By ROBTAS on 05-Oct-08. Waypoint GA1224

Nearly 3 years since the lat find. Not in the abvious spots for a quick drive by. Maybe its absent or abandoned with no one to service it now ? Traffic has got worse since 2020 as well ...... even for a Saturday.

Tonight on the way back from Christmas shopping in Burnie we stopped to look for this cache, it was spotted very easily as it was laying out in the open, so once we signed the log we hid it better to ensure it’s longitvity. TFTC

Easy find, just because we did. TFTC

Thanks for the cache Robtas. Visiting the northwest coast for the weekend with RLD4963 to watch a friend's play. Decided to break up the drive home on Sunday with some geocaching. This was a nice place to stop (as there were a couple of other caches nearby). A nice easy find, cheers.

Out and about caching with Tassies Trekkers in the North West on a very windy afternoon. Many years ago when we were first caching in this area we tried to find this cache without any luck, today the DNF is now a find.

We are currently participating in the States of the Nation games running from 16 December 2017 until 21 January 2018.

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.

Sorry about the lengthy logs. We are currently aiming for a virtual verbosity trophy. TFTC

Tricky access for a big fella with dicky knees but managed it. We even had a toot of a car horn as I struggled back from GZ. Wonder if they were cachers. Thanks Robtas, another one of your interesting spots.

I like your turn of phrase, Robtas. However- my old bones didn't want to jump over the blackberry ditch and there were cars everywhere so I felt a bit (!!!) exposed. Maybe another time I'll try much earlier and from a different approach.

Continuing on towards Penguin and this was my next stop. Grabbed the lighthouse trig and then headed down for this one. No real problems and the cache was soon in hand.

Thanks RobTas....

Another cache that hasn't been seen for a long time but is still in place. Bit of a hop through the blackberries on the grass to get to it though. TFTC

No luck today

Found after a short search. Glad we managed to find this easily as lots of traffic on his road today. Thanks for organising the cache. TNLNSL. TFTC.

go Go Go is right this was a very exposed cache and the traffic around 5.30pm was more than a little daunting. Thanks for the cache

Yeah macs! We got it on our first trip geocaching. It is near to home and has been our 'kick off' into this fun family activity.

Easy find on the way back to the cachemobile after doing the trig point and cache above. TFTC

Heazle1 found easy but had will.mott laughing and screaming at me to hurry up. got a toot from veola truck nice of him! it was a great laugh when we finally got back to the car.

On day 5 of our holiday in Tasmania from Perth, WA.
A quick find beside this busy raod. TFTH

I was living in Burnie when these bits of so called "art" were placed. There was a lot of uproar at the time as people believed that the money would be better spent on worthwhile things. Having found the cache and been up close and personal to this "art" my feelings have not changed. They are ugly bits of metal and no way reflect the true nature of Burnie. TFTC

Nice easy find while the boss was grabbing the trig

Interesting walk to the cache - even though we parked close getting to the cache involved a walk of much longer length

The walk back was easier as we decide to go straight up the hill.

Found by Geo Kid I

Some people will search for caches anywhere they can just because they can and I did!!! I don't feel guilty either. Got a honk from someone that must be a cacher as he passed in his motor home. Logged the cache at 1118hrs and headed south. Thanks robtas.

Quick find on the way home. I have been meaning to do this for quite some time. GPSr was indicating GZ as 2.5metres North. TNLNSL TFTC

Found this while on way to Don Markets TFTC.

"Knock-off" time was not the best for trying to locate this cache - there was considerable traffic on the highway. I think we manged to locate this one and get the log signed without drawing attention to ourselves.

geo teen finally got this one

Found this after visiting the lighthouse cache. Very busy highway and glad I found it rather quickly.

Found this one exactly where I expected it to be. Despite the traffic it was a nice easy cache.

Rated: for Overall Experience

Found, right where it should be. But not by me, I was too busy climbing the rocks to look somewhere else...
TNLNSL

Found it. Thanks.

Speedy find indeed! Just as well with the amount of cars flying past at breakneck speed. We grabbed, signed and replaced as fast as we could.

Thanks for the cache.

I only picked this one up because I had to walk past it (twice) to get from where I parked the geomobile to the other cache near the lighthouse.
So there !!
TFTC.

have too agree with one other comment about being too easy

Rated: for Overall Experience

This location isn't really conducive to a prolonged search with the cars wizzing by and the exposed position next to the highway. But look extensively I did with the thought of a crush injury in the back of my mind - with all those rocks placed as they are up the bank. For a blatant driveby in this sort of location I'd like a hint please!!!

Drove right by, but stopped long enough to pick this one up!

A nice easy find on our way back from camping at Crayfish Creek. Cheers!

SL, Kids were my smoke screen. Nice one guy's

A true drive by, put on a safety vest and hard hat together with a folder so I looked like a worker and no one took any notice of me loging this one.

I somehow managed to step out of the car and fall straight into the ditch. Not a very ladylike thing to do but found the cache so that cheered me up.
Thanks robtas

Yep just a drive by, but Thanks Robtas

Spent too long looking for this one - should have looked in the third MOS.
Thanks robtas
Swampy

WAs expecting the cops to arrive after a prolonged search.
Got the goods in the end.

Found in the company of the CEyrettes after their little run in the Burnie 321. DEyrette found the cache relatively quickly much to the consternation of his sisters. Having kids scramble around the GZ seems to be a reasonable alibi to all of the passing traffic.
Cheers Robtas

Didn't take too long to find...was nearby replacing cache container at the lighthouse.TFTC robtas...Cheers.

Hmm, yea, its a drive by, alright, but felt very conspicuous looking for it in the middle of the day!!! Ans as my GPSr was down to about 6m, was wondering to look high or low....
Thanks, Robtas

Sorry for taking your cache, we thought you wouldn't mind and we were just having fun.

Took the cache because the location was disappointing and the only appealing thing about the cache was to find it first. Now it's found there really isn't much incentive left.

Placed cache back in its original horrible position.

Next time please write your name or mention geocaching somewhere, so that people in dire need of black canisters aren't tempted to nick it.

Cheers,

Hookline

Dropped in to find this today, and lo and behold, it was not there!!! Now it seems I know why!!!
Robtas, you must have known that we had been looking at these structures being built heh, heh! ;+}

Rated: for Overall Experience

You can but you can't.This is not a moveable cache so please put it back.
Quite happy where it was thanks .

Found your cache that you dropped by the side of the road, lazy bugger! Nicked the cache, to be relocated at a better place. Cause I can.

it is close to another but totally different aspects.
