Time to go

A nice walk under light rain to this cache. We walked past GZ then came back to find it. But hahaha...we didn't read the logs or cache details when we got back to the car I had a leech on me which caused the GF to have a minor freak out as she has a small fear of them. You can read her log to see She dropped off a TB for someone to pick up.

Would have been nice to have read previous logs as I have a HUGE hatred/fear of leeches! Enjoyed this nice walk in the rain, found the cache, left my TB and realised upon return to the car that we had leeches! This sent me into panic and we almost missed the ferry off because I insisted on a full party leech inspection before I would return to the vehicle. I felt like I had those little buggers on me all day until I had a shower and could thoroughly ensure they were not on me! GROSS!

Track finishes at GZ. there is a warning sign about going to the falls because of track conditions. Got leech before it got me. TNLN TFTC

Beautiful trail but muddy and 1 leech!

First find on our Bruny Island Holiday. Good little walk with plenty of leeches. Needed the hint as the GPS said 'No'. Pity the track to the falls is still closed.
Thanks CP's

Wow, this was a really lovely walk. Saw some cool orange fungi along the way. Expected the contents of the cache to be a damp, yucky mess, it was in such a wet area, but was surprised to find it clean and dry and nice instead, with some nice swaps, too.

The leech army was out in force. Not sure what compelled us to camp at that picnic site in the midst of them (we were tired, it was getting dark and we didn't want to drive all the way back to the Neck where a bunch of noisy drunken yobbos were camping).

So we pitched a tent in the leech-infested moss, instead. Hmm...

A quick burst out to this cache through lovely forest. The trail looks like its getting some work done....but still no go past the cache. With all the tourists who come here...you'd of thought that the trail could be upgraded...fairly ordinary to say the least. TNLN...TFTEC...Many thanks Cheesy pigs...Cheers.

Rated: for Overall Experience

nice little walk and no one scored any leaches. Thanks

Took off to find the cache just as the sun was going down in the west, so I was running out of light. GPSr had me past the cache before it decided to correct itself.
Found the cache without pictures (what pictures?), TNLN
Thanks Cheesys
Swampy

Nope, not muggles. Thomas ( T14 ) can probably be considered a mudblood as not as into caching as much as R12 and H10. He's filled out the log. That's a Fidjit and co log

Found by muggles Thomas and Ian

Nice easy find on a bit of a wet day. Only ended up with 3 leeches between T14 and myself TNLNSL.

1st of three to find for the day!
Found with Cache my Bubbles on our weekend at an hippy wedding at Cloudy Bay Lagoon.
Got out of there quick smart what with the army attacking within seconds of getting out of the car!
Great walk though.

Found with Weathafurkawi....who won on the leech front 7:1!
good hints, TFTH

Found at 2.50pm GAFF3. This was more like leaches paradise in the wet conditions. We ended up with about 7 leaches on us merrily sucking our blood. We headed off at a high pace so as to return quickly for a late lunch of Bruny Isl oysters and cheeses in the shelter. We found that we went way past GZ as we didn't have the photo clues with us, but after realising that the track was getting awfully muddy and difficult we decided to go back 90 metres and look for the given hint. Thankfully the cache was found fairly quickly when we got to the given hint. Thanks Cheesy pigs.

VERY ENJOYABLE WALK WITH GRAND HE DEVIL,FOUND REASONABLY EASY,PLACED ROCK ON TOP,AS THERE WAS NONE AS HINT SAID.TOOK BRACELET,LEFT PHOTO FRAME,S/L TFTC C.P.

Great cache Cheesy Pigs!
After doing a three hour, 50km voyage of the coastline of South Bruny Island and appreciating it’s spectacular beauty, its remoteness, and the power and majesty of the Southern Ocean onboard one of the Bruny Island Charter 12.5 metre vessels, we were pumped ready to take on an adventure on the land as well.
Only trouble was that damn ferry schedule …grrrh. So it was one find for today but a very enjoyable one.
“Love this Place†both on the land and the water!
Took squealing, pig Left stickers. Cache was in perfect condition and easy to find with the hint.

took a while to find , didnt see photo , read clues 10 times to sink in ,didnt find rocks or dead manfern but found plastic , logged and hitailed out of there cause little tacker was wet to armpits . tnlnsl thanks cheesy pigs

Lost GPS signal after 200m. Found two upright posts on the track (approx 400m) - but no waterfall. Track got really boggy and overgrown after the posts so gave up on this one. Came away with some leeches as company.

Thought this would be a quick find to finish off the day... Got to near GZ (I'd left the clue in the car and could only remember half of it) and started searching. After a couple of minutes I looked down to see hundreds of leeches making their way up my boots and legs. Flicked as many off as I could and then ran back to the car for the salt and matches! Now I know why it has a three star difficulty rating! It'll be a while before I'm back to get this one!

The weather had picked up by the time we got to this one, 2nd for the day. Easy find took led key ring torch and left Hot works car. TFTC Cheesy pigs

Yay another FTF for us today. A lovely forest walk to the cache. No leeches were encountered. I'm sorry to say that we didn't make it to the falls as we had to rush to catch the last ferry. Must return for a proper visit.
Thank You for this cache Cheesy Pigs. Even Cacherboy enjoyed these ones.
