After apparent changes to property access in the area of Don heads to Paradise Cove, we have decided to archive our only cache in the affected area. Our advice to would be loggers of any other caches still showing up in the affected area is not to trespass on well signed private property.
Access along walking trail has been permanently closed by the landowner.
Looking at the LIST maps it appears the trail is in fact on private property, as are some of the caches.
These caches will need to be archived.
Maybe worth while contacting the Council, though doubt anything can be done.
Find attached photos.

Found it about 20 metres down the embankment away from ground zero, we relocated it to the most obvious place at ground zero. TFTC
A wonderful old tree and one of several caches found on a lovely walk in the area today. TFTC!

Walking the Don Heads track today. Very breezy in places but a great walk. Easy find and no Calyptorhynchus funereus today.
An awesome little find on a cool track I never knew excisted. Geodog actually found this before me as my gps went awol. Tftc Rubarbroad!
Thanks for the cache rhubarbroad.
Visiting the northwest coast for a few days with the two GeoGSP's.
This was our fifth day of our trip, and today we were heading home. After completing a loop to find all the caches on Dons Head, this was our last find for our trip. Today the weather was fantastic and it was great to complete a loop and find all the caches in the area. A quick find at GZ to complete our trip.

Quick find out exploring the area with my dog. Listening to a book and soaking up the sun after my exams this week. Tftc
Great hiding spot. Loved finding this one. Thanks rhubarbroad for this great geocache
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
Out and about caching with whitewebbs on a nice autumn day and found your cache along the way. This was a great walk along the cliff, great views were had and with no wind the sea was like a milk pond, wow well worth the walk.
Cache and contents were in good condition.
Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.

Was great to see little bits and bobs in it! Great cache spot! Grass was quite long to get to it.
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 find
Thanks Rhubarbroad for placing this cache

Today Mrs Beetle, my muggle daughter and grandson and four dogs headed off to walk to Paradise Cove to get the caches placed there since our last walk here many, many years ago.
A quick find was made here and it was fairly obvious where it was going to be on approach.
Did have to google the clue as had no idea what the CO was talking about.
Lots of other muggles were doing the same walk today but we managed to get all the caches without them being in the way.
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.

Thanks for the cache rhubarbroad,
I couldn't find this one on our first pass, but AlbyDangles made a very quick find on our way back. I couldn't believe that I'd missed it. I now have my head hung in shame.
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.

Thank you rhubarbroad this GZ it will encourage others to continue on to Paradise Cove GZ. Beautiful day today for a walk across the heads with a nice breeze blowing off the sea. TFTC
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. After finding Don Heads View, we continued westwards towards this cache. As we neared and finally got to GZ, we realised that we had visited this exact spot early in our caching career. Although the logbook was new (and was "branded" as being placed by rhubarbroad) some of the contents of the container appeared to have been around for some time. However given the pristine logbook, signed and dated 2020 by the CO, and finding nothing else around, we are claiming this find and as the logbook was blank, we will claim {FTF} at 9:27am. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks rhubarbroad for the cache and for bringing us back to this spot of Ancient Origins. The views as you walk to this hide are wonderful.
