Down south for the Summer Solstice event, needed a find for our next cacheopoly move, and this one fitted the bill.

Nice to make this find after solving the puzzle during the MMMM games.

Thanks, whitewebbs, for placing this cache.

After a bright and early start to have an onslaught on some southern caches we left well before daylight negotiating the fog, icy conditions and the odd slow driver to make our way to sorell after grabbing some caches there we made our way down towards Port Arthur to find most of the caches in the area, the view from the Eaglehawk lookout was brilliant. Met up with Oldsaint near the golf course where he needed assistance to turn the hazards off on his Ranger. At the second last cache in the area we meet up with Goose and Stainless Steel Rat, after a catch up and discussing some caching we headed off for seven mile beach where we located all but one of the caches we had targeted in the area.
then continued onwards to Sanford to find the rest of Whitewebbs MMMM games caches and a few others that were close by. Needing to be in New Town at 5 to pick up a heater we stopped in at Rosny Hill to grab the caches there to fill in some time, all were located and solved. After loading the heater onto my ute we decided that was enough caching for the day and headed back north arriving home around 10pm.

Pulled up close to GZ, a short walk soon had the cache in hand, after signing and taking the photo we placed the hide back into place and continue to the beach for a look. TFTC

As our onslaught on the south begins, we started early from the north and made our way south for the day. Great day for caching in Tasmania.

Another great cache on a beautiful area. TFTC :Cerberus

Another puzzle that took us back to a familiar piece of Tasmanian history. We enjoyed this well structured puzzle and soon had a solution and a green tick.

We had to wait for a dog owner to load his dogs and drive off before we could head to the hide. We found the container tucked away and added our name to the log. The container and contents were in good condition.

Thanks for this puzzle and hide Whitewebbs. We were glad that there were no plane crashes today. We appreciate the work you put into these puzzles that enable us all to take part in the Mid-Year Mystery Madness Months' game.

24/6/23: we finally added the required photo

Arriving at GZ and the rain was still 'persisting' down. With just over 20m to cover, we didn't bother with or coats, just hoofed it. A quick find and sign!
Thanks whitewebbs

I'd solved this one before this trip down here and with the late arrival of today's flight, I figured that I'd give it a shot before heading to the hotel in town.

It was tough going by torchlight but I eventually spotted the subject of the hint Embarassed

and not long after, I was signing the log at 18:30. Dancing

Hi whitewebbs
Enjoyed the puzzles on these caches
This trip was double barrelled in nature
First barrel - to find some caches, of which, this was one
It was Sainted at 1134 hours
Second barrel - on to New Norfolk for a night out in order to watch Anne's granddaughter play football against New Norfolk the next morning
Both barrels went off well
Georgie's team, Hutchins, defeated New Norfolk and five caches were found as FTFs
Cheers and thanks

We enjoyed all the puzzles in this series. It was a great day for a stroll to all the GZ's. Thanks for all the effort you put into creating these puzzles and caches. We learned a lot of local history we didn't know previously from this cache. TFTC

I solved this puzzle for the Mid-Year Mystery Madness Months game. I struggled with this one and it was only after I allowed my brain to relax that the answer came. Nicely done.

Interesting story. I'm not too sure how diabetes would have affected the pilot, but I guess everything needs to be taken into account.
