Find 02 of 02 for the day and #2150 in total.
Found by Echo! (Echo 1 - Spice 1)

Thankfully it was a nice fast find.
One of the cache logs was glued solid and the other was wet...

G'day from WA. A quick and easy find after a visit to Brickendon. There it is, but wait there are TWO systema containers there! What the? TFTC

Finally got around to doing some logging. Travelling around in Tasmania and grabbing some caches along the way. TFTC

TFTC. Needs maintenance

Forgot writing tool. Found both containers. TFTC
 
10-Sep-17
Found the cache(s). Signed 1 log but the other was too waterlogged. Will post a NM.
 
10-Sep-17
One of the logbooks is wet, but more importantly there are TWO containers. There is no way this can be fixed without the owner's interference - if no action has been taken for a month I'll post a NA.
 
27-Aug-17
It was so perfect that the next geocache on our route was by a toilet! After lots of driving around this was definitely appreciated. We initially approached this from the wrong way but soon has the cache(s) in hand (there were two, but one was far too wet to sign!). Hopefully we signed the right one. TFTC!

Safe n sound

TFTC michaels mob. We were on our way to the "Th' lost loot o' Mary Hyde" event and had an early start from the deep south, but were only moderately slowed by icy road conditions. So we had time to call in here after finding a new GA cache nearby. Found with Lil Rafa.

Hi michaels mob, thanks for this cache. Today I was travelling to an event in Launceston with EeePees and AlbyDangles. We found we had a little bit of time up our sleeve and decided to stop by this cache. We left the cars and stepped out into the very cool morning air and EeePees was first to GZ and soon had the two caches in hand. Both are damaged and the logs are quite degraded. We managed to sign one of the logs and they were soon back in their hidey hole, and we were soon back in to the warmth of the car!

I stopped in Perth to take a closer look at the South Esk which had a good flow in it after the recent rains. It was only as I arrived at the picnic area that I thought to check to see if there were any caches in the vicinity. Sure enough, there was one, and after reading about the punt (very interesting) I made my way to GZ and soon had the caches in hand (yes, there are, in fact, two; and my reading of past logs gives no clues as to why!). Thanks for the cache/s, michaels mob.

Not so subtle a find today but muggles oblivious. TFTC!!
 
27-Oct-16
Theres no way, with a hint like that, that this cache wouldn't be found......unless there were muggles nearby! Lucky for me, the muggle was in the car under the bridge, back just far enough not to see what I was doing. Strangely enough, there are 2 caches here! TFTC PS: Love the PUNT!

*9/09/2016, Found @ 9:46 AM, Find # 5655.*

While on my trip around Tasmania looking for caches, this one was found.
I was now heading South from Launceston, as I was about to pass this one, so I stopped for a look.
I made my we to GZ and was able to make a quick find.
There is actually two containers at this spot, not sure why.

**Thanks to michaels mob for placing this cache.**

Out blowing some cobwebs off the Cruiser today, so nabbed this one on the way home. Still two caches in the hidey hole, and both were soggy. Lovely and interesting spot.
Many thanks from Wacky

23-Apr-16
Camped at Evandale andd off on a drive to Longford, chasing caches as we go. Another easy find
 
19-Apr-16
A nice spot now, but it would have been tough for the convicts who were forced to build the original stone bridge. The tariffs for the punt were expensive for the time, but if that was the only way across the river the money had to be handed over.

Thank you for the cache that brought me to this historical place. Incidentally we did need the hint.
 
19-Apr-16
TFTC, even the mallards might find it.
 
10-Apr-16
Very clever little Cache, great hintlots of families about.. Stealth mode was needed haha
 
03-Apr-16
Some shady characters here at the moment & it absolutely stinks so might come search for this one again
 
Quick find (after reading the hint) - there were quite a few people around so we didn't want to spend too much time conspicuously trying to rattle rocks Smile TFTC!
 
25-Mar-16
We stopped for a little picnic and a cache. A lovely spot. The hint made it quick to find. Found with Stephm42.

went to look for this one but where the gps was pointing someone had set themselves up an camp and had had made it their home. Didn't want to go up in there as it looked like they were sleeping.

Nice spot. TFTC
 
22-Feb-16
We traveled around Tasmania for 3 weeks and took some caches. We saw so many nice places only because we searched a cache. Thanks for Geocaching to see so nice places.

What a great place for a picnic, love the little rock dam waterfall. Easy find TFTC
 
18-Feb-16
Came down once and road workers were filling the potholes. Returned a few cache finds later and got this one too TFTC Smile

We've now only got five weeks left of our six month stay (til the end of March '16) from the Kurrajong area, (Blue Mountains) NW of Sydney, to tour in the caravan and also visit our kids and grandkids in the Huon Valley Smile On four previous visits before this visit, we were muggles, so we're having fun finding the caches we didn't even know were here! Smile

Today was day 50 of our trip out of Sydney to visit the southern states of Victoria and Tasmania and we are enjoying day 8 of the Tasmanian part.

This was a nice quick and easy cache to find even though some muggles were picnicking fairly close by. The cache was in the first place checked. After signing the log the cache was replaced as found. Thank you for bringing us to this area and thank you for placing this cache for us and others to find.
