This puzzle had me in a bit of a knot and I could not solve it till I got a little hint. At last I am getting these puzzles off my list. Today after work I had time to dash up the hill to find one cache but I will be back to get another tomorrow when I have the morning off. Path was a bit wet today after yesterday’s rain and had to watch where I walked! Thanks Tassie Trekkers for another great puzzle and cache
Hi Trekkers,
A fair climb up from the last cache.."Mt Bike Hill"...I did a couple of circles at gz before the gpsr behaved and then spotting the hide. Another enjoyable find...many thanks...cheers ST.

Hi Trekkers
A great caching day today. Another day out with Budge and a total of 37 caches found.
Travel:
Left Huonville for Lenah Valley at 0515 hours, met the Blue Flier and then on to Launceston and return to Huonville at 2240 hours.
Another 14.53 kilometres were covered on foot requiring 19217 steps burning 2322 calories.
Weather:
Overcast and drizzly morning. A fine afternoon and a bit warmer.
Thanks to Budge for a great day, great company, laughs and above all else his friendship
The majority of caches found today were hidden by Tassie Trekkers and my thanks to them for their dedication to our SPORT and giving me as much fun as I had today (as well as the sore legs and aching body - cheers) The balance of finds was made up of many caches put out by DaFiChNi for which I thank them for the fun I had finding them
GA11432 "Another Hill to Climb"
This puzzle took some time to solve - in fact, I began to see "RED" while doing it. But, I got into the "BLACK" and the geo-checker liked what was a coloured entry
Glad I didn't have to walk too far down this hill as I remember how steep it can be by having found other caches in the area
By now the legs are really getting tired, but they'll learn to love me again
A quick find
Sainted the cache at 1327 hours as the fifthteenth find for the day.
TFTC and cheers

I was scratching my head trying to work this one out but with a bit of help (thanks Tassie Trekkers), I sorted it out and went on another hunt. TFTC.
We dropped off the reverse cache (and noted it online) and moved further into the area to find a few more. We did this in a bad order having to backtrack a bit but it was nice enough here with the cooling breeze. I looked at this puzzle as I'm typing this and wondered how I solved it, a quick check of my notes helped. A quick find thanks, Now we're going to go and pick some flowers.
A comment to stainless steel rat on Thursday night turned into a plan rather quickly over the following 24 hours. After a later than expected Friday night I dragged myself out of bed while the clock still started with a 5, Urgh!
My first stop was the Rats Nest to pick up stainless steel rat and after loading his things in the car we departed at 6.05am. Our first stop was Mood Food for coffee and to find some lunch to throw in the esky for later, followed by a much needed stop at the train park in Perth (to offload the coffee), then it was on to the house of TazScout for another round of coffee.
We spent the whole day caching in various parts of Trevallyn Reserve and then picked up a few other caches as we left there late in the day. We found traditional caches, puzzle caches, a trig point, some moveable caches, a pod cache, a reverse cache, a beacon cache, a gadget cache, a night cache and a multi-cache. We also found a cache of EVERY terrain type from an easy T1 right through to a ‘fun’ T5.
After a late dinner in town, we returned back south with a couple of fresh air stops on the way. After dropping stainless steel rat back at his nest, I arrived home at 11.45pm absolutely exhausted.

Found with Goose of GooseandEgg, TBH I have no clue which cache this was all I know is we found it and moved on after adding our names to the log Sorry, cache in good order, thanks.
This trip was a spur of the moment thing only first dreamed up on Thursday night, GooseandEgg wanted to clean up a few new caches in the North so with the weather looking good for today we left home at 6am and got back home at 11:30pm. Thanks for great day out.

In town for our granddaughter's birthday so decided to add a bit of caching to the day. We'd worked out some puzzles during the States of the Nation summer game but didn't have the opportunity to make the search during the game period so now using the puzzles to fill some gaps on our calendar. A quick find when we reached GZ, love the size of all these new caches and the exercise for the grey matter doesn't hurt either (well only a little bit)! TFTC
Thoroughly enjoy trekking thru the scrub of the Trevallyn Reserve. Not knowing the tracks too well did a bit of bush bashing to make my way to this one.. thanks..!!

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.

whitewebbs are now a geocache themselves as we have published a 'Geocacher cache' GA10805 - Where's whitewebbs? - so if you spot us out and about in the field sign our log book and receive a code word to earn yourself a smiley.

Mr Y'Tassie is the expert on colour related puzzles and soon had this one solved so it could be added to our list for our next Launceston trip.
There was a pleasant breeze while we were walking under the tree cover but when we came into open country it became quite hot and the breeze disappeared.
Even though the GPS was insistent the we were at GZ it took us a little while to realise that we were at GZ and the cache was indeed at our feet. The container blended into its surroundings seamlessly. Mrs Y'stassie used her walking pole to extract the container just in case you know what was hiding in the reeds - it wasn't.
When we opened the log book we were surprised to see a blank book giving us a second {FTF} at 14:05. Container and contents were in excellent condition.
Thanks for the puzzle, the cache and the points for the SOTN game Tassie Trekkers.
