Cache has been muggled and there is just a plastic bag left with very little - we have sent a message to the CO.
Big hill, sad find. All I found was three plastic bags, geocaching information and pulp that used to be a log. Guess the weather got to it as well as the local wildlife. Love this reserve. Thanks for the cache.
No trackables

Been meaning to grab this one for a while now. Made the short climb to the GZ and found the container in the open. Most likely kicked out by wildlife, signed the log but took nothing and left nothing, thanks Waterwells for this cache hide
This little walk got the blood flowing!! Found it eventually after looking in the wrong tree! TFTC!
Found it ages ago, just logged it. TFTC

While looking for somewhere to have lunch spotted this one which sounded like a good location. It was. Nice gardens with picnic shelter and then a short stroll to the cache. Took TB.
Found it on a beautiful spring morning. Left Takkie the travel bug dog. Hope someone will pick him up and help him continue his journey around the world.
Showed a muggle friend how to geocache.. She's hooked! She loved this cache btw
Elcato 27/10/12 tftc love this reserve, very busy today lots of kids and birthday party going on!! Tnln
Just about to finish our Tasmanian holiday and decided to spend these days in and around Launceston gathering a few caches. Found quickly after using our geosenses.

Lots of muggle families enjoying the facilities here today but the cache is hidden well away from prying eyes. Bright sunshine and caches to find...what more could we ask for? TFTC Waterwells [^]
Went in a bug finding mission today before our trip to the States, no bugs here even though there are 2 logged to be here.....?

Have to agree, a lovely area this time of the year, great day for a walk in the area.TFTC
Lovely walk through the reserve & caching along the way. Found easily. Took marble Left lizard. geosister did not like the ants, haha
1st Punchbowl find. This geocache (only started last week) was the incentive to go for an evening walk. Not too well hidden in spot. Will try & camouflage a little more. Thanx. Left penguin, took nothing.
Thanks Waterwells for a great hide. Haven't explored the Puchbowl before so enjoyed the excuse for a look around. Nearly got attacked by a flock of ducks looking to snag my lunchtime sandwich... Beware the birds.
We enjoyed doing these caches in an area which we had not visited before. Glorious weather made it a perfect caching day. Thanks waterwells
All the way from Kalgoorlie WA... Bloody hilly walk. Love it. No TB through in cache
Found at 10.10am on a walk around Launceston
A pretty little park,
A nice quiet area for the cache GZ

The guy driving the lawn mower tractor seemed confused when I appeared from nowhere. TFTC
A lovely park to explore from end to end. The kids did enjoy the swings, feeding the ducks, they especially enjoyed discovering the rock chasm at the other end of the reserve and they enjoyed their stroll up the slope to find this cache. The cache was easily found and we happily signed the logbook, made swaps and grabbed the TB while enjoying the panaroma of the almost deserted park on a crisp and clear winter's day. Thanks Waterwells.
Found late on a lovely afternoon. Lots of kids running around but nowhere near where we were. TFTC
Nice spot! Bit of a hike in and out on foot after looking for some other caches in the area, but worth the effort. Left (new!) travel hair comb, took Dora travel bug. Thanks for the cache!
Sherbie Girl strikes again !!! Lots of running mini muggles on the park today - competition very fierce!!! Quacks were also out in force .... Nice location took million dollar note and dropped Dora bug mhcff0 along with some bubbles tftc
Another cache in a great park. A hidden gem.
Cataract Gorge gets all the publicity, but this is a great area too.

The park was nearly deserted today. A quick walk between showers and the cache was soon in hand. TNLN. Thankyou for organising the hide.
Easy find.. The location is trully beautiful ! Thank you! Took phone pouch, left florence TB and a pocket watch ..
Found while visiting this great park. EB Nano enjoyed the swings while the Chief and 99 burnt out their calves getting up the hill. No trackables evident in the cache, beginning to think Launceston is a bit of a black hole for TB's & geocoins, they seem to disappear! TFTC

Another beautiful Launceston park - beautifully maintained. Lots of families enjoying the facilities today. Nobody paid us any attention as we strolled towards gz and made the find.
We are on an “Escaping Christmas” and “Geocaching” holiday in Tasmania. There wasn't much else to do in Launceston on New Year's Day (they didn't even have fireworks last night!?) so we went caching instead. This would have to be the nicest park we have been to in our time in Tasmania. Thank you for bringing us here. We parked in the car park and walked past lots of families enjoying the day and lots of ducks enjoying the bread they were throwing to them. We walked up the hill and managed to make a quick find once at GZ. TNLNSL TFTC
great place for a visit, picnic and walk around the lake, a steep walk up to cache great hide,
hope the developement close by wont hurt the feel of the place.

Nice and easy find a little puffed though! Took star wars chip, left million dollar note. TFTC
That was mean - you drive past teh cache with nowhere to stop and have to walk back up the hill to the cache.
The hill was fairly steep but it was not going to stop me and I found and logged the cache.
I also took the TB

A beautiful spot, although would recomend gumboots at the moment because we have had so much rain which the ducks are enjoying very much. Lots of mud.

Fortunately the gate was still open late at night - when we visited.

No punches thrown but a cache was found at 1327hrs. Great little spot, not visited by me for such a long, long time. Thanks for taking me back and cheers OldSaint.
On this very sunny autumn day, many people were enjoying the great amenities in this park. Luckily the cache was well away from play and eating areas and we were able to complete the find quite easily. Left TB "The Fun Rider" and took the TB 9WJVN1W. We left a new log book as the current one was full. TFTC
Bug Drop! A friend of mine traveled to Australia from the USA and dropped a few travel bugs for me! Wish I had been there!!
Last find of the day, just down the road from where we're staying. My daughter found this one, and was so excited. We took the Mr Potato Head TB. Thanks for the cache.
Lovely spot. Busy area but cache hidden well away from muggle play. Took bouncey ball and left TB4. TFTC
