Ready Aim Fire 7 Avoca, Tasmania, Australia
By Black Beard on 29-May-21. Waypoint GA21872

We've been planning to do this series for some time now and finally got ourselves organised for a day out.
Bit of a changeable day between cold/cloudy and cold/sunny but hey no rain so that's a win.
Apologies for all the copy/paste logs but the general feedback was "A quick easy find in good condition"
Thanks for placing these Sirius

This series was our target today as we make our way towards Orford. We found all but one of the caches and really enjoyed the peaceful countryside that we travelled through, neither of us had ever travelled this road before. The first couple of caches were found out in the open and rehidden according to the hints. Sorry for the copy and paste logs but we did really enjoy caching in the bush, thanks for the caches and the series

Was a mild winter’s morning to allow for an early start out of Huonville with Newy07, a muggle, and the muggle’s dog, to do the lovely drive from Conara to Cranbrook. Our main mission was to find all the Ready Aim Fire GeoArt series to boost our firing shots for the Battleships game. After re-hiding half a dozen moveables in the Conara Reserve, this was our 10th find for the day. Found at 1140 hrs while chasing the tail of a dear Sainted friend.

Hi Sirius
A day to go and finish Black Beard's "Ready Aim Fire" series
An early morning start that had me travel 472km in a return trip to Huonville
The day netted me 13 GCA finds
To find those 13 caches, I expended 1513 calories by utilizing 7352 steps to walk a distance of 5.81km
An enthralling trip; great scenery, good company and enjoyable finds
Unfortunately, we passed the motor bike accident on Rocky Hills just above Mayfield Beach - the rider was transported to Hospital by helicopter - we wish him/her a speedy recovery
This cache was the fifth on my to do list today as I could not find it on the first pass
Luckily it had been replaced and was a quick, easy find was made today
It was Sainted at 1100 hours
From here it was further along Old Coach Road to keep looking for those caches not found in your series
TFTC and cheers

Hi Sirius,

today i returned with Trimbletas to complete the ready aim fire series from Avoca down to Cranbrook.
Along the way we enjoyed the different scenery with all the finds being fairly straight forward.
all though a few bison tube were incorrectly rolled prevent easy access.
We left at 8am this morning and back at 6pm with over 50 caches found for the day.

found this one only just sitting on the sign so replaced it back towards pole. TFTC

We embarked on our inland voyage today. Taking us along the path to collect the loot as we traveled through perilous dangers and uncharted land and water. Sequentially making ourselves south as we started from the North. We had an enjoyable experience completing this series. Obvious hides were spotted through the windscreen of the chariot as well as both jumping out to hunt different spots to come up with the goods. All in all all caches were completed and in good order. Though some pirates need a lesson in Bison Tube log rolling!! Other than that, thank you captain Sirius for an enjoyable series. TFTCS

I had a day off and decided to get some of the geo art caches. I found about 20 caches. I had a slight issue as I did not write down the hints so I was stumbling around at some GZs. Thanks for a great series

The taller team member was sent to do the initial search and found it where the hint suggested it should be. He signed the log to the sound of flood waters rushing under the nearby bridge.

Thanks for this cache Sirius Tas. The ammunition is mounting so tonight we will make another assault on the attacking armada.

We didn't look for this one......when we downloaded all the caches yesterday it was disabled, so it wasn't on our GPSr.......the finders before us must have lownloaded it's details before it was disabled....lucky for them, they found the cache out of place ...... this will have to be a return trip of us on another day.

Beetles2 found the cache on the ground and kindly replaced back in its spot...a big thank you...

This one wasn't where it was supposed to be but we did find it on the ground less than a metre from where it was supposed to be. Signed and replaced as the hint suggested. Thanks.

The cache has gone missing. To be replaced soon.

Hi Sirius,

today i was working at Royal George on a property so during my lunch break i managed to pick up some of this series while down this way.
i will have to come back and complete the series as i have never travelled this road before.
found 15 caches with 1 DNF for the day.
All where found by accurate coordinates and a generous hint. enjoyed the series so far.

This one was not on location looked all over the sign, even on the ground around the sign. at one stage i backed the ute up to the sign so i could stand on the back.
sadly i couldnt find this cache
may need checking TFTC

Well I had plans for the weekend until this series came out and this changed all that, I talked to the Goose about doing this series on Saturday and then offered up 2 spare seats on the Tassie geocaching FB page, by Friday night we had one seat filled and two other cars travelling with us.
I left home at 7:15 we meet up with WhiteWebbs and Budgietas at the Mood Food event near Kempton at 8:15, then we drove to meet Tassie Trekkers at the Lake Leake turn off before heading East to the last cache of this great series number 44 was to be our 1st cache of the series at 10:13.
After making our way North and then West we found all the series without issue bar one where we had to search for sometime before adding our names to the logbook, we found the first one of the series and last for us at 13:40.
My estimate for this day out was 10 hours and due to good coords and hints we saved a lot of time so after splitting up with the other teams we made our way South to drop Budgietas back at his car grabbing a few other caches down side roads along the way, I arrived back home at 6:00.

Todays caching day was made all the better thanks to Sirius and my fellow cachers who mad it more than just a simple caching trip, thanks again.

Today we joined stainless-steel-rat, gooseandegg, Budgietas and whitewebbs for a caching trip along the Old Coach Road. We met the Southerners at Campbell Town and joined the convoy.

The day was overcast and cold but we managed to avoid the rain. We appreciate the time and effort gone into placing this series also the accurate co ordinates and detailed hints.

An excellent series of geo art and a great day out with great company. Signed the log "Convoy"

Many thanks Black Beard {sirius} we recommend this series.

The call was put out, but we didn’t have a whole lot of takers to join the Ready, Aim, Fire convoy. A small but hearty bunch of landlubbers consisting of stainless steel rat, Budgietas, whitewebbs, Tassie Trekkers and a special guest made the journey to this pirate ridden area for a bit of treasure hunting.
The rat collected me from my living quarters at 0730 and we met up with Budgie and whitewebbs at Mood Food where we had to settle for coffee as no rum was on offer!
We met Tassie Trekkers and special guest in Campbell Town and the convoy headed out to the East Coast via the Lake Leake Highway to start at #44 and work our way backward to finish in Avoca, giving us the better road to drive home on.
We finished a lot quicker than we thought and split up to do our own thing.
I’d only been to Royal George once before and the road was better than I remembered. It was an enjoyable drive and a great day out caching with good friends.
Thanks Black Beard/ Sirius Tas for a fantastic geoart series.

Hi Siruis

A day out with Goose / Stainless Steel Rat / Whitewebbs & Tassie Trekkers (in the order I spotted them on the day). The target was the Ready Aim Fire series. Started with a quick event at Mood Food, followed by a drive to Campbell Town where Tassie Trekkers were met. Started at 44 and moved back along the road towards 1. All 44 were found on the drive. This road I have travelled many times before, including a stop at where I went in my youth for many swims while holidaying in Swansea. A swim in fresh water was always nice on a hot day, and better than the sea! I remember seeing a platypus swimming by one day - so it is a special spot!

Royal George is not a large place, but it was packed today, I am sure there where about 15 - 20 people spotted as we drove through. SSR avoided a dog during the drive through.

All caches were signed as "Convoy" to save space in the log.

TFTC and the series

Today we joined the convoy that left Kempton at 8.30 am and headed north to check out this cool new geoart. It was a fun day with the great company of stainless-steel-rat, gooseandegg, Budgietas and TassieTrekkers. The weather was kind as the drizzle held off until on the way home but gee it was windy and cold. We enjoyed the hides and their placement and all were found with the aid of the detailed hints. Thanks sirius Tas for all the effort you have put into creating the geoart. We left home at 7.15 am, Kempton at 8.30 am, Campbell Town at 9.20 am (after collecting the northerners, including a muggle 90 year old) and starting the fun at 10.10 am. We finished around 1.40 pm which included a stop for lunch. After the first log on No. 44, all logs were signed as "convoy". We highly recommend this series and thanks for showing us a road we have not travelled on previously. TFTGA

The seventh in the series and I am now getting into the swing of things. Beautiful dawn views and colours in the sky and the cold breeze has dropped somewhat which makes leaving the vehicle a bit more acceptable.
