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 in Sandville Place, S43 00.039 E147 29.700

Quick find, the chrome coating is poor with this one, it looks great, and certainly not out of place. TFTC

Found on a nighttime geocaching with AlbyDangles.
Hi whitewebbs, as you know, we were in the area tonight, and we called in here on our way back out.
We missed this one as we parked nearby, then after the previous cache we realised this one was here.
A nice quick find.
Thanks for the cache and this series - still a few to go !
Cheers, EPs.

No vegetables for sale here today so I had to settle for finding this cache and the No 8 of the series.

Mr Beetle grabbed this one while I walked to #8.
A quick find was made and then we checked out the vegie stall which had no produce for sale today.
Thanks.

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.
Never really noticed the nearby little hut here, must be just in the right spot to not stand out for passing motorists. Nice quick find at GZ.

We were not finding these in order but that didn't matter. This was another one for the taller team member. We had forgotten how busy this stretch of road was so were glad to find another good safe parking spot close by.
A quick find of a nicely disguised container.
Thanks for another cache in this well planned series Whitewebbs.
