Description
New ICEM
This geocache is part of the I've Cached Everywhere Man series, based on the song noted below.Waratah is in GCA Verse 9 by geono. Waratah is located in the north section of the west coast of Tasmania. There is a waterfall in the town centre and in late Spring the local waratahs will be flowering.
I've Cached Everywhere, Man is the largest cache series hidden in Australia. It is made up of the locations made famous by Lucky Star in the song "I've been everywhere" in 1962, lyrics by Geoff Mack. As there are so many other great places in Australia to cache at, a few members of the Geocaching Australia community have added verses as seen below.
Well, I was humpin' my bluey on the dusty Oodnadatta road,
When along came a semi with a high and canvas-covered load.
(Spoken) "If you're goin' to Oodnadatta, mate, um, with me you can ride."
So I climbed in the cabin and I settled down inside.
He asked me if I'd seen a road with so much dust and sand, I said
"Listen, mate, I've travelled ev'ry road in this here land."
Chorus:
Cos "I've cached everywhere, man,
I've cached everywhere, man.
'Cross the deserts bare, man;
I've breathed the mountain air, man.
Of travel I've had my share, man.
I've cached ev'rywhere.

Found the cache in first spot I tested with all in exc condition.
Great to finally nab this cache along with a couple of GC's.
Many thanks 2y'stassies for another top ICEM cache....thoroughly enjoyed...cheers ST.
Perhaps it has been pushed up higher than we could reach or perhaps we were just cache blind.
Will keep an eye on this one and see if any other cachers can find it. With such a long time since it was published and still no find, we do wonder if it has been muggled. The sign is a bit dented on one side but probably not enough to dislodge the container.
Thanks.
