The Casket Rosny, Tasmania, Australia
By Oldsaint on 20-Sep-17. Waypoint GA10772

After a bright and early start to have an onslaught on some southern caches we left well before daylight negotiating the fog, icy conditions and the odd slow driver to make our way to sorell after grabbing some caches there we made our way down towards Port Arthur to find most of the caches in the area, the view from the Eaglehawk lookout was brilliant. Met up with Oldsaint near the golf course where he needed assistance to turn the hazards off on his Ranger. At the second last cache in the area we meet up with Goose and Stainless Steel Rat, after a catch up and discussing some caching we headed off for seven mile beach where we located all but one of the caches we had targeted in the area.
then continued onwards to Sanford to find the rest of Whitewebbs MMMM games caches and a few others that were close by. Needing to be in New Town at 5 to pick up a heater we stopped in at Rosny Hill to grab the caches there to fill in some time, all were located and solved. After loading the heater onto my ute we decided that was enough caching for the day and headed back north arriving home around 10pm.

Arrived the parking area of this area, didnt realise there was a track so went bush basing from above. quickly found the container, after trying a few things we soon had it open and added our names to the logbook. TFTC

As our onslaught on the south begins, we started early from the north and made our way south for the day. Great day for caching in Tasmania.
Rosny Hill came up trumps with a handful of finds today on our way headed for home.
This gadget cache was straight forward to open once I applied a little logic to the possibility how to open it.

Hoping to collect some ammunition for the Battleships Game we headed out today to reload our cannon in preparation for firing.

Many thanks OldSaint for placing this gadget cache and adding to our geocaching experience today.

Didn't take long to access the log, cache and contents in good condition.

Hi OldSaint.....still shivering from the early and frosty start down south.
Headed over the bank from the trig where the gpsr was going haywire.
The compass was going in all directions...but after doing half a dozen circles I spotted the very well hidden cache.
Everything was dry as a bone...exc condition.
Think the gadget has been opened that often that it self opened soon as I picked it up.
Many thanks for a very entertaining find...thoroughly enjoyed...cheers ST.

Walked in the Drizzle to this cache, and although it took me a while to find this cache, getting the log book was quick

Box (plural: boxes) describes a variety of containers and receptacles for permanent use as storage, or for temporary use, often for transporting contents.

Boxes may be made of durable materials such as wood or metal, or of corrugated fiberboard, paperboard, or other non-durable materials. The size may vary from very small (e.g., a matchbox) to the size of a large appliance. A corrugated box is a very common shipping container. When no specific shape is described, a box of rectangular cross-section with all sides flat may be expected, but a box may have a horizontal cross section that is square, elongated, round or oval; sloped or domed top surfaces, or vertical edges.They are not always made up of squares.

Decorative or storage boxes may be opened by raising, pulling, sliding or removing the lid, which may be hinged and/or fastened by a catch, clasp, or lock.

Packaging box

An empty box made of corrugated fiberboard

A corrugated folding box for pizza
Several types of boxes are used in packaging and storage.

A corrugated box is a shipping container made of corrugated fiberboard.[1] These are most commonly used to transport and warehouse products during distribution, and are rated according to the strength of the material or the capacity of the finished box.
A folding carton (sometimes called a box) is fabricated from paperboard. The paperboard is printed (if necessary), die-cut and scored to form a blank. These are transported and stored flat, and erected at the point of filling. These are used to package a wide range of goods, intended either for one-time (non-resealable) use or as a storage box for the remaining goods.
A type of the folding carton is the gift box, used for birthday or Christmas gifts and often wrapped in decorative wrapping paper; this type is usually of much lighter construction than a similar-sized paperboard box meant for packaging and distribution.
A "set up" box (or rigid paperboard box) is made of stiffer paperboard, permanently glued together with paper skins that can be printed or colored. Unlike folding cartons, these are assembled at the point of manufacture and transported already "set-up". Set-up boxes are more expensive than folding boxes and are typically used for protecting high value items such as cosmetics, watches or smaller consumer electronics.
A crate is a heavy duty shipping container originally made of wood. Crates are distinct from wooden boxes, also used as heavy duty shipping containers. For a wooden container to be a crate, all six of its sides must be put in place to result in the rated strength of the container. The strength of a wooden box, on the other hand, is rated based on the weight it can carry before the top or opening is installed.
A variant of the wooden box is the wooden wine box or wine crate, originally used for shipping and storing expensive wines, but nowadays for decorative or promotional purposes or as a storage box instead of for protection during shipping.
A bulk box is a large box often used in industrial environments. It is sized to fit well on a pallet.
Depending on locale and specific usage, the terms carton and box are sometimes used interchangeably.

The invention of large steel intermodal shipping containers has helped advance the globalization of commerce.[2][3]

Storage boxes
See also: Decorative boxes

18th century German gold and mother of pearl snuffbox

Cake box
Boxes for storing various items in can often be very decorative, as they are intended for permanent use and sometimes are put on display in certain locations.

The following are some types of storage boxes :

A jewelry (AmE) or jewellery (BrE) box, is a box for trinkets or jewels. It can take a very modest form with paper covering and lining, covered in leather and lined with satin, or be larger and more highly decorated.
A humidor is a special box for storing cigars at the proper humidity, by means of absorbent materials that retain and moderate moisture coming from the cigars. Powered boxes can also maintain the right temperature.[citation needed]
A "strong box" or safe, is a secure lockable box for storing money or other valuable items. The term "strong box" is sometimes used for safes that are no longer portable boxes but are installed in a wall or floor for increased security.
A toolbox is used for carrying tools of various kinds. The term implies a container meant for portability rather than just storage, for instance with hinged lids, clasps or locks, reinforced corners, and handles. Toolboxes are usually very sturdy, but unlike a shipping box containing dunnage, are not expected to fully protect their contents if the box is inverted or upended.
The common storage box for tools, instruments, glassware, artworks, etc. is a sturdy box made to be longer-lasting and better-finished than a shipping box or crate. For instance, a box might be a rigid paperboard box instead of a corrugated box. Or it could be a wooden box with a sanded surface and mitered corners instead of a crude crate construction. A storage box may or may not have dunnage or cushions that protect the contents if the box is upended or shaken, and usually does not have hinges, latches or locks, but simply a cover. Boxwood gets its name from its superior properties for manufacturing this type of box, although those properties are equally useful when making a decorative box.
A boxfile is used commonly in offices for storing papers and smaller files.[4]
Electrical boxes
In electrical terminology, a "box" is used to contain and protect connections, thus:

Pattress, a box used to hold electrical switches and receptacles
Junction box, a fixed container for joining electrical connections, frequently installed in walls and containing electrical outlets.
Fuse box, holds electrical fuses or circuit breakers
Postal service boxes

Pillar box of 1856, at the West Gate, Warwick, England
Post box (British English and others, also written postbox), or mailbox (North American English and others) is a physical box used to collect mail that is to be sent to a destination. Variants of post boxes for outgoing mail include:
Lamp box
Ludlow wall box
Pillar box
Wall box
Boxes where postal workers deposit incoming mail for the recipient include:

Letter box (in the US usually called mailbox), positioned near or on the mail recipient's home or place of work.
Post office box, (often abbreviated P.O. box or PO box), a box rented by the mail recipient to be an independent postal address, located in a post office or in the premises of a company offering such facilities. Self-service boxes are unlocked by the recipient, otherwise a postal clerk retrieves the mail.
A relay box is similar to a post or mail box, but totally locked; post office trucks deposit mail that is then retrieved and delivered by pedestrian mail carriers. In the United States, they are painted differently from collection boxes.

In recent times they are mostly receptacles for trinkets and jewels, but in earlier periods, when other types of container were rarer, and the amount of documents held by the typical person far fewer, they were used for keeping important documents and many other purposes. It may take a very modest form, covered in leather and lined with satin, or it may reach the monumental proportions of the jewel cabinets which were made for Marie Antoinette, one of which is at Windsor, and another at Versailles. Both were the work of Schwerdfeger as cabinet maker, his assistants Michael Reyad, Mitchell Stevens, Christopher Visvis, Degault as miniature painter, and Thomire as chaser.

Caskets are often made in precious materials, such as gold, silver or ivory. In ancient East Asia, caskets often made in wood, china, or covered with silk. Some of these caskets could be collected as decorative boxes.

Some examples have remained unburied from the late Roman Empire. The 4th century Brescia Casket, 8th century Franks Casket and 10th-11th century Veroli Casket are all in elaborately carved ivory, a popular material for luxury boxes until recent centuries. Boxes that contain or contained relics are known as reliquaries, though not all were originally made for this purpose. The house-shaped chasse is a very common shape for reliquaries in the High Middle Ages, often in Limoges enamel, but some were also secular.

Came up to Rosny Hill after visiting MONA in the morning as it's a lovely little pocket of GCA caches. After finding the history cache and trig, I tried to decide which way to go to get to GZ. I started on a path but that didn't last long. I really didn't have the shoes on for this attempt, but push on we must. Eventually I zigged and zagged my way further down the hill and arrived at the spot. Container found easily but the opening part was still a little tricky. Thankfully aubeasty fiddled around enough to reveal the log. Sorry we missed you today at the event OldSaint, but I'll always remember that time on Rosny Hill when I found my first gadget cache.

After unsuccessfully trying to do a gadget cache in the north this morning I came south to attend an event and attempt a gadget cache here. I am not familiar with this park and so took a very different route to GZ. Luckily I have encountered one of these before so I just had to remember how to open it! It came to me after examining the gadget and it was easily opened

Having found LilRafa's cache at Roches Beach we headed back towards the city for lunch and to find a few caches on Rosny Hill. When we stopped for lunch and a cache we spotted Budgietas leaving a hiding spot we were about to visit. The high temperature was not keeping the local cachers inside.

After purchasing lunch we headed firstly to the local moveable drop off cavern where we found Okopipi then up to the car park where we headed to GZ for this cache.

Accurate coordinates soon had us with the outer cache container in hand. Inside we found a familiar little gadget and a quick flick soon produced the logbook. In the past we have found these gadgets that have been exposed to the elements and swollen when they got wet. This made it very hard to extract the log book without damaging the gadget. This cache should be well protected against water damage.

Thanks for this cache Old Saint and some useful scavenge points.

Thanks for this gadget cache OldSaint. Luckily for me, I've seen another one of these that might also belong to you not that far away. Didn't take me as long this time! This was a nice stop for the GeoGSP and I as we walked around the circuit track on a beautiful night.

Odd bit of bush with so much grass underfoot.
I own a larger verion of one of these, so opening was a matter of moments.
Thanks.

This was a combined effort, mrs sharnie's tribe found the cache and mr sharnie's tribe managed to open it. Started off on the track then decided to bushbash as we had a family appointment we had to get to. We'll have to leave the reverse cache for another day unfortunately! TFTC

We bush bashed from our last cache to this one with limited time due to a prior commitment. Once the cache was found we battled against time to get to the log book. We were about to give up when we accidentally stumbled upon the solution. Such a simple puzzle but quite challenging at the same time. Thanks OldSaint for another quality cache in a great area.

I spotted this one and the other OldSaint cache published while I was still at work but knowing full well there was no chance of a FTF it was left until after dinner when myself and GooseandEgg planned to have a bit of fun night caching around Rosny Hill.
Around 7pm I left home and picked up the Goose, telling him that I hope he had his torch since mine had just died upon the reply in the affirmative we set off.

After doing this CO's Reverse cache we walked back down to the car and then drove up to the top of the hill, I was surprised when I noticed another car right behind me on the way up, so wanting to shake them off we parked in the first parking spot! But looking round we noticed there were lots of other cars parked on top of the hill tonight?
So we looked at the map and worked out which way was best to get to this cache and we ended up moving the car to the last parking where ther was oddly another car parked with someone in it?

We must have looked odd two middle aged men walking down the trail at this time of night, but that we did and followed the path for a bit until we had to go into the bush, we sort of had to zig and zag a bit and the a bit of going round in circles but we found GZ in the end.

As for the gadget we were both old hands at this sort of thing now if only but we have both come across this sort of thing before so did make easy work of get the log out and thus added our names to the log before making a round about way back to the path since we didnt want to pop out of the bush into the car park.

Thanks for another great caching night out!

After evading the law on our previous find we skedaddled pretty quickly with wheels spinning and lights off, into the dead of the night. Well ok we drove up the hill and parked at the top with the other weirdos
We were trying to work out the best approach and started down a track but soon found it was leading us further away from GZ. We backtracked a bit and soon realized we were going to have to bushbash it again. Off we set with one and a half torches, weaving our way through the ghostly forest in search of The Casket. It all started to feel and sound like a horror story, especially with the other things that are rumoured to go on up there at night time Again near GZ we struggled for a while to find the cache, not getting good readings but a wider search had us at GZ after some time. We accessed the casket easily and put our signature on the mummy, I mean log book.
We tried to retrace our steps but came out in a different spot on the track and were able to follow it back to the car....huffing and puffing. I wonder what the occupants of the car at the top of the track thought? We didn't stick around to find out!
Two from two tonight, Thanks for the adventure OldSaint

Mrs W. was shopping at Eastlands when notifications for 2 new caches came through. groceries can wait and she was off. As this was Mrs W's first gadget cache she was keen to see what would be involved. After being FTF on the new Reverse Cache she continued on to GZ. After searching three piles of logs before finding the correct pile she attempted "the casket". Mrs W. does not have much patience and soon it was wearing thin. Finally the log book appeared (like magic) not sure how but log was signed as FTF 13:15. A great cache and a great spot. TFTGC
