Description
This is a Challenge cache
The geocache is hidden at the listed coordinates but you may not log it as Found until you have completed the associated challenge.
Your challenge is to find an ICEM geocache in 5 different Australian states (ACT and NT are treated as states by dragonZone). An ICEM cache must have "icem" as a public tag placed on it by the cache owner. You cannot include ICEM caches you own.
If you believe you have met the challenge requirements, click on the "Challenge Checker" link on the right side of the geocache listing page. If you qualify you will be given a unique codeword that you will need to include with your "Found It" log. This codeword is unique to you and cannot be used by other caching teams.
About ICEM Caches
ICEM (I've Cached Everywhere Man) caches are unique to GCA. The idea of an Australia wide series began in 2011. The placement of caches was based on a modified version of the Geoff Mack song "I've Been Everywhere Man" sung by Lucky Starr. Extra verses covering states not included in the original song were written by Hookline, Trigg_A_Nomics and geono. Over time caches have been placed by a number of caching teams in all Australian states. Currently there are over 110 live ICEM caches making this the longest cache trail in Australia.
Use this ICEM Link to find out more detail.

The Cache
The cache is a 1L sistema hidden in an area often frequented by visiting cachers. There are 5 GCA and 2 GC caches near by.
You can see the ferries arriving and leaving from vantage points nearby. Many cachers start or finish their geocaching travels with a trip across Bass Strait on one of the ferries.

A drive up to Devonport with Budgie on a rare day off. This was the only GCA cache we found, at my insistence. We poked around whilst the GPS settled and once it did went straight to it.
Lovely on the bluff this morning but the weather turned a bit later in the day
Thanks 2y'stassies
We parked at the lighthouse with the intention of grabbing this cache and Highlight of Devonport.
This one was tackled first and a quick find made at GZ.
Always good to get a FTF and I suspect that quite a few of the local geocachers will struggle to meet the criteria for this one.
Thanks 2Y'STASSIES.
