The Eclipse container is no longer magnetic and does not stick to the metal. It was found on the ground amongst leaf debris. Still have no idea what the Hint means.

One of the caches we found on a caching run through the area. Found cache on ground - rehid in a higher location.

quick find while out caching with GooseandEgg

Hi OldSaint, 2y'stassies's bush rat must have been at it again. ep & I found the cache on the ground. All in good order though, and now duly signed by EeePees. Cache returned up higher, OBRHC, assuming its not IBRHC. THANKS.

OldSaint thanks for the cache.
I had found this one a while ago but it is today I noticed I hadn't logged it.

Travelling around Australia and spending a few months in Tasmania.

We had Dr's appointments in Kingston today but still managed to find a few caches before and after. Managed to dodge any rain today.

The hint made absolutely no sense to Mrs Felix but once read out to Mr Felix he rattled off the answer straight away!

After finding the couple of nearby GC's this one popped up as close by. The hint made no sense to these addled brains - until we found the cache that is & then it made perfect sense. There are clearly some very active cache guardians hereabouts as once again we found the cache IPS lying on top of the bark & whatnot. 2y's bush rat clearly doesn't want this to be here, or perhaps those bunyips have been doing what they do best. We replaced in the spot that made sense to us (now) but perhaps it needs some means of attachment thereto to prevent further "rubbish clearances". Alternatively, you could re-classify it as a movable!

Once the GPS settled down and we were no longer searching around the tree the cache was found easily.

Was in the area today after finding Bunyip Walk and thought I'd check this one as I found it on the ground and was keen to see where it should have been. As I approached there it was on the ground again so I put it up where I thought it might have been. There was a scuttling noise and the cache container flew back down to my feet. Thought that I must have got it wrong and this was Old Saint saying try again. Went round to check the inside of the building only to be greeted by a very angry bush rat glaring down at me from above the entrance. Guess replacing the cache had woken him up. As he was now at the other end of the building to the cache I put the cache back up. CO might like to check this one when next in the area. Thanks Old Saint for another interesting caching experience.

Checked and put the cache back in its proper hide in the BRHC.
Thanks 2y's
Cheers OldSaint.

Accurate coordinates led to a quick find, especially as the cache was on the ground and not covered. The cache and contents were in good condition. We saw a couple of places that the cache could have been located that were consistent with comments in the cache description but they were just so exposed that we didn't want to place the cache in any of these positions. Also, we did not see the significance of the hint. Hence we left the cache where we found it but covered it with some natural material from the area. It would be good if the CO could check this one and place the cache where it was originally intended. Thanks for the cache OldSaint.

We were heading to Huonville today but decided to go to Margate and crossover via the Sandfly Road enabling us to grab two of your caches.
Thanks for both of them Old Saint.

I looked for this the other day in the rain, and I swear the cache was not in the place I found it today.
But anyway, a quick find today in much better weather with noone around.
Thanks.

An easy find, but there is the remains of what may be a dead Bunyip just around the corner, so tread carefully !
Thanks for the cache, OldSaint !

A quick find while heading down to Huonville to find a few puzzle caches. TFTC

Hi Oldsaint

Read up on this cache before leaving and threw some roguh coordinates into the GPS in the car. Arrived at what I expected to be the location but the GPS was saying further away. Thinking it was rough coordinates I plugged the correct coordinates into my caching GPS and it agreed - wrong fire station. So a small drive to the next station and after walking around a bit I thought maybe there and there was the cache.

Gee Oldsaint, I reckon this fire station is as old as you, if not older. Shows in both respects they don't make them like that any more.

It was such a lovely morning when we got up that we decided to go caching. While planning our day we noticed that this was still unfound. Surprised by this we decided to go for a FTF. Once at GZ we located the cache quite quickly only to find gooseandegg had beaten us to the FTF by 10 minutes. Thanks OldSaint for giving us an excuse get out and about down to this part of the state once again. TFTC

FTF at 1100. I cant believe it sat unfound for this long! After signing the log, we were sitting in the Fenton Stand having coffee when another car pulled in and people hovered around GZ. Maybe we made it just in time! Wrote a quick found log on the GCA App so others knew it had been found. TFTC

Please replace as found to help the longevity of the cache.
Thanks and cheers
