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 at end of Kainlani Way, (off Gellibrand Drive) Sandford. Can access Tangara trail from here.

Hello whitewebbs thank you for the cache.
This one took a little time to find as we had to wait for a very young muggle to continue her bike ride as she was waiting for here dad to catch up.
Once the track was clear it was an easy find.

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.
After finding #5, we mosied along to this one. This is a nice track that I'd not walked before, so thanks for bringing me here. Interesting that there are parallel tracks here! Just as we arrived at GZ, a young girl (quite young) came out from a nearby property lane on her bike, and propped here against a sign.
Mmm, best we move on until she moves on. Eventually dad caught up and they left together so we returned and made acquick find.
Found with AlbyDangles, on a semi-impromptu caching afternoon.
Cheers, EPs.

Had just arrived at GZ when a group of adult muggles and bike riding children approached. They asked me if I was right and I was just about to say I was checking out the track to see if it was suitable to ride when one asked me if I was geocaching. They weren't geocachers but had found a few by accident and seemed to know what it was all about. I said there was one very close by but they rode and walked on and didn't seem interested enough to wait till I found it. I had pretty much picked the likely hide when they approached, so I was out of there nearly as quickly as them. Nice of them to be concerned about the welfare of one old person in the bush by themselves though!!
Thanks.
Thanks.
Came out to this beautiful part of southern Tas to find my first GeoArt, together with Newy07.

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.
Another part of the Tangara Trail that we hadn't walked before - thanks for adding to the caches 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.

We were not sure we were in the right spot but drove down stopping very close to the hide. We then noticed the access point for the trail. Again cacher senses saw us spot the very good hide and we soon had our hands on another nice container. All was in good order.
Thanks for this cache and the excitement Whitewebbs. We met a small truck coming down the track when we were on our way out. We managed to successfully pass one another. It would probably be safer to follow the CO's instructions and walk down the trail. We spotted the access sign when we reached the start of the track we had followed.
