This cache seemed familiar and sure enough we noticed we'd signed the logbook back in May but forgot to log it. It's not the first time and I wonder how many other caches we've forgot to log in the past! A nice walk nonetheless. TFTC!
Cheers,

Was a beautiful winter afternoon and we joined a large group walking these tracks. Fortunately There were no muggles in this area and we were able to make a quick find of a well hidden cache. The coordinates were good and the container and contents were in good condition.

Thanks for this cache Diadem and Taurus Six. The views from this spot are superb and the hide fits in to its surroundings very well. We were interested to see that we were the second team to visit this cache today.

In the Geilston Bay area today picking up some caches. Made the walk down to Bedlam Caves and then were on our way to Shag Bay. Stopped in to get this one, which was easily found. TFTC

While caching in the area we picked your cache along the way. Great views of the bridge and surrounds, a great sunny day out.

Cache and contents were in good condition.

Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.

While having a cheaky day off college to help mum for a day i decided to go for a stroll and collect some caches that weren't here last time I came past. After reading the hint and arriving near the GZ I though great thousands of rock this could awhile. But after finding a lot of "under rock" hides I have a pretty good idea what to look out for. Sure enough the cache was soon in hand. Thanks for the cache.

We were here a few weeks ago but we are back today to clean up the area, we even left GCA FTF chances last time as we didnt want to be gready and left some for others, but today we were not leaving until we had got um all Smile

Thanks for the cache.

I am back to weekly caching now and apart from long walks almost back to normal, one thing that hasn't changed it my late logs, sorry about that.

Thanks for the cache.

We'd been looking for a way to the cave as I remembered the there was a nice track and it was well signposted but have never visited before. We gave up!
As we approached this cache, the rat went off to read a warning sign so I made a quick find here while he did that.
Thanks Diadem

hi Diadem and TaurusSix, thanks for the cache. I've never walked this track nor been to Shag Bay, so thanks for providing some impetus. It's a great afternoon for a walk, not too hot and not too sunny, and this was a nice shady spot to stop and search, with a quick find.
I'd been to the magnificent Hobart Town Hall to watch/hear my uncle play on the Steinway Grand Piano a little earlier. At late notice, I ended up turning today into and R&R day, and so I've time to find a few geocaches this afternoon.
Thanks for bringing me here.
Cheers, EPs.

Thanks for the cache Diadem and Taurus Six.
Headed out for a late afternoon walk with the GeoGSP today - after all the rain bands had passed, and the humidity had decreased a little bit.
Always lots of people walking along this track and today was no exception. Had to do a bit of backtracking to avoid some muggles to search for this one, but it was a nice quick find at GZ.

Found it at 15:20. Took a toy, left a Varnish Gold. TFTC

In the area today doing the twelve new GCA caches and stopped to locate this new cache. It was a lovely day to be out caching. TFTC

Love the walk around to shag bay from the car park. Arrived early enough that the car park was full, although when I returned from the walk the car park was full and cars were parking everywhere.

Spotted a Mountain dragon (well I think it is a mountain dragon) close to the GZ. Photo attached.

Thank you for the cache. Highly recommend the Burke and wills GCA cache in the area

Hi Diadem & Taurus Six, what a brilliant day for a wander to your new caches on and near Shag Bay. A glorious walk along a lovely trail with the sun, spectacular views, glistening water and both the bridges providing some scale to the outlook. Just gorgeous in the Bay and a lovely walk along past your other two caches which I have found recently. Naturally all good with both hides.

FTF 7.15am
Saw this one published last night and as we were at Geo-daughter's house relatively near-by contemplated a walk but as the birthday celebrations for our grandson were in full swing the idea was quickly dismissed. Woke up early today and decided that it was a good morning stroll so set off in cool but pleasant weather. A very enjoyable stroll past the Geilston Bay boats to the Derwent and round to the cache. Followed the GPS to GZ and immediately spotted the likely hide. Cache found and log book empty so very happy to claim the FTF.
