Unfortunately a DNF today with Arkbell80. Attempted in twilight with torches but signs of a recent land slide at what we believe to be GZ could be it's demise. Enjoyed the walk though.
Had a very good look around for this cache but looks like there has been a recent landslide and the cache may be lost. Please check.
Staying at the caravan park, read the logs so went loaded with some new cache containers and paper...couldnt find the old one so not replaced. Thanks for the lovely walk.
I will replace this as soon as I can but if someone did it for me I would be a happy chappy.
Very rusty and crusty! Couldn't get log out. Took picture! Thanks

I got close but the tide was high. I thought about a climb down, but not for a rusty mint tin. I have a couple of days left in Tasmania, I may try at a low tide.

We walked along the beach after we had found Snug as a bug. Approaching the Twins the tide was coming in so it was shoes off and into knee deep water, which was very nice on such a hot day. Made our way slowly around to GZ and after a few minutes of searching we where signing the log. Thanks for the cache robtas
Thanks for bringing us to this beautiful spot! Cache damaged, and hard to get out - it was in a spot I checked twice before finding it.
Finding this one was a little harder than I anticipated, but after reading a few of the previous logs figured out where I could find this. Above me on the road, I could hear mum talking to some other cachers also looking for this one!
As previously noted, this cache could use some TLC. The lid is missing and the rest of the container is rusting. Log is also nearly full.
Thank you for bringing me to this lovely area!

Took our boys inc one set of twins to find this one after tea found it after having read the last few activitys quite easy
CO cache had lid missing and will probably erode away with the next storm

TWINS ROCK!
Walked along the beach to find this one, but just as we were signing the log a muggle family turned up to take pictures and climb on the rocks. So we decided to walk a little further on the beach and return later to replace the cache unseen.

Would love to had ticked this cache of the list today
I am also a twin
Tide was against us looking for this one sadly
Perhaps when back here visiting I will be able to locate the cache
ps. Only a twin would know how SPECIAL it is to be a TWIN

Found with kirbstars. A great find though what we thought were rocks were actually great big lumps of clay so we came out a bit muddy! Great area, FTFC!
Took about 5 minutes to get this one as we weren't quite expecting it to be where it was. TFTC.
Lid was off as hinge is broken. But damp. Pushed lid back on but could do with new container. TFTC
Enjoyed seeing the twin sandstone columns and the little nooks and crannies around this area. TFTC
First thing for the day was orienteering at Coningham. Completed a pretty reasonable course and then took the scenic drive through Snug. Beautiful area and a very pleasant day to visit it. Found way down from the road without too much effort. Located potential hide quickly enough but must have been a very tall person to be "head height". Scrambled up a little and found lid-less cache All dry and happy here.

Lovely little spot for an after dinner walk while staying in the area. Managed to catch the tide not too high. Cache container is missing it's lid so might need a look but otherwise everything high and dry. TFTC
Found 08.02.14. Second attempt. Container has lost its lid. Lovely bay, nice beach walk. TFTC
A nice walk along the beach, and enjoyed the views. The clue went over our heads!! Luckily, Daisy has long arms. TFTC TNLN
TFTC. Cache still needs maintenance. And hint only appropriate for those of a lest modest stature.
Found this cash but container is in a bad way so we will return tomorrow and replace it.

Cache found during my stay in Tasmania! Thank you for this discovery

It looks like there has been significant slippage of the sandstone and clay. I suspect this cache is a the bottom. TFTH
Second attempt to find this one without any luck. It looked like a lot of water may have washed down the cliff face lately.
The tide was just low enough for us to make our way around and along the rocks. The clay/mud near the cache is quite sticky isn't it. Liked the view of the "twins" and out over the channel.
Impressed by the colours in the sandstone along here and the Twins rock formation makes for good photos too. Hubby needed an extra extra long arm to get this one. tftc
A nice walk around the beach from cache "Snug".
Although we aren't exactly midgets, neither of us are particularly tall which created a bit of a challenge!
Thanks robtas, a very interesting spot with the sandstone columns.

Easy find on a sunny morning. The difficult part was getting to the actual cache - more risky than the rating suggested. TNLN. Thanks robtas.
Awesome rock formations. Cache a bit of a stretch for us vertically challenged cachers
By looking at the cachers track, did what I suggest most people do and scaled the cliff face and then reached up high to locate the cache. A good one, cheers!
DNF yesterday. Came back today with the hint in mind and found the cache within seconds. Needed two more minutes to grab a pen out of my car to sign the log book. TFTC robtas!
We had previously looked for this cache when it was missing. Now that it has been replaced (thanks Liz and Bruce), and as it was close to low tide, we thought we would take another look. Today it was a quick find as the first place we looked was where we thought it should have been before. A temporary construction and the cache was in hand. It was lovely down on the shoreline this morning - calm, warm and great views. TFTC robtas.

What a fantastic spot - geokids and geoteens loved scrambling around the rocks and snapping off some great pics. Swapped a couple of erasers for an angry bird. A great hide thanks robtas

A perfect spot for an excellent cache. Geomum is not good on rocks but geodad & geokid did the scramble and came up with the goods. Took GC to move on, left 4 little erasers. We also removed a fish hook that someone had left in the cache, whether intended or not - damn dangerous. Geodad returned the cache and then scrambled up the bank. TFTC
TFTF. Left geocoin that is supposed to visit coastal towns but was last found in the middle of Tassie. Its taken me a few years to get it here!
Given the amount of DNFs and the obvious spot where the cache looked like in accordance with the hint we decided to replace the cache. Loved the outlook and the Twins! thanks robtas.
Went a caching on a lovely afternoon with all of blindfreddies including the dog and could not find it. Found the exact spot we thought it should be and checked prior logs and am certain that we've found the spot. Could the owner please check this as we are certain that it's gone
We found a location consistent with the coordinates, information and clue but there wasn't a cache. We think that it has gone. We would appreciate this ccahe being checked.
found with debanco and (+1) tftc (been very slack on the logs and now catching up)
Looked like tide was coming in so attacked this one quickly. Managed to keep feet dry by keeping on the higher rocks. Sl tftc
Very,Very windy today. Thanks for placing this cache here. I have driven through Snug hundreds of times but never along this road amazing whats under your nose.
Nice spot, perfect day, although the hint on this one seems to be based on the average Harlem Globetrotter.
Only a short distance from where Trecaz Trakie TB was parked, we had to wait until the tide changed to come and find this one. Realised afterwards we accidentally put the wrong date (28th)in the logbook after the previous finder had written the 29th and we thought that was wrong. TNLN, but admired the twins. Thanks for another find on our 2011 Tassie Trek robtas.
Found with whitewebbs on our "Down South" caching holiday, Mrs W and Mrs T are twins so we had to do this one. Thanks for showing us the twins and for the cache. BTW erosion will eventually dislodge cache from its position as just hanging in there ATM
Great to do this cache as Mrs T and Mrs W are twins. The rock formation is quite impressive. Thanks for bringing us here.TFTC.
Mmmm, more like triplets and one didn't listen. Nice stroll along the beach, quick find then out of there. Thanks rt
OK hire car sand clay really don't mix. Still just walked down without slidding, looked around and realised that I needed to be half way up. Standing on the edge signed log before continuing on and upwards.

We arrived from the sunny Gold Coast the day before to a very cold and wet Hobart. Still, this didn't deter us. We found the Twins quite near to where we were visiting for a day or two. We dropped off the "Undercover Duo's Double Decker" TB. An interesting coastal landfrom for a geographer. See attached photos.

What a beautiful stroll along the beach with our two little geokids, fun to climb over some rocks, the tide was just right. Thanks
A nice walk on the beach before the tide turned, and an easy find.
TNLN. Thanks.
TNLN. Thanks.
Two very interesting twins. Thanks for showing them to us. A quick find after a short stroll along the beach in the water.
What a lovely little beach. The TWINS were quite amazing just there by themselves. Found cache easily with hint. TFTC
Wow! Beautiful Twins. Lucky for us as the tide was low.
Thanks robtas for the cached.

Could not find it.
Hate to admit it, I could not find it. I looked high, I looked low (well not that low).
Had to log my visit though to thank you for bring us to this magic spot whilst on our Tassie holiday.
