Alonn(g)ah lunch break Alonnah, Tasmania, Australia
By Cheesy pigs on 05-Nov-05. Waypoint GA0248

Bye

Did maintenance today, just after eating lunch at the shelter/bbq area.
Washed it out, dried it, TNL pen, replanted back where it came from and the race to catch the ferry....

Nothing wrong with an easy cache, beautiful beach, sunny day, what a great spot!
took led keyring
left lavender massage oil

Rated: for Overall Experience

A quick find whilst checking out Allonnah. Very windy and wild out on the floating jetty.
Thanks CP's

Grabbed the Toronto coin out of the cache that fidjit accidently dropped in.

Will drop it off in a GC cache soon.

Oh, and the man working on the new shelter was sitting in his ute, having lunch or reading the paper or something..

I note that nobody has found this cache since I visited last time in June. I dropped Toronto Geocoin in this cache last time and didn't realize that you couldn't log it into a GCA cache.
Last couple of times on Bruny I haven't had a chance to get up to Alonnah so haven't had a chance to retrieve coin.
Can whoever goes next time please retrieve and replace in a GC cache. I'll relog the coin as placed when you do.
Thanks in advanced.

Couldn't actually look for this one...as workers building a shelter where GPSr was pointing...so had to keep going. Cheers.

Easy find with hint but without the hint, H10 would still be stuck in the middle of some blackberry bushes. TN Left Geocoin. TFTC.

Yay! another CP's cache. Third one in a row.

Feeling a little weak from walking Musical Cape we went for the easy drive by instead of the other ones in the area.
Told Mr red tag I would grab it while he sat in the car but after searching GZ I realized that it wasn't going to be that easy.
In the meantime some muggles set up their picnic lunch and were watching my every move.
So....consulted the PDA, checked out the hint, and had Dippy's coords ready just in case.
Turned out to be an easy find with the hint, and glad it was 'there' instead of where I was looking to start with, otherwise we would have missed seeing the beach.
Thanks Cheesy Pigs. TNLNSL

Went nearby for tea after the "Ultra Challenge" ...enjoyed the stroll down to the cache before heading inside. It's a glorious spot. Never would have found without the hint, even missed it first time with the hint! (But hint was spot on and ensured success). Took some more coords as an alternative set to try S43° 18.899' E147° 14.564'. Thanks for the cache Cheesy Pigs, enjoyed it, TNLNSL.

we would have been still looking at tea time with out the hint forgive me for swaps lost paper work

Went looking for this on by boat as we were diving for scallops nearby. Found fairly easily but I think the coordinates might be a bit off and the hint is needed. Nice to sit on the beach and log with no one around. Took Pig and left small shoe key ring. Thanks Cheesy pigs for another excellent cache.

Found this on the way back to the ferry. Good thing I had the hint or I'd still be looking at the play equipment!

Remember me? Soy el golco!!!and I'm determined to get back into business, at least in a minor way, and hope that this will be the start of it!
Found on a cold, windy Tasmanian "summer" day after spending four of such days at Dennes Point. Required only a "small" detour on our way to catch the ferry home.
A pleasant outlook and a chance to check out the nearby boat mooring facilities (a section of the old Hobart Floating Bridge now used as a jetty for small fishing and recreational boats).
Found using hint as co-ords were sending us 15m+- in another direction!

Gracias muchas por esta cache Familia Jamon!!

Stayed and had lunch with grand she devil,windy day now onto Clear Sky Bay and then the Mountain. Thanks CP

was working nearby, (yeah, yeah, I know... i couldn't resist starting this log like that) & this cache was only a short walk from where I was working, & had an hour for lunch so a very enjoyable stroll had this one in my lunch hour, minus the GPS as it's still not working properly.. dunno whats wrong with it, but a decent map & the clue found it easily enough... this is my first find for a month or three, wonder if I could of found one further from Home?

cache is in good order, nice & dry. TNLN, thanks for the cache Guys..

We thought the coords were a little out, but the hint helped. A little dog materialised near us to say hello, and to aid 5yo cacherboy in the finishing off of sandwich crusts. And how nice it was to be able to grab a cache and then sit down on a real chair and table to log, swap etc. while having lunch and a cup of tea at the same time. Normally, we would be sitting on an uncomfortable wet rock while juggling notebooks, Pocket PCs, pens etc. Took car, left owl and mondo doll. Thanks CPs.

Found eventually, Great spot!

took highlighter, left tweetie toy.

It was nearing lunch time and the slaves already had 2 nice walks done (only one for me, alas!), so Alonn(g)ah lunch break sounded like a good idea. This should have been an easy, quick find, however first one slave then the other went to GZ and stumbled all over incompetently. Although Swampy and orac mention a hint in their logs, there wasn’t any on the PDA, so I attempted to send a message asking my friend Mrs CP for the hint, however there wasn’t any mobile coverage there. Sigh.

We went back to Lunawanna as from the outside their local shop looked quite nice and we anticipated a lovely lunch. . .but things didn’t look quite so promising from the inside. I was able to send my message to Mrs CP though, and she immediately rang back and spoke with the female slave giving her the hint. So the slaves had salad rolls (which were freshly made and not all that bad) and I had a delicious yogurt. We headed back to Alonnah and immediately scored the cache! #3 for the day (not that we were counting)!!! Coordinates were pretty close, however without the hint there were just too many places to look; with the hint we had it immediately.

Last for the day on the island, needed the hint for this one. TNLNSL and watched Swampy hit his 200. Ta Cheesy Pigs

YAY!!!!!!FTF!!!!!!200 caches!!!!!FTF!!!!! YAY!!!!!
I have finally managed my 200th cache. Thanks to the Chessy Pigs for attending the unofficial Bruny Island Non-Event Event and for advising us it was planted before we drove past Alonnah on our way to the ferry. Team Tweeti also also in attandance for this auspicious occasion (3 caching teams all on the island together!!)
Found with the aid of the hint and I have updated co-ords slightly as the Cheesys was just a tad out.
Took nothing, left something (mini highlighter I think).
Thanks CPs
