Found easily with my boy. The rain tried to keep us inside but we braved it and went looking for a couple of caches. TFTC 
we solved this puzzle some time ago but have not had the opportunity to go look for this cache, so today was the day. on our way back from Burnie today we headed to the solved ground zone, on arrival and a quick search the cache was quickly located and the log was signed. placed the cache back into its hiding place an we were off to find the next cache.

Stopped for this one on the way to Burnie today. The geomutts got excited and thought they were getting out for a run in the bush but that was never going to happen with the cache so close to what turned out to be a busy road.
This one was solved a long time ago we just hadn't got around to searching for it.
The container had quite a bit of water inside but the contents were fairly safe in their zip lock bags.
Drained the water and returned it to its hiding spot.
Thanks.

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

One of the quickest finds for the day...moveables excepted. Another great size container and once the log was signed, it was time to head off......Goat Island is calling....
Thanks again guys....

I solved this when the states of the nation was on. After another find we whipped around the river and up the hill and followed the geotrail into this cache. We found it upside down and a little damp inside. After a wipe out we put it away the right way up, covered it well and continued our trip west. TFTC
Found cache easily but it had quite a bit of water inside...coming in through the hollow in the lid. Even the small sistema had water inside but thankfully all the ziplocs did their job. Emptied everything out and dried container and contents before returning. I left the container upside down to try and prevent further rain entering.
From up here I could see another fire burning at Heybridge...more protective burns.
Many thanks 2y'stassies for anorher top cache...cheers ST.

We had limited time between family commitments and bowls to gather caches that we could use for scavenge points in the States of the Nation games. With the northerners and northwesters publishing puzzle caches profusely (and all with large containers) we set about solving them as profusely as they were being published.
We decided to take a couple of days to make our assault and this was one we found on our trip. The weather varied from warm to hot, to dry to wet to torrential rain, to a change of clothes in the empty car park in Trevallyn Reserve (nearly considered "Nude up for a smiley" but luckily we changed our mind - not enough points on offer for that one!)
We thoroughly enjoyed solving the puzzles and the tour through the Geocaching Australia and Geocaching.com toolboxes.
Thanks to the cache owners for their hardwork in creating and hiding the large caches.
Sorry about the lengthy logs. We are currently aiming for a dragon zone virtual verbosity trophy. We have just received the 100 word trophy, so now aiming for the 150 word trophy. For all new GCA cachers, a warning, write a decent log to start with in case you want to get these virtual trophies down the track. Having now passed 2000 GCA finds with a lot of one word logs (on many moveables) makes for a lot of typing now!
We are participating in the States of the Nation games which are currently running from 16 December 2017 until 21 January 2018 and we will try and use this find against one of the scavenges.
States of the Nation is a real and virtual geocaching scavenger hunt where your home state will compete against other Australian states to find and hide geocaches. Over the 5 week course of the game there will be hundreds of scavenges that you can track down, find and convert into points for your state. Some scavenges will be easy. Some scavenges will be tough. Some scavenges may be impossible. Don't despair. You are not competing just for yourself; you are competing as a state.
There will be a number of scavenges released on a weekly basis but each scavenge will remain until the end of the game. This means even if you decide to join the game part way through, the early scavenges are still available for you to claim. Scavenges will require you to find a geocache, hide a geocache, attend an event or do something else completely different. The game focuses on all aspects of geocaching and so all cache types, sizes, terrain and difficulty will be up for scavenging. TrigPoints, Events, History, Virtual, Webcam, Podcache and Locationless geocaches are all scavengable, so you're not just looking for a box under a bush. Each week there will be a mix of physical, non-physical and locationless geocaches so even if you are not in a geocache rich area, use the locationless component of scavenger series to get out, find something to log and gain points for your state. If you watch the scavenges as they are released you might also spot the 'not so hidden' patterns and plan for future weeks of the series.
Hiding geocaches will also be a large part of the scavenger series, but please remember this is a game of geocaching and geocaches that you hide should be long lasting, be of good quality and you should be proud of what you hide. Please avoid hiding a geocache just for the day so your state can find it before you archive it. Geocaches that exist for a short period of time may result in any claims on that geocache being disqualified. Play creatively, but also play fairly. More geocachers hiding more geocaches makes for more geocaching fun.

Found on a big day of caching down the coast via the Western Tiers. Lots of puzzling beforehand enabled us to add this one to our list. Soon had the puzzle sorted and accurate co ordinates made for a quick find at GZ.
Many thanks 2y’stassies we appreciate the time and effort gone into creating and publishing this cache for the SOTN games. Another one we can claim.

the oddest thing happened as I was driving this one my phone was giving me directions but suddenly started playing a random tune but it seems to sort itself out just before the case and told me to stop in the right spot so I had a very short walk to the cash and has a big one thanks very much
Worked on these puzzles lat night and got most of them, had to go to Launceston for a family day but still managed to fit in a bit of caching along the way. This was the first one on our list, a straight forward find when we got to GZ and logbook signed at 9.55am. Love the size of the cache. TFTC
Solved a few of the SOTN puzzles last night and decided to head to the north west coast this afternoon and see what we could find. A quick find at GZ due to accurate co-ords and a large container size. Thanks 2y's for organising the cache and giving us a rare FTF. Go Tassie!!
