Nicely hidden little cache. Plenty going on over at the park, but all quiet on this side. Took a minute but soon had the cache in hand from it hidey hole...
Thanks Tassie Trekkers......liked it.

After a short bike ride we returned to Tailrace park to return to the car.
There were no muggles over this side so we popped across to have a look. Cache was in the 2nd spot we looked.
Had the cache in hand and then bam, a group of muggles were coming past. Signed the log and waited till they were
gone before replacing the cache.
Nice peaceful spot.

TFTC found while out walking today. Where is it? Sit down and thought for a minute then I found it.
Very tricky indeed. As I sat and pondered after not seeing anything obvious on the seat or around it I started the 'I wonder if' scenarios and then suddenly I had it in my hand. Loved it!
A sad point however, we came here to take the kids to the maze (as the really wanted to visit a maze) and it has gone . But as the whole playground seems to have had a major upgrade there was plenty to keep them happy. TFTC

Sorry but I couldn't find it.
It may be there but I just couldn't find it.

One of those rare birds I walk up to & put my hand on it straight away, even though it was cunningly concealed. Other times these sort of hides would take me ages (or a DNF). I'll have to remember this spot for similar "situations".

Ooh I like this hide. Great spot to rest up and enjoy this glorious summers day. TFTC
What a nice little hide, lots of ducks around today and they all started waddling up when I parked. This is a nice restful area close to water to sit back and reflect. TFTC

I found this a couple of days ago as my first proper find, easy but good spot

Whilst Mummy was at an event in Launceston today, the boy and toddled around to grab some caches. It was a slow start but got better as the afternoon went on. This is a well hidden cache. TFTC.

Well done a very clever hide. On approach I could see where other cachers had tried ideas and I soon had the cache in hand and logged. Thanks for the cache. Took nothing left nothing
Very well done Love this park, has it all. Found on a cold windy but a bit sunny winters day.
Very clever. Nice work and well done. Lovely park here also. TNLN. Thanks for organising the cache.

A very clever hide indeed! TFTC - you went to a fair bit of trouble to set this up - much appreciated. Now I wonder if you have used this 'pattern' to set up others in Launceston parks with similar SITting situations?!

hmmm. poke here prod there. nope. sit a while and think. how about trying that. aaah got ya. thanks for the fun
Lovely day to be at the Tailrace today. Lots of people out walking their dogs and playing in the area. Guessed the hide but dismissed it initially. Decided to give it another go while the male half of this duo wandered around in the trees and a cache was found. Love the hide. TFTC.
While my wife attended a conference in Launceston I was allowed to go caching for two days in and around the Launceston Area. In the end I managed to go through to Derby and get the icem cache I wanted to find, through to Kayena and check my caches there and clear out the majority of Launceston Traditionals that were actually there. The only one that I failed to get was "Power to the People", where I simply ran out of time.
A great cache that I found fairly quickly given its hide quality. Well done on this one.
Thank you for the cache

We thought this was a great hide although we were lucky enough to find fairly quickly. Thanks heaps Tassie Trekkers for this cache.

Well, Tassie Trekkers;
Guess your sick of hearing from me today? How many does this make?
Arrived at ground zero car park and it was almost empty today.
Likewise, thw eind has dropped and the rain has not eventuated so I'm still caching and loving it. The better half is having her hair done, so there's no need to rush for that reason either.
Started walking towards it and it's not that one. Have to go further, so back and lock the car and on to ground zero.
Mmmmm!! Yes, it has to be. Very clever hide! Found quickly and the log was signed at 1457hrs as my ninth of eleven finds for the day.
No muggles in the area made it easier than I would imagine it would be at other times.
Watching a pelican land on the water from full flight was a bonus that came with this cache. Swans a swimming added to the experience.
TFTC and cheers; OldSaint.

Found this one with my daughter and granddaughter while Mr Sharnie's Tribe was at the football. Good hide. TFTC
A great spot for a cache. A great hide that will only improve with time. Well done. Thanks

Excellent little cache. My daughter found this one quite rapidly and was like a cat with two tails. I reckon if it sits for a bit without being found it'll become much harder. Like a good wine, just needs a bit of ageing! Thanks for another enjoyable cache.

An interesting hide, but easily found with a bit of thought. Thanks TT's.

Excellent hide but found rather quickly. The large amount of water coming through the power station into the tailrace made a spectacular scene today. TFTC Tassie Trekkers.
