Its a futile quest but if you dont try it has zero chance.We had a lovely day walking the reserves with splendid weather and a tasty picnic lunch.Last one in this series for us. TFTC

TftcBack in Devonport for a few weeks, looking after grandchildren. A great opportunity to go on adventure each day.Having a few days break in Port Sorrell, so picking up a few in the area. A nice walk around this reserve area and found after a short search at GZ.Thanks Spreyton22 for placing the cache and doing the maintenance needed, so we can find this cache.

Another quick find. During the walk I didn't see any wildlife of the hopping variety but there was plenty of evidence that they were about.
Making the weekend a 5-day weekend it's nice to get outside and find some caches on such a nice day. All caches in this area were easy to find a good area for people that are starting off with caching as most of them are on the larger size.
Thanks, Spreyton 22 for placing their caches for our enjoyment,
This cache was an Easy find that I covered it up better.

Camped in Deloraine today , off to Port Sorell for a few caches I missed on the last trip and any new ones which have gone down. TFTC
While out and about today with whitewebbs we found a few caches on the way and this was one of them.
A nice series, now we have completed this series so far. A nice walk through the reserve. Cache and contents were in good condition.

Out and about with Tassie Trekkers collecting new caches that have appeared since our last visit to this area. A great day to be out and about. Happy Easter. TFTC
Thanks for the cache Spreyton22.
RLD4963, the two GeoGSP's and I were visiting Port Sorell for a few days r&r. The last time we visited this reserve there were maybe seven or eight, and within a month of returning home a whole bunch of new ones popped up. So off we trotted around the reserve today. It was a lovely sunny afternoon, and we did speak to a horse rider who spotted two snakes, but we kept our eyes out and saw none.
These were all nice straightforward finds - thank you.

Out and about caching with all the Rafas for our holidays TFTC TNLN log dry, an easy find at GZ.
The focus for our cache hunt for today was the last cache we had to find in the Hawley Nature Reserve. Previous visits to the area enabled us to choose the shortest walk on this quite warm day. Accurate coordinates and the hint led to a quick find. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks Spreyton22 for all the caches you have placed in this Reserve and for your recent maintenance - greatly appreciated.
Unfortunately, this is now within 161 metres of GC8K5CT Hawley Nature Reserve #5, so that proximity conflict will need to be resolved.

A quick ride from camp [before the rain starts again!] to grab the 4 caches that we are yet to find in the reserve.
This was the last found on a circuit of the reserve.
Thanks Spreyton22.

We thoroughly enjoyed the walk around this reserve. The coordinates were all accurate and the caches quite easy to find. However at least six of the caches had fallen from their hiding place or their camouflage had fallen away. One even had a few chew marks in it from some wild beast. We covered the caches with fresh camouflage where necessary.
Thanks for this series.
Thanks for this series.
Needed to cache today just because we can ! Bit cool 9 degrees at 10.30am, but by then we had earned coffees at the Rocky Gardens Cafe in Shearwater. Found this one with a quick turnaround and two others we needed to log in order to complete the Hawley Reserve lot.
Thanks Mr Smith for this and all the others in the neighbourhood.

Hi Spreyton22....needed a cache or two for my calendar fill in so thought I best round up the remaining caches in the reserve before the wet weather sets in.
Arrived early to find all the 5 remaining caches which were all in top condition.
Many thanks for placing these caches for us all to enjoy....much appreciated...cheers ST.

Spending the day geocaching in the North and North West collecting as many yet to be found caches along the ways practical.
We consciously saved the Hawley Reserve until after lunch and given it was a late lunch it was late afternoon by the time we got started. What a great reserve it is and we really enjoyed the walk. We ended up with 12/15 caches and we believe the three caches we didn’t get have succumbed to back burning . It certainly appears that very very recently there has been spot back burning throughout the reserve. The three gzs were we didn’t find the caches were very burnt and we found remnants of the caches at a couple of sites. Overall we really enjoyed this series and appreciate you creating and maintaining it. We have given one favourite point for the whole series.

That was the last cacheof the new additions thoroughly enjoyed the walk through this area. Completed with Bonnie Maggie and Angus 88
The last one of the new additions to this circuit walk around a lovely bushland. Thank you to Spreyton32 for filling in the gaps. Found with GeoMaggie2, 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.
