BEHIND THE ROCK Windermere, Tasmania, Australia

As there's been either no response from the cache owner, no cache to find or log to sign, I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace/make available the cache sometime in the near future (next 30 days), just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the current guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.

needs replacing will do as soon as possible
sry

Found after a little hunting well hidden, nice one flange. Cache is damaged though and unable to remove log to sign. Needs maintenance.

Cache is stuck in its location. Not sure if it is ment to be but either way the log is damaged and unable to be signed.

Ah nothing like some early morning caching. Finally on the 3rd attempt I found it. Very very sneaky. Thanks for the great hide. Kept me keen, cheers.

The log was un-retrievable. It's just too wet and needs replacing.

WET LOG......will slip out and replace over weekend

Looked for a good hour but with no luck. Will have to call in reinforcements to have another go. Can anyone confirm this cache is still there?

SURE IS STILL THERE...happy hunting

Had a good look no luck for us today will have to return when our caching eyes are fine tuned.

Found this cache after a few minutes of looking and scratching the head. Unfortunately the log inside was nothing but pulp which totally disintegrated as we carefully tried to remove it. The cache container doesn't seem up to the job. TFTC.

AuntyTom found this one after UncleTom and I had both looked straight past it. Sadly the log was too wet to retrieve. It could do with one of those bullet shaped containers within this one. Awesome hide though - so would love to see it repaired.

MMMMMMMMMM, yep tricky. Took some time but with some thought and keen eyes we had it. We were unable to sign the log paper because it is wet.
Its a top cache for the keen cachers. Thanks flange 1&tribe for the cache

This is my second visit to the location for no result last time.

On previous occansion I poked around and found nothing. Continued that trend this time - but once I thought a bit more openly I hit upon the cache immediately.

Log paper has been changed recently (second log on it) but again is very wet, a problem with this type of cache I fear.

TFTC

Finally found this one, (it took 3 attempts), and it was so obvious when I spotted it! It just shows that careful reading of the clues will give the information needed. TFTC!

G'day all


We replaced the cache and log today so all is well at GZ

Thnx
ENJOY

Hi Flange _1, container is broken and letting wwater. May need to be completely replaced.

Clever hide, took me three visits! Cache needs repair, very wet and container and container broken. I think this is the third of Falnge_1's for the day. TFTC.

Had a good hunt for this one, but we weren't able to find it. Tiredness was definitely becoming a factor. Cheers Gav

Visited in the dark of night.
Didn't manage to find it.

Found this cache today. Unfortunately the container was cracked and full of water. The small log inside was nothing but pulp which totally disintegrated as we carefully tried to remove it. We dried things out as much as we could and placed a small replacement log inside. However, this will also get very wet with the next rain. The cache container needs prompt maintenance. TFTC

It took us some time to find this cache - we let ourselves be restricted to searching behind the numerous rocks in the area. Once we took a wider perspective, the cache was located. Unfortunately the container was cracked and full of water. The small log inside was nothing but pulp which totally disintegrated as we carefully tried to remove it. We dried things out as much as we could and placed a small replacement log inside. However, this will also get very wet with the next rain. The cache container needs prompt maintenance. TFTC

Nice hide! Log is very damp though. TFTC

Not a hard find provided you have Mrs Neribil with you and she looks about at things staring you in the eye while I looked under rocks. Anyway who takes notice of hints. lol Thanks

We first gave up after looking where everybody else did. Then I fired up the PDA onto the net and read all the other logs. Almost gave up a second time as it's just a drive by. Looking across at the other half and my eagle eye spotted what we where after. We got a few strange looks from the 3 cars that came past. Nice hide but it does need a new container.

This was our last cache of the day on our tour around the Tamar valley with maccamob, as they had already found the cache they decided to take us there and watch the fun. We arrived at gz and with maccamob watching on we started our search just as the rain started to get a bit heavier. After about 5 minutes maccamob took pity on us in the rain and gave us the hint that you are very warm now and the clever hide was revealed
Thanks FLANGE_1&TRIBE, they say imitation is the best form of flattery so we may have to flatter you in Victoria somewhere

i went about 2 weeks ago and couldn't find it but after reading the comments it was sooo obvious

Found by Mary & David at 1845. Had us going for a while, before Mary spotted it while David was checking elsewhere in what seemed to be obvious places. Great fun. The container is cracked though, allowing some moisture to penetrate. Our thanks to FLANGE_1&TRIBE.

We did return and found it this time 3min at it
nice hide well done TFTC SL

an aptly named cache
Thanks FLANGE_1&TRIBE

Came here with GoldJ who wanted to watch us struggle. Our 13th find for the day. A very clever hide. TFTC

Found with dean_erwin.

We looked behind many rocks before it occurred to me that this hide must be cleverer than just under a rock, and it was! Nice job

This was a challenge, but after reading previous logs and DNF's we decided to think laterally and came up with the cache fairly quickly. A very clever hide. TFTC

well this one certainly consumed a bit more time than aticipated, but it is always good to find a tricky one. thanks (you allmost made me late knocking off work)

Tricky find, with a bit of help from my phone a friend, Madchilli, was found easily, like others have said, staring you in the face!

First words when found..'Bloody Oath!' haha, thank you Chilli! [:X]. Great hide. Flange, the log is getting full, on one side anyway, also a bit damp.

DNF. searched behind a few rock. will have to try again later. cheers dwhite774

30 min at it thinkin cryiptic no good BUT I will be Back

Will be back to find this one, I think we looked for about 1/2 hour!

very very hard find but i will be back to find it.

Was there for a while and finaly stood back and thought look at this a different way and my next thought was correct.
Good hide.
Thanks FLANGE_1&TRIBE

I had a couple of DNF's today
This was one of them
Thanks anyway

Lots of searching in vain initially....checking on GPSr....it's got be here...almost gave up...sat back in car and noticed the GPSr had swung a little...distance shorter....ok...lets have another look.....bingo....lot of satisfaction in finding this one...co-ords spot on too....very sneaky...but clever hide....and I'm sure will remain muggle free. Top notch hide for sure...many thanks Flange-1 & Tribe....Cheers.

Finally got back to grab this one, very clever, ALTHOUGH the clue did lead us astray the fist couple of attempts…..
But no excuse, there were plenty of others that found it and after all as I stated in our previous log…..….it is staring you in the face!!!!!!!!
Thanks guys, top hide………..

Spent 20 minutes looking and thinking.

No luck finding the cache.... A micro? Here? Haystacking much?

Anyhow, interesting rock feature none the less.

Thanks all the same, maybe another time I'll have luck...

A quirky little spot for a cache
When I arrived I saw many rocks [:o]
So I dived in and began frantically searching with no success [B)]
After a while I checked the cache notes again.
It was almost like there were instructions hidden in there.
A bit like in the National Treasure movies
Sure enough I followed the cryptic clues and wouldn't you know it there was the cache looking back at me

No cars or trains passed during my time behind the rock [^]

Stopped on our way to the beach for the day, I have relatives up this road so I already knew where the road didnt go. I was looking in all the wrong places to start with....(no, Im not gunna call him) then a call out from the car made me look out from under the rock I had managed to squeeze under........ and have a look at that. Another clever hide by flange and tribe

Another micro..no hint...WHICH ROCK...another dismal spot as well. Heck...are you related to a geocacher down this way??? You've obviously got a lot more faith in accurate co-ords than me. Don't forget +/- 5m radius is the norm.

Think I may have been ‘looking’ for the wrong thing here after reading the previous logs. Funny how you can miss something that’s probably staring you in the face when your focus is on looking for something else…….
Keen to get back to this one with a different outlook…..
Love these caches………

Even after a chat to the owner the night before about the new style of caches he is hiding I needed to resort to Phone-a-friend !! 20 minutes of searching dodging the spiders and prickles....(crocs and shorts suck when bushing) and allowing my heart to flutter when a snake, well a snake looking lizard slithered off into the bushes adjacent to my foot! A quick flick of the stamp and pen and this one was done, not much of a sense of accomplishment though! Thanks Flange and TRIBE LOL

excellent spot, found it after 15 mins looking at every rock but had to wander back to car to get pens which would work; a 4wd with roof mount gps aerial and map logo on doors passed me while I was rocking along.
