Description

While heading down to Boomer Bay I spied shiny new guard rails. The Sorell Council have certainly outdone themselves in creating a safe U-Turn bay. Please take note of the no standing signs and park where you are allowed. Cache placed as part of the requirements for December in the 2020 Game of Games.

After a bright and early start to have an onslaught on some southern caches we left well before daylight negotiating the fog, icy conditions and the odd slow driver to make our way to sorell after grabbing some caches there we made our way down towards Port Arthur to find most of the caches in the area, the view from the Eaglehawk lookout was brilliant. Met up with Oldsaint near the golf course where he needed assistance to turn the hazards off on his Ranger. At the second last cache in the area we meet up with Goose and Stainless Steel Rat, after a catch up and discussing some caching we headed off for seven mile beach where we located all but one of the caches we had targeted in the area.
then continued onwards to Sanford to find the rest of Whitewebbs MMMM games caches and a few others that were close by. Needing to be in New Town at 5 to pick up a heater we stopped in at Rosny Hill to grab the caches there to fill in some time, all were located and solved. After loading the heater onto my ute we decided that was enough caching for the day and headed back north arriving home around 10pm.

A quick and easy find on our way past TFTC

As our onslaught on the south begins, we started early from the north and made our way south for the day. Great day for caching in Tasmania

Quick drive by on our way south. TFTC Clan Cerberus

Today we're heading out of Hobart towards Orford and decided a small detour that would give us the opportunity to grab a few quick GCA caches was in order . This one was a quick find with the aid of accurate coordinates and the hint. Thanks for the cache

Out for a day caching around Dunalley and further south, Found quite a few caches with some great ones among them. The ones around Dunalley were all very good. The walk to the cache in Lime Bay was also a highlight

First cache of the day and had to clear the spider webs out of the way to grab it

We found a safe parking spot and walked back to the new, shiney guard rail where we found the cache safely tucked away. Coordinates were spot on for us today and the cotainer and contents were in excellent condition.

Thanks for this cache Whitewebbs. While we have rarely used U Turn bays they proved much safer turning areas for locals.
 
well well well look at this a FTF out of the blue!
Dragged myself out with the goose and found this one without an issue
thanks for the cache
