We like others had a good scratch around.
No response from the owner and this may even be on private property? Seems to be part of the resort.

Had a look a couple of times whilst at a conference. Hasn't been found for a while now... I'd say it may have gone...
Bridge over non troubled waters.. Lovely little spot, we enjoyed the walk immensely!
Found after short search by my muggle friend on a lovely day. TFTC. Angus the great GeoWestie assisted by grey nomad Carer Lis Brown en route from Bundaberg Qld to Perth WA via all of Tasmania.
No one around at 630am except wallabies and rabbits. The cache was in plain view so I tried to hide it a little better. Tftc great spot!
7453. [green]Wandered over from our cabin and originally thought it was for trolls. But once that was dismissed as not a viable hide the next place I checked held a cache. So green(s) around here [/green]

Sadly coming to the end of our Tassie adventure - definitely necessary for us to come back again sometime. As is often the way with us, we did this as a night cache. A nice little walk before bedtime.
We are obviously following another cacher who has a stock of smileys, as we do. So there are now two smileys in a few caches around Tassie. We took nothing.
Thank you.

After a bit of mini-golfing i just had to go geocaching! Bit of a miserable day but TFTC!
With explorersarah and found this lil cache hiding a lil bit away from co ordinates but we found it!! It's a sneaky one =)
Found this whist staying at grindlwald with the kids. Fun place to holiday. Took tb will move it along the coast a bit. TFTC HAGD.
Found by Facitman with Rhinogeo at 11:32
Our day trip north of Launceston was mapped out so that we could visit Grindelwald.... I'm not really sure why? Rhinogeo seemed to be keen to visit. So as we approached the village our accents changed to bad impersonations of Swiss, flowing to German, with a mix of Polish and Russian. All bad. We cruised through the village and found that we could drive all the way to within a few metres of the cache. Our search was off by a few metres at first but then Rhinogeo came up with the box. A quick log was written before we moved on as a group of golfers approached the green.
Thanks FLANGE_1&TRIBE

Lovely walk TFTC perfect place to leave our Troll (GSW41C) travel bug....wishing him a successful journey!
This is private property but nobody was watching today. A nice easy find after a bit of a scratch around.
This trip to Tasmania going anticlockwise from Devonport is our third trip and the first in our motorhome. This is another cache, there will be many more, hopefully.

Don't know if we were supposed to but we pretended our geomobile was a golf kart and drove as close as we could to GZ. Nice easy find. TFTC 
Coordinates kept pointing me towards the wrong few trees, but I eventually spied something that gave the location away.
This was our 2nd cache find in the caching run & we found it at 09:56
So this now makes our total find count 5865.
[blue]We had to wait a while as there was a group pf lady golfers attempting to hit their balls over the water.
The log book was full, so we replaced it.
[/blue]
Coordinate Accuracy: Excellent (Under 2 metres)
Cache Condition: Container and log book are in good shape.
Took: Nothing.
Left: Toy chook
Thanks flange_1&tribe for the hunt today.

#521 The cycling touring duo from Jindy stayed at Grindelwald Resort for a treat and found this hidey cache first thing in the morning. I reckon I would drown a lot of round white balls playing golf here. Tftc.
Can't drive down to it any more, walk down gravel road and head to the tee, it's under a tree.
Mr and Mrs Seek3rs are over in Tasmania on holidaying from SA ...
Another day of caching ... this time on the way over to the west Tamar side ...
Car GPS took us to a location .... but it was still over 200m from where the cache was supposed to be.
Mrs Seek3rs went for a walk to the look out Mr Seek3rs went for the cache, with a trek down the hill through the field ... and got covered with prickles ... but got the find!
Picked up Girlguide JACK TB.
Added Seek3rs sticker and date to the log.

Lovely walk around golf course, very picturesque! TFTC! Left bow took glass crescent.
After an easy stroll down the golf course MissSherlock put her hands on it. Took green rock and 60cents (heading home for a McDonalds cone) left fish and bow. TB happily in place. SL TFTC

A reasonably quick find while we were staying here. Found with Scottymyth, Xman02 and immyMoo! TFTC
2nd Tasmanian find. Staying in chalets a couple of hundred of metres away. Thought I better get this one in such a beautiful location.
Out and about In Tassie for a few weeks on holidays collecting caches. Quick find in the mist at this great area, thanks for bringing us here.

Found in the bitter cold, with TassieToughs, who helpfully had previosly found this one! Nice quick find, then home for lunch! TFTC From N. Ireland
On a bug hunting mission in preperation to our trip to the 'States'....Picked up TB
Found the street: 200m walk so then I explored (by car of couse) and managed to get much closer (among the tourists). Secluded little spot. Enjoyed it all.
Def. need a quiet day or quiet time of day as it can get busy here. Think we spied a pair cachers going in after us! TFTC
The walkway to the cache is lovely but after a moving 1.5 metre tiger snake crossed our path we decided to go the long way round, eventually found by elizabeth
First cache - early in the day - when the grass is still heavy with dew, so managed to give my trousers a good soaking. I obviously approached from the wrong direction after reading other's logs, as I had quite a hike. Had to wait out a very slow muggle putter before making the find, so had time for a bit of a look about this very picturesque golf course.
This is a lovely village that we had been caching in on previous visits, so loved the excuse for a return visit. Thanks for the hunt flange 1&tribe.

Hi Flange and Tribe
Loved this cache.
I holed out on this one at 1110hrs.
I love and play a lot of golf so the getting of this cache was a pleasure.
One disappointment though - how can you have a Swiss Village without snow?
A great place for a cache so well done for putting it here. Gets a favourite vote from me.
Cheers and thanks;
OldSaint.

Found with the kids while staying a few hundred metres away. Nice stroll down the track, a short wait while the muggles moved off, and a nice easy find for the the kids. TNLN
Found this easily. Down a long dirt road. didn't think we were doing the right thing, but all of a sudden we were where we needed to be. TFTC
A quick, easy find. The hard part was putting the cache back - had to sit casually at the tee off until a shirtless muggle golfer finished unskillfully hitting all but one of his balls into the water hazard. Maybe he should take up caching instead. TFTC.
While my wife attended a conference in Launceston I was allowed to go caching for two days in and around the Launceston Area. In the end I managed to go through to Derby and get the icem cache I wanted to find, through to Kayena and check my caches there and clear out the majority of Launceston Traditionals that were actually there. The only one that I failed to get was "Power to the People", where I simply ran out of time.
Found this cache after a fair search, and I was just about to give up when I saw something suspect. Thank you for the cache.

Found after short hunt. End of day so muggle free. Had fridge magnet but box too full. Took bug anyway to keep him moving. Apologies if anyone is upset!
Lovely fresh day for a walk to the geocache
and YAY finally we placed travelling roary..
and YAY finally we placed travelling roary..
Looked in all the wrong places and avoided some muggle golfers as well as a muggle mower but found in the end. Thanks for organizing the cache 
Found with my cousin who i'm staying with while in Tasmania, We can actually see his house from this cache...
Just for a change I was bitten by something other than a blackberry bush here. Don't know if it was a thistle or an ant or a spider or something else but my finger is still up 27 hours after the fact. Well hidden cache.
found this easy with all the hints and we live in grindelwald so that helps quite alot. Took marble left ring. really wanted to take the 1,000,000 but children wanted the marble.
Petrol light was starting to glow so needed to find GZ without too much driving around. With the help of Skippy, who also led us to the cache itself, mission completed fairly quickly. “Thanks Skip. What’s that? You’ve seen lots of people try this before…”
