Description
Logs
We fear this one has gone awol. Forensically examined a certain pirate and ancilliary attachment, but the only possible clue were four velcro buttons on the back of said piece which we assume one held a container in place. May well need a maintenance check if this is still to be an active cache. Thanks to Wattle99 for the idea all the same. 
I have been meaning to stop here for sometime but every-time i came past they were closed or there were no parking spots,
Today while going to the bank for work there were no cars out the front so i pulled up and made a quick find to finally tick this one of the caching list.

I have attempted this cache many times while I have been up this way for work but I was always too early or too late to get a chance to find this one.
thanks so much for the cache

weekend out with SS Rat, Goose and Egg. stopped by this spot on the way past TFTC
Great to see this one after I missed it a couple of years ago....
Arrived just on opening time and watched as the Pirate was brought out to his usual position. Had a quick hello with shop owner and then grabbed the cache and signed the log. Cache was then returned and I was of to the next one.
Thanks wattle99.....also had a look around inside....very cool little place.

Really sorry for the late logging, cycling has taken over my life, and I'm waaaaay behind on logging found caches...
My first visit to Tasmania! We were here for a week for the Mersey Valley Tour cycling race, and had a fantastic time! After the racing I had time to explore a bit around town and find a few caches. I enjoyed the walk along the foreshore here, thanks for the cache wattle99!

We called on this cache some months ago, it was one we fancied to find. Unfortunately it was gone. We planned a visit to Devonport and was surprised to see this one was back and we were the first fto ind it since its replacement. Thanks Wattle, if I could give 10 thumbs up we would

Stopped by this one the way past....found the item where the cache was to be, but alas nothing but velcro strips. Decided to ask inside if they knew anything about it.......and the answer was that it has been missing for a long time....and they hadn't seen the CO for a while, so were non the wiser as to what to do.
From the conversation I gathered the owners might be ok with a replacement cache...so might be something to think about. However, for me for now, its just a DNF....
Thanks anyway Wattle99....might be best to check it out or archive it...as it's certainly gone.

Argh me hearties. We found this fellow on our walk past. Thankfully no-one out front today. Thankyou for organising the cache. TNLNSL. TFTC.
No chance to even look for this one as a muggle sat on a stool outside for so long I gave up.Had to pretend I was terribly interested in some football paraphernalia to retrieve and replace this one! Fun! Thanks
Let the better half do some distracting shopping whilst the kids made pirate sound. TFTC - treasure!
Just off the plane from NZ, and had GA caches loaded into Orgon by GSAK. Sunday morning, went hunting for this one... up and down, over and back. Hint - looking for a sign....
Read more - oh, duh, and hello! Not on a Sunday!

Ahoy there wattle99!
It was good to meet you yesterday. So here is the first of those logs you were expecting.
Had tried to get this cache on one previous occasion but the shop was closed so it was a non-event.
As we passed by this site yesterday, Anne said she'd like to look through as one of her interests is antiques. So after leaving the motel, we headed for the shop so that she could eye off the treasures inside while I logged the cache.
A quick find, the log was signed at 1053hrs.
Left Anne to look around and went off in search of other booty in the neighbourhood.
TFTC and cheers; OldSaint.

Found this one under the old name, but have been back to resign the log book and reclaim the find.
I for one thought the original cache did not break the guidelines and even wrote to the umpire and let him know this
