Not in the obvious location and the correct GPS location. Great spot though

Looked hard, no go

All in tack. It was not at the original spot as per hint but returned it to the original spot.

On another walking/caching day with a client. Another spot I've never even thought about visiting before, and learning about previous history of the place. Cache fairly quickly found with the clue, and in good nick TFTC

Today Zozetta and I went caching at Tinderbox, starting the day at Blackmans Bay for an ftf on a EarthCache, then making our way down to Tinderbox, and then up to Howden. In total we had ten finds and no DNFs.Found after a five minute search. The container was out in the open and not where the hint suggested. Another location that I didnt know about discovered through caching.Thanks for the cache red tag!

TFTC! What a cool road and point! So quiet and still today.

Wasn’t where the map said but it was visible

hidden well! beautiful spot

beautiful spot! hidden well!

Pretty spot by the bay.

Amazing easy to find but amazing

Nice easy find, especially at low tide, a pleasant little walk along the rivers edge, tho a bit windy today

Beaut day and beaut spot. TFTC

A simple local trip for a Saturdays caching today with a Budgie and a Goose, I think the furthest we got was Tinderbox so i nice easy day.

This is a cache that hadn't been on my radar as everyone else had found it so it was only me looking at my app that I spotted that i had never found it, being the driver most of the time make it easy for me to miss little details sometimes.

After a short walk I was very pleased to see a well maintained cache hidden away and even more so when i spotted this was an old Red tag cache from noughties, the view across Northwest Bay was nice too.

Thanks for the cache.

Found on 08/10/2022 at 11:38:00 thanks to red tag for placing this cache for me to find.

out and about caching to get some exercise on a beautiful day, driving down toward Coningham this flathead frenzy was on the way. a quick find with the map and clues, Thanks to the person for replacing the container as previous logs have said the container needed replacing, TFTC TNBPLN log dry.

Nice walk, but a hard find. Almost gave up.

Cheers

Man, was this harder than it needed to be. I had tried getting this cache three times prior but my GPS kept walking me down private roads with cautionary signs, if only I had known Wingara Road was the way!

Hmm. Not sure what we missed here. Kids enjoyed exploring the sea life.

Nice hide! Beautiful sunset find

Both the drive and walk to this hide were very much enjoyed as the spot is lovely as.

Once the cache was found i went over and sat down on the flat rocky area near the waters edge to SL @ 13:07 on Sat 28/8/21, to 3 Pied Oystercatchers that didn't flinch one bit even when i was only 15ft away.

The cache and contents are in great shape
Thanks for bringing me up Wingara Road and along this picturesque beachfront with views across to Margate down to Electrona

Container replaced , including a clean and dry log

Will attend to ASAP

Found it, what a lovely spot. But box has holes and the logbook is destroyed!

Lovely location!! Container broken and log books wet and dirty. Badly needs maintenance.

New box & logbook needed!

This geocacher reported that the container is damaged.

What an amazing spot, absolutely loved it! Thanks for taking us here, I had no idea of these tracks! Favourite from me!

So quiet and peaceful here this morning. Could easily spend some time just sitting here. Thanks red tag

Brilliant spot so lovely

Beautiful sunset happening used to come dog walking here. Nice to come back. Container damaged so quite damp inside TFTC

Found this cache while visiting the nearby book exchange, really lovely spot. Thanks for showing Me it

Beautiful spot! Cache is drenched through, pen is disintegrating but we enjoyed this easy one!

Visited this pretty spot today and Mrs H found the cache after a couple of minutes. The contents were sodden and the log was unsignable due to a hole in the lid of the container. We left some sheets of A4 paper in a new zip lock bag as a temporary fix but the cache could do with some TLC. TFTC

Tftc.nice space here regards from Germany

Thanks for this Cache and spot! A thunderstorm at our find there! Regards from germany! Tb out

Tassie Trip Day 76 - Today saw better weather and with the better weather a few more places could be visited. Including a few moderate walks along the way with one not resulting in the prize after a huge effort to make the way to and from GZ.

We made our way to GZ along the foreshore as the tide was going out and after a short search at gz the cache log was appropriately marked and returned to its place of hiding.

Thaks red tag for showing us this wonderful place with such a nice drive in.

Great spot. Many thanks.

Thanks for your first hide redtag! Having a great day out seeing hidden little gems near Hobart thanks to geocaching!

Out for a few on a fine winters day. Quick find TFTC

Thank you for the pretty shells in there my daughter loved them. Swap replaced

Found thank you! Container has a bit of mould inside so perhaps a little maintenance is required. Lovely spot!

Cache was exposed so easily found. Signed log and returned cache to it's proper hiding place. A pleasant place for a walk with geodog. TFTC. MattyH

Found under rocks, great one for kids

2nd day geocaching Lovely spot.

Domi found it...

Started heading in the wrong direction for this one. The car GPSr for once was correct and my hand held one not too good. Soon sorted out and enjoyed to drive to an area that we haven't been to before. Quite a bit of action in the area with the bay being so flat and calm. Cache was found in excellent condition. Signed the log and replaced as found.

TFTC red tag.

Found it! Left some things, took plastic frog. TFTC

What a stunning place. Hadn't been down here before, loved the walk along the rocks at dusk. An easy find in a beautiful location. TFTC

Found on a quick mission from home on Australia Day public holiday. Had no idea this spot was here, glad to have been shown such a lovely spot. Breezy day but perfect caching weather! Left fluffy yellow toy. Tftc!

It's been a while since I've been to this area, so it was nice to bring the GeoGSP down here for a little walk and sniff around. On the drive along the little road to where we parked, the GeoGSP was particularly interested in the cows in the roadside paddock - he even had a bit of a go at moo-ing at them! He also loved all the smelly stuff on the rocks and in the pools near groundzero. Lovely afternoon to be out and about, thanks for putting a cache in this great spot red tag!

We had some fun exploring the rock platform, found the cache. Swapped out a feather and left a toy frog. TFTC

I really enjoyed the view from this spot, its an all around great place. Helped too that it was a great 26c day today. I'm glad I followed this cache to this nice area that was previously unknown to me. TFTC

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.

What a beautiful spot. We arrived at almost low tide so access was no problem and made the rocks very picturesque.

TFTC red tag

Noticed obvious hide and some of the container was exposed. Covered it a bit more.

It had been a long time since we drove around the point from Tinderbox to Howden and were surprised by all the houses, some quite high uphill. One cache took longer than anticipated and we didn’t actually find it either, which caused our plan for the day to be curtailed.

Beautiful spot never would have known it existed despite living just across the bay.

Found on our trip to Tasmania. TFTC (sorry for the much delayed log, catching up on my backlog that was stuck in the GPS for a while!)

(We found this quite a while ago on our holidays but hadn't logged it! Oops!)

A bit of an interesting drive to near this one but we made it and we soon had the cache in hand. Beautiful views along here. TFTC!

Bei meinem großen Urlaubstrip konnte ich auch diesen Cache finden.

TFTC

Haha not so easy to find at night, our dogs weren't helpful either.
Thanks!

Love this place, great views and generally muggle-free. Good spot for a picnic, and there's often road-side stalls with amazing fresh home-grown produce along the gravel road. Well worth a detour! GPS is spot on, once you're at GZ it only takes a quick scratch around to find it. TFTC!!

TFTC

Found. Lovely spot.

Nice easy find, beautiful spot

Out and about caching with Ninjawolf and LRS
Very pretty location, Left a scout and took stickers. TFTC

Good location for a cache, very pretty.
Found with TazScout and NinjaWolf.

Nice spot, like the chair. TFTC and the drive.

Perfect day, perfect spot.

Found by anne and florian. We saw a man releasing a possum.

That was fun what a great spot on a calm afternoon

Found by torchlight, on a pleasant evening, winds had abated somewhat since our earlier find back further up the hill. It's great that this cache is long-lasting. All in good condition, although hint isn't quite relevant now, as covering is rocks and sticks. Cache was a little exposed (when we eventually found it) and so we tried our best to cover it a bit more when replacing. redtag, you might like to check this one in daylight to ensure its in the correct position, and suitably stowed.
Thanks for the hide. TNLNSL. CHEERS !

Not such a nice day but a nice find for the first in Australia

Woohoo finally found it! Nice hide! geopup hunting too.

In fire, thunder and in rain,
me and my three found again!

Magnificent local cache in tumultuous weather.

I was close for an ? cache so I could not go past this one(well a short detour)

A quick find and a nice view.

I left a calling card and die.

TFTC

Lovely spot. Managed to get to GZ without getting our feet wet - the good placement of stepping stones helped. Our granddaughter Ella (7) had the cache in hand very quickly. A bit cold around here today but still two men fishing at the boat ramp. Thanks for the cache

Wow a seven year old cache! Still going, cache in good order, Nice one TFTC

Early afternoon find today. The colours of the sandstone were beautiful. Lovely pinks and reds in the rock. TFTC

TFTC

A lovely, fascinating place with shellfish and patterned sandstone. A favourite from me for bringing me here. TFTC.

Thanks for the cache, pulled in for lunch at this lovely spot.
