Horse Trough Longford, Tasmania, Australia
By ClockworkLemon on 12-Mar-13. Waypoint GA6250

A new container has been placed, and is no longer in an area where it will be under water.

Cache has become waterlogged again, so it has been disabled until a suitable replacement container can be found.

Have visited here before and passed by to admire this rather unique trough, the legs are special. Easily retrieved while reading the plaques.. thanks..!!

Even though GZ is a very exposed area this cache was retrieved without causing suspicion because of its very clever hide. We really enjoyed seeing this quite unusual horse trough. Thanks for the cache. Sorry for the late log.

A good size cache on a thing like this.....makes the finding thing a bit easier.

ClockworkLemon this was a cleaver easy find.

what a great horse trough, not at all what we expected. Sadly today it was dry and full of rubbish. A quick find as it was quiet. There was a sign on the Queens Arms stating they were closed today due to unforseen circumstances. TFTC

Quick find

Cache found high and dry - water in the GZ was green and yuk though (and garnished with an empty gin & coke can). TFTC!

Took a detour home via Longford and Cressy to get a few caches. Thanks for showing us this spot, very interesting. Loved the hiding spot. TFTC

Thought I would try early morning having read previous logs. A quick find but everything was saturated possibly after the thunderstorm and 30mm rainfall last night. Took it all for a drying drive on the dashboard to a nearby cache. All returned and secured. TFTC

Of course I interpreted the hint a little too literally & went down "there" when I should have gone down "there"! Then I discovered that the apparently empty & deserted pub was really just reflecting light off the window with perfect view of GZ for patrons within. Cripes, it's the middle of a Tues afternoon. Then (after surrepticious & furtive signing at conviently placed & appropriately designed seat) not one but two patrons of said establishment decided on lengthy phone calls staring out of said window. Grrr! Walkies time. Plus 5 minutes of very sus fake phone conversation on something that looked suspiciously like a GPS. If this is the last "found it" log you know who's responsible. Sorry.

was an easy find thanks

found it, nice historic cache, easy find!

A very quick find as the cache was visible as we walked up. Replaced it as tucked up as possible. Great trough, loved the legs.

A quick stop and grab on the way through town. TFTC

While walking the dog I thought it's about time I did another cache, easy find, tftc

Well done. TFTC

A nice easy find on a glorious day. Thanks for the cache

Found this cache as part of my and Geo Son E's caching and soccer trip to Burnie. Geo Kid E was playing in a regional cup in Burnie, so we left early and had a great time caching across to Marrawah and back through Burnie and Ulverstone areas.

Thank you for the cache

Very Clever cache hide

Easy find thanks to the clue. Luckily there was no one in the nearby pub window.

High muggle area like notes say but able to grab this one whilst everyone had their backs turned. Wonderful workmanship worth the look. Just as hard to replace.

Nice hide. I was expecting a sandstone trough not one made of actual horse limbs! A very unusual trough. The old "just one more" effect was making the journey back to Hobart take longer and longer (from Corinna...did we go the quicker way as suggested by the local?). Thanks for the very neat cache ClockworkLemon.

A quick find on our way back to Hobart.

A nice quick find by Dippy and our last cache for our West Coast trip was in the bag.
Getting very cold this late in the evening (or Im getting soft)
Thanks for the cache ClockWorkLemon

Nicely hidden! The clue made sense and sped up the find, given the amount of traffic around the place. SLTFTC!!!

1st for the day after camping the night at Bracknell recreation ground. A quick find thanks to the clue. Thanks.

A quick detour on our way home and a quick find due to the hint. There were people standing about nearby but made a discreet find at the lovely restored horse trough outside the heritage listed pub. Loved it. TFTC

Hi ClockworkLemon
After having my head shaved in the greatest shave today, we had to come north for a family do.
Dropped off to Longford on the way and quickly found your new cache.
I logged it at 1515hrs.
Used to have a lot of meals at the nearby establishment.
TFTC and cheers

We decided to call into Longford on our way from Hobart to home. It was about 4:30pm and muggles were few and far between. This made for an uncoomplicated inspection of the horse trough and, with the hint, a quick find was made. the cache and contents were in good condition. TFTC

Woo Hoo FTF @ 18:05 hrs. Made a quick find, no muggles about. Have driven past here many times but never stopped to appreciate this lovely old horse trough. Thanks for giving us a reason to and for the cache.
