Love the View 2 Devonport, Tasmania, Australia
By Wattle99 on 18-Sep-12. Waypoint GA4605

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.

If the owner can confirm it is in place the listing can be resurrected by placing an "unarchived" log against it.

I just checked Google road view and saw a large stump there. The stump is no longer there and it's just lawn now.

Nothing here matched the hint. GZ is in an open patch of lawn close to a pebbly area (photograph: GPS sits at GZ). Nothing to “Reach Up” (hint) to. Maybe there was a tree or something else here once, but not now. Difficulty is 1, so hide should be obvious and terrain is also 1, so wheelchair assessable, so that rules out adventures into the underground via the nearby stormwater pipes. Too many DNFs. Last found in 2014. Seems time to archive this and stop it showing up.

Visited Devonport again since 2 years ago.
Its not there.

We parked right at gz and luckily the other car was leaving as we got out to have a look. I reached into all the holes I could and I boosted the geokids to look in all the others but we couldn't locate the cache.
Thanks anyway wattle99. A nice view from here.

searched high and low, no luck...

Not so subtly climbed all over while pretending to admire the view, and did not locate the little rascal

One of a series of caches I found on my way to/from Devonport for work that I'm logging somewhat belatedly. TFTC!

Great spot! Enjoyed the walk along the shore. Muggles nearby but lifting up a geokid to have a climb was easy and inconspicuous. TFTC

A quick find and a Munzee included I see. No view today as it is low misty rain so the sea and the sky meld fairly well. Great object though - must have been impressive before the lopping.

TFTC and the boat.

out for a early morning walk and found this one without even looking thanks for cache

Nice quick find now that it is there! Thanks wattle99.

Great spot to sit and eat your lunch looking out to sea and the bluff. Quick find as I was nearly parked on GZ. First to sign new logbook as well. Thanks for the cache

Cache has been replaced. Hopefully it can live happily with a Number which has taken up residence since the cache was first listed.

Found a munzee but not a cache.

Reach up! more like go go gadget arms for the vertically challenged. Well we finally grasped this on signed replaced and headed off for the next find. Not to many muggles around this early even though the day was great tftc

This one was a tad more difficult for me, being vertically challenged.
But soon had cache in hand, signed and replaced before more muggles arrived.

Quick find on a beautiful day. TFTC

Found easily, but had to out wait some muggles to re-hide

Thanks!

Love the view here. Very muggly today with a warm long weekend. Thanks for organising the cache and bringing us here.

Many thanks Wattle99 for checking on this cache so promptly and for the replacement. Apart from having to twiddle our thumbs as a steady stream of muggles went by, it was a straightforward find in a location we had searched thorougly before. We can report, with some satisfaction, that the imposter (Munzee) was nowhere to be seen. Thanks for the cache and your prompt maintenance. Yes, and they views were different today but still spectacular.

Searched for a long time with two kids doing the walk over.......After returning home and reading other logs we now realise it must be missing or taken.

We too found the imposter (Munzee tag) but didn't find the cache despite one tall and one shorter person looking high and low for about 20 minutes. Given the previous log, we request that the cache owner please check this cache. Lovely location for a cache - pity it doesn't seem to be there.

Geoniece and I spent quite a while searching GZ for this cache. I had her on my shoulders with her searching hidey holes, doing lap after lap. Then I put her down and poked around in hidey places that I could reach (and I would class myself as tall) with no luck. Went back to lifing up geoniece, trying the same places again, because we both refused to believe that it wasn't in these places. After half an hour we gave up and went looking for the cache up near the lighthouse. We also found a Munzee up near the lighthouse and was surprised to see on the Munzee map, there was a Munzee right near this cache. So we came back.
And even more to our surprise the Munzee was the same GZ as this cache. So, we spent another 20 minutes looking for both cache and Munzee and came up with neither.

Hi wattle99
An early morning start this morning (0500hrs) leaving home at 0600hrs in order to meet Budgietas in Hobart to travel to Devonport to try and complete the Octogon series by 2y's tassies Octogon Series.
Left Hobart around 0700hrs and found a couple of caches on the way before starting the series.
The weather gods were very kind to us today; sunny, warm and fine.

The Bluff and Esplanade area of Devonport is one of my favourite spots on the North West Coast. Spent a lot of time here when living on the Coast, both personal time and as a teacher. No matter what the weather, the views here are always good. With this cache, we had a quick find and only got muggled after the cache had been replaced.
The log was signed at 1700hrs.

We achieved the objective of the day and I ended up with twenty-nine finds for the day, MY HIGHEST NUMBER OF FINDS IN A DAY.
Finally arrived back in Huonville at 2330hrs.

TFTC and cheers
OldSaint.

Found this cache during a road trip with Old Saint to find the Octogon Series in Port Sorell. We successfully found all 14 Octogon caches and another 14 or so as a bonus. It was a great and long day from Hobart, leaving at 7am and returning at 10pm.

A great location for a cache. Oldsaint found the cache, but was struggling to retrieve it so I managed to get the cache quite easily. Is there a cure for shortness?

Nice easy find.
Many thanks.

It was a cold wet place today but finding the cache made it worth while. Thanks to Wattle99 for hiding the cache.

Logging the other one in the series when noticed this one. As close by had a look without the GPS. A quick find and enjoyable to sit and watch the surf even though it wasn't very impressive today. Thanks.

An easy find between dog walking muggles. Amazing how the sunny weather brings them out! A lovely view of the bluff and the new surf club building. TFTC

Found while in Devonport for the day, an easy find. The waves were pounding in today and lots of muggles were enjoying the nearby playgroud.

Saw this last night. Thought I would drive into town and grab a FTF, but getting some sleep prevailed. Got up early to see if I could still get a FTF. What do you know Awesome I'm on a roll. FTF. Thanks Wattle99
