Following a long string of DNFs, the CO might want to have a look in on this one
I dropped by on another hunt today and saw this was in the locality. Had a good hunt around, but couldn't produce the goods.
Like the two before us, we were also unsuccessful. Might be worth a cache check?
Upended about 100 of the 200 available before we gave up. Felt a bit like dorks doing so. Way too hard for us.
We have spent a beautiful 10months living in the derwent valley. I found a place I want to call home. Just gotta return to the hussle and bussle of central Queensland to tidy up a few loose ends first. Bye bye my beautiful valley il b back some day
Tftc. Nice easy find on a chilly night. But the 2 trackables listed were not in the cache.
Yay number 300!!! Found this one while getting a few in New Norfolk today. It was a race between all four Knights to see who would find our 300th, not long after Knight#4 had the cache in hand. TFTC. #300.
A quick find with the aid of the hint. With the rain today we'll only be doing drivebys and this one qualified. TFTC
Someone had swapped rocks but it didn't matter. Quick find. TFTC. Angus the great GeoWestie assisted by grey nomad Carer Lis Brown en route from Bundaberg Qld to Perth WA via all of Tasmania.
Cache found during my stay in Tasmania! Thank you for this discovery

Our first cache now we are back home in Tassie. Decided to stop on the way home. Needs a new log book. Nice easy cache to start it all off. TFTC
We love a quick driveby. The bag holding the cache was perished so we repalced with a new one to keep it dry. We have never stopped here before...just driven by. TFTC
The start of daylight savings means we can do more evening/after work caching, so we started tonight. A nice drive up the Derwent Valley. We took in the Historic Town and found the cache in no time at all. TFTC.
Found it. Little sister found it with me while Brokelux looked on and laughed again....I'm thinking this is becoming a bit of a theme...
Log book running out of space bag needs replacing little bit damp other wide still there good hide nice cache easy find with clues TFTC TNLN
Located with geo boy. The hint was technically right but had us a little fooled and checking all over.
Found with bogonghazy on a whirlwind 3 day trip to Hobart. Mixing some social outings with friends from over here and some time for reflection, with some caching in between. A nice quick find and we were on our way. Thanks for another of your hides.
On day 2 of a long weekend's assault on Tassie with Sully1, this was my turn to make the grab. Good hide here, out of the way. Thanks again scotty&lochie
Was passing through new norfolk and pulled over for a smoke break and what do you know there is a cache right here, after a short search soon had the cache in hand, soon signed and replaced.
Thanks for the cache.

Left no stone unturned, nor arm un-muddied. Found grubs, spiders, snails, but no cache. Maybe not my day.
Stopped here for the cache, get a lot of informations, found the cache and a TB - the only TB we found during our two and a half weeks in Tasmania.
