A Perfect View Howrah, Tasmania, Australia
By gooseandegg on 04-Jul-17. Waypoint GA10384

When this cache was chosen I didn't really understand what I needed to do at WP1 but it all made sense once I was standing in front of the sign.
Then it was off to GZ where the cache name didn't make sense either!!!!
It was also muggle central here today at 5pm and getting a chance to have a good look was nigh impossible. Despite that excuse this one took way longer to find than it should have and was where we expected it to be all along.
Thanks.

Found on a caching trip to Hobart - a straight forward multi which deivered outstanding views (not)

out and about with 2 Rafa caching for the summer GCA game, the multi was one that helped get to the destination, TFTC TNLN log dry, a warm cloudy day. the tree has grown up to block the view.?

We enjoyed this multi. TFTC

Noice
And for once, I spotted the cache straight away, and had no muggle problems.
Well designed and clever GZ - cheers

Was after a cache with a 'View' for the States of the Nation summer game and this one was a candidate. Today was the end of the working year for me, and with some extra daylight after work, I grabbed the GeoGSP and my son home from Uni for the holidays, and headed out. After collecting the required information at WP1 we were soon off to GZ......very funny, knew where we were headed as we approached. Very few muggles about surprisingly so was able to retrieve the cache, sign the log and return everything in short time. thanks for the cache gooseandegg.

Hilarious location

I assume you have a contact in the council to place this just right for you and this cache.

Well I was going to save this cache for a day when I needed to find one but today with the weather being so nice, sun out and no rain and felt the need to find a cache.

So when out doing other things I called in collected the needed information and within no time at all have the final location worked out.
Mrs SSRat and I got near to ground zero and she said well its going to be there since that fits the name of the cache, while we searched we made some comments about the paramecium brained Clarence council workers and this filled our time while we searched.
Found it at long last and gladly added our names to the few other on the log, cache in good condition and ready for the next finder.

Thanks for the cache

Hello gooseandegg thanks for the cache.

After finding you other nearby cache I wounded weather to drive or walk to this cache not knowing where the final GZ would be and as you know I do like a walk. No I drove here, been lazy today.
At GZ I had a look at the listing and the sign and after a quick count worked out what information I needed and how to get the cords for the final GZ.
After going back to the car and working out where GZ was I was a little puzzled and thought I had it wrong so I worked it ALL out again and got the same answer.
Now the question is do I drive to GZ or do I walk? Well as I have been lazy already I thought I would continue to be lazy and I drove.
I left the car at a parking spot near GZ and walked the final bit and once GZ I thought this IS the right spot and I can see why you named the cache what you did “It is a perfect view”.
Before I left the sign to drive to the final GZ I had miss read the hint, and now at the search location I was searching in the wrong thing. At one time I looked up and saw three different muggles in three different locations standing still looking at me, and then I realised how strange I must have looked from where they were looking. A man squatting under a bush I’m surprised the police didn’t come and arrest me. Any way I sat out in the open for a while and let everyone leave and re reread the hint and thought I know where it is and headed back in and out, signed the log and back in and out without been seen this time.

We had planned one caching trip to Hobart and the Eastern Shore during The Christmas in July game. The ground kept shifting as new Trophy challenges were added so we needed to add more GA caches to out to find list. Not only did we need cache finds for Christmas in July, we needed a cache for a Frigid Solstice, 10 GA Dragon Zone caches for the 12th for the find 25 caches on each day of the month as well as 13 moveables that we need to move between 250 and 500km and a cache in the Sorell council area, we had found caches in Sorell before Dragon Zone but needed one after April 2014. Of course there were also unfound GC caches in the areas we were going to visit. All this meant our to find list was quite long and we were unlikely to manage to knock them all off today. We also needed a day that the weather Bureau forecast predicted would be mainly fine. July 12 looked like it.

We usually leave home quite early however with the threat of ice on sections of the Bass and Midlands highways we decided to head off just before 7:00. We did have the added complication of dosing our daughters cat with its anti biotic pill. It only took one person to administer a pill to our last cat however daughter's cat, that is smaller definitely needs two people one to make sure the pill goes in and is swallowed and the second to firmly hold cat particularly her paws. After leaving our place we headed to daughter's abode where we were greeted by a nature strip strewn with her household garbage - today was bin day in her street. There was no bin in sight. It appeared that someone had tipped her bin out and stolen the bin. After dosing the cat we found a large bin bag, collected the scattered garbage and took it back to our place so that it could go out with ours tomorrow.

Off we headed again an hour later than we had intended. There was little likelihood of ice on the roads at this time even though there was quite thick frost on the road edges at Latrobe, Deloraine and Westbury. We turned off the Midlands Highway on to the Mud Walls Road and headed through Colebrook and Campania then on to Sorell and Midway Point. This was the eleventh cache on our list.

All was quiet when we pulled up at WP 1. The data needed to calculate the final coordinates was soon obtained and it was off on the hunt. We had to laugh when we saw the object at GZ - did someone get it wrong and fix it the wrong way round or have the bushes just grown and obscured the view? The cache was located relatively quickly considering we had been having trouble locating these on the Tangara Trail earlier today. Container and contents were in excellent condition. We didn't have to wait for muggles but as soon as we had replaced the cache they appeared from all directions, from the track to the beach, from behind us, on bikes, scooters and skate boards.

Thanks for the nice little multi cache Gooseandegg we did enjoy a giggle over the name.

That’s just so funny – well it had me laughing. Did the council worker have a great sense of the ridiculous or have things changed since the object was placed there – I guess it was the later. Whenever we find caches near these objects it always reminds us of one of our favourite series from the north ‘The Weary Traveller’. Thanks, Gooseandegg, for a cache that ‘made our day.’

Hi gooseandegg
After loosing another friend to that insidious disease cancer yesterday, today I needed to get out and hunt plastic, as my head was swimming - too much thinking!!!
The car park was full and the views here were PERFECT - NOT!! Thanks for the cache "Oscar Wilde."
Started by driving from Huonville to WP1 for GA10384 where it took a few minutes to work out how to use the info. Once tabulated correctly, calculations for GZ were made and I started my walk toward the cache.
Muggles everywhere!!!
Cyclists, walkers, flea bags and their masters and even strange animals made the find and replacement a little difficult but very interesting.
The cache was Sainted at 1102hrs.
From here, it was back to the car and off to Cape Deslacs.
These two caches had me walk some 2.21kms requiring 3020 steps.
Total km covered today was 6.99km which had me use 9335 steps using 1629cals.
TFTC and cheers
OldSaint.
