We were visiting the cave and after I noticed this caches was right here. Went over and had a look all around the large tree. But nothing. I guess the cache could be covered by lots of stuff after 4 year, or it is just gone in that time.
Well this cache hasnt been found for a while - and you can tell and the amount of leaf litter, etc on it was extreme
TFTC.
Took the longer way to walk to this cache, and then it took me quite a while to actually find cache.
Found this cache on a 2 day trip to the NW, covering over 1000 kms and finding around 100 caches of both GCA and GC

Hello sirius Tas thank you for the cache.
Today I drove up from Hobart and my mission was to find Loyeta Peak ST513 and some other caches as time allowed.
This was one of the caches I found on the way back home.
A nice quick find but no time for a cave tour today

Hi Sirius
A six day caching trip had me travel 1675km around the West and North West Coasts of Tasmania.
Places visited included Hagley, Latrobe, Ulverstone, Burnie, Waratah, Savage River, Corinna, Yolla, Wynyard, Oldina, Boat Harbour, Sisters Beach, Gunns Plains, Sheffield, Natone and Lovett Flats.
Eight caches only found on day one, 19 on day two; day three got me ten, 37 to date.
This was the 44th cache to be found, total caches found 55.
Arrived at the car park and took the short walk to GZ. Took a short period of time to find the cache. Was just about to give up and decided to have another quick look and BINGO! First time here; LOVED it!! Thanks for bringing me here.
Sainted the cache and signed the log at 1400hrs.
TFTC and cheers

Tried this one once before but couldn't search because there was someone working in the bbq area. Back today on a drizzly first day of winter and got a clear run this time. Searched according to the hint and thought we were going to come up empty handed until mr sharnie's tribe found it out in the open down hill from where we thought it should have been. Hopefully we've rehidden it in the right spot. Thanks for the cache in a place we've visited several times over the years to do the cave tour.
Found this on a Gunns Plains visit and cache hunt !
We have wonderful memories of visiting the cave 20 years ago.

Many thanks to TipTopTas for replacing cache in it's right hidey spot...much appreciated ....cheers.
Found the cache on the way to look, it had slipped most of the way down the embankment and I nearly stood on it. Managed to get the log signed and put it back where it should be a little more secure before the hoards of muggles showed up.
We have had the tour of the caves before and really enjoyed it, nice to visit again if only briefly, this is a lovely, peaceful valley.

A worker was doing maintainence when we arrived accompanied by 2 german shepherds who came to greet us. We wandered around trying to look invisible and found the cache quickly. TFTC

Well, we would have gone for a look in the caves but we just missed the tour. Instead we had to contend with an extended family of muggles that had decided to wait until the next tour.
After working out roughly where it was, TimTam started talking to the cows over the fence while I went in search of the cache.
Checked what the muggles were up to before grabbed the cache and ducking out of sight to log.
TNLN, thanks sirius. I think we will be back.

Arrived just as a heap of mugggles did. they then proceeded to have lunch on the lawn in full view of GZ so I distracted them by talking to the local cattle while Swampy retrieved the cache. Trouble with that was as soon as Swampy went to get the cache the locals decided they wanted to see what he was doing...wish cattle weren't such nosy parkers. cache was retieved and replaced withpout the muggles being aware and that is the main thing. Thanks for the cache, will have to come back another time and do the cave
Lovely area to travel through found cache but it was well away from GZ apparently the the previous access path followed the fence, but the new one is closer to the edge of the cave so be careful. TNLN

No one to bother us today. Quick find. We placed TB 948817 safely inside ready for its next trip.

Had to wait a while before we could attempt this one as a group of muggles had just emerged from the nearby caves. Once the coast was clear this was an easy find, thanks.

We had to be patient while numerous muggles, visiting a nearby attraction, departed. A quick find once the way was clear.
Nice hide found quickly, just as well too. When we got back to geomobile, all the car owners emerged from the caves. TFTC
Just filling in time while the other half is underground.Nice quick, easy cache in good order. left frog

Nice easy find, but we didn't stop for a look in the caves - more caches were calling!
Never knew these caves existed, I guess they are overshadowed by their nearby Mole Creek brethren. Timed my visit terribly, bang on 11:30 and I didn't feel the urge to wait, especially when the cache made itself known quite quickly.
Thanks for the cache sirius.
Thanks for the cache sirius.
Thanks for the reason to take a very round about route home Sirius. I will have to come back here with the kids as the sink hole is spectacular. Cheers.
had to out-wait a few tourists but then sucess, also dropped off a moveable in same area.

I enjoyed this stop: the caves weren't open so I could wander around unwatched and unimpeded, a neat little cache, good timing with the nice loos, and a look at the changes of the set up here as I haven't been to these caves in years. Thanks sirius.
Found with Hookline. No vampires where this is hidden today.
Quick stop on a mission
Thanks for another one Sirius.

For a little while I was fairly convinced the muggles were going to stop us from logging the cache but Neribil worked his magic and had them eating out of his hand in no time which meant I could log our find.
Thanks sirius
Thanks sirius
Have not been to the caves for years so it was nice to return to the area once again. Nice easy find Thanks

After leaving Blazing Saddles we went here, and easily found it. Was at the second place we looked at.
In company of daemos and Snuva found it easily though GPSr was all over the place due to tree and cloud cover. Nice way to finish the day. Thanks Sirius.

Did the cache, and did the caves too. Actually, we intended to come here anyway, whether there was a cache here or not.
No vampires or bats, but there was the odd menacing glow worm to watch out for. TNLN.
Thanks Sirius Tas.

Found this one on a post-event, pre-dinner caching trip with Mr deegees and daemo. The GPSr was giving us the run-around in the wet, misty weather, however the 'were would I hide it' method worked.
Thank you for the cache!
Thank you for the cache!
Found this one after the event, A great spot, love the rocks near the car park, Will be back for the caving experience on another day,
Thanks sirius Tas
Thanks sirius Tas
First cache for the day on the way to the event. Didnt go in but we now know where the caves are. Upon opening the log book, my son heard
me exclaim, 6.30 - he's mad!, and promptly told 3DG when he arrived at the event. I certainly admire your enthusiasm 3DG - You'll now be able to do a Swampy and turn difficult caches into drivebys with the new geofourby! Thanks for the first of a few of your caches for the weekend Sirius.
