120 RETURN Bridport, Tasmania, Australia

The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention.

I am temporarily disabling it, to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary.

Please respond to this situation in a timely manner (i.e., within 28 days) to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness.

If you require more time please be sure to post a note (not an email) explaining the situation and how much more time you require.

For ongoing issues please ensure you visit the listing and post a new note every 28 days to keep everyone up to date or the cache will be treated as an abandoned cache and archived without further notice.

This hasn't been found for a year and the owner has ignored needs maintenance requests.

No find here...adding to the growing list of DNFs. Might need a maintenance check.

Suspect this cache has been overgrown

We're not able to find. Suspect the cache has gone missing!

S 40° 58.870 E 147° 23.045
The original coordinates and the suggested correct ones by finders are about 33 metres apart, so this needs checking by the CO; plus the cache has not been found since March; almost nine months. I think this will be the third 'Needs Maintenance' request for this cache. CO really needs to check both the cache and the coordinates.

S 40° 58.870 E 147° 23.045
I used the corrected coordinates suggested by others, but poke and prod as much as I could among the thick undergrowth, I couldn't find the cache. The undergrowth is VERY thick and unyielding in that area.

Area a bit overgrown with a creeping weed and we couldn't find it

Had a thorough search at the coords and was a dnf. Maybe one day we will free return to search again.

A little bit of single-track on the geo-cycle MTB from Mermaid's Lookout (the previous cache), then a fast, slightly downhill run on the gravel to the cache location had me ready for the find. Fortunately the last cache finder had logged that co-ordinates need an update and I was able to go to the correct location for GZ. The hunt was paused as dog-walking muggles arrived at the car park from both the dog exercise area and the road on their way to the exercise area. Fortunately one of them assumed I was in a strange position as I was taking a photograph and apologised for getting into my viewfinder - I did not correct him. Lots of hiding places here, but after a bit of a search the cache was in hand. I added a robot stamp the collection of swaps and left my calling card. Took nothing, signed log. A good hide flange 1&tribe and it was appreciated.

We DNF'd here back in 2014 but then discovered the cache had been relocated. Came back with updated coords as per FelixII & Angus88 logs for a quick find. It does help when you look in the right spot!

Not for us today.

Wowsers. All I can say is what an epic search that turned out to be. Whilst the family was fishing off the rocks I thought I'd find this one. After walking away and coming back 3 times I was lucky not to be bitten by an army of jack jumpers. It was then that I spied what could be the possible location....yay...happy dance! SL@1810 hours TFTC. Left TB

Found and all in good order but..... About 40 metres away from the advertised coordinates. Refer to earlier entry by Felix II.

Tftc! Made a night time adventure of it, after a late dinner and armed with Dutch courage and some mission impossible theme tunes we waged war against the local bull ants we attempted to liberate the cache from its hidey hole. After a few too many bites and a lack of torches we took a tactical retreat for sleep and to rest our food belly's. Came back in the morning and used the new coordinates left by other geo-jungle hunters (-40N is the same as 40S) and found within 5
Loved the cache, great adventure !
Props to antman and eznu partners in crime

TFTC found with MacMay

Do not look at night, there are bullants everywhere!

I used a previous finders coordinates to take me straight to the cache! Walked the scenic track back to Bridport. Beautiful views on this track!

Been out to this one several times now and can't find it! If this is a easy one, I'm not too good at this! Lol

Had a DNF on this one last summer.
Read through recent logs and found some more accurate coordinates from FelixII which lead to a quick find.

Travelling around Australia and now in Tasmania!

After a couple of wet days it was nice to return to the sunny days we have become used to here in Tasmania.

A day trip up to Bridport, Weymouth and Bellingham saw some lovely beaches and interesting areas.

This cache was located at S40 58.870 E147 23.045

TFTC flange_1&tribe

Coords need updating. S40 58.870 E147 23.045

Found cache replacement. From 21/04/14 by Angus88

No luck with this one.

Camping at Bridport and decided to get a couple of caches. Co Ords to this one are approximately 40meters out.

Thank goodness we found it. We were getting disheartened! New coords got us to GZ with '5 m to go'. Didn't think we'd have to Bush bash, and luckily we were right. Ended up parking right beside it without knowing!

We had to wait for muggles that had parked almost on top of it to move. Once the coast was clear we swooped and quickly signed the log but before we could return it a van came in. Fortunately he parked at the start of the walking tracks - I think the proper gz area, so we were safe to replace it . TFTC

took a while to find and was worried about spiders and snakes. Thought it was a bit dangerous and looked at other posts only to discover it had been moved- as the previous log said. The pen or pencil has gone and didn't have one small enough to fit in. My mother in law found it- she came for a walk with me and got really excited when she found it. (At age 80!)

Located at 40 58.865. 147 23.045
Hollow hog hint from previous log helped

We were camping at Bridport with our friends for 4 nights. When we were walking along the road to find this cache a white cockatoo flew over our head and landed in a tree and then said hello, he continue to follow us as we made our way to GZ. After a little searching we had the cache in hand.TFTC. We really enjoyed the walk with our new feathered friend.

Thankyou far from grey for telling me about the updated co ords. Wouldn't of found it otherwise. TFTC

Read log dated 21/10/14 and it make it an easy find. TFTC

#2913 - 18:50; After unsuccessful attempts to locate this cache on my previous two visits, I was a little more optimistic this time around after checking recent logs. Made my way to the general area of GZ and using the updated coords and hint made a quick find. TFTC flange_1&tribe and especially Angus 88 for the replacement

Found it after a bit of looking in old spot cute box and left something

Took half an hour and was quite challenging to find. New instructions helped. Cars parked in front didn't.

Indeed, cords no help so look at the logs (particularly the hollow log). Took a lady bug that looked like it wanted to travel.

Found with Hearse068, Zobo04 and Hearse068's geo child. It was a quick trip to tassie to do some sight seeing and geocaching. We had a great time in the 3 days that we had here. Started in Launceston made it to Swansee up to Bicheno, St Helens, Pyenganna, Bridport, George Town and back to Launceston. We found 50 odd caches in our time here and this was one of them. This was nearly a DNF for us as we did not realize it had been moved and the COORDS had not been updated. TFTC

Found with Gonefishen07, Zobo04 and my geo son on a quick trip to Tassie to do some sight seeing and some caching. We almost gave up on this one when GF07 noticed in logs that the cache had been moved. I was happy we were using phones and not GPS's as my GPS would not have loaded enough logs to see the new coords. This should be a quick find the coords need to be updated please. SL TFTC

Found with Gonefishen07, Hears068 and my cuz. We came to tassie for a quick trip. Sightseeing and caching on the menu. We had a great time while here and will hopefully be back soon. Thanks to those that placed caches to make our holiday fun. TFTC

How about updating coords on cache page please wasted to much time looking here in the wrong spot.

A quick find with the aid of past logs. A lovely quiet spot but very windy today. TFTC

TFTC what a cute little container!

This cache was replaced. Please read log of 20/4/14.

Found it

Found the new one

With Ashley & Geana

this one was fun, good hide ✌️

Great walk with my wife. No pen however but logged it anyway. TFTC

I have replaced this cache. After 5 DNFs (and how many not logged?) this cache is obviously either MIA or totally overgrown. New location. Approx 35m from original GZ behind the end of a log about half way along the old log retaining wall. Log book, some mini swaps, two badges, no pencil. Please re-cover with leaf litter to ensure longevity as I am a traveller and cannot maintain. New co-ordinates on the day were S40 58.869 E147 23.041. Happy hunting. Angus the great GeoWestie assisted by grey nomad Carer Lis Brown en route from Bundaberg Qld to Perth WA via all of Tasmania.

Another DNF on our Tassie trip. Are they just harder down here?

Didn't find :/ hints anyone??

Having the GPS batteries die as we hit GZ didn't help a lot and the spares were back at camp but we had a good rummage around and couldn't find it. maybe next time

No luck with this one today unfortunately

DNF, too overgrown and public.

Gotcha !!! TFTC

Almost busted by dog walker muggle from one direction, and then tourists from the other. Busy area today. TFTC

Beautiful day- almost summer and no one in sight. A quick and easy find. TFTC

We feared that we were going to be thrawted in our efforts to get this one by firstly the officials for the run that was happening and secondly the dog walkers. We went for a walk to the beach and luckily all muggles disappeared as we returned. T came up with the goods whilst the area was deserted. TFTC

An easy find but cache is a tad damp after a costal Tasmanian winter.

Found on a wet wintery day!
TFTF

took some time but got it in the end, not sure if this is meant to be its original location. TFTC flang 1&tribe

We looked and looked and then checked the past logs and looked again
TFTC

Quick find with Justjessie on day 2 of our Tasmanian caching tour. The recent DNF's a are a bit of a mystery??

Found this one without too much looking. TFTC

Found after a short search, however not sure if this is meant to be its original location. TFTC

Not sure whether this cache is still here. We couldn't locate it either.

Looked everywhere logical even near the 1hr 20min sign lots off possible spots but no luck

No could find ! Seemed like an obvious spot had been rummaged through...

#406 After much hunting, an eventual successful find.

Cadet camp! Thought Geskus and I would introduce the boys to some geocaching after a walk from the camp to Adam's where we played baseball on the beach. Thanks for this one. Found by one of the boys.

Cool found it with cadet club 12 excited kids

Easy when you think about it! Thanks for the cache!

TFTC.

Found after looking back in first spot

Found on the second attempt after a small hint from the owner. Thanks. Not sure how I missed it the first time! Nice spot next to the ocean here. Walked in a different way this morning.

Really thorough search for 20 mins turned up nothing. I think it's gone.

Nice quick find on our Tassie Tour. TFTC from N. Ireland

Visiting from Newcastle NSW, TFTC flange 1&tribe!!

Nice quiet spot

Nice quiet spot

It was in the first place that I looked, but I looked several other places before I went back to the first place and reached in better.
SL TFTC

Found on our North East caravan and caching weekend, TFTC

Tftc flange. Quick find. Nice 4wding in the xr.

Took some finding but a good search with the billy lids doing the hard yards and it was in hand (bit soggy tho):D

A quick search soon had this one in hand. GPS was pretty well spot on. Cache is a bit damp, but there had been a lot of rain the previous night. Good views, another place we probably would not have been to, if it were not for caching. TFTC TN, left jet fighter plane.

Took 10 mins. To find correct large rock, good cache. Easy once you have correct path. Tftc.tnln.

Well I don't know about Swampy - I thought he would have found this one.....

We found this cache very quickly and from the logs it seems that it is either a quick find or no find at all. It is on coordinates and fairly well out there.

Cache is in good condition

DNF #2
If it supposed to be under the really big rock, hidden by a smaller rock, then its not.
I think a hint is in order as the place is starting to get trashed as everyone that attempts to find it and is unsuccesful will continue to trash it.

Ummmm very frustarting and after looking for quite a while and re-reading previous logs and then looking again, went away from here empty handed. There seem to be quite a few DNF's for this cache and you can add me to that list. Will try again next time I'm at this end of the state

Our Nemisis.....found! I think over the 4 trips out here we have looked for this one for about 2 and half hours. And it was in the place that we had looked, more than once, for some reason today we put our hand on it straight away! Any way this was a lovely place to come a visit, over and over again! Thanks Flange!

forgot to log this one while on our tassie c/van tour tnln great spot

great hide

cheeky spot, would not want to be looking in mid-summer though!

Sent from my mobile device.

No luck today, even after some excavation, TFTH and the nice views in the area

Well we donned the glove and prodded, poked and generally fossicked around with no luck whatsoever. No doubt it's there somewhere, but WHERE????
