East Arm Hillwood, Tasmania, Australia
By michaels mob on 20-Oct-08. Waypoint GC1HDZP

cache and content all in excellent dry condition. This one requires an upward accent and not suitable for night time incase you slip

Definitely a different spot to stop and see the view on the way to Georgetown, and well worth it.
We had no trouble getting up to GZ and once there the cache was an easy find.

A perfect place to watch the sky as the sun sets.

GCA1DNA - SA’s Leap Year Event - 29th February 2024 -
This only happens every 4 years -
Don’t miss out, it’s going to be MEGA -

Bush Track and I had a joint day out caching in the area, it was enjoyable to spend the time together. We had 25 Finds, 1 DNF, and 1 we had to leave due to a Snake!

An Easy Find once we got up to the top. Went from the lowest point up the side.

Thanks, Michaels Mob for placing this cache and maintaining it for our enjoyment

Found this one as well.

After an overnight camp at Bridport, we planned to grap four caches on the left hand side of the busy road back to the north west. Towing a camper whilst caching has its limitations, but hey ! Where there's a cache there's a way. Heh Heh !
Worked out a plan of attack at this rather daunting cache location and soon had the prize in hand. All in good nick here, ready and waiting for a few more frequent visitors. Thanks to michaels mob.

Lovely views. Bit scary walking up. A lot of noisy traffic. That’s the view from the top as you say is excellent thank you for the geocache with Maggie and money

Tftc gorgeous view ...even did it with a broken ankle do not attempt with kids

TFTC! I was a little worried about the walk to this one, however although a little rocky, it was not to much of a challenge

What a lovely spot. The cache and contents are in good order and coordinates accurate.

Grate view

Looking for something to fill in time whilst not studying, it was suggested that I finally get around to logging THOSE caches long found but never logged. Some even have funny stories of being visited not only once or twice, but a few even have had a third or fourth visit before realising I've been there done that. The date is as near to the correct day the cache was found.So sorry for the generic and late log.JABs.

Found after a short scramble. Tftc!

GPS kept telling me I had to climb up the hill so I did and found it. TFTC

Climbed this time. Tftc

Found together with Angus88.
A Hard climb.

Came out early morning so traffic wasn’t too bad. Great view. Kutgw

Wow what can I say about this spot... mmmm lets just say I’m not an Agile woman my ankles are forever out to ruin my day but I’m so glad that today I was very prepared and was wearing my hiking boots.... I took my good friend with me ( Fabulist) & our children they all stayed in the safe zone of the car in the pull off opposite the road of GZ.
I had planned out the day that we would definitely tackle this one on the way to G-Town ( Georgetown ) but I would like to say this ( cough cough clears throat) 2.5 on the Terrain was not what should have been on here ha ha ha ( more like a crazy 5 ) because it is warming up here in Tasmania you must be on the look out for them pesky SNAKES !! And man was I ever... I came across one and I’m rustling in the shrubs where I screamed in shock hoping that I could get to GZ fast.
my Bush wacky up the hill went into over drive but I made it and with only one fright a hair full of twigs from overgrown branches and not once but twice a face full of webs only because I went off the beaten track to go up to save for one for my ankles... but definitely came back down the more use track all the way to the bottom where is easy to get up and down the bank.
Please note I drew the short straw with this one but I’m so glad I did cause the view and the catchy where that awesome and my county mumma came out in full force as a whacked my way out of there!

we drop swag and the log book is in great condition but please TAKE A PEN!!

Don’t let my story put you off this catchy it is actually really fun want to do just please be careful as it is rocky and there most definitely would be snake in the area. TYFTC.

What a clever spot but my gosh wear appropriate attire.

Tftc

As per all caches the path back was much easier. What a view!!

Found thank you for the cache. What a magnificent view.

A relatively easy scramble up the rock face, I wasn't sure how I was going to get back though. Cache found easily and signed, then I just followed an easier path back. TFTC.

Tassie Trip Day 213 - Well after the crafty one decided to do another cross stitch it was realised that an important cotton was missing so it was decided that a trip to Spotlight was required and that meant Launceston again so off we went and after collecting the required material it was time to return to camp and we cached along the way.

Well making the necessary stop for this cache the climb up was chosen and it was a quick climb to GZ and as expected the veiw was tremondus with the cache location found a little bit away from where the GZ was indicated but it was the logical spot for the cache and it was an easy find so all good log signed and returned to the location it was foud.

Thanks michaels mob for this wonderful view of the East Arm.

12:14
In Tassie for a couple of weeks, 12 years since our last visit, when we actually found our first 60 caches.
We just love the way geocaching can offer so much more in the way of scenery and history than any travel brochure. It is interesting to see the number of original caches which are still in place after 12 or 14 years.
Certainly great views!

Thanks to 'michaels mob' for placing this cache on the geo-gameboard.

Camped at Launceston, out along the Tamar today for a few caches. Quick find, good coordinates. Cache all good. TFTC

Made a short dash up the hill.

Today I made a late decision that I would head to g-town to collect some caches, a bit of a hit and miss here, I found some harder D/T combos but the easier ones seemed to be not there.

I am currently writing detailed logs because of a challenge provided by Project-GC. "The Author" Badge challenges geocachers to average one hundred words or more in each log. Given that I have found so many GC caches, I have to write many logs with well over 100 words for a long period of time to get my average to the target. Apologies to anyone who finds the logs tedious but it is the only way that I can strive to attain this challenge. After over 5000 plus caches (which includes all cache finds up and including yesterday), the average log length is just over 70 words. I am now entertaining the possibility that I might be able to achieve my task before the end of next year. It's surprising how much is has increase since doing this.

TFTC

I wasn't planning to find this cache today, it was only that I missed the turn-off to a gravel road and then this cache was on the route. A muggle across the highway wondered what I was doing climbing up. TFTC

Had fun making our way through the bush to get to the spot amazing view from here

Have driven past this many times but never been game enough to stop & head up there. Glad i did today what a cool area! Wonderful views as well TFTC

Quick find during our drive from Launceston to Low Head and back.

Thanks for the cache and greetings from Frankfurt am Main.

Out and about with Lil Rafa to get caches for the Hidden Creatures series, all the way to Low Head, we found, signed and replaced the cache, completing the find. TFTC TNLN log dry, cool nights but nice days. Mphone was all over the place because of tree cover.

Thanks for the cache michaels mob. Travelling around the George Town/Low Head area with RLD4963 and the GeoGSP hunting for geocaches. Nice views from this little spot. Cheers.

Day thirteen of our holiday in Tassie. Bettyboo3747 and I are staying at Low Head.
A tourist day with a Triple Pass around Beauty Point (and lunch at the cafe).
Collected a few caches on the way back.

I think it took us longer to cross the road than it did to walk up and locate the cache! A very busy spot.
A nice view of the arm, both from GZ, and the car park.
Thanks, Robmc.

#14400. Day 13 of our 3 week holiday in Tasmania. Today was mainly a tourist day - we visited Seahorse World, Platypus House and the Beaconsfield Mine & Heritage Centre. All wonderful and worthwhile things to do. On the way home we gathered up a few caches in gale force winds, pouring rain and then sunshine. Once back at Low Head we walked around the precinct and picked up two more caches whilst we had the place to ourselves.

I thought it must have been 5.00pm on a Friday afternoon the way the traffic was streaming south in an endless stream. Didn't think we would ever get across the road. After plenty of scrambling we arrived at GZ and soon had our names in the log book. Not really great views today with the grey and wild weather.

Thanks michaels mob

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

Back home after being in Tassie for a holiday, now the daunting task of logging all our finds, sorting through the scraps of paper with notes on them.
Had a few days of sunshine, a lot of days of rain, ended up with just over 105 finds all up on this trip, and visited many tourist spots in the north of Tassie.

found this cache on way to Georgetown/Lowhead

all in good order
thanks to michaels mob for this cache

Relatively quick find, enjoyed the view more than the mozzies. TFTC

*11/09/2016, Found @ 11:36 AM, Find # 5727.*

While on my trip around Tasmania looking for caches, this one was found.
An early morning start after staying at the Tomahawk caravan park, I was now into my last day and now I'm headed for Devonport and the boat ride back home.
Well this one was a bit of a climb up but once I was there the cache was found quickly.

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

this is a dangerous place for a cache and f you are elderly give it a miss maybe on the parking side would be safer.

ewe found it

Tftc loose rocks

found with mumkiddog and tylerboy, out on a bus trip, small place to park a large bus

Bit of a climb for us fat people

Quick find once I engaged my 4WD boots. Late afternoon so the water is shimmering. TFTC.

Bit of mountain goating, good find. TFTC

Did not attempt. Facing a ten meter cliff with a sore knee and a dead animal close by so, no thanks. TFTC from Angus88 the great GeoWestie and his Carer Lis Brown both grey nomads living on the road and currently spending their fourth summer in Tasmania.

Found with DoorMatt and TeamLauren. A nice easy find. Thanks for the cache.

Bit of an adventure climbing to this one but worth the view. First for the day. Found with emthegem and Doormatt. Tftc. Celebrated emthegem 600 find!!!

Travelling around Australia and now in Tasmania!

Headed out from Loira to find some more caches on the Eastern side of the Tamar river and into Launceston.

Beautiful in the sun but when it ducked behind the clouds a bit cool.

Found your cache to help us with our exploration of the area. [^]

There are no trackables in the cache.

TFTC michaels mob

Found with Emthegem and TeamLauren. Found quickly after a quick climb up the side of the road. Enjoyed the great view with the sun out. Thanks for the cache.

Once we managed to negotiate the traffic & ignore the cringe factor of "what's that guy doing climbing up there" we felt perfectly hidden from view as we did our stuff. Though we were magically not hidden from the gob-smacking view, which really was better framed with the altitude. So, thanks for both the cache & the vista!

Superior spot for sunset photo's over the Tamar, will be keeping this spot in mind when sunsets coincide with my presence near here. Added my calling card to the swaps. Thanks Michaels Mob.

Great place to hide, big old bloke with gammy knees was not sure. But did it easily. Thanks for the view. Found with the Geomonkey, granddaughter Holly

TFTC a little difficult for an old codger like me after a hard run yesterday!

Tftc

To scale or not to scale

found it.
TFTC

A bit of a hike for an easy find. Appreciated the superior views from 'above'.. thanks..!!

We were on our way down to Hillwood to meet some friends but decided we had time to call in here on the way. I made the scramble up to gz and admired the views. Cache found securely in the only obvious place. TFTC

Found it after the climb.. What an awesome view from the GC location, was a bit windy though. Took the DSLR up for a few snaps while here.
Cheers

Although the temperature was quite high today we made the short climb and found the box easily. Thank you for this cache.

TFTC, so many white tips next to the cache arghhhh. Don't recommend climbing in thongs, quite slippery. Awesome cache tho

Tftc

What a great cache had a giggle with Robbie 1989 trying to climb and find it! But there was no travel bug

Easy find, awesome views- this is a great place to watch sun set, left travel bug. TFTC.

Good spot tftc

Driving along and spotted SSCHARLIE pulled over and 'checking out the view', knew what they were up to, so joined them!

Good view, easy find for #40

Bit of a climb to get at this one

Nice view, Shelly and Shane

Last find of the day. mr sharnie's tribe went after this one. A great view down the river from GZ. TFTC

Great views sounds like the nearby motorcycles are racing today..... thanks michaels mob!

No polar bug. Found with proxy-babe. Left smiley

Bit of a hike

Tftc nice view

Made it here just in time for the sunset. Great view. TFTC

Took a bit of a roundabout way to get this one but got on track eventually, then the clue makes sense!!! it is a great view. I was wondering if the muggles who pulled up after me were also going to look for the cache, but they just looked at the view!!

#399 Left the trusty steeds to rest by a guard rail. Then bit of a challenging hike up through scrub with a repairing broken leg but the cycling duo from Jindy get the fourth for the day. (should have suncreened more often!) Great view on the cork deserving a favourite point.

Mr and Mrs Seek3rs are over in Tasmania on holidaying from SA ...

Another day of caching ... holiday rapidly coming to an end, but still a few more days to cache ...

Got to the carpark mentioned in the log... but still had 20m to go and a cliff in front of us.... couldn't spot the way up ... so decided to leave this one ...

A DNF for us at this one today.

What a great spot michaels mob. Terrific views. TFTC

Many thanks to michaels mob,
This was our 3 of 13 for todays cache hunt, Find number 1330 at 11:30:15 AM.
We are here in Tassy, hunting down your caches. This is our first time here and the weather here is fantastic, just a tad chilly. Please keep an eye out for us and come and say hi, we won't bite.


Should have trusted my instincts and not the gps.
Soon had cache in hand, lovely spot for a cache.
Left a SPECIAL something for the next finder.

Just about to finish our Tasmanian holiday and decided to spend these days in Launceston gathering a few caches. Found quickly after using our geosenses.
Nice views but no tb??

Quick find after a dash across the highway and a scramble up the bank. Thumbs up for view ) took fish, left 'way to go' eraser. SL TFTC.

Had to leave the geokids in the car for this one. Scampered up, scampered back so the geokids could do some swaps, then scampered back to replace and back down again! Phew! Not many muggles on a Sunday...

Short climb to cache on a beautiful day. Tftc
