This was like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Tummy is rumbling so I think I’ll head into George Town for some tucker.

A nice walk back along the bike path.
The clue was great but the container was not.
Saturated logbook too.
Must be replaced I think.
Thanks centurianTAS

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!
On the West side cache soaked logs wet
Thanks, CenturionTas for placing the cache

TFTC. Cache container is looking tired and requires replacement. Log is dry though. Lovely walk.
A nice little walk to the cash. Cash damaged and log damp. Thank you for the cache from GeoMaggie and her sidekick Bonnie.
out and about with 1 Lil Rafa today caching in the northern part of the state, having completed most of the caches on the Midlands Highway its a straight through trip to Launceston or beyond, easy find with clues, TFTC TNLN log dry, a nice walk in the area to gather a smiley for the area. TFTC TNLN log dry.
Thanks for the cache centurionTAS. Heading north today with RLD4963 for a weekend away at Low Head. Decided to take a few little diversions along the way to find some caches, and so headed to the Bell Bay area. Interesting little track here, we made our way to GZ and soon spotted the cache. Thanks for adding to the caches in the area.
I snuck up on this cache from a side track along the fenceline and once on the bike track and counting the posts, a very easy find, possibly a little too easy, so I made it a little less obvious. TFTC.
TFTC nice walking track. Cache in good condition Took path tag. [^]
Thank you and greetings from Germany send Moorhelmi.

Day fifteen of our holiday in Tassie. Bettyboo3747 and I are still staying at Low Head Pilot Station.
The forecast was wet, wet, wet, but more so in the afternoon (windy goes without saying!), so we jumped into the geomobile and set off for a couple of puzzles we solved last night, and a few other caches around George Town. Cached until it starting really raining, the scarpered back to the Pilot Station Cafe for lunch, then a tour of the Maritime Museum in the afternoon.
We were wondering where this track go to (and from).
A short walk and the v=cache was soon in hand.
Unfortunately the container is badly damaged and needs replacement.
Thanks, Robmc.

#14442. Day 15 of our 3 week holiday in Tasmania. Robmc and I are still staying at Low Head - such a wild and windy place today and I suspect most of the time, in fact! It is blowing like a banshee and with some heavy rain also has been rather bleak today. However, we drove back in to George Town and managed to gather up 11 caches for the morning before retreating back to the Pilot Station for lunch and a Museum Tour.
Took a short walk along the fence-line to the bike track. Went over the side and bingo a cache to hand. It does need maintenance and I will put in a separate log for that. The bottom of the container has broken and disintegrated. At this stage the log book is OK so we added our names and headed back to the car, just as the rains hit.

On a bike ride around Georgetown today,
I was wondering if there was a better way,
to Bell Bay by bike than the main road.
The main road is not a road you want to ride a bike along,
as it is rather narrow where it crosses the railway line [:o]
This cache showed me the way to avoid that menace
A good quality bike path it is too [^]
And along the way I stopped for a quick,
ride-by find
TFTC !!

Hi there centurionTAS.
We found your cache **"On Yer Bike !"** at 11:16:00 AM today. (This brings our total find count to 18661).
Yesterday nothing seemed to go according to plan. Everything just seemed to go wrong - but today was quite different and the sky gods smiled on us. Today we decided to revisit the caches we couldn't find yesterday, and then take a "next closest" approach to find a few more, & ended up finding a variety of container types and sizes on our journey. We had an absolutely wonderful drive and our count for the day was 13 finds (& 2 DNF's).
Thank you for placing this cache here, without geocaching as our guide we would never have found so many interesting places to visit on our nomadic wander around Australia.
**Cache Condition:** The container is cracked. The log book is in good shape.
**Coordinate Accuracy:** We found the cache around 2m from where the GPS said we should be looking.
**Took:** Nothing.
**Left:** Smiley Badge.
Thanks for the hunt today,
Regards
Ian & Penny.

Found this at the end of our ride along the rail trail up to Sheffield and back. Cache is in good condition.
We parked the motorhome near the railway crossing & hopped on shank's pony as we'd sold the bikes several years ago. The walk in was very pleasant, as it often is along these sealed (& yay, flat!) bike tracks. I'd like to say that the detailed hint led to a quick find but actually it led to Sarah Jane (aka Mrs Tardis) slipping on the bank which in turn led to a quick find of the cache she cleverly unearthed in her slippage.
Found it after a pleasant stroll. Smoky today but otherwise it's a lovely day for caching. TFTC This is a lovely area and we're enjoying our third day's caching here. The weather is perfect though overcast. Also looking forward to the event on this evening to meet and thank all the Tassie CO's who have added so much fun to our touring here.
We've now only got four 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 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!

Good hiding spot. Nice place for a walk even though the town is blanketed in smoke today! TFTC.
Very quick find once we actually looked at the size of the cache, very quiet on the track today, TFTC
Parked the 4x4 and wandered down the bike track for a quick find.

Travelling around Australia and now in Tasmania!
Headed out on a glorious day to visit Bell Bay and George Town.
The morning was indeed glorious but after lunch it was a bit windy but still sunny.
We managed to find your cache today.
Mr Felix made the 'trek' to this cache. Was hoping to see a train but not today.

Was a little lazy today, considered walking the longer route, nope.. too hard, drove to the closer end for a quick find.. thanks..!!
We parked at the northern end near the train line and again the kids didn't want to walk so the egg stayed with them on the car while I did a solo run. Walking along the path through the bush I was surrounded by butterflies. The kids would have loved it if they had bothered. As our GPS was a lost cause all weekend we had to reply on out smart phones. Not being that accurate I decided to use the hint so went past the cache and counted back to it. A quick find once I got there. So happy nobody came along on their bike. How would I explain what I was doing. No problem, not a soul in sight. TFTC
Off for a family walk and thought we would take our walk along the bike track. Log book is damp but you expect that in this winter weather!
A lovely day for a walk on a well maintained track, at least the part we saw. mr sharnie's tribe made the find. Left a TB to further it's journey. TFTC
Nice easy find thanks off a good track. A bit of a scratch around had the cache in hand. 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.
My boyfriend found it!
Had a nice walk along the track, bit worried about seeing a snake, but no snakes today, yay!

Geo son & jennydoug did retrieval. Watch out for Jack Jumper nest to right of approach to GZ. Tftc SL
Another place we never knew existed. Must be nice to escape the healthy confines of TEMCO and enjoy this area. TFTC
Mr and Mrs Seek3rs are over in Tasmania on holidaying from SA ...
Another day of caching in and around George Town ...
Wow ... this would be a nice bike path to cycle to work on.
Mrs Seek3rs was still counting the posts from the southern end, when Mr Seek3rs had already found it.
A very pleasant stroll after parking near the railway line.
Added Seek3rs sticker and date to the log.

Day 7 of our escape from the NT trip, seeking some relief from the tropical build up
A very pleasant stroll down along the track from the railway crossing. Mr TiedyeSmileys launched himself way past the cache checking out the trees while Mrs TiedyeSmileys grabbed the cache.

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.
Took awhile to find a good entrance.

TFTC..Nice lunch break walk on my working day. Not too difficult to find. Took nothing, left nothing.
Nice cache. Missed it x2 - GPS inaccurate. Got hint and found quickly. TNLNSL
This is a great track. We made a quick find as we were the only ones in the area. TFTC
Should have done it straight away as I found a couple this weekend. Pretty sure it was this cache. Needs a new logbook as the old one is just about full.
Found it on our trip around Tassie. ...not on the bike but with the campervan

13/04/2011 20:49 Found: #375 It was tricky to find the start of the track in the dark. After doubling back I parked near the train crossing. A very dark walk made a little easier by the 1/2 moon that was out. Thankfully there was NO more rain and of course no muggles. Found GZ and hunted about by torchlight till I spotted the camo'ed box. It was dry and large enough for me to leave a TB. TFTC TN SL TB IN: TB2J1Y7
An enjoyable walk towards the cache. Found it nice and easy.
Thanks centurionTAS for the cache.
