Description
Autumn is a wonderful season.
After spring and summer when plants, bushes and trees are putting on new growth and there is a magnificent range of green tones, the increasingly cooler period of autumn leads to the foliage of deciduous trees changing colour before the leaves fall and the trees become dormant for winter. The ranges of colours can be superb and can change on a daily basis.
The Summer Scavenger Series is coming to an end but thankfully Summer is still wih us. However, some plants are already starting to change colour heralding the coming autumn season.
The cache location is one where there can be some very interesting autumn colours. If you find the cache in the near future, make every effort to return a couple of times in the March to May period to enjoy the Autumn tones.
Another great place to enjoy autumn foliage is the nearby The Tasmanian Arboretum located at 46 Old Tramway Road, Eugenana near Devonport (S41 13.762 E146 17.994).

Logs
On my way to a CITO Event at Ulverstone and I did a detour to collect a few caches along the way. Fortunately the rain had subsided to a subdued roar by the time I reached GZ so a quick grab and sign the log in the car before a quick return. Cache and contents are in good condition.

A quick find, which was handy, wanted to get moving before we attracted the interest of those over the road.
No autumn tones today, it's almost the middle of winter; but we've been blessed with fab weather on our trip.
Found with AlbyDangles on day Five of the 'Bust' leg of our "Kempsey or Bust" tour.
Cheers, EPs.

Arrived just as someone else did, and after watching them head up the driveway, I was out of the car and quickly had the nicely camo'd cache in hand. Log was signed and it was then back in the car and gone.
Thanks for another one 2y'stassies.....

We headed out for a day of caching with Tassie Trekkers and targeted Ulverstone and surrounds. We were amazed how nice and green the beautiful country side was. We had a lovely tour of the area. We are enjoying participating in the States of the Nation games which are currently running from 16 December 2017 until 21 January 2018.
States of the Nation is a real and virtual geocaching scavenger hunt where your home state will compete against other Australian states to find and hide geocaches. Over the 5 week course of the game there will be hundreds of scavenges that you can track down, find and convert into points for your state. Some scavenges will be easy. Some scavenges will be tough. Some scavenges may be impossible. Don't despair. You are not competing just for yourself; you are competing as a state.
There will be a number of scavenges released on a weekly basis but each scavenge will remain until the end of the game. This means even if you decide to join the game part way through, the early scavenges are still available for you to claim. Scavenges will require you to find a geocache, hide a geocache, attend an event or do something else completely different. The game focuses on all aspects of geocaching and so all cache types, sizes, terrain and difficulty will be up for scavenging. TrigPoints, Events, History, Virtual, Webcam, Podcache and Locationless geocaches are all scavengable, so you're not just looking for a box under a bush. Each week there will be a mix of physical, non-physical and locationless geocaches so even if you are not in a geocache rich area, use the locationless component of scavenger series to get out, find something to log and gain points for your state. If you watch the scavenges as they are released you might also spot the 'not so hidden' patterns and plan for future weeks of the series.
Hiding geocaches will also be a large part of the scavenger series, but please remember this is a game of geocaching and geocaches that you hide should be long lasting, be of good quality and you should be proud of what you hide. Please avoid hiding a geocache just for the day so your state can find it before you archive it. Geocaches that exist for a short period of time may result in any claims on that geocache being disqualified. Play creatively, but also play fairly. More geocachers hiding more geocaches makes for more geocaching fun.

First for the day as we head to Turners Beach to walk the dogs and grab a few new caches.
Good to get back in to the swing of things although we did overshoot this one.
A busy road but managed to grab this one between passing muggles. Thanks.

Suddenly had an unexpected opportunity to do some caching so decided to try to grab a couple that we could claim as scavenges. A quick find at GZ with the aid of accurate coordinates and the hint. TFTC
Out and about for the 
Summer Scavenger Series 2016/17
