Swampy and I decided that we needed to continue our plunder of caches in the north west of the state. Countless hours were spent solving puzzles, planning routes and generally preparing for the onslaught. This was going to encompass caches both from GC and GCA. Thanks for placing this hide.
Hi DEZ055.
Today VK7HCH continued our plundering of caches between home and the northwest of the state.
On Day 1 of the plunderage, your cache was one of those that we found.
We worked our way from Mangalore to Deloraine via the Central Highlands finding caches as we went.
Thanks for placing this cache for us to find.

"Hello DEZ055 thank you for the cache.
I had to find this one on the way back home as there was a car parked here this morning.
An easy find now I know what to look for.
Found on Sunday 02 April 2023 at 1410

I day trip up to the Lakes to find (and refind) some caches, a great day out, some easy and some harder finds.
Straight after parkrun this morning i meet gooseandegg at our normal coffee shop and after a few minutes chat the goose loaded his gear in the 4WD and we were off heading North for the day.
We almost made it to our futhest target cache without stopping but called for some GCA caches along the way, after grabbing some stunning views from a new budgie cache we headed to the last one and started on our drive back after a short detour.
The cache of the day was a out of the blue surprise showing me a location i had no idea of and a feature i didnt know existed in Tasmainia or Australia.
It was dark and 9:40 before I got home, almost 11 hours and 460km made for a good caching trip.

Three from three. Its EASY now 
. I haven't really bothered much with GCA for a while. The online carry-on annoys me and puts me off. It was nice to find some some today on an absolutely stunning day, and forget about everything else. Thanks DEZ055

Thanks DEZ055Whilst travelling back from Gretna through the highland lakes did a maintenance check on the diabolical trio.
This one was in place and in good order awaiting its next finder.

Out for a day with OldSaint mainly as a maintenance run for me, then on the way home we diverted to Lake Sorell and Interlaken to grab a few GCA caches.
Great hidden cache. Very clever

Today we were heading south to cross to Bruny Island tomorrow.
A last minute decision was made to come through the lakes way. A quick look at the GCA map was made as we left Deloraine and these three caches were picked up.
This was the first tackled and Mrs Beetle walked straight past the hide. But Mr Beetle wound down the van window and suggested I tried something and sure enough, there was the cleverly hidden cache.
Thanks.

Last cache on the list for today. We are getting very familiar with this style of hide and spotted this hide as we pulled up. A quick dash across the road and the log was signed and we were on our way again.
Thanks for this cache in the little series DEZZ055. Now it is on to our maintenance tasks.

FTF @ 2.30 pm. On her way home from a caching weekend up North, Mrs W made a detour at Tunbridge and went up and over Interlaken to collect three diabolical caches that had been published. She wasn't disappointed as they were all great caches. Plenty of room to park at GZ as well. TFTC
