A bit of team work soon had this one solved.
We parked below and unloaded the bikes and headed off to grab a few caches in the area.
It was pretty challenging riding but we got there in the end.
The GPS was jumping all over the place but it was pretty obvious where this one was going to be and after a bit of fossicking around the large container was soon located.
Thanks.

out and about with Lil Rafa caching in launy, collected this only after completing a night cache we were just in the right spot for the find. it's dark at night and everything seems so different, was a good night to search, not cold or windy or raining.
Thanks for this mystery cache Tassie Trekkers. I'm pretty sure I solved this one way back when it was published but have never had the chance to go looking for it (and all the others in this area).
This weekend RLD4963 and I were in Launceston and it turns out we were in a very convenient place this evening, so we were able to add this one to our finds for the weekend.

Journey or Destination
Game Period: 01-Dec-2018 00:00:00 to 31-Jan-2019 23:59:59 AEST
It is sometimes said [citation needed] that the game of geocaching is not about the destination it is about the journey. This game is about the choices you make in the experience of the journey or the destination.
On your entry to the game you will be asked to create a playing field with a number of ground tiles. Your playing field is a grid 20 x 20 ground tiles making a total number of 400 possible steps you can take on your journey or destination. You choose whether you want to find and follow the path or whether you wanted to meander around. A playing field is unique to each player so there is no benefit in teaming up to beat the system through brute force.
For each qualifying geocache that you hide or find during the game period you will be offered the opportunity to click on a ground tile and reveal what lies beneath. There are a number of different ground tiles that will be revealed when you click on your playing field. It should be noted that there are no punishments for clicking a tile but there will not always be the reward you were hoping for as you reveal each tile.
Dirt. The ground beneath the ground tile is just plain old brown dirt.
Dirt with some points. The ground beneath the tile is brown dirt but it has some points associated with it.
Concrete. The ground beneath is part of the pathway that will lead you on your way to your destination but has no point value.
Start. A concrete ground tile that has a blue map marker.
Destination. A ground tile that has a green map marker.
Meandering around and avoiding the path will accumulate points that will be used to place on you the ladder of wanderers. The more you stay off the path the higher the number of points you will accumulate and it will be your journey that will be the determining factor in whether you place into a prize winning position. You are free to select any ground tile to click on; they do not need to be next to each other.
Trying to find the path may mean you strike out on the dirt until you eventually come across the path and as a geocacher who can't say that this isn't a tried and true method. Once you find the path however will you try and follow the path as it changes direction around your playing field? Do you go North, South, East or West to try and find the next concrete tile along the path? If you head one way are you heading towards the start or towards the destination? When you do happen upon the destination tile then you will automatically be in a winning position.
At any point you are free to change from the journey to the destination and vice versa but you won't be able to regenerate your playing field. You are also free to keep playing as long as you have qualifying geocaches, accumulating more and more dirt tile points and placing you higher and higher on the ladder.
Qualifying geocaches fall into two categories. Finds and Hides.
A qualifying find is a geocache that meets the following criteria:
The geocache is listed at Geocaching Australia
The geocache has a hidden date prior to the game commencing
The geocache was logged by you on the Geocaching Australia website during the game period
The geocache was physically found by you during the game period
The geocache is not owned by you unless it is a moveable geocache
The geocache has not previously been found by you during the game period
The geocache is one of the following types:
Burke and Wills
Moveable (you will qualify only once for a find on a moveable geocache)
Traditional
TrigPoint
Augmented Reality
Beacon
Gadget
Multi-cache
Night Cache
Podcache
Reverse
Unknown or Mystery
A qualifying hide is a geocache that meets the following criteria:
The geocache is listed at Geocaching Australia
The geocache has a hidden date after the game has commenced
The geocache was published on the Geocaching Australia website during the game period
The geocache has a container size of regular or larger (Note: A regular geocache has a volume of 1 litre or more)
The geocache is one of the following types:
Moveable
Traditional
Augmented Reality
Beacon
Gadget
Multi-cache
Night Cache
Podcache
Reverse
Unknown or Mystery
The game tracking mechanism relies upon your honesty when logging geocaches as found or hidden.
The games administrators will undertake verification of a statistically significant number of logs.
Players who continually log inaccurate information will be disqualified from the game. The game administrators decision is final.
The game administrators will subtract qualifying hide or find geocaches from your tally if they are found to be not genuine.
The game administrators reserve the right to provide clarifications to the rules at any point during the game.
Don't forget to claim your limited time game trophies, if your qualify, while the game is in progress. Once the game completes the ability to claim your trophies is lost for ever.

I couldn't work out this cache for the life of me, I had to get onto the cache owners to get the correct co-ordinates as the source info seems to have changed. If they have, here is a hint for anyone trying it: 1st set of co-ords, 5th number + 1; 2nd set, 7th number - 2. Anyway, eventually found it and then it started to rain...what a cache!

Decided to do a few geocaches today after a nearly 3 year hiatus. Enjoyed the puzzle (once I found the correct list LOL). Who would've thought there could be so many different versions. Thanks Tassie Trekkers. It's good to be back!

the egg and I teamed up with stainless-steel-rat and TazScout to score some points for the current game. We enjoyed all 5 puzzle caches of yours this morning. Thanks Tassie Trekkers

It's taken us over 4 months to get ourselves to this "must do" cache. Life is intervening far too often in our caching career. Why was it a "must do" for us? Well, only because it offered another chance to "brag". Way before we became geocaching nuts we were nutty in another way as peak baggers. So we can claim to have "bagged" 11 of this top 20 list including Ossa & Frenchmans. Yes, Wellington had to be "done" from at least the Springs & not the summit carpark!
Thanks Tassie Trekkers for not placing this cache in the cairn of one of these peaks as they're a bit beyond our capabilites these days. In fact retrieval took almost zero pediatric effort.

Took me a little while to get the correct list of mountains. Once the puzzle was solved it was a quick find at very accurate coordinates TFTC Tassie Trekkers
Hi Trekkers
The co-ords for this cache were worked out some time ago but today was the first opportunity to go look for the cache
Enjoyed solving the puzzle, like the others in the "series."
Sainted as a must do before leaving Launceston at 0722hrs with a quick, easy find
TFTC and cheers

We enjoy solving puzzles so were happy to see this one. After an initial false start we changed approach and soon had coordinates that the geochecker liked.
This was the final cache on our list for the Trevallyn area today and proved a little more difficult to retrieve due to the presence of several muggles. We out waited the first and after a short hunt located the well hidden container. Had just opened it when the sound of a car slowing heralded the arrival of another muggle. We jumped back in the car where we proceeded to sign the log. Another empty log book gave us a fourth {FTF} for the day at 12:10.
It took a while for the muggle to finish his phone call and drive away. We were able to replace the cache before the next muggle pulled up.
Thanks Tassie Trekkers for another nice puzzle and a good hide.

List of mts. by height doesn't make sense....depends on what list you use I guess.
End up with large double digits?????
