The Cave Coningham, Tasmania, Australia
By March Brown on 14-Aug-07. Waypoint GC154YJ

After a little scrambling, cache found and signed. It was exposed to view but replaced with camo TFTC

Found! Glad to see its still there after 7 years since the last visit! TFTC

Great little spot

Great cave and great view!

What a great spot we came here already before, but now we had a purpose. Thank you so much a like from us.

I'm almost certain I found the hide spot, but the cache isn't there. I suspect it has been muggled Also the road is closed now, so it is a pretty decent walk to get to the cave, probably about 2km

Couldn't find the rock covered with needles but nice cave formation!

Oh wow what an amazing spot!! First time around this area and so happy that caching revealed such an awesome detour to me!! Took a fair bit of circling around to find the cache but got there in the end!!

Amazing little spot!! Thanks heaps

Great spot and a nice little adventure for our Saturday morning. TFTC!

Awesome caves

Found it with Jaim3_cee. Took yellow magnetey thingamajig and Jaime took bookmark quote, left a polar bear and a hippo. Tftc! Great spot!

Found it, finally. Well Sanctuary5082 found it.

Nabbed a cute little saying & will share the love around soon! X

Pressured for time. I’ll be back

TFTC!!

Yup

Cool little spot! Took a bit of searching but we found it! Still in great condition!

Wow!... yet another Tassie Geological Gem!
Needed the hint here and with that i was directed straight to it
Signed the logbook of the nicely hidden cache at 11:32 on Saturday the 4th of September 2021.
The contents within are in Bonza Shape Mate! Dry As Bro!

Returned the cache and covered with the pine needles as found.
Thanks for showing me an unreal location with a view [in both directions ] March Brown

{Now it's time for the ascension to the last 3 loftier hides }

Today we headed down the Channel area to collect a few outstanding caches that we have not got around to getting yet.

We had a plan of collecting four caches in the Coningham Nature Recreation area requiring a walk from the car park on Old Station Road up and over Shepphards Hill down to the sea cave near Snug Point. It was a fabulous walk and one we had not done before. We had four seasons in one day or even in one hour, raining, sunshine, calm and very breezy one after another which all added to the fun.

Made our way down to the Sea Cave and wow what an amazing place, fabulous views and interesting rock formations and a cave with a skylight. We found a nice safe and comfortable rock to sit on and have lunch. TFTC

Nice spot but not for small kids! Very steep.

Been to this cave many times before, but never knew there was a geocache here. A great walk, ride or run. Tftc

Amazing place, thank you for guiding me here. Well worth the little hike!!!
TFTC

What an awesome spot!! This is why we cache! Thanks for bringing us here - a great walk from Conningham that I didn't know about either! Cache was found thanks to the hint!
A favourite for me

Found it! Full log to follow.

TFTC. We have picked up the trackable to move it to a new home.

A beautiful walk this morning and a really interesting spot! Exchanged trackables. TFTC March Brown!
Cheers,
The Hancock Clan

Found and left a little trackable behind

Thanks. Awesome spot. Cache in excellent condition.

Found it

TFTC!

An awesome find, not only the cache but the amazing cave. Rescued the two TB that have been here for 4 months. Kids loved playing around inside the cave and I enjoyed all the beautiful views. A FP for the location. TFTC...eatmorchikin from Brisbane

Brilliant. I love caving just because of places like this. Thanks so much for bringing us here. Dropped 2 TBs off.

How awesome is this cave!! Last time we did the other caches with my daughter and ran out of time to walk to this cave. Wish she was here today with us! What a super spot! Thanks so much for putting a cache here. I took a million pictures of all the shapes the water has created.

What a fabulous spot

Walked from Conington. Such a lovely walk.
TFTC

Found this one a hell of a lot quicker than our first one of the day now to pick up numbers three and four and possibly more. TFTC inspectorrexteam

We followed the rocks from Conington to this one. Was a great adventure. Nice easy find thanks to the hint. Cleared some rubbishy stuff out of the container.

out and about with the Rafas caching. This cache had to be done after the event at Snug, a walk on the foreshore and then over rocks to a GZ, Nice hide and catch, TFTC TNLN log dry.

Tassie Trip Day 73 - Today with new walking boots it was off for a little stroll along the coast and up a little hill that is to find a few cache that needed to be walked in to these were along the coast and up the little hill in the area.

After taking too long at the first cache this was another great spot to cache and it also had me going for a while until after the hint was read and then correctly interperated this one was then in hand and it was also such a great place to admire this wonderful area.

Thanks March Brown for bring us along this wonderful track.

Found while out walking with Geodog and Geosons. Beautiful day to visit this beautiful place. Impressive cave! Tftc MattyH

Fond with tascookiesjr. Cache and contents safe and sound . TFTC

Found with Tascookies. TFTC

Gate across road so cars can’t get near

You are allowed to walk to caches

Tftc!

This is what I love a bout geocaching we have been coming to the area for years but never explored the cave what a cool cache TFTC

Thank you beautiful

Decided to go out on a walk today to make the most of the sunny winters day. Our girls loved the cave which was deserted today. Quick and easy find at GZ particularly given the hint. TFTC.

hi march brown, Happy Easter.
all 4 of the EeePees clan was out for a walk with Lil Rafa and the geoGSP and the clifftops track from coningham is most pleasant. geoJnr very much enjoyed the cave and surrounds whilst the rest of us enjoyed the scramble to get to GZ. A nice cache, with some unique swaps! Thanks for a nice clear hint which made the search pretty straight forward.
thanks for hiding this cache, and so for bringing us here.

Thanks for the cache March Brown. Had walked past this location previously but with the GeoGSP the approach to GZ was a bit tricky. Today the GeoGSP and I were back, this time in the company of all of the EeePees. Once reaching the cache area, the EeePees were able to negotiate some obstacles, with MrEeePees finding the cache itself. A short guardianship swap of the GeoGSP occurred so that I could also visit the cache and sign the log. Really enjoyed visiting this area and it was great afternoon.

After collecting a nearby ftf, lady membsec continued along the walking track to find this next cache. This area is so beautiful and the caves are very interesting. I must admit that I did a couple of laps around the obvious rocks before putting my hand on the cache. The cache is in great condition and I replaced it as found covering it up just a little bit more with some needles!
A favourite point for the beauty and the cave. TFTC March Brown.

Tftc.

Found it! Have looked twice thanks

We approuched the cach by hiking the Coningham track, which was great. At the place we were confused with the hint: We looked on the wrong side of the cave. It appears that the hint is for situation before you get down to the cave. Anyway the search was great fun and we eventually found the cach. Great spot.

Found it. Phew. TFTC

Great spot TFTC

Tftc lovely place for a walk

Loved the spot. Such a cool cave!! Thanks for bringing me back

What a great place. Joined by a family and a couple both admiring the location. Managed to find the cache without being spotted by these groups.

Favourite point given

Went to the cave and there were muggles in there, so i went off to get another cache close by, when i came back they were gone. So first i had to explore the cave next time to find. Too a bit of searching as i was on the wrong side of the rock, but i wouldn't give up and finally found TFTC

First Find in Tassie. Great view.

Day #6 of our holiday to Tasmania - first time as cachers [^] , and first time with 4 kidlets in tow

Out in the boat today we went out past the salmon farms and tried to get a couple of caches in a more interesting way!! Although searching for quite some time, we just couldn't spot this one
What a great location though - and hopefully we'll have a chance to return oneday as i don't think my brother will be moving away from here anytime soon

We all enjoyed the clifftop walk out to the Cave. Used the hint to help find the cache then it was time to explore the cave. Thanks March Brown for the cache.

Found this cache after a comedy of errors. Mrs y'stassie did not have her logic other half with her so was bound to have a few difficulties interpreting the hint not to mention distinguishing left from right. Firstly she climbed down to explore the cave then she looked for the cache buy which side was right? After a longish fruitless search she headed back up towards the cliff top path when she almost stepped on the well hidden cache container.Is this on the left or right? After signing the log and replacing the cache she returned to the top and took in the view. It then dawned on her that right side was from the top looking out over the water, not from in front of the cave. She also noted with horror that she was still holding the cache log in her hand. Back down to return log and rehide the cache. Cache and container were in very good condition. It was now time to head back to the car and Mr y'stassie.

Thanks for the cache and an enjoyable walk in an area we had not been in before March Brown. We probably would never have seen this cave if it was for this cache.

Great hiding spot

Thanks for the cache! Rich + Jackie

Yay my first bush cache!

Peter had been past here several times but never gone to look at the cave from below. We took the Geocoin. TFTC March Brown

Peter decided to spend the morning helping the Friends of Coningham with weeding out Erica in the reserve while Sue went for a walk along the beaches and cliff tops, collecting a geocache on the way. After lunch we walked up to Sheppards Hill where we noticed that a lot of Erica had been sprayed and was looking very lifeless then down the eastern end and along the coastal cliff top track to the car, getting three more caches on the way. For Sue the days walking distance was 12k.

Didn't get to it because we couldn't find the right path to take. Drove to the end of the road and walked and ended up at camp conningham and saw no way to access the way to the cache.

Been visiting this place for about 18 years. Its a beautiful walk from Conningham Beach and good fishing when the tide is right. So a great place for a cache. Little tricky to find, due to coverage.

Walked up from Snug side with the HotCrossBoy. Really enjoyed the walk, even though we started out in light rain. Found Channel View then went on to the Cave. Thanks!

I parked near the new gate and walked up the hill to find Channel Views before continuing over the hill to find Littoral 2. I followed the Cliffs Track to complete the loop back to my car, finding this cache along the way. It took me longer than it should have, firstly because I wanted to explore the cave, and secondly because I misunderstood the clue and was facing in the wrong direction. It all makes sense once it makes sense!

hello March Brown

A very nice spot.

I did notice the track down off the Coningham Clifftop Track to the cave is now closed.

TFTC

Great spot for a cache, been here a few times in the past when you could drive in. Such a pity this area has been closed off to those not able to walk. Cache in good condition.

Found with jules direen, long walk, we had almost given up & then i spotted it, was so pleased to get this one as it made the blister on my very sore feet worth it.

Nice walk, longer than I though. Almost gave up when persistent Geosister managed to locate it.

Found this while fishing in my boat. I was dropped off on the rocky shore and scambled up to check out the caves. The caves show evidence of aborignal occupation by virtue of the shell middens buried amongst the soil. Take care not to disturb the deposits (although they'll probably be underwater in a hundred years). Took a stamp (which will be useful in class) and left a fishing lure:)

Found with whitewebbs on our "Down South" caching holiday, Thanks for bringing us to an area not visited before - a most impressive cave.

Headed out with Tassie Trekkers to pick up the 3 caches in the area. Nice coastal walk, dead calm when we started and blowing a gale by the time we came back. Mr T and Mr W scrambled down to retrieve the cache. Mr W remembered he had been in the caves in pre caching days with a scout group, so thanks for bringing back to the area. TNLN. TFTC.

Found on a cold day - occasional patches of sun but lots of snow on the higher hills and The Mountain. We were bush walking in the area and our route took us past this location so why not grab a cache or two. The scramble down from the track to the cache was made more difficult than originally intended. Someone (Council?) had blocked the usual way down with a big block of wood. TNLN. Many thanks.

Third cache today in this area. All awesome! Love this place. Great cave! TFTC!

Accompanied JumpyLoopyPop on his expedition. Nice quiet area to sit for peaceful reflection, though watch out as high track nearby needs maintenance, so don't go on it (there was a sign to warn us). Thanks

Found [it] (Got [the] hint [wrong]) [The] coodinates [are] a [bit] wrong [(I] ended [up] on [the] other [side] of [the] cave [that] I [should] be)

TFTC

Found easily once I faced the right way!
TFTC

What a great spot. I had a little look around without the hint, but quickly realised that I was going to need it. I was pleased to see that it was nice and specific... just that way I like them, thanks!

Found this one after waiting for some fishers to leave and then scrabbling around the cave for a little while. Took the toy coyote and left some stickers.

Took nothing but left the Gold Fish 1 geocoin & a soldier. Would have taken a picture but the batteries in the camera went flat. TFTC

Found on our trip to this beautiful area easy find thanks

Being of short stature I decided to stay on the track and let L&L have a look for this one. It didn’t take long for me to hear the joyous sound of “got it” [^]. Just a shame we didn’t have longer to spend and investigate the sea cave . TFTC

Always love a cave [^]. Of course, I had to find the cache first. That took a bit of effort, even with the clue. Cache is dry and happy, waiting for visitors. TN/LN/SL then had a play in the cave .

We took the Conningham cliff top walk to find this cache. Well worth the extra effort. TFTC took coin. Left tb.

Found the cache at 0925hrs as my 96th find and first for the day. Absolutely loved this cache. Stayed for about an hour just taking photographs and remembering my volunteer work at what used to be the Legacy Camp back down the road. Thanks March Brown; a great cache, most enjoyable. Cheers OldSaint

Out with Mrs red tag today and we ventured down to this one to mark a special milestone, my 2000th cache. I just had to find it first. The short scramble was worth it with the interesting cave and great views. Found it at 1340hrs and then celebrated! A nice location to mark the milestone. Thanks for sharing the special occasion Mrs red tag.

Thanks for showing me a nice spot March Brown.

I logged in a few of my travellers to celebrate the occasion.

Very interesting cave. Didn't let Tiny Catgirl hang around in there for long. Found cache without a worry.

A fabulous bit of shoreline for some exploration
Looking inside the cave made me think that the warning sign above may be onto something. Big chunks of the ceiling are lying on the floor
The easy but fun scramble at the end just added to the fun of finding the cache [^]
I could hear the salmon farm machinery, but couldn't see anything from here
TFTC, I left the "Yellow Egg" travel bug.

What a beatuful day, Plenty of great views over the water

Fantastic spot, great cave and rocks. TFTC

My god I looked a long time for this one! There was no way I was going to log another DNF today, so I looked, checked hint, looked wherever that stuff was lying. Then I did a clever thing and looked where the GPS was sending me and I found it straight away! Amazing some of the creative ways I find caches.
Killer location, nice coastline and rocky stuff - lucky I didn't pack the boardies today.
