Elements On the Beach West Ulverstone, Tasmania, Australia

New log book in plastic bag added and contents cleaned up

Found today. The log was missing so I used one of the soaked swaps to sign a log. I didn't have any replacement logs with me. So there is a kind of log in with the stash note.

Unfortunately I have had to resort to using my phone as a GPSr. My little faithful Garmin died recently and I couldn’t resurrect it. Then again, the poor little thing is 8 years + old. I can’t complain really. Anyway TFTC

Today I found this cache after solving the puzzle. Followed the gps the solved co ordinance where I found a very clever hiding spot. The cache container was open and full of water so I drained the water out. There was no logbook in this container so I couldn’t log my name. But I found it at 11:15am on the 14-4-19 TFTC

Crossed the tracks, parked the car and took the walk back to GZ. Without the hint I doubt I would have found it, so thanks for that. Thought the terrain rating might have been higher, but certainly happy to have found the cache anyway.

Thanks for another one 2y'stassies...

I recognized this puzzle straight away. Helps to work in the field. This is the closest cache to where the listed coords are and I'm staying and it was a lovely spot to wander along today to GZ. Great to find such large well camoed caches.

We spent some time nutting out some puzzles a couple of nights ago and decided to spend a couple of days in the Ulverstone region and see what we could find - and hopefully add to the Tasmanian cause for the States Of The Nation summer 2017/18 game. Thanks so much 2y'stassies for your efforts in providing so many great and varied puzzles to solve and then hiding and maintaining such well stocked caches. Awesome effort by you guys and we had a great couple of days.

Another 2y'stassies cache that I found today, well hidden but in good condition and just where I thought it would be. Thanks for the puzzle which I solved some time ago but haven't had the time to come down to find. Now I can use it for the Christmas in July competition

Catching up with some logs I missed while on a caching trip in the Northwest with GooseandEgg. Sorry I put them off and then lost my fieldnotes.
Thanks for another great cache.

This was a straight forward solve back home on the PC. It wasn't quite beach weather yet but we figured we'd check it out regardless. We pulled up and had a few catching things to sort out here. This was first up so we went and checked out the elements. My look for the cache was next to useless but my old (ok he's younger than me) mate came up with the find. I knew I brought him for a reason
All in good order

Mr Beetle did the solving so he waited in the car with the dogs while I made the short trek to this one which was quickly found thanks to the generous clue and accurate coodinates. Have solved the 2 nearby ones but 2 dogs that are bred to pull and thongs meant that we left searching for them today but will return soon. Thanks.

Wibble, wooble oh my knees, but cache found and logged. Great hide, when I saw it thought it was obvious location and was surprised to see no cache then llifted creepers a bit more and oh joy.

Found while out caching with Oldsaint.

Sainted at 1605hrs.

Out and about for the Summer Scavenger Series 2016/17 and grabbed this one whilst in the area as we had solved it in readiness for this trip.

A simple puzzle that took us back to our school days, a quick find due to accurate co ordinates and hint after rock hopping there.

Thanks 2y'stassies for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.

We wandered along the rocky shore early in the afternoon with the sun sparkling on the sea - very nice indeed. It was almost low tide so there were quite a lot of rock pools and even the odd small patch of sand exposed. Its a great little walk to and from Goat Island and there were a few other people about - but no one near GZ. We soon found the large cache nicely camouflaged to blend in with the greenery. Made no swaps. Thanks 2y'stassies.

Another good puzzle. Tide was out so rockhopped to another well stocked cache. TFTP

Another puzzle, wow! The coordinates were easier to work out than the walk along the beach, knew what this beach was like but still didn't wear sturdy shoes. As we were making our way back to the cachemobile we met someone going in the direction of the cache but not sure if another cacher or just a random muggle. TFTC

All elementary...dear Watson. Soon sorted puzzle...coords had me within 1m...but for life of me didn't spot it....but new it had to be close by...sure enough...there it was. Way larger than expected...very well stocked to. Thoroughly enjoyed the hunt..getting my share of exercise....but will pull the pin..as getting too hot for this old dog.
Ripper cache 2y'stassies....cheers ST.
Btw....no other logs..so a bonus FTF...heha.
