-13T00:00:00.000Z GA1237 Main Drag Geocaching Australia http://geocaching.com.au/cache/ga1237 Main Drag Geocache Geocache Main Drag centurionTAS George Town Tasmania Australia Traditional Small 2.5 1.5

Muggles will be the challenge here...are ya up for it?

Small black plastic container holds note book and swaps. If you use your stealth skills you should be able to "Weed this one out" You might like to grab an coffe over the road first as cover! Make sure you tuck it back in nice and tight to ensure it's not "up-rooted" in the future. Walk through the designated walkway, next to the rock 2009-04-13T00:00:00Z Neribil Found A fairly exposed area for muggles but luck was on my side.

Not sure what to think about the building close to this cache! 2009-03-14T00:00:00Z Snuva Found A rather quick find. The coffee shop across the street has memories of a caching trip years ago! We were sitting in the cafe, with Snuva not so patiently waiting in the cacheMobile, when the screw fell out of Scott's glasses and they fell apart. Luckily we have, for no real reason at the time, swapped a jeweller's screwdriver out of Foghorn Leghorn the night before! Problem solved. Walking back from making this find though I was troubled: the building nearby was messing with my head. I like symmetry. The building bothered me! Thank you for the cache. 2009-03-13T00:00:00Z beetles2 Found didn't have much time but grabbed this one quickly 2009-02-13T00:00:00Z If Found Strangely enough I had no muggle problems here at lunchtime. Perhaps the fact that the only shady table has been uprooted was helping :) So I casually sat down on the wall and grabbed the cache unnoticed. This should be a nice area one day if they grow some grass and replant the table !! 2009-01-24T00:00:00Z March Brown Found Found it quite quickly, there was no one about seemed quiet for a Saturday night.

A good place to watch for passing ships...and Whales if you're lucky!

A short step out of the car to GZ. Watch out for fishermen muggles early and late. We watched a mother and baby humpback whale cruise past here November 2007. A great place to wet a line and catch a passing school of salmon too. Small plastic container jammed with the usual goodies!! AKA Windmill Point 2009-05-31T00:00:00Z beetles2 Found Lots of muggles so nearly gave this one a miss. Fortunately they stayed in their cars and we got away with a muggle free find. Watched the Queenscliff to Sorronto catamaran go past and another large freight container ship. Think the muggles were all there to watch them as well. 2009-04-13T00:00:00Z Neribil Found Arrived at gz to be followed by 3 car loads of muggles. One lot headed off for a picnic , one lot drove off and one lot stayed in the vehicle but out of sight so all was well. Log signed and off I went. TNLN Thanks 2009-04-13T00:00:00Z deadolga Found First day out. Found this gz with Neribil. 2009-03-14T00:00:00Z MullinitOvr Found Oh dear, more rain, never mind there is a cache to be found here somewhere, and find it we did, though Snuva and I were a tad wetter by the time it was replaced. But no muggles around to annoy us - who else but cachers would be out on a day like today! 2009-03-14T00:00:00Z Snuva Found As we pulled up to park near GZ, I noticed a muggle in a vehicle. Surely they wouldn't stay and ruin our search?! No - they didn't. They were soon gone and MullinitOvr and I were out in the rain, happily searching for a cache. Lottie barked instructions from the MIO cacheMobile; it must have helped as the cache was found! Special mention should go to MullinitOvr's dedication; she could actually wring water from the sleeves of her jumper as we made our way back to the car! Thank you for the cache. 2009-03-01T00:00:00Z CraigRat Found This would have to be the FIRST time I've ever been here at midday and found it free of onlookers! CharlieRat found the cache with her ever-improving cache radar [:)] Had to out-sit some tourists before re-hiding the cache. Thanks! 2009-02-13T00:00:00Z If Found A tricky cache to grab at lunchtime. So I left to find another cache and a bakery :P Half an hour later the parking space I desired was vacant so I filled it with the geomobile. That should provide some cover. It just happened that a container ship had picked this moment to gracefully slide past in the channel. That was good as it distracted all the muggles who were still hanging around . I spotted the cache and ducked out of sight to fill out the log. My reappearance went completely unnoticed .

Now they're everywhere. Thanks to CT TNLN No whales dammit. 2008-12-27T00:00:00Z red tag Found Muggles everywhere but you can't blame them as its just such a magic spot. There were a few divers that seemed to attract most peoples attention so my circles around the monument appeared to go unnoticed. Another excellent cache centurionTAS, thanks to you my trip to George Town has resulted in a good number of finds which will hopefully keep me on the top of the dashboard for this year 2008-12-26T00:00:00Z Cheesy pigs Found Great spot for a cache! We have thoroughly enjoyed all CenturionTas's caches we have found! No whales this time, but we had to go away and come back a few times because of all the muggle traffic. Some muggles had found the cache a few days back, had taken nothing, but left a nice little swap! Isn't it great when that happens? [:D] Took ambulance, left mini torch. Thanks for a nice stop CenturionTas! 2008-12-16T00:00:00Z 5commer3 Found Another spot I haven't been to before although I have seen it from the other side of the river whilst fishing, Found cache easily, TNLN Thanks centurionTAS 2008-11-16T00:00:00Z 3daygrowth Found One of 6 of CTs I found today.

Exactly one year to the day!!! 2008-11-11T00:00:00Z michaels mob Found Knocked off work, headed into G Town to grab a coffee and then straight into a bit of caching before the drive home. Found all five 'newish' caches that have been placed in this area recently so was a good morning. This cache was third on the list, had to wait for a Muggle to leave the scene and then moved in for the find. Had six or seven likely spots to explore and of course it was the last one!! Monumental you say.....well this certainly was as I found this cache 204 years to the day from when this particular spot became 'Monumental' in our history. But now there is even a more 'Monumental reason to visit this spot.......a cache!!! TNLNSL thanks for yet another good cache.... 2008-10-17T00:00:00Z madchilli Found Finally got a clear run at this cache so it was nice to find this quickly, had to put it back with a muggle lunching nearby but no probs 2008-10-15T00:00:00Z GabMil Found Found this well hidden cache on a very windy and cold day.

A small cache containing all things cache like. Bring a fishing rod if you have an inland waterways licence or a child under 14.

A gravel road into this cache will place you on the banks of a popular trout (and atlantic salmon) fishery. Watch out for snakes, spiders, bullants....ah who am I kidding it's in the bush, of course there are going to be critters about. Adjacent to "Keith's Bay" R.I.P. 2009-08-09T00:00:00Z beetles2 Found Probably not a real good one to attempt this close to the opening of the fishing season. Few young anglers were giving us some strange looks. One was very helpful though in giving us some alternate directions to reach the area of the other cache at this lake. 2009-07-09T00:00:00Z red tag Found Last cache of the day The fishing season is still 23 sleeps away so I had to just be content to watch the fish jump. After finding a nicely hidden cache I packed away all my caching gear in the fading light, downed a few red bulls and set the GPS to 'Home' .... Time to Destination 3 hrs and 17 mins. Another awesome day exploring and enjoying beautiful North Tassie. Thanks for the cache centurionTAS 2009-04-12T00:00:00Z Almajesky Found 1st of 3 finds for the day during a nice Easter Sunday drive.

I jagged it on the first cast. TFTC. 2009-01-24T00:00:00Z March Brown Found Was well and truly dark when I arrived, all I could see is that the lake level looked as it might be low. Found the cache using the hint. Thanks centurionTAS 2009-01-18T00:00:00Z shazcol Found No problems. Nobody around, only a car on the other side of the lake. 2009-01-06T00:00:00Z 5commer3 Found Found this one easily while the muggle was fishing, Wish we had more time so I could have packed the fishing rod, TNLN Thanks centurionTAS 2009-01-01T00:00:00Z gixerk5 Found Another good cache nice and quick TN Left Simpson card TFTC 2008-11-16T00:00:00Z 3daygrowth Found Top day - top spot. Many thanks. 2008-11-08T00:00:00Z flange_1&tribe Found nice hide watch the ants ....lol ty 2008-10-20T00:00:00Z michaels mob Found After a game of golf with a few work mates nearby and a spot of maintenance on a couple of our caches, what better way to finish the day than grabbing a cache 'find' on the way home. Just a pity I never had a bit more time, and a fishing rod to wet a line in for an hour or so. Thanks centurion TAS, great hide in a great location....TNLNSL 2008-10-17T00:00:00Z madchilli Found After being a bit busy so far this month it was nice to get out and do some caching with my 4yo, he found this quickly then we took the dogs for a swim.....Took something and left something (forgot what) 2008-10-14T00:00:00Z sirius Tas Found Must say that I've never been here before....quite a big dam...certainly looks fishy...and curried fish is certainly one of my favourite dishes. You guys are blessed with all types of fishing and all on the doorstep.Good hide with co-ords spot on. Many thanks again centurionTAS....TNLN...Cheers. 2008-10-13T00:00:00Z centurionTAS Other published 2008-10-13T00:00:00Z GabMil Found Yay, my first FTF and in a nice secluded peaceful spot. Nice hidey hole and co-ords spot on. Took stickers and left Pen (pencil in it broke its lead whilst I was using it).

A short drive south of penguin, this Cache is not too far from walking tracks, leading to other caches in the area. A clear film container Just off the road covered by a few small rocks. As this is my first hide it shouldn't be too hard to find. I have driven past here many times but this was the first time i stopped. Please remember to bring a pen. 5m North of the info sign 2009-08-16T00:00:00Z deadolga Found Found this on way to climb the Dial Range Mountains 2009-07-18T00:00:00Z beetles2 Found First find for the day on our trip to the Dial Ranges. 2009-01-27T00:00:00Z hookline Found Found easily on our way up to Mt. Dial. A pleasant little hiding spot. Thanks. 2009-01-15T00:00:00Z Dippedidooda Found Was heading by to walk up Mt Dial, so grabbed this one on my way past. Thanks - makes the journey more fruitful in regards to the cache bounty!!! Cache was perfectly dry and pristine. Thanks Wandering Blister. 2009-01-04T00:00:00Z Boagsratz Found Nice easy drive-by and a good excuse to go for a drive. thanks TNLNSL 2008-11-15T00:00:00Z robtas Found nice easy find SLTN 2008-10-19T00:00:00Z geoskid Found We were on our way to climb Duncan, and stopped to find this one on the way. We pulled up and eldest son was out and had cache in hand before I could get my seatbelt off!- which was good because he was now pumped for Duncan with one in the bag, and asleep by the time we came back past after doing Duncan! Thanks Wandering Blister. 2008-10-10T00:00:00Z Wandering Blister Note Well done sirius tas for FTF being my first cache i wasn't sure if it would be a good spot. Thanks for the comments 2008-10-09T00:00:00Z Wandering Blister Other 2008-10-09T00:00:00Z sirius Tas Found 8pm:This one popped up and couldn't resist the urge. Having been to all caches within the Dial Range and placed a couple as well...it certainly is a much underrated walking area with great views...and as such it's always good to start off with an easier cache to get those geocaching juices flowing.Good one Wandering Blister...much appreciated.

Most people are familiar with Burnie Park, but fewer people (save locals) would have visited this large reserve accessible via View Road. In the past it has been the site of a refuse dump and a skate park, but now has been completely rehabilitated into a pleasant grassy area with many gum trees and wattle trees. The wattles are particularly nice when they are in flower. The main walking track is very popular with local muggles walking dogs, cyclists and students walking home from college/TAFE/uni. Cache is a small black film canister containing log sheet and pencil. 2009-09-01T00:00:00Z hookline Note Bag replaced, no probs. 2009-08-30T00:00:00Z Blind Betty Found What a wet day to go caching! The good side of that is there were very few muggles around. Log bag is still ripped but the contents are nice and dry. Thanks for the walk! (And thanks to the person that made the stepping 'stones' across the big puddle with some logs. Much appreciated!) 2009-08-23T00:00:00Z TassieAdventura Found Found Cache after a short search my gps was pointing me at another object but i out smarted it and used some common sense. The Bag ripped when i opened it as it was to tightly closed. I sealed it to the best of my ability and will return with a new bag after work tomorrow 2009-06-29T00:00:00Z deegees Found Parked and visited GC1TGRY, then saw that this was quite close. Pleasant walk along the path and easily found this cache in the only logical place. TNLNSL TFTC 2009-06-18T00:00:00Z hookline Note Cache is still there, and definitely not in the prickles! 2009-06-17T00:00:00Z Boagsratz Not Found Looked in Wattle trees, around wattle trees, in and around trees that were not Wattles, in the prickles, and not in prickles... Unfortunately, came up with Zero..However i had not been to this area before, so it was worth the look and the walk. cheers 2009-06-11T00:00:00Z hookline Note Thanks heaps, CarrollEyre! 2009-06-05T00:00:00Z CarrollEyre Found Just the sort of urban cache I like, that is situated somewhere pretty, worth visiting and sort of hidden away. The cache was found after a satisfying amount of searching in a sensible place. Unfortunately the contents were saturated and needed drying out, amazing what an industrial oven at TAFE will do. The log is a bit mouldy but is now dry and sealed in a small clip lock bag within the original container. Thanks Hookline. 2009-04-04T00:00:00Z beetles2 Found Started walking from beginning of track but decided it would take too long at this time of day so then proceeded to totally annoy the GPS by finding a side road closer to location. After bush bashing through the scrub behind the Polytechnic College we finally found it in the dark with no torch. Would have been more sensible to just keep walking in the first place. 2009-01-28T00:00:00Z Dippedidooda Found How interesting! It also seemed to be lying exposed about 50cm from base of the tree...which didn't seem right and there was a nice little indentation/hole in the crook of the tree branch, so I put it there! (Hope that's OK too). It seems like a secluded spot though. And it's a good place for a cache. Thanks hookline. I like the track. 2009-01-05T00:00:00Z Neribil Found Found the container laying exposed on the ground, signed log and moved it about half a metre to be a bit more secure at the base of a large blackwood tree. Hope this is ok Thanks 2008-12-30T00:00:00Z hookline Other Found the lost cache and put it back where it was. 2008-12-26T00:00:00Z hookline Other Cache seems to have gone missing. Will replace as soon as I can. 2008-12-11T00:00:00Z robtas Found Very pleasant walk on a beautiful day. good hide 2008-11-01T00:00:00Z March Brown Found Lots of ways to get to this cache. We took a fairly short route and found the cache easily. Thanks hookline 2008-11-01T00:00:00Z red tag Found lovely area for a relaxing stroll. The weather couldn't have been better to be out caching, Thanks hookline 2008-10-23T00:00:00Z TeamSwampy Found 2008-10-23 05:30 #13 SSDS Figured I'd checking most other places last time and the coords had been updated, I should find it this time. I did. Starting to get very cold now. Thanks hookline. Swampy 2008-10-22T00:00:00Z 3daygrowth Found Found along with my caching nephew from UK. I found it first - clue from cache name favours Aussies Took a while to get near to the cache in the car. Nice walk in....many thanks. 2008-10-07T00:00:00Z hookline Note Updated coordinates, should be easier to find now. Reception is quite bad under the trees, don't trust your GPS too much. Look around instead. 2008-10-07T00:00:00Z sirius Tas Found Saw this new cache...so thought I'd do the noble thing and give the southerners up this way a free go(yer right...as if)...but just not Swampy's weekend...when you're in a DEEP RUT..there's just no coming back from there...lol. Cache was quite easy to find...but well placed. I came in from the southern end and was quite surprised at all the walkways and bridges that criss cross the creek.Had just packed the cache away when caught red handed by the cache owners.Was great to meet up... with a long chinwag ensuing...also terrific to see new Geocachers with heaps of enthusiasm. Many thanks hookline for bringing me to a part of Burnie which I had no idea existed in this form..certainly a nice spot. Cheers 2008-10-06T00:00:00Z TeamSwampy Not Found All I found was lots of prickles and a fence and long grass and a few trees but no cache..... Gave up after about 20 minutes. 2008-10-05T00:00:00Z hookline Other First cache published. 2008-10-05T00:00:00.000Z GA1224 GO GO GO Geocaching Australia http://geocaching.com.au/cache/ga1224 GO GO GO Geocache Geocache GO GO GO ROBTAS Blythe Heads Tasmania Australia Traditional Small 1.5 1.5

A BLATANT DRIVE BY

Some people just cant be helped, they will just put caches where they can just because they can. I am no different and dont feel guilty at all. So there! base of the green one 2009-08-31T00:00:00Z Blind Betty Found Speedy find indeed! Just as well with the amount of cars flying past at breakneck speed. We grabbed, signed and replaced as fast as we could. Thanks for the cache. 2009-03-18T00:00:00Z If Found I only picked this one up because I had to walk past it (twice) to get from where I parked the geomobile to the other cache near the lighthouse. So there !! TFTC. 2009-03-13T00:00:00Z beetles2 Found have too agree with one other comment about being too easy 2009-02-23T00:00:00Z Dippedidooda Not Found This location isn't really conducive to a prolonged search with the cars wizzing by and the exposed position next to the highway. But look extensively I did with the thought of a crush injury in the back of my mind - with all those rocks placed as they are up the bank. For a blatant driveby in this sort of location I'd like a hint please!!! 2008-12-31T00:00:00Z Cached Found Drove right by, but stopped long enough to pick this one up! 2008-12-30T00:00:00Z The Wackys Found A nice easy find on our way back from camping at Crayfish Creek. Cheers! 2008-12-28T00:00:00Z FaltigBlack Found SL, Kids were my smoke screen. Nice one guy's 2008-11-14T00:00:00Z Neribil Found A true drive by, put on a safety vest and hard hat together with a folder so I looked like a worker and no one took any notice of me loging this one. 2008-11-01T00:00:00Z March Brown Found Yep just a drive by, but Thanks Robtas 2008-11-01T00:00:00Z red tag Found I somehow managed to step out of the car and fall straight into the ditch. Not a very ladylike thing to do but found the cache so that cheered me up. Thanks robtas 2008-10-23T00:00:00Z TeamSwampy Found 2008-10-23 08:37 #21 SSDS TRTC Spent too long looking for this one - should have looked in the third MOS. Thanks robtas Swampy 2008-10-22T00:00:00Z 3daygrowth Found WAs expecting the cops to arrive after a prolonged search. Got the goods in the end. 2008-10-19T00:00:00Z CarrollEyre Found Found in the company of the CEyrettes after their little run in the Burnie 321. DEyrette found the cache relatively quickly much to the consternation of his sisters. Having kids scramble around the GZ seems to be a reasonable alibi to all of the passing traffic. Cheers Robtas 2008-10-07T00:00:00Z Boagsratz Found Hmm, yea, its a drive by, alright, but felt very conspicuous looking for it in the middle of the day!!! Ans as my GPSr was down to about 6m, was wondering to look high or low.... Thanks, Robtas 2008-10-07T00:00:00Z sirius Tas Found Didn't take too long to find...was nearby replacing cache container at the lighthouse.TFTC robtas...Cheers. 2008-10-06T00:00:00Z robtas Note You can but you can't.This is not a moveable cache so please put it back. Quite happy where it was thanks . 2008-10-06T00:00:00Z Boagsratz Not Found Dropped in to find this today, and lo and behold, it was not there!!! Now it seems I know why!!! Robtas, you must have known that we had been looking at these structures being built heh, heh! ;+_ 2008-10-06T00:00:00Z hookline Note Sorry for taking your cache, we thought you wouldn't mind and we were just having fun. Took the cache because the location was disappointing and the only appealing thing about the cache was to find it first. Now it's found there really isn't much incentive left. Placed cache back in its original horrible position. Next time please write your name or mention geocaching somewhere, so that people in dire need of black canisters aren't tempted to nick it. Cheers, Hookline 2008-10-05T00:00:00Z robtas Other it is close to another but totally different aspects. 2008-10-05T00:00:00Z hookline Found Found your cache that you dropped by the side of the road, lazy bugger! Nicked the cache, to be relocated at a better place. Cause I can. 2008-10-01T00:00:00.000Z GA1221 Musical Medicos Geocaching Australia http://geocaching.com.au/cache/ga1221 Musical Medicos Geocache Geocache Musical Medicos deegees Somerset Tasmania Australia Traditional Regular 1 2

A nice quick one to do with GA0793 "Is ther a Doctor in the house?".  The same parking place suits both, but take care crossing the highway. The co-ordinates place you 3 metres from the cache.  Making them closer brings far too much error into the GPSr readings.  From the posted co-ordinates, proceed directly towards the cliff face and you should quickly locate the cache. It contains the usual valuable goodies, packed into a traditional Sistema container. Enjoy.   The cache has now been serviced by flange_1&tribe, to whom deegees gives his thanks. Look for a fissure in the cliff 2009-09-01T00:00:00Z Blind Betty Found This cache was quite fun to do. Trying to explain to the helpers that it was 'over there between a and b' was easy enough. But then I realised I was a little bit wrong and had to redirect them. Oops. hehe. So we all ended up joining in the hunt, I lost a bit of bark after an argument with a rock. (I think the rock won) In the end though, we triumphed. Signed the log, replaced the cache and happily headed off to the next one. Thanks for the cache! 2009-06-19T00:00:00Z flange_1&tribe Found Well Well FIX IT WE DID.....lol We are very sorry about this but....while MRS flange was trying to reach the bootie she slipped on the wet grass and DROPPED the goodies down the hole/CAVE....lol So she returned to the geomobile and i went over with my long arms BUT it was down to far. So back to the geomobile and off we ran........Joking We have now replaced the cache with a new sistema container a little smaller....new log book and pencil...but no swaps I we have packed the hole a little so hopefully it won't fall in again....lol we are so sorry for losing this one........ 2009-05-30T00:00:00Z deadolga Found Cache was in the obvious place which made an easy find. Log book is still very wet. Cache has got crack in bottom of it. Unfortunately I had no bandages to keep it waterproof. 2009-04-11T00:00:00Z hikers@299 Found Ended up being easy to find. I was heading to a different section, but we crossed the road right in front of it. It was a bit damp. 2009-03-18T00:00:00Z beetles2 Found great spot, just wish i had enough time to find nearby one (another day). 2009-03-17T00:00:00Z If Found I wandered across the highway and stood in front of the outcrop. Ah! A cache. But I could see as soon as I lifted the rock off it that there was a gaping hole in the lid and that the cache was full of water. I tipped the liquid out and returned to the geomobile with the cache. Time for some medical treatment. I applied some bandages to fix the hole and took the logbook with me on a stroll to find another cache. Waving the book around as I strolled dried it out quite a bit :D By the time I put the cache back in its hidey hole everything was only slightly damp. TFTC. 2009-02-09T00:00:00Z polfil Found Found it at 13:15. Took teaspoon, left earplugs. Thanks 2009-01-14T00:00:00Z The Morris Found Scary spot to get to with lots of traffic this morning. Found on our way to Cradle Mountain. TNLN TFTC 2009-01-09T00:00:00Z Dippedidooda Found Nice easy find after I went to Somerset doing errands for Mum! Was surprised that it was across the road! But interesting little cliffs. Took the new geocoin which Robtas put in, have now placed in Franklin River toilet stop. Thanks deegees. 2008-12-15T00:00:00Z Neribil Found A nice stroll across the road to add this one to my tally TNLN Thanks 2008-11-22T00:00:00Z robtas Found nice easy find left new geocoin thanks 2008-11-02T00:00:00Z FaltigBlack Found Just a quick stop. Found easily great cache. TNLNSL. 2008-11-01T00:00:00Z red tag Found While sending a message on my mobile I somehow crossed the road without really noticing and then proceeded to go the wrong direction. Finished sending the message then looked up to see March Brown had already found it. Thanks anyway deegees even though I didn't play a huge part in finding it I was still grateful for the cache 2008-11-01T00:00:00Z March Brown Found I wonder what the muggles in cars thought of us sitting on the grass on the side of the road logging this cache. Managed to replace it during a break in the traffic. Thanks deegees 2008-10-30T00:00:00Z hookline Found Very busy highway. Felt quite conspicuous skulking around in the dark in the glare of all the headlights. Thankfully cache was very easy to find. Thanks. 2008-10-22T00:00:00Z 3daygrowth Found Toook longer to cross the road than to find the cache. Many thanks. 2008-10-18T00:00:00Z mommas chic cart Found Nice to get back into things with a nice easy one! Thankyou deegees. On our trip back we noticed road works in this area. Not sure how that would affect your cache though. Left-Pirate skull head magnet Took - Car 2008-10-16T00:00:00Z Boagsratz Found Muggles everywhere today, in the form of Road workers and traffic! However, we can disguise ourselves to look like either of those, no probs! Found it easily enough, and it is a geat little spot. TNLN, Thanks Degees for another nice cache. 2008-10-06T00:00:00Z TeamSwampy Found Another easy find, which will be my last (for this trip). Well stocked cache with a great view. TNLN. Thanks deegees. Find #26 on my "Am I Ever Gonna See your Face Again?" Tour because it is taking sooo long to get home! Swampy 2008-10-02T00:00:00Z sirius Tas Found Had some unfinished caches out that way...so what the heck...and a nice FTF as well.Pulled up within 10m of cache(4wd handy here)...looking at the rocks...soon twigged as to cache name...good one deegees.

very pleasant spot for the whole family and a good spot to launch the boat or canoe. central to all the features of this part of town. 2009-08-12T00:00:00Z dean_erwin Found Quick easy find, and our last one for the day. TNLNSL 2009-08-12T00:00:00Z CarrollEyre Found Like dean-erwin this was my last cache for the day. I will be coming back here with the family to launch canoes as it is a great clean spot for launching boats with kids. (Clean as in meaning no mud). I felt a bit guilty about finding this one without the CEyrettes as they would have enjoyed exploring around the GZ. Thanks Robtas. 2009-06-21T00:00:00Z flange_1&tribe Found Nice easy find after a short walk All is well at GZ 2009-03-20T00:00:00Z beetles2 Found nice spot to relax, make sure you check out nearby "there's a bear in there". 2009-03-17T00:00:00Z gorbak Found A lovely spot for a cache and my first find after work in Ulverstone on my trip home (via a few more caches first of course). 2009-03-10T00:00:00Z Neribil Found A lovely spot on a warm Autumn day.

A WALK ON THE WINDY SIDE

This place is great for walking in the wind on your own or with the the mutts. The cache is not hard to find but in an obvious place to a cacher 2009-08-30T00:00:00Z dean_erwin Found Nice easy find in the most logical location near GZ. Took a pen, left a pen. Last one for the afternoon! 2009-08-30T00:00:00Z DKnT Found My feet got a little wet on the way in and the blackberry vines made a few puncture marks in my legs but nothing was going to stop me from finding another robtas cache today. Little T asked who had placed the cache and upon being told he said he was looking for a "log"... I think he's onto you robtas :) Thanks for the cache. 2009-06-19T00:00:00Z flange_1&tribe Found Nice easy find for the boss just a short walk to GZ thnx for this one 2009-04-18T00:00:00Z shazcol Found Lots of of unbroken Urchin shells and some very colorful small shells after the resent storms. Had a wonderful time walking along the flotsam and jetsam for a while. 2009-03-17T00:00:00Z beetles2 Found pleasant short stroll to locate this cache 2009-02-21T00:00:00Z Dippedidooda Found When the cache name is "windy walk" you can't but help comment on the windiness! At 7pm on Saturday evening it was gloriously warm and calm - no wind at all. So I obviously picked a good day to find it! Thanks robtas. 2009-01-17T00:00:00Z hookline Found Nice walk and beach. Wasn't windy, just sunny and a bit cool, though it does look like a windswept area. 2008-12-04T00:00:00Z Neribil Found It was not too windy when I set out for this one.

Thanks Robtas. 2008-11-02T00:00:00Z red tag Found Suspect this area is rarely not windy but still a very pleasant place for a cache. Thanks robtas 2008-10-23T00:00:00Z TeamSwampy Found 2008-10-23 17:29 #47 SSDS Certainly was windy. Found the cache in about 2 seconds flat. TNLN, thanks robtas Swampy 2008-10-13T00:00:00Z deegees Found A windy day, but fine and smooth sea. GPSr playing up, but a nice quick and easy find. TNLNSL TFTC (Date is only approximate - I forgot to record when I found it!) 2008-10-12T00:00:00Z CarrollEyre Found A surprising cache to find that totally made up for my loss of face (and cache) at Rockhoppers hideout today. I forgot to record the co-ordinates for this cache or description and clues before our trip and all the CEyrettes had was the Google Earth map with the cryptic Win...and half a flag right on the border of the map. So using observations of rock colours on the beach, houses and the railway line disappearing under the hight way were were able to find the cache, not even knowing what we were looking for. After all this the beach is well worth exploring with many interesting shells and urchin pieces to souvenir. We were interested in the swamp just a few back from the beach and had to wonder just how wildlife lived in it, i.e. was it a snake haven? Thanks Robtas. 2008-09-17T00:00:00Z robtas Other published by robtas 2008-09-17T00:00:00Z sirius Tas Found Found this one at night @ 2030...but too late for a FTF so it seems. All was quite calm at this hour. Easily found...co-ords good. Another nice neck of the woods...or coastline. TNLN...TFTC...robtas...Cheers. 2008-09-17T00:00:00Z 3daygrowth Found Just happened to be on the computer when this one popped up, so grabbed the torch and the wife and took off. Cache was easily found as the coords were spot on. It was real good to beat Sirius for FTF for once!

Another cache near a popular fishing spot (FOUR SPRINGS) that is well worth a visit, Fishing is restricted to 1hr before DAYLIGHT to 1hr after DARK, Dont forget to bring a rod, (if you have the appropriate liscence that is) If you don't and you have kids (U14) then just bring a rod for them, Once you have found the cache have a wander up on the bank and check out the buildings,   Cache is a black 200ml Sistema with log book and a couple of small swaps, Don't forget to visit GA0792 while you are here,   Follow the road till you come to the car park near the boat ramp then you will have to walk unless you have a boat then it would almost be a drive by, Sensible footwear required preferably waterproof, If not take spare socks you will probably need them, stump 2009-07-16T00:00:00Z March Brown Found Followed the GPS and came to a locked gate some 300m from the cache so I parked there and walked up the road and down past the toilets to the cache. Not sure where I was meant to get my feet wet. Great spot will have to come back for a fish. Thanks 5commer3 2009-05-23T00:00:00Z flange_1&tribe Found Nice easy find after heading down the road and not around the side of the lake (well the wife did the walk)i stayed with mini cacher thnx gr8 spot 2009-04-10T00:00:00Z shazcol Found Nice evening walk around the lake. Plenty of fisher muggles on the water. 2009-01-14T00:00:00Z TeamSwampy Found 2009-01-14 19:03 Thankfully the buildings were working! There is no need to get your feet wet either. Follow the Gunns road, take the left fork about 100m until you reach a sign marked 50m, then turn right at the sign. No wet feet! Learnt that leeches can swim - so look out. I saw 2 of them, pointed out to me by a couple of muggles nearby. TFTC. 2008-09-06T00:00:00Z sirius Tas Found Know this area like the back of my hand....so took the easy way. Fisher muggle oblivious to what I was up to in the dawn raid. Nice spot here...co-ords good...good hide. Must be heaps of fish here as always plenty of people about. TNLNSL...TFTC 5commer3....Cheers. 2008-09-06T00:00:00Z 3daygrowth Found First stop on a great days caching. Was hoping for FTF but it wasnt to be even though I had cache in hand before 8am. Nice one 5C3 2008-09-06T00:00:00Z Dippedidooda Found Only missed the FTF by at least 6 or 7 hours...(or more)!!! Walked along the Gunns owned road to it which seems to be tolerated going by the signs - not that I know the area, but took a punt, and it was a lovely track which made for (dry) level walking still with nice views - met a couple of horseriders enjoying the area too. I thought "oncorhynchus" must be latin for "butt" but I was reliably informed by 5commer3 that it is indeed the latin name of the rainbow trout - and there were certainly plenty of people trying to catch them! Great to have a chat - thanks for catching me up - as I was trying to get away - I'd sensed someone was half-watching me!!! Thanks also for placing the cache - had never known about this area, and after driving on the quiet roads for ages, the lake area was a haven of activity! Really nice placement, great cache, thanks 5commer3. 2008-09-03T00:00:00Z 5commer3 Other 2008-08-29T00:00:00.000Z GA1202 The Devils Gauntlet C - Freycinet Frolick Geocaching Australia http://geocaching.com.au/cache/ga1202 The Devils Gauntlet C - Freycinet Frolick Geocache Geocache The Devils Gauntlet C - Freycinet Frolick sirius Tas Coles Bay Tasmania Australia Traditional Regular 3 4.5

As this cache belongs to a series...PLEASE NOTE conditions at cache....   <a href="../../../cache/ga1150">geocaching.com.au/cache/ga1150</a> Excellent walking notes by Marian Harradine can be found at <a href="http://www.wildtiger.biz/index.php?tracknotes&id=36">www.wildtiger.biz/index.php</a> This cache can be reached with a full days walk of around 9hrs(moi  9h 20m)....depending on fitness of course...but you may prefer to camp at one of the various designated camping areas. This walk is quite taxing with a total climb of over 1200m and a round trip of approx. 30km. You may wish to locate the caches GC1FHXK....Waterfall Lounge and GA0646....Freycinet Circuit on your way around. The latter cache requires you to visit the Hazards beach...which you can do by completing the round trip as described in the above link. Pick perfect weather and you'll be rewarded with unsurpassed views of most of the Freycinet Peninsular and surrounds. Be aware that as summer progresses some of the creeks may dry up...so carry plenty of water with you. At time of placement Graham Creek was still just running but better flows were had in the creeks on the way to Cook's Beach. The cache is a black 1.2lt sistema with logbook, pencil, code printouts, Tassie Devil badges(no swap required) and various swaps. Enjoy!   Under a boulder approx. 1.5m west of tree trunk. 2009-02-07T00:00:00Z RapidSupreme Found Well, that was harder than I expected! I've been wanting to a) do an epic run and b)explore Freycinet NP a little more than the walk to Wineglass Bay so when I realised I'd have the time to do this one after spending a few days at Bicheno I jumped at the chance. Loaded up with electrolytes and snakes and headed off over the saddle at a little after 12. Although I was expecting a climb, I wasn't expecting such a constant grade and such bad humidity all the way up Mt. Graham. But once you cross the creek and hit the plateau it's all worth it - views all round and a very cool rock city amongst the the marshy button grass. It actually reminded me a lot of Scandinavian countryside up there. Then Mt. Freycinet looms, after than depressing drop down to the saddle, I can understand how Dippy felt as the rock climbing portion of the walk begins. Then the summit - ultimate exhilaration, it was blowing up there and some cloud was coming in and obscuring my view of the Hazards. I quickly got to finding the cache (thanks for the hint, my GPS was about 10m out at the cache site) and by the time I'd logged and replaced the 360 degree view was there to see. I didn't linger long as I cooled off pretty quickly in the wind and went back the way I'd come (better the devil you know!). Hit the Hazards end of Wineglass Bay in a little over 4 hours to find the beach almost tourist free! The waves were beckoning and I pretty much fell it, the refreshing waves were exactly what I needed! The climb back over the saddle was less enjoyable, but I made it and headed back down quickly to the car as I was getting fairly peckish! Thanks aplenty to Sirius tas, what a great series - this is the type of cache I want to do more of now (kinda sick of the urban hide I have to admit), and what a great cache to make 4 digits on. People, plan your trips to Freycinet now while the weather is good! 2009-01-10T00:00:00Z geoskid Found What a fantastic walk this was! Definitely the most taxing of the series so far. I had already decided I wanted to do this as an overnighter, and Hooklines 'Blue Champagne' sealed the deal. My family spent 3 Nights on Freycinet on the way back from 10 nights on Bruny in the caravan, specifically to cache and this one was the main target. I did the walk on my own and the rest of the family had thier own Freycinet Frolic on the beaches. I walked clockwise and camped at Cooks Hut and then down to Bryans Beach in the morning without the tent and then back to camp to pack up and completed the circuit along Hazards Beach, with the family meeting me half way around the Hazards with a cold beer. I really enjoyed not having to race the clock knowing I had all day to get to Cooks Hut. I started walking at 7.30am Sat and got to Cooks at 5pm, and started walking at 5.50am Sun. to Bryans and was back at Carpark by 12.30pm. Saw 4 dolphins swimming quite close to shore in wineglass bay. Really enjoyed the Plateau walking up to Mt. Graham and the awesome views all around. Dropped the pack before heading up Mt Freycinet where the real fun began - looked for ages for the cache before a mild panic attack set in about not finding the cache - this was not an option! After trusting the GPS and dropping my previous assumptions, thigs were all up after that and then the cache was found easily! Phew! A real sense of acheivement. I rang the family from the top to let them know where I was, and my 9 yr old son said he was standing next to the green gate at the caravan, and could I see him waving - of course I said yes! On to Cooks and some 'Blue Champagne' Thanks Sirius, Just brilliant. 2008-12-20T00:00:00Z March Brown Found Set off this morning with this cache as the primary target, a couple of others were done on the way and another afterwards. I found this peak fairly easy to walk so was soon at the top where I spent quite a long time looking. As it was it turned out to be one of the first spots I looked. Well done Sirius a cache at the top. Very rewarding find as to come this far and not find would be a disaster. In all I walked 42km and took 14.75 in total to do it. Thanks heaps Sirius for a great cache location. 2008-12-09T00:00:00Z Neribil Found In the company of Redtag this was a top walk even if it took us all day. The conditions were overcast with little breeze so it was a bit humid walking. Found the cache without to much searching using the hint but noted it had its second find about a week ago but has not been logged to date. Good views from the top with threatening storm clouds on the way. Limited water in the area but Graham creek had a small flow. Went on to log Freycinet Circuit and Waterfall Lounge. The scenery, wild flowers and the experience is always worth the effort and Wineglass bay is always a top spot. The clouds broke about half an hour from the car park so its was raincoats on to complete the day. Done the circuit a number of times and I will be back. Thanks Sirius, these walks may not be suited to all but for those who are able and interested they are much appreciated. 2008-12-09T00:00:00Z red tag Found This was my first find in the Gauntlet series and it was a terrific walk. Its been far too long since I was last on Freycinet and its only 2.5 hour drive from home so I have no excuse for leaving it so long. It really is a beautiful place and it was great fun walking it today with Neribil (or Puffing Billy as I like to call him now) The mozzies ate us alive and the rain fair dumped on us in the last half hour before getting back to the car but the views from Freycinet Summit and Mt Graham were spectacular and there is something about the aqua colour of the water and the white pristine sand that almost hypnotises you. It was pretty even as far as the sand and water fights went with Neribil but he sure beat me when it came to finding the cache(s) today. I was fairly confident I was about to score my first badge but I missed out again by only a few days. Congrats Hookline on STF Huge thanks Sirius for this cache. Coords were spot on and the hint guaranteed a find which is important when its a bit of an effort to get there. I am looking forward to coming back in the near future! 2008-12-03T00:00:00Z hookline Found Well, this was some walk. The hardest one I've ever done, to be sure. Me and Indy did a complete anti-clockwise circuit of the peninsula, including side trips to the end of Bryan's beach (where we left our own cache) and of course Mt. Freycinet. The beaches were beautiful, the water gem-like and the sands crystal white. Thought we were going to get caught in a rainstorm on Hazard's beach-- some ominous grey clouds to the west while walking to our first campsite-- but thankfully it blew a different way. The clouds made for a dramatic backdrop against the sea and mountains. By the time we got up to where the track branches off to the Devil's Gauntlet cache, I was already pretty darned tired. Not sure what compelled me to go on. Madness? The prospect of a shiny badge? A zealous boyfriend who likes climbing mountains? Perhaps all of the above. In any case, Indy went ahead, doing well as usual, while I struggled along behind. I'm short and big, bouldery steps don't agree with me. Admittedly, the views at the top and logging a STF in the cache were worth it. Then of course we had to climb back down, and there was still a long, long walk ahead over yet another mountain to reach the Wineglass Bay campsite. Seemed to take forever to get there, and our feet were murdered in the end. Thanks Red Tag, and sorry you missed out on a badge. Everyone who does this climb deserves one. Thanks Sirius for an incredible cache and an experience of a lifetime. 2008-09-18T00:00:00Z sirius Tas Note Woohoo...Big Congrats to Dippy on FTF and a magnificent effort...well done. 2008-09-16T00:00:00Z Dippedidooda Found Wow - what a monster day! I was a bit nervous about tackling such a big walk - especially given that I don't consider myself very fit at the moment, so I set off at 6am to give myself plenty of time. Wineglass was gorgeous at that time of day, and the wallaby and joey were very unafraid and cute at the Wineglass Campsite (photos on Snuva's "Freycinet Circuit"). The walk up to Mt Graham was great but by the time I got to the saddle where the track to Mt Freycinet heads off(and up), I was feeling it and could easily have walked right on past. Had a rest and just thought of it as one step after another and soon enough was at the top. Fantastic views of course and energy surged to find the cache...which was in the perfectly logical spot...but as my GPS was pointing about 5m away and I wasn't overly keen on the height factor, I looked over, around and under everything for so long that eventually I didn't care where I was clambering and wound up at the top with a cache!!! (Had of course gone right by it many times prior). Weather was fine and cool, perfect for walking, except for a downfall of hail while I was searching for the cache, which was kind of odd and sort of like mockery from above. Many really lovely wildflowers along the way too. I completed the circuit in 11 and 1/2 hours, by which time everything was hurting and I think I may have been doing a Cliff Young shuffle. But a huge sense of accomplishment and a magnificent walk... and it's amazing how restorative a 14 hour sleep can be!!! Took Devil Badge, pen (and the FTF), left purse. Thank you Sirius - a most memorable day. 2008-08-30T00:00:00Z sirius Tas Other The Devils await. 2008-08-24T00:00:00.000Z GA1198 Salvelinus fontinalis Geocaching Australia http://geocaching.com.au/cache/ga1198 Salvelinus fontinalis Geocache Geocache Salvelinus fontinalis 5commer3 Hadspen Tasmania Australia Traditional Regular 1.5 3

A good place to go and try your luck for a trout so please feel free to bring a rod, (if you have the apropriate liscence that is) Can be a bit of a challenge to get to but it is usually worth the effort, Parking is a bit difficult near the cache as it is on a major road with plenty of traffic most of the time, You can park on the Western side of the bridge (reccomended if you only have a 2 wheel drive) S41.31.473 E147.03.960 and walk over the bridge, Or park on the Eastern side of the bridge but only if you are travelling West from Launceston and have a 4x4, S41.31.135 E147.04.550 Not reccomended for kids or pets due to the fact that you will have to walk along the side of a busy road with fast moving traffic, PLEASE BE CAREFUL The cache is on the Eastern side of the river so unless you are a strong swimmer you will have to walk over the bridge from the Western side, Cache is on crown land and is a black 200ml sistema with a few small swaps, behind small bush under rock 2009-05-23T00:00:00Z flange_1&tribe Found Nice easy find once the walk to GZ was over thnx for the cache all is well at GZ 2009-05-02T00:00:00Z beetles2 Found Thanks for the cache and the very muddy sandshoes. Parked at Eastern end. Walked along a very muddy track to find the cache. 2009-05-02T00:00:00Z Dippedidooda Found By the time I was passing here, there was just a tiny bit of light left in the sky...which didn't last very long. But I had my little torch and so I was able to pick my way down and back without hassle, despite a rather soggy track. The bridge span sure is big. Thanks for the cache 5commer3. 2009-04-10T00:00:00Z shazcol Found We parked just before the armco on the Eastern side as we approached from Launceston. Followed the rough track down beside the road and down to the bridge. Distance was only about 650M each way. Amazing how much rubbish from the highway. Found OK once in the right spot. 2009-02-01T00:00:00Z robtas Found found on my "why am I caching in this bloody heat "tour. vey hot for the long walk but cache easily found. 2009-01-18T00:00:00Z gixerk5 Found Another quick find left Penguin Eraser SL TFTC 2009-01-13T00:00:00Z Neribil Found On a hot day the water looked tempting but did not put the toe in.

We were traveling light because we only had the ute so for one of the first times ever neither of us had a fishing rod with us! With the heavy rain the river had a good flow and looked great.
