Description
Paradise Peninsula - South Arm
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.
Plenty of parking at GZ, watch out for muggles.

Hi whitewebbs, thanks for the cache, and the geoArt series, that we're finally making a start on.
Found on a nighttime geocaching adventure with AlbyDangles, in lieu of our usual boys night out for dinner.
Two caches here, so I looked for this one, while AD went after the CG one. A tell tale whitewebbs was soon in hand, signed, and relaced. Then I had to find the other one while AD was still searching in the dwizzle (but in fairness, I did readvthe hint).
Cheers, EPs.

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.
There was one car leaving as we approached, but the car park was otherwise empty. A nice quick find, followed by a walk along the beach - beautiful!

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.
Took a little work to get to the cache container - knew it was there but couldnt remove without help

As we approached the area we noticed a sign that indicated Whitewebbs small scale construction skills had been deployed nearby. Closer inspection of the object of interest revealed a well hidden container. All was well with the container and contents.
Thanks for this cache Whitewebbs. We could hear the roar of the waves on the other side of the dunes. Would have liked to visit the beach here but time was starting to run out.
