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.

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 Smile

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 [^]

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.
 
04-Feb-12
Best yet. Swapped a toy.
 
08-Jan-12
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.

Very Happy

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.

Park to ourselves, nice peaceful quest.
Took BB key tag, left piper.

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!

Didn't like the hill. Plenty of ducks around.

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

Quick find on the last day of 2010. Lovely Spot. TNLN TFTC
 
22-Dec-10
great place for a visit, picnic and walk around the lake, a steep walk up to cache great hide,

Found it but not sure when.
 
28-Oct-10
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

TFTC

Nice easy find without a GPS. Very pleasant walk
 
04-Jul-10
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.

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
