TIGER DRAGON WALK Elphin, Tasmania, Australia
By robtas on 29-Jul-07. Waypoint GC14Q4E

I think the tiger walked away. time for it to go

disabled until we can check it.

We found the right place according to the hint. We also found the water pistol and the plastic dog.
It's not there.
Time for a temporary disabling.

Couldn't find it this time.
Found a small hole near a rock and white water sprinkler head but there was nothing there:(

We did find an orange water pistol in a hole in the wall so We added a plastic collie dog.

The Pack

gave up couldnt find

Didnt find this one. But we also didnt have the clue, I think we did pick that rock up, I remember seeing it! We also had a poke in the wall as we didnt have the discription either! Found a water pistol in a hidy hole, nicely hidden! very strange!

Found the sprinkler mentioned, and the rock with the hole underneath, but as with the previous log, there was no cache.

found rock over turned and the hole in the ground but the cache was gone. looks like it went missing very recently. dwhite774.

I have not been here since I was a kid so thanks for bringing me back.

a quick find at dusk, on our lonny cache crazy weekend

Fount this one a while back but just discovered I didnt log it. great spot hadnt been to that area since I was a kid and was surprised but the changes.

Found quite easily this morning, third for the day. Pretty spot. Left a pink pig, took nothing. Signed log TFTC
Greynomads and friend

Beaten by some caravaners to GZ on this one. Didn't spot them though.

Quick find while a nearby couple were pashing on the grass [:0] and not paying attention to us. All the small muggle action was in the play ground lower down. TNLN SL TFTC.

12:30 Found on our Touring Tassie and Beyond 2009 Trip!

Our first find it town, on what was a very nice and quiet Good Friday. With M navigating things are always going to be done in a round about way, but in the end we got to GZ with minimal interferance. M redeemed himself by finding and grabbing the cache from its buggy home

This was the start of our walking tour around town, which we really enjoyed and look forward to coming back to

Nice little cache, protected by heaps of giant ants.
TNLNSL TFTC #507

The Cache will be replaced as from this evining as promised.
Happy hunting.

Enjoyed the "Tiger Trail".
Well the cache was open and more than a little mushy! Therefor unable to sign the log due to this, I will replace it when next past as I work in the area.
More than a few muggles in the area but this is to be expected! LOL.
Thanks "Robtas".

Container squashed, and contents soggy :+{

was a little dissappointed in this, as I felt like a bit of a creep, lurking round the shrubbery near where parents were playing with their kids...only to find that the container was crushed by the rock, and the contents were wet and mushy.
didn't sign log, well as it was wet and mushy.
Interesting tiger trail though.
Thanks Robtas...

Enjoyed the art work. However, the sprinklers where on in the area I wanted to be. I made it in there, but not without getting all wet. TNSL. The muggles in the area, where probably wondering why I was all wet Guess it comes with the geocaching territory!!

found on a break from the festivities at festivale
tftc

Cool walk - the geohusband loved it - especially the parts about the Thylacine.


Thanks for the cache.

changed placing and hint

maintained

need to check this one

Ditto.
What they all said.
We bought an icecream instead.

No luck for me today either.
As others have said, much of the structure has been pulled down, so likely this cache has been muggled.
BTW Clue should be more serpentine than thylacine!

No luck for us today. We think we were in the right place but there seems to be more rocks on the ground than in the wall.

With luck, we'll get another chance to look before we leave town.

Got to GZ and it looks to me that some muggles have got to the cache first there seems to be a big hole ripped out of the wall where it may have been!
TY

found this one ages ago. noted that previous cacher had noted wall that was from a water main leaking it is still in the wall

Found this one without to much trouble. Day was fairly cool so not to many ankle biters around. Not the sort of tiger I envisioned so pleasantly suprised when we found it. Thanks robtas

Great day for a play in the park with the kids, great cover too! Took coin and left socket set thanks! No muggles about in the area but plenty in the park below

got ya.........second try for this
sure i looked here the last time
all is well
ty

WOOT! I nearly wasn't going to try again for this one today but the weather was perfect muggle deterent so couldn't pass it up as i need the combo for "well rounded Cacher". Someone has found it recently and left a GORGEOUS wishing coin! I always enjoy coming to this spot because we used to homeschool - really lovely little path but thought the hunt might be frustrating . Left an unactivated geocoin for next finder.

NB: the rock wall has sections newly collapsed or vandalised? looks quite unstable in parts DON"T MOVE ANY ROCKS - something could fall and land on your hand!! Or crush a kid. You don't need to move any rocks - it was sitting there midway up - quite a geo trail. the clue is wrong - look at dragon head.

getting to late in the day.........lots of muggles about.......will return for another look some other time...........maybe after it is found again.......just so we know it's there.

Whilst I parked the car Chip went in for what we hoped would be a quick find, but the clue led Chip astray... I turned up and disregarded the clue and thankfully found the cache.

Cheers

Found with Hoojar... Well more thanks to hoojar. I was a little confused with the hint... it said closer to the tiger's head... but it was actually the dragon's head it was close to... not the other way around.


cheers.

NIce Spot, Hope i did not get to much sunburn Lovely day! Easy Find would be a great lunchtime cache with a picnic!
TNLN Thanks for the Cache

6.15am
Found by Roma and Max.
We had no trouble with drunks or any itinerates for that matter, this time of the morning!
Followed your instructions and made an easy find.
Thanks again robtas.
From Romax.

What an interesting cache. Arrived about 2235 and scared off the muggle sitting at the table. Started looking for the cache and we were sprung by a drunk muggle that snuck up on us without a sound - would make a great cacher.
After asking the question "Yes?", he moved away and just stood at the other end of the dragon, without moving for a long time. The other muggle we scared off returned and sat down.
The drunk one then proceeded back to where we were hiding, and was about to relieve himself when I turn on my torch, shone it in his face and told him there was a better place to do that. On that note, he sauntered off to other parts of the park and the sitting muggle left as well.
After the 15 minutes mugglican stand-off, I finally found then cache.
Took TB, LN. Thanks robtas.

Found it at dusk. The sky had a brilliant red hue. The WP leads to feature rather than cache. Had to use the hint which was misleading. It was the other feature to the hint. Left TB Miss Piggy's Key. TFTC.

Had great fun finding this cache by torchlight with Snuva. Lovely place at night.

Found by torch light with MullinItOvr. I'd like to return in the daylight as what I could see of the 'Tigerr Dragon Walk' looked interesting!

Thank you for the cache!

the hint got us on this one - we found it in the wall at the top of the path near the dragon's head... a very good hiding spot

Thanks for the updated hint.
Can finally put this one to bed now.
Many thanks.

Wow - this one was in a hard spot - like others we had nearly given up and found it on the last look... we must have looked a bit suss - 10:30 at night with torches... Great spot and lots of fun - thanks for the find

Found at 7.10am, one of three pre breakfast and work caches found today. Yesterday there were muggles around so I left it until today and thanks to the great clue the GPS stayed in my pocket for an easy find.
Enjoyed this little corner of the park.
Thanks robtas.

At the suggestion of a fellow cacher the hint has been changed to assist. thanks for the input.

[Once again I find myself in Launceston, staying in accommodation just 70m from this cache. After my last effort, I vowed not to try this one again until I had my boys with me to provide some cover. I resisted the urge to "just have one more look" after I checked in, but gave in shortly after breakfast, and was pleasantly surprised to find the cache!!

The cache was just beyond the range of where I had looked previously, and on reflection I think the hint was possibly more of a hinderence than a help... ] there were *lots* of spaces that could fit a 200ml sistema, but I ended up finding the cache in a hole that could've fitted a 2l sistema! Has the cache has moved perhaps? I think a better hint would be, "In the section of the wall closest to Tiger's head, halfway up."

In failing light I found 2 potential hiding locations, but both were empty.

Staying at the nearby Waratah on York we decided to walk through the park on the way to buy breakfast and thought that we would tackle a couple of caches on the way past.
This one some how seemed quite appropriate as it is the opening of the Olympic Games in Beijing today . We searched around gz and turned up nothing so we expanded our search and found the cache 12 meters from where the GPSr wanted us to be. Looks like we are going to have another one of those days
Thanks robtas for the cache and for showing us this interesting area

Decided to go for a night cache in town, this was the first pickup, I see what you mean about snooping around in parks at night in dark clothes and a beanie redtag......

Looked everywhere and started to rain,wonder if it has been moved?

This was a tough hunt. First I had to wait a few minutes for some muggles to clear out and then looked in every hole a couple of times before I was having one last look and came up with the find. Pleased to get this cache. Cheers robtas.

Not recommended at night you say? I didn't notice that warning before I went looking for it, but even so I probably would've gone anyway... Hopefully it'll make a lot more sense during daylight, so I'll just wait until I can get back here with my boys...

Red tag was first to this one. Seemed like a nice park in the dark.
Thanks robtas

I hate to admit it but some sick part of me gets a kick out of creeping around parks at night wearing dark clothes and a beanie and watching peoples reactions as they walk past
Thanks robtas

Waiting for the dance of R12
Had a smidgeon of time to myself
Worked in the dark
In the middle of the park
Found it in the wall on the "shelf".
TNLN TFTC.

Had a reasonable look - wasnt extensive because of muggles.
Hadnt been to this part of the park before. Thanks Robtas.

I looked everywhere I could think of, but no luck this trip.

I'll be back.....

Went over the wall with a fine toothcomb.
Obviously not fine enough as I didnt come up with the goods.

1/3 for the day. GPS was a little eratic it settled down eventually. Waited for a break in muggle traffic and went for it. GZ was where I thought the GPS was sending me. TFTC.

Found @ 0900 I remember playing in the area as a young TFTC

Somehow I always manage to find these robtas caches harder than their "1" difficulty & this was no exception. But at least it was found in the end. Thanks for bringing me to this previously undiscovered corner of this park - very interesting "walk".

Thanks to Michaels mob this cache is back. It is a 200ml sistema

tried to check last sunday too many people. will try again soon.

No cigar here either!! We spent ages looking in all the nooks and crannies, but to no avail.

Had another look - nothing to be seen. Although the usual duh! hint no help given the earlier trouble free finds suggest it needs checking.

A lovely quiet spot in such a busy park!... Unfortunatly nothing to be seen. Bluenose2

lovely idea - great to see the homeschoolers project although no cache to be seen

Nice easy find on way East.Great part of park not visited for awhile.T...TB Mr Potato Head Junior SL. Cheers robtas.

A great day for a stroll in the park, had to wait for a muggle to get sick of walking around the paths, luckily it didn't take too long, found cache easily, TN L smiley badge and Potato head TB, TFTC

We were in Tassie for a few days and this cache was very close to where we were staying, so while Mrs Oompa played on the tiger walk I searched for the cache. Thanks for another interesting cache.

Found this one today after doing a bit of Birthday shopping for the youngest member of the Mob, Alex.
Actually he found it, very interesting area they have formed here; we even did the ‘Tiger Dragon Walk’ on the way back down.
Thanks RobTas for another Cache in our home town.

Nipped out on a very cold and frosty morning, just on daybreak, before heading off to the north west coast. FTF! WooHoo!! Our favourite park in Launceston. TNLN. Thanks for the hunt, robtas

Hidden AND crouching?!
