Description
Cache placed just off 7 Mile Beach
Seven Mile Beach - Horses and Dogs permitted on beach all year round except the section between Day Use Area 3 and Day Use Area 4 where dogs are prohibited 1 Dec to 1 Mar 10am to 6pm. At other times dogs must be on lead. Horses prohibited on beach west of Day Use Area 4 at all times.
I was out this way cleaning up a few cache and was thinking why are there so few caches out here.
In an attempt to fix this I have placed some today for you to find along the wonderful Seven Mile Beach.
You are looking for a small A Camo'd Sistema container.

A quick find with the clue. Strange that a 4wd was parked right by GZ. TFTC!

Our last find for the day before losing my pen. Had intended to get quite a few out this way today but ended up being a rather unsuccessful hunt today. A couple of DNF’s and then a lost pen meant no more logs could be made. Decided to just enjoy the walk on the beach.

It was a perfect Autumn day to go for a walk along this beach. We decided to grab a few caches along the way.
It took us a while to find. We put a few more pine cones on top to make it a bit more obvious to the next cacher.

"Hello stainless-steel-rat thank you for the cache.
This one took a little longer to find than it should have.
A good spot to have lunch.
EeePees and I had been planning on finding the cache along 5 Mile Beach and Seven Mile Beach for some time now, today we finally got around to do it.
After an early morning start at the carpark at the end of 5 Mile Beach Road we walked along the beach with junior EP in tow and collected caches as we went.
We then ventured inland and found more caches before coming back out near the end of 5 Mile Beach.
From there it was a up and down walk across the point to Seven Mile Beach working our way back to the car ducking in and out of the bush as needed to find caches.
I must admit I did like the break as we sat on the dunes and had lunch.
After lunch it was mostly a case of trudging our way along the soft sand on the inland track finding more caches.
Thank you EeePees and JEP for the great day and for finding the caches I didn't see, it was a great day.

Despite the lower temperatures today it was a nice warm walk along this beautiful beach. The bear was the first to find this one. Thanks for the cache SSR

This one was a quick find requiring less acrobatic skill than the last! Onwards! TFTC
After doing some cache maintenance on a couple of mine this cache was next on the plan. A quick find was made, cache signed and replaced. Time to get forked now! 
Found this cache while out and about today

Game Period: 01-Dec-2018 00:00:00 to 31-Jan-2019 23:59:59 AEST
It is sometimes said [citation needed] that the game of geocaching is not about the destination it is about the journey. This game is about the choices you make in the experience of the journey or the destination.
On your entry to the game you will be asked to create a playing field with a number of ground tiles. Your playing field is a grid 20 x 20 ground tiles making a total number of 400 possible steps you can take on your journey or destination. You choose whether you want to find and follow the path or whether you wanted to meander around. A playing field is unique to each player so there is no benefit in teaming up to beat the system through brute force.
For each qualifying geocache that you hide or find during the game period you will be offered the opportunity to click on a ground tile and reveal what lies beneath. There are a number of different ground tiles that will be revealed when you click on your playing field. It should be noted that there are no punishments for clicking a tile but there will not always be the reward you were hoping for as you reveal each tile.
Dirt. The ground beneath the ground tile is just plain old brown dirt.
Dirt with some points. The ground beneath the tile is brown dirt but it has some points associated with it.
Concrete. The ground beneath is part of the pathway that will lead you on your way to your destination but has no point value.
Start. A concrete ground tile that has a blue map marker.
Destination. A ground tile that has a green map marker.
Meandering around and avoiding the path will accumulate points that will be used to place on you the ladder of wanderers. The more you stay off the path the higher the number of points you will accumulate and it will be your journey that will be the determining factor in whether you place into a prize winning position. You are free to select any ground tile to click on; they do not need to be next to each other.
Trying to find the path may mean you strike out on the dirt until you eventually come across the path and as a geocacher who can't say that this isn't a tried and true method. Once you find the path however will you try and follow the path as it changes direction around your playing field? Do you go North, South, East or West to try and find the next concrete tile along the path? If you head one way are you heading towards the start or towards the destination? When you do happen upon the destination tile then you will automatically be in a winning position.
At any point you are free to change from the journey to the destination and vice versa but you won't be able to regenerate your playing field. You are also free to keep playing as long as you have qualifying geocaches, accumulating more and more dirt tile points and placing you higher and higher on the ladder.
Qualifying geocaches fall into two categories. Finds and Hides.
A qualifying find is a geocache that meets the following criteria:
The geocache is listed at Geocaching Australia
The geocache has a hidden date prior to the game commencing
The geocache was logged by you on the Geocaching Australia website during the game period
The geocache was physically found by you during the game period
The geocache is not owned by you unless it is a moveable geocache
The geocache has not previously been found by you during the game period
The geocache is one of the following types:
Burke and Wills
Moveable (you will qualify only once for a find on a moveable geocache)
Traditional
TrigPoint
Augmented Reality
Beacon
Gadget
Multi-cache
Night Cache
Podcache
Reverse
Unknown or Mystery
A qualifying hide is a geocache that meets the following criteria:
The geocache is listed at Geocaching Australia
The geocache has a hidden date after the game has commenced
The geocache was published on the Geocaching Australia website during the game period
The geocache has a container size of regular or larger (Note: A regular geocache has a volume of 1 litre or more)
The geocache is one of the following types:
Moveable
Traditional
Augmented Reality
Beacon
Gadget
Multi-cache
Night Cache
Podcache
Reverse
Unknown or Mystery
The game tracking mechanism relies upon your honesty when logging geocaches as found or hidden.
The games administrators will undertake verification of a statistically significant number of logs.
Players who continually log inaccurate information will be disqualified from the game. The game administrators decision is final.
The game administrators will subtract qualifying hide or find geocaches from your tally if they are found to be not genuine.
The game administrators reserve the right to provide clarifications to the rules at any point during the game.
Don't forget to claim your limited time game trophies, if your qualify, while the game is in progress. Once the game completes the ability to claim your trophies is lost for ever.
Long Walk to this cache, via a number of other caches. A little walking around in every decreasing circles until I found the cache.

Woke up this morning and saw what an awesome day it was so thought I would come up to this area and get a few caches before Bathurst race comes on. Tftc
This was the second cache we found on our short visit to seven mile beach this morning. Container and contents were in very good condition.
Thanks for this cache Stainless-Steel-Rat. It was a beautiful day to be walking in this area.

Hi Stainless
Started my day driving from Huonville to Seven Mile Beach and going to WP1 for GC7V864, where the pertinent info was gleaned and calculated
Ah! That direction!!
Is one of their next caches in that direction too?
YES! All good
Having found GA12582 and GA12576; this one was next on the agenda
Was surprised at short the distance I had to go from "Flying High" to this one; but understood why when I went to the top of the dunes to look at the view
It was good to be completely grounded again for a quick find
Sainted this hide at 1156 hours
With the log signed; it was on to the next one showing on the GPS
Today, doing the caches down here; I walked a total of 11.10km using 15019 steps and burning 1911 calories
TFTC and cheers

Thanks for the cache Stainless-Steel Rat. This cool wintry Sunday started with me comfortably ensconced on the couch watching a movie. But with the weather improving, some newly published geocaches, and a restless GeoGSP, it was time to head out. After a couple of diversions and messages, I was able to meet up with EeePees who was in the area, and then ran into Whitewebbs at another nearby geocache. Whitewebbs waited for EeePees and I to catch up and have a search for this cache before we all then continued on for the rest of the afternoon. This was a nice easy find, Cheers!
When we awoke the email was flooded with new cache alerts but the weather was pretty ordinary, cold and raining. We uploaded the caches to the GPSr in case it looked like it was clearing and about mid morning we headed off. When we arrived in the car park we noticed a familiar car so thought the first to finds would be gone. After getting a joint FTF on the last cache we parted ways with Lil Rafa who was returning to the car park to meet EeePees who had just arrived so we went on solo to this cache. A nicely stocked cache under the pine needles. FTF @ 12 noon. TFTC

Hi SSR, thanks for hiding new caches with the Goose, out this way.
Found this one with Lil Rafa, and in the presence of whitewebbs.
After the morning rain, the day was changing nicely, and we 4 along with Rafa the geoGSP, enjoyed a caching stroll along this great beach.
We'd each made separate starts, but ended up together for a great days caching.
Actually, it was nice that the others waited for me to catch up!
Me, I needed to be in the area to fill in time between a pre-noon airport drop-off and a 5pm pickup from Orana, Roches Beach and these new caches, plus some other at 5 mile beach keeped me suitably occupied.
Cheers, EPs.
