This geocache appears to be MIA so to stop it clogging the search lists we'll archive it. This is done to keep the Geocaching Australia clean and up to date.

While Checking Childhood Swimming Spot i decided to come further up the road to have a look for this one again with a better GPS this time,
was standing at ZERO which was in the middle of nowhere, so i searched in everything in a 20m Radius from 0 but could not locate it. so Disappointed to say the least.

Searched high and low for the cache but no where to be found at gz, as it hasn’t been found in years is it even still there?
CO needs to investigate whereabouts of the cache.

Hi MOEYY
The first day of a four day trip racking up 1535kms Starting at Huonville to Ulverstone (Night One); to Marrawah (Night 2); Arthur River back to Burnie (Night 3) and day four to Launceston and back to Huonville - a great trip!
This was the fourth cache of the trip. The Subi handled the trip to the cache with ease.
This one had been a bucket lister for a long time - always too far to walk but the 4WD Subaru made the task that much easier
Finding the right track up was the hardest part of finding the cache - plenty of rubbish on the side of the track.
Enjoyed the views
Found quickly even though the preconceived idea I had in my head had me search in a couple of places that revealed no cache
Sainted the cache at 1550hrs.
TFTC and cheers

An afternoon jaunt with the family along this dirt track. Passed a couple of trail bike riders, Then further along passed a shady character with some native plants poking out from the tail gate of his ute. I think he took a wrong turn to the nursery. Anyway, we reached GZ with a great view as promised.TFTC
Found on my way to Offroad Playground.
Good views and an easy find.
Many thanks.

Many thanks.
Walked up from Offroad playground. Very steep toward the power lines...have lost some fitness me thinks....no worries as these caches will sure help. Found in first spot I looked...Montana reading 0m...impressed with its performance so far...also very good compass leading straight to caches...but does help when the co-ords are spot on.Good views from up here...now to return...boggy in spots. An enjoyable walk for two caches....many thanks Moeyy...Cheers.

Its a drive-by but company cars will go anywhere. TFTC

Drove as far as we could on the power line track then walked directly to GZ. A very steep route and probably not the best one. After a short search we found the cache. TFTC
Although we have a 4WD it has low clearance. So, we decided to leave the car about 650m away (as the crow flew) and walk. It was somewhat of a circuitous route over Transend tracks and bush tracks but it didn't take too long to get near GZ. Once there it took a few minutes for our GPS to really settle down but when it did and we stopped getting distracted by what could have been hiding spots, we found the coordinates to be spot on. Overall it took about 10 minutes to locate the cache. We haven't been up here before and, yes, the views are great especially with the heavy snow cover on the highlands to the south. Thanks for another interesting cache Moeyy. FTF at 16:35.
