Went back to have one last look and to see if I may have overlooked anything and surprisingly the caches is there - definitely wasn't there when I checked it out the other day though. So not sure what you want to do with this cache now. 
Cache removed, I will keep an eye on this site to see if something can be put around this area.

# Well after 6 years and nearly 400 finds apparently this one had to go. Was fun while it lasted. #
A quick and easy park and grab on the way home from a successful afternoon of caching. Best to block your nose around here though, its a pretty view but its a bit stinky!!!!!! TFTC 
Found! Not easy to bring the logbook back in the box. Bytheway the logbook is full.
Took 20 seconds to find and 20 minutes to put the log back, and then everyone wonders why I can't stand nanos. TFTC anyways
Thank you for bringing me close to this wonderful piece of art. Contrary to a previous comment, I love this very clever "sculpture". From up the street closer to town it appears there is a tall ship docked on the river bank. I guess if you hadn't seen it you wouldn't know. Thank you for another fun afternoon. How lucky we are to have puzzles laid out for us!

What a strange construction, I presume it is supposed to suggest a sailing ship moored beyond the levy. ICW and I spent longer than we expected to find this one. Tftc.
Found by Facitman in the company of Rhinogeo during our trip south to see the Hawks at 10:03
Second cache of the day as we travelled around Launceston. Rhinogeo took some liberties in parking for this cache so we would have a very short walk to GZ but as it was a Sunday we got away with it. This was a quick find, surprising for a nano, so we had our log written and the cache replaced before another dog walker passed by.
Thanks Guripper and DGT

Just happened to be walking past this morning and I thought this might be a good place for a hide and bingo there was this cache. Awesome spot to admire your surrounds. Log is full however managed to sign and replace. TFTC.
Thought we would do a couple of quick finds before we flew back to Adelaide. Had a great time in Tassie. Missed the cache the first time, must have just missed it, found it on the second sweep. TFTC
Hiked down the hill from Red Letter Day #2 - could see this one from a ways off - now I've got to learn to tell the difference between "bow" and "stern". TFTC and the opportunity to see more of the city.
Such a sneaky hide. Took us a little while but I found it eventually with Benura on our visit.
In Launceston for a lunch and some shopping. Nice quick find. Thanks for the cache.
Found it! Very well disguised! Found by a local and one from Sydney.
TFTC!

Bit of a cool blowy day standing out here. Loved Custom House. Cache found safe and dry. Thanks Guripper and DGT.
What a great view of Custom House from here, and buildings along the waterfront further down. Interesting structures, too, at GZ. Found quickly in the first place I checked . TFTC, Guripper and DGT. =^.^=

The GeoCruiser had to go in for maintenance today so Mr Felix was on foot in the area waiting, waiting. [8)] But of course he made good use of his time finding some caches.
Looking forward to meeting local cachers at the Event on 17th October.

Beautiful stop by the river. Few muggles around but soon had it in hand
#1810 - Finally found after searching for it on Christmas day a few years ago. One we found the little critter we decided to use the base to have morning tea in the sun. All part of the fun and challenges on our AroundOz bicycle tour. Many thanks to Guripper and DGT for establishing and maintaining this semi-central cache.
This little one as a tricky one! At first we thought it was quite obvious where it was, but we just didn't find it. Quick search nearby but the coordinates were showing back to the first place so we checked that again, more properly, and there it was! I replaced the log and took old one out, so now there is some fresh paper in!
Owner: if you want the original logpaper, please send me your addres and I can mail it to you.

Together with Silli1310 and ElMapa, who accompanied us on our world trip for 4 weeks, we went to Tasmania. Together we rented a car and explored the island with day tours. Mostly we stayed for 2 nights in one place, did a nice hike and moved again the next day and did some short tours in between, which should be interesting according to our guidebook. While we were exploring the town and looking for a pub for a birthday party, we passed the tiny one. Thanks to many eyes, the box was quickly discovered despite its non-existent size and we were able to sign the logbook. In the end, winding up the logbook took longer than the search - but no matter. Many thanks for the cache.
On our [trip around the world](http://www.hoppundweg.piekar.de/) we came to Australia as well. We started in Tasmania, rented a campervan in Melbourne and went up the Eastcoast to Cairns. Then we drove all the way to the Red Centre. We finished in Darwin. We searched many caches and found almost every cache we searched for 
. Thanks to all the owners of these caches. Now, 2 years later, we recognized, we will never be able to log every cache seperately... So: Sorry for this standard logtext and thanks for one of the caches, which accompanied us on our journey.

Auf unserer dreiwöchigen Tour durch Tasmanien gemeinsam mit smellfooth, silli1310 und kapi84 hier vorbeigekommen und uns ins Logbuch eingeschrieben. TFTC.
My second attempt at this one, I don't give up easily. Took some finding and my fat hands made it more difficult to extract it once I located it. Persistence paid off and I had the cache in no time. Log is very full and needs replacing, I did squeeze my name on there though
Thanks for the challenging cache

Could next person to find please replace the log? We are unable to get to it for a little while. Thank you
Nice nano. Not too troublesome to find. Senior hunter spotted it after a bit of searching using the hint. It needs a new log book! There was no room for our log, but we claim it anyway
With 2 DNF I didn't expect to find it, but had it in hand immediately. Quickest nano ever for me. Log is chiclets but logged name in a teeny space.

A clever name for a sneaky little cache. We stopped here and took some photos after walking down from our nearby accommodation on our first full day in Launceston. A quick find was had, the weather was beautiful, there's humour in the cache name, what more can I ask for? TFTC Guripper and DGT.
On a bit of a walking tour around Launie and we saw that this cache was just down the Esplanade from where we were (past the brewery). As a tall-ship sailor, I could appreciate the cache location (though, without a hull, this ship is going to sink fast...) Made quick work of fiinding the prize. Thanks!
