A quick find when we reached ground zero. It was a cold and gloomy day but that didn't put us off what turned out to only be a fairly short walk. The coordinates were good and the hint was very useful. Thanks for the cache
Hi budgie,
After completing the Ready Aim Fire series we decided to grab a couple of gca caches while in the swansea area before heading home via Lake Leake,
This was a straight forward find although it felt like we walked down through someones property to get down to this one. TFTC

Today, on our 40th Wedding Anniversary, we decided to travel to Swansea for lunch and to collect a few caches on the way and after. In total we travelled over 400 km and this was one of the caches we found. Swansea is always a great to place to visit. There were some nices houses here. Another in the series ticked off. TFTC

#GA4036 - 15:15; After a night in Coles Bay, now headed for Hobart and stopped by for this cache. It took a little bit of a search, but eventually came up with the gods. Nice to add another in this series to the found column! TFTC Budgietas

a late log found a year earlier but only logged when I helped someone else find it.
TFTC Budgietas!
Found with KingSmev and former finder rld4963, plus one muggle mate.
Was in Swansea today for a BBQ catchup with a group of Mrs EeePee's long term mates from way back, including Lil Rafa.
We 14 with 4 canines enjoyed our walk down Gordon Street to the boat ramp, then south as far as this one, then back northwards around the point, up as far as the pier, and eventually back to the shack near Gordon Street.
A great spot with great views. Pity abouts the wrecks, but I guess they are now part of the landscape and part of the history.
THANKS.

Approached this one from the beach and after a bit of scrambling up the rocks soon had cache.

"Hello Budgietas thank you for the cache.
On the way back to get some more of your caches I stopped off to get this one.
I had been near here to find another cache many years age, isn't it a great view.
Found on Sunday 28 July 2019 at 1037

After finding the GC cache at the other end of the beach we wandered along to this one. Mr Beetle waited below while I climbed to this one. Not an easy task in thongs but I got there and back safely. Probably would have been easier to access from the suggested way. Thanks.
Thanks for the cache Budgietas. Out and about with RLD4963 on a weekend away up the East Coast, decided to grab some caches along the way. We had a lovely morning in Bicheno, and stopped off at Swansea on the way home to see if we could find a couple more before having to head home. We found all the caches we searched for this weekend. We had great weather, with magnificent views all the way, so a great weekend with great company. This was the last cache we had time to search for before heading home - took a few minutes and eventually the hiding place was found. Log signed and cache returned to it's hiding place. Cheers.

After spending a large part of the day caching along 7 mile beach we decided to head north via the east coast. We noticed that this cache had yet to be found so stopped to look for it.
What a lovely area for a cache. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to this little spot that we would not have found if this cache had not been here.
Accurate coordinates made for a quick find of a well hidden cache container. We were surprised that the log was blank giving us a {FTF} at 16:55.
Thanks for this ICEM cache Budgietas. We hope this one lasts.
