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 near GZ on Gellibrand Drive.

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.
We missed this one on a previous trip (was passed the intersection before we realised).
So you'd think we wouldn't drive past again, but we did! Never mind, turn around, come back, and a quick find was the eventual reward.
Found with AlbyDangles, on a semi-impromptu caching afternoon.
Cheers, EPs.

I was in the area after caches when this one appeared on my map so I decided to attempt the whole series. A quick find and one done and dusted.

A quick find but a very busy road so took quite a while before I could replace this one.
Like these shorter rolls in nanos, makes them a lot easier to deal with.
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.
Had to wait a minute for driving muggles to pass, but this was a nice quick find. Thanks for adding to the caches in the area.

Again good parking was appreciated as there was a steady stream of traffic on the road below today. The spiders have been very busy in the hide zone and we didn't want to destroy too much of their work while retrieving the cache container.
Thanks for this cache Whitewebbs. We certainly enjoyed exploring this part of Paradise.
