Description

Paradise Peninsula - Sandford

This cache has been placed to celebrate a new Geocaching Australia type and is the first GeoArt placed in Tasmania.

It is called a GeoArt geocache. This new geocache type is a sub type of a traditional geocache where the phsycal geocache container is at the published co-ordinates. In adddition to the published co-ordinates an additional set of co-ordinates are required which will place a map marker in order to display your GeoArt.

The caches have been placed in the general area of "Paradise Peninsula" (as called by the locals) which starts at Lauderdale and ends at Opossum Bay. It is also the area we have called home for over 33 years.  Here you can play BOWLS, golf, fish, go boating, surf, kayak, mountain bike plus many other activities and of course plenty of GEOCACHES to find.

I hope you enjoy the series.

Please bring your own pen. Parking available at GZ

A quick find on my trip to clear more caches down South Arm.

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

Hi whitewebbs, thanks for the cache and this geoArt series.
Yes, it is a little unusual for us to be geocaching down this way in the daylight, but we are.
Plenty of parking, nice and quiet, and another quick find, with the hint, and a semi exposed container.
Log has been quite wet and too flimsy to unfurl to sign.
So we didn't sign, but I have a pic of the cache if required.
Found with AlbyDangles, on a semi-impromptu caching afternoon.
Cheers, EPs.

When I arrived there was a muggle in a car near by but I was able to unobtrusively acquire the cache. The log was damp but I managed to get my name on it. Very Happy

out and about caching by myself for shots for the GCA Battleship game, easy find with clues. TFTC TNLN log dry only 4 mines to go so close. lots of single cell ocean to hit.

With today's caching plans abandoned we decided to head home earlier but not before we found the last in this series, the first art series we have ever tackled.
It was really raining when we pulled up at GZ so we were very pleased about the placement of this one.
Guess a return visit to South Arm will be warranted soon so we can do what we planned to do down here. Hopefully next time we will be more prepared and have some of the mystery caches solved too.
Thanks for this and all the other Whitewebbs caches we have done over the last three days.

Today was a rare family free day in the south of the state so we thought we'd have a go at some of the caches in the South Arm area. This geoart was published about the same time we were down here last and has been on the to do list ever since. We tackled the caches out of order but in a sequence that made sense for us. We really enjoyed the series, the different hides and the fact that there was parking handy to each of them. Our first geoart finds, woohoo! Thanks for the caches and the series

Thanks for this Geoart series Whitewebbs. Today was a lovely day to look for caches in this area, so the GeoGSP and I headed out for an afternoon of sunshine, visiting beaches and finding caches.
This one was our first for the day and it's pretty close to where the GeoGSP goes for doggy vacation when I'm away, so he got a bit excited as we approached, but when I pulled over he realised what we were up to. Nice quick find.

Staying in Hobart for a week and this new series was on our to do list.

A great series with a variety of hides that we enjoyed finding.

Many thanks whitewebbs for creating and maintaining this series, a must do when in the area.

Some time off from a hectic work schedule and decided that a quick loop of the Sandford area. Found all but one of the new X marks the spot caches, which I found to be a great series mainly differing hides. Great Variety of caches. TFTC and the series.

Another quick find as it is school holidays we didn't have to run the gauntlet of buses in the spot. Cache was quickly located using the very generous clue. Cache was in good order.

Thanks for this cache Whitewebbs. We can see why the locals call this area Paradise Point and why you have called it home for 33 years. it is truly a beautiful spot with a great variety of scenery and activities. Thanks for taking us on a tour of your special space. Congratulations on publishing Tasmania's first GeoArt, a series of caches we can highly recommend. We hope it has many more visitors.
