We found this cache on yet another twilight caching mission. This was quite an easy one, in a great location. Thanks for bringing me to a place that Ive never been before! TFTC Cached/CachedScout!
Nice hill to walk up good heart starter . Took a replacement log up with us so this one is all fine again. TFTC
Thank you, I always wanted to come to this place. Your cache was the tipping stoneGood hiding place!
In Tassie for the next few months. So many great places to visit and so many different caches to find.Picking up a few hides before attending the events nearby this morning. A quick find at GZ but as previous cacher has indicated a new container and log were replaced for next finders.Thanks Cached for placing the cache and doing the maintenance needed, so we can find this cache.
Checked this cache as I was in the area today and it needs attention. The container top and bottom nolonger stay joined and the contents are damp, broken and mouldy. There is a small log strip that is dry but names have run when it has been wet. The cache needs a new container and contents.
A trip up north again for 3 days, targeting 25 Solved Puzzles and "Old Gentleman" Caches.Trads / Multis and others with high Fave points / High Difficulty Star ratings also.On my last day of my 3-Day Caching Adventure up in clean and pretty, Ulverstone, i made this one the first for the day.Parked at the end of the dirt road of Hall St. The walk upstairs... a lot, was a shorter distance than i thought it would be and thank God for that coz i was puffing a bit at the top near GZ 
I initially wandered over to some trees and sword grass some 10m away but then the hint was obeyed and i found myself with CIH at 08:44.The log book was a mess... wet through, but thankfully there was a "Rite in the RAIN" waterproof strip of paper (log sheet) in the cache so i wiped the moisture off it and simply signed my name 
at 08:45 on TGIF 3 November 2023, sweet as bro!Returned the cool 3D Printer made container and was on my way... 'Down' the stairs

Found the cache, was real wet. Couldn't sign log due to disintegration issues. Does need a bit of maintenance. Nice little spot fir a short walk. Never would have found area if not for geo cache. Thanks for the fun!
We found it next to the purple note pad! It was under a tree bit. First time Geocaching!! First find very exciting it is in a black circular box!!
Found it under the purple paper! We where searching for a bit but found it in a black box!
Cache found, but quite weather damaged as container was not shut properly. Found purple notepad on ground nearby but unable to sign as wet. Could not replace notepad as no paper with us, but we live nearby so can swing back and fix up if needed. TFTC
Thanks for the cache Cached & CachedScout.
In the northwest for a few days with the two GeoGSP's.
Enjoyed the walk in this area, the two GeoGSP's had a good old sniff.
Made our way to GZ where a quick find was made.

Great little walk for a nice cache, upon first glance I was stumped on how to open looking for a trick of sorts before taking upon it with brute force for easy entry. Tftc
After walking the wrong we found the 133 steps to the junction. It was THEN that it was an easy find. With GeoMaggie2 thanks to TasCoder for the new log and lovely container.
After going wrong. Right track 133 stairs found it . Thanks Tassie coders is for the new log and cache
A nice drizzly day called for a bush walk. We were greeted with a lot of stairs, but they were not slippery at all. Unfortunately no echidnas ventured out to great us.
The container was an easy find & despite the huge downpour we had yesterday and the missing lid, the cache was only damp. We had a replacement container with us, so swapped out broken one.

Lovely reserve and another new part of town for me. Didn’t see any echidnas but they were Wallabies everywhere. Good little climb and found the cache where it should’ve been. The lid is missing but the contents were still dry. I’ve tucked it down as best I could to avoid it getting wet but it will need replacing. TFTC
Looks like this one has been muggled found the container in some.bushes and the.log book further along the path,
Moved them back to where I assume they were originally.

A window of opportunity today in our busy retirement schedule, even though the weather was rather inclement. But that meant we had the whole circuit unmuggled for our series of logs today. So we are cleaning up some of the Solving Puzzles Series and the S.P.Extras series as well on the western side of the estuary. Took a little break from the puzzle series to take a look at the Reed St Reserve where a dedicated band of "friends" are doing a sterling job of rehabilitation and care for this local bush reserve. Cache was exposed and getting full of H2O. No lid on the container anymore. Rehid with much improved camouglaging with sticks and bark etc. TFTC Hope it continues to survive unmolested.
Initially my GPS wanted me to access private property but later I found the appropriate entrance to access this cache. Thank you for placing and maintaining the cache for for our enjoyment.
contents are all very wet and dirty, broken lid on the cache tooHello Cached thank you for the cache
Found a little away from GZ after finding another cache nearby.
Today was the sixth day of a road trip with EeePees and a nice sunny day it was.

Thanks for the cache, Cached & CachedScout - we didn't approach this from the stairs, and so we walked past GZ as our GPSrs wanted to take us 10 or so metres up further this morning. Upon reading the hint, we followed our geosenses to a quick find.
Cheers, EPs.
Found with AlbyDangles on Day Six (our last day) of the 'Bust' leg of our "Kempsey Or Bust" tour; as Covid-19 cancelled the Kempsey Mega event this weekend.
Today we're concentrating on West Ulverstone, then across to Devonport for 3 particularly recommended to us, plus the Ad Lab if we get time before needing to head home.

Parked at the bottom and made the nice walk up the stairs to this one, cache was easily found and is all good
Today around lunch time I made the decision to head to the North west to find a few caches and clean up a lot of the new puzzles around the area.
With the rain looming it seemed to hold off for the remainder of the day.
Overall 42 caches found and 3 DNFs.

Our last day in northern Tassie we cached along the coast east from Goat Island to Don. We found a great variety of caches, learnt about the history of the area and enjoyed the brilliant coastal views while managing to dodge the showers. Sadly no sign of echidnas today.
**FEEDBACK TO CO:** This cache is calling out for a fresh log and some geocaching ID please.
Satellites today had our GZ 11 metres north of where we found the cache.
Thanks to 'Cached' for placing this cache on the geo-gameboard.

Found tonight whilst attempting other caches in the area. Cache was easily found as it was not covered. Signed log and re-hid with better camouflage. TFTC
We are on vacation in Australia and of course we seek some caches.
Thanks for this one!
Greetings from the Dutch.

Tassie Trip Day - 21 well this is our last day at our Ulverston camp tomorrow we move just up the coast to Burnie and as such we cleared out most of the remaining ones in town before doing an afternoon drive around some more of the area in the hills.
After parking and negociating the steep set of steps (50 51 52 shit lost count) up and up we went top step and up we went even further there was something over there, hey, thats it, log signed and container returned to it place.
Thanks Cached & CachedScout for showing us this location however the actual coordinates are a little off but the hint was perfect for finding the cache.

Logbook mouldy and GZ about 10m out according to both phones, but easy find in obvious spot. TFTC
