What a glorious day to come up here to find this one. Would have continued on to the others along here but we werent sure how accesible they are. TFTC nice sneaky hide here TFTC
Luckily it was NOT this (not-micro but very cache-esque) container. treacherously perched under bushes overhanging the cliff!
A trip to Devonport with Goose as we both had a day off. I certainly needed a break as I hadnt really had a day away just caching for a little while. Great day, with the odd shower, but I managed to find quite a few caches as well as get two FTF's which is unusual for me to get even one. The highlight of the day would probably be the FTF on the Hancock clan's cache on the midlands highway. A very cool cache.Thanks for the cacheAlmost forgot to log this cacheA tricky hide, I was looking at the wrong fence!!
Well that hill gave us a bit of a workout! We were focused in a different area for a while, as others have been by the looks of it. After widening our search we spotted something and I thought it was the remnants of a missing cache, but no it was the real thing nicely disguised.Thanks HappyWandrian
enjoyed the walk up to this hide. We met some muggles along the way who assured us the view was worth the few spits of rain and they were not wrong. cache and contents all in excellent dry condition.
Found with The X-Trailers after walking along the coast on the rocks
A quick find but unable to go further along track as fenced off
Cache all ok. TFTC

A nice hide near the start of a fantastic circular walk today. With a low tide we were able to traverse the rock platform all the way as well as enjoying the cliff top path in the other direction. TFTC

This has got to be one of my fav little series ever! An awesome little track that I had no idea existed. Tftc. A great find with geodog and fam.
Thanks for the cache HappyWandrian.
Visiting the northwest coast for a few days with the two GeoGSP's.
Today we were heading back home, but the weather was spectacular so I was keen to take the dogs for a walk on Don Heads. I wasn't sure how many caches we would get to, but ideally we would do a loop and find all the caches.
This was our first stop, and it was successful - a quick find at GZ.

The views are a bit overgrown at the moment. Amazing how high the penguins walk up this hill

A nice easy find up a steeper hill than originally expected. Thanks for the workout
Well hidden cache, clever! We tried to put it back as we found it. Off to good start this year

TFTCI have updated the cache to a bison due to the 1 litre container going missing twice mow. Everything else stays the same.
Actually got a bit sun burnt walking out here today. First bit of actual sun in months. Enjoying life post exams out exploring the coast line. Thanks
Have been up and replaced the cache container (last one has been removed) 13.9.21 happy hunting.
I do dislike having to walk up steep hills but the view from the top was worth it! TFTC
Found this today as d enjoyed a lovely walk at the same time. Thanks Happy Wandrian
Out and about caching with Tassie Trekkers in the area and this was one that we found. An absolutely glorious day to be out caching and wonderful views along the way.. TFTC
Hi rhubarbroad....been caching today for about 4 hrs now...a bit tired...the last cache for the day but looking forward to completing the rest down into the cove.
The coastal wattle is doing its best to reclaim the track...amazing growth this summer.
Just wished those walking in could just bend and snap a few branches on the way through instead of leaving the task to some other poor sod.
The cache was quickly found ..lovely view from up here
All caches found today in top nick.
Many tftc...much appreciated...cheers ST.

On a nice sunny day we walked in as a family as it is something I have wanted to do for years but having caches to find put it high on my list.
On arrival the beach the tide was out so it wasn't like I remembered it to be when I walked in with my boyfriend as a teen. So I strongly advise to check the tied before you go as it would be Paradise Beach. Be sure to check out the Sea falls cache as its in a good area.
Very easy cache to find. left pencil in the last cache and no pen found in the children's school bag but they did have lip gloss so signed with that!!
Make sure you take your Own Pen I was lucky one of the caches had one as Half way in I thought oh no I forgot a pen.
Thanks Happy Wandrian for placing these caches

A great day to make the wander up to this cache for an easy find from accurate coords. It was also well worth a little more effort to find the best vantage point to to view the head from above.
TFTC HappyWandrian.
Cache and contents found and returned in good condition.
I included a pic of my head spoiling the view of Don's.

A bit of a climb after Goat Island but worth it for the great view from up here. dalerious e joyed looking down on the basalt outcrop he had just been sitting on top of.
Thanks for placing it here for the view.

After attending The Celebrating Tasmania's Caching Pioneers event we continued caching in the area and found your cache along the way.
Cache and contents were in good condition, but very windy today.
Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.

When we first started caching we walked to Paradise Cove and got the caches there and along the way. They have all gone now but this new series of caches has been on our 'to do' list for quite a while now.
Today seemed like a good day for this walk and the initial walk up the hill to GZ was made easy by some over enthusiastic dogs who virtually dragged us up the hill.
This first one was found by our grandson who was impressed to see that it had been placed on his birth date!!
Thanks.

With GeoMaggie. Found, stamped and replaced, with Maggie and Mollie, my GeoWesties, while roaming around Tasmania with our motorhome “Mylittlebus” looking for content for our TASMANIA ALL OVER facebook. Join us there. Thanks for placing this cache (and others), keeping us on our exploring toes.

Parked as recommended and made our way up the hill. While my associate was looking on one side of the track, I found it on the other side!
Cheers, EPs.
Found with AlbyDangles on Day Three of the 'Bust' leg of our "Kempsey Or Bust" tour; as Covid-19 cancelled the Kempsey Mega event this weekend. Headed towards Latrobe today to attend a couple of events, and to find whatever along the way.

Took off for these new caches, an enjoyable walk despite the 100km/h winds that almost blew me over. Nice and easy find here
Today I set off for a half day trip to Devonport to clean up the rest of what I had left to find plus the new lot of caches that had popped up in the last week. Also managed to grab an FTF along the way too. All up a total of 21 finds and 2 DNFs for the few hours.

We had set ourselves a target of trying to find all caches close to home before leaving for the mainland at the weekend. So, this morning our focus was on the Don Head.
When we arrived we saw a very distinctive Colorado 4WD and soon saw SiriusTas in the distance, with another person, fishing on the rocks near the sea stack. It has been ages since we last went up this track to walk around the heads and it brought back some pleasant memories and also memories of a local farmer who fenced things off, claiming the coastal reserve strip at his own. Thankfully Parks and wildlife set him straight on that issue and access was restored for the public.
After a short uphill walk we got to GZ. We searched the obvious spots first and then realised that the hint applied to a nearby area as well. The cache was soon in hand. the cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks HappyWandrian for the cache in a lovely and scenic area.

Nice to see a couple of newies turn up close to home. Three ships moored out the front waiting for the regatta to finish up, I guess. Also Julie Burgess under sail on a calm sea, and a guy in a kayak fishing off Paradise Cove. Tftc HappyWandarin.
{FTF} found on my way home from our puzzle solving session.
Thanks for the hide Happy Wandarin. I used to come up here lots when I was a kid with my dad but haven’t done it for years. Nice to have a reason to visit again.
