The Gardens The Gardens, Tasmania, Australia
By sirius Tas on 28-Aug-07. Waypoint GA0840

had to backtrack 3 km's after we had got to the next one, and realised this one was still waiting. Got to within 4 metres and soon enough had a cache in hand from amongst the rapidly growing coastal wattles. All in good nick here Sirius 'ol son. TFTC.

Stopped by this cache while on the way to the caches at the end of gardens rd. Luckily there wasn’t many people around so it made the search easier. After signing the log I took in the view of the area. TFTC

A day off and decided to escape to NE Tasmania and then on to my parents to catch up with them after returning from the mainland
I came to this location looking for an earth cache and decided I should check for GCA caches and found three to find

This very old cache is in perfect condition

Hello sirius Tas thank you for the cache.

I found this one with EeePees and Lil Rafa

TFTC

Thanks for the cache siriusTas; found with AlbyDangles and Lil Rafa.
After a big day geocaching yesterday in and around Swansea, then up to St Helens for more caching by moonlight; and an overnight stay.
Glad we have this lovely part of the world to ourselves here this morning.
My first visit out to the The Gardens!
AlbyDangles must have almost trodden on the cache, but dismissed the area and moved on - or maybe he was just being polite and letting me find it. (I think not the latter!).
Cache was holding a little water, which we drained, but sorry, nothing to dry it out completely. Logbook inside the bag was all good though.
Thanks for bringing me here - how good is Tassie?!

Found with EeePees and AlbyDangles on a short weekend visit to the East Coast. Never been to the Gardens before, absolutely gorgeous. Thanks for bringing us here!

As we headed toward GZ a campervan was parked just above where the cache. Bugger! OK, we'll go to the end for a while and try again on the way back.
All clear on the return so Miss J and I went for a look, approaching GZ from below. It didn't take long to find it.
Thanks Sirius!

Quick find while on holidays in St Helens with family. TFTC

Away 3 night stay in St Helens with my craft friends.....well I could say more of a get away as Caching takes place as well. Had a day out exploring on my own for the day. Was happy with 18GC & 2GCA Finds & 1 DNF for the day and lots seen I was happy with the out come.
I haven't done many GCA caches so thought I would see what was out this way at the end if the road.

Soon had cache in hand. Old logs were very wet and rusty so I put in a new log
Thanks for the hide

A quick find but it took awhile to wedge back in. No one around today - too cold. Thanks for the new log book. Great area TFTC

Found this one on our detour to Burnie. Log book very wet so added a new ziplock bag with a new log sheet.

A beautiful spot and a quick find. Cache was full of water but we still managed to sign the log. TFTC
Cheers,

Returned to the Gardens this evening to find a couple of GA caches in the area.
Quick find.
The container was full of water, and the log is very damp.
I’ve e emptied the container, but the log will need replacing, unfortunately I had no cache gear with me, so couldn’t do anything with it.
I dud manage to sign the log though.

what a wonderful place, this is what caching is all about

with 2 campervans parked right at gz, sadly we had to leave this one for another day.

Wow, this cache has been a mite lonely. Last visited almost 2 years ago. Such a magical spot too. All still snug in it's hidey hole. Thanks for another reason to re-visit The Gardens Sirius - though we shouldn't really need one.

Fantastic coastal scenery and fiery rocks. Thanks for organising the cache. We have been so spoilt for fabulous views this trip. TNLNSL. TFTC.

We went the long way round to find this one when we'd almost parked next to it. A beautiful afternoon after a drizzly morning, photos attached. TFTC

Another great spot at the Bay of Fires conservation park. Bright and sunny for the last day of winter. Emptied water from cache. Log still able to be signed. Many thanks sirius Tas for another nice hide

Wind was starting to pick up by the time I got to here but it was still a glorious East Coast day. Cache was uncovered when I found it and was wet. Dried it out as much as I could, thankfully log book was still dry. Signed the log and replaced the cache with a bit more cover this time. Thanks for the cache

Nice spot some muggle campers close by

Found with cached wackeys and Liz & Bruce.

We hadn't been to this part of the East Coast before and today must have been the best day to come - clear blue skies, warm weather and a gentle breeze. The views were spectacular. Accurate coordinates and a good hint resulted in a quick find. TFTC Sirius

Easy find what a great spot. Tipped out water log book dry. TFTC.

This cache gave a great view of the coast and the nearby colourful rocks. A quick find and log at 1503hrs. TFTC and cheers OldSaint.

Easy find today.

A quick find as the cache was fairly exposed. Covered with some extra rocks. Hopefully it will be safe now. Contents damp except the new log which is still dry. Thanks for bringing us up here. Can't remember having ever been this far up before.

Huge thank you to flange_1&tribe for replacing logbook & ziploc....very much appreciated indeed. I owe you guys one...Cheers.

Found this one no probs
Cache was sitting out in the open and open
Log was so wet that we couldn't sign it so we replaced with new log book and plastic bag
Replaced cache in hidey hole and headed the back tracks to blue heelers point

We did the whole day for this find - packed the barbie, wetsuits snorkels, masks, kids etc etc. Bit of a windy day but out of the wind don on the beach all ok. Found the cache before we set up camp (priorities!). TFTC.

I haven't driven all the way up here for years and I wasn't sure if I'd do the drive just for a cache cause I remember how awful the road was in places. I was pleasantly surprised to find the road had been sealed the whole way up! As luck would have it, every single parking space on the way up had a car or two parked in it, except for this one! Thanks sirius, a beaut spot.

Nice spot even on a windy day. Lots of kelp around the shore I expect blown up by the wind.
Thanks Sirius Tas

what a beautiful area. thanks for the cache. took tape , left eraser

Wonderful spot - could have spent a lot of time here just soaking up the tranquility, but no, there are caches to be found...

What a magic place. I have never been here before and I stayed for ages.
I had the best weather it was warm and still and as much as I don't like sand that water was impossible to resist. I thought I was alone and the man collecting seaweed was equally shocked when we bumped into each other. I don't think what either of us was doing was technically legal.
Huge thanks for an awesome cache sirius

It was quite windy and wet here this afternoon, but as I signed the logbook I saw 2 rainbows.....very impressive.

It's a beautiful part of the world here, even with the weather like this!


Thanks for the cache!

Found before dawn so didnt get the benefit of the views.
Cache in top nick and should be a stayer as muggles unlikely to find.
Thanks Sirius.

Found after running out of road and backtracking. Easy find but weather was foul - raining, windy and low cloud cover. Found by me with RomanSwamp and JohnnyBoy tagging along.
TNLN thanks siriusTas

A very windy day with showers and hail experienced. Found after work and about time I got another FTF. Thanks Sirius Tas for a cache in beautiful spot and not making it too hard to find.
