Found my first cache find in Tassie. Heading back home after spending 5 days in Hobart & surrounds. Had some time on the way to the airport.Dropped a trackable in the container. There was a beautiful painted rock inside. TFTC

Bug drop.

Cool

Tftc! This is right up the road from work. Cool find.

Stage 2 of our trip was a few days in Tasmania. We headed over to Bruny Island to stay at a friends cabin before spending a day in Hobart. I dont think I have eaten as many delicious oysters in my life as I have over the last few days! Thanks to all the COs for placing and maintaining caches for us to find. I dropped off 3 and picked up 1 TB.

Nice and easy find. Mostly here to drop the TB. TFTC

Tftc road was busy at this time of day so Im sure I looked a bit suss

Took TBs for onward travel. TFTC

Big drop

Thanks for the cache, found while exploring TAS!

Very nice cache, found after lunch nearby at Frogmore Creek. Dropped TB no others in situ. TFTC

Great Hint! Easy Find! TFTC

Found it! Our last find in Tasmania. Log to follow.

I soon spotted where I thought it could be hidden, and I was right.

Just checking to see if there were any bugs that wanted to come back to Canada with me. Not today I guess. Visiting Australia in Tasmania. We are aiming for all the cool caches nearby as well as many different types. We have found the cachers around here super friendly and helpful. Thanks for the smile

found with janjorjack while on way to airport..neat hide..thks for the fun

In Tassie for the next few months. So many great places to visit and so many different caches to find.We've had alovely few day down here in Hobart and along the inlets. Now to start heading back north to our grand children. Picked this up while passing by, which was a quick find at GZ. Picked up a TB to continue it's journey.Thanks DnA! for placing the cache and doing the maintenance needed, so we can find this cache.

One last cache before we return the rental car and head back to New Zealand. Thanks to all the geocachers who've placed caches and Adventure Labs in Tasmania, We've had a great time during our nine days here and been tempted to some out of the way places in order to find caches. TFTC

TFTC

TFTC! A nice quick find, thanks to the hint. Decided to walk back to the car through the cemetery, rather than on the road.

Cache check and bug drop.

Visiting more TBs

Goldy and Jimmy are holidaying in Tasmania for a few days. A quick trip away from our regular life to see sights and find caches.I'm aiming to continue my daily streak and fill some Jasmer grid spots. As well as find some challenge caches and as many virtuals as I can.Our flight to Hobart landed at about 8PM, after picking up our rental car, we went to find this cache before heading to our accommodation. It was a quick find once on the correct side of the tree. A nice camo here. Good work.We signed the log and were on our way.Funnily enough, I have a trackable in my possession, which looks exactly like the cache camo here.My first find in Tasmania! Woohoo!I loved reading the history in the description. A favourite point for you!Thanks DnA! for this traditional cache, which brings Goldy's total find count to 3762 on the 9th of November 2023.CITO's are a brilliant way to help keep our community area's clean. The Earth is our playing field and we need to protect it! Always be sure to cache the "leave no trace" way!**South Australia is the place be for GCA1DNA - February 29th, 2024 in Adelaide! Hope to see you at The Great Leap Forward!**

Found on a trip to Tasmania with pineapplegoldy!Some caches have been signed as "Goldy and Jimmy". Goldy has sent answers and uploaded photos where applicable. TFTC

Visiting TBs to make sure they get the full distance on them before dropping off.

1st day of my trip to Tasmania together with Me&B. Cool. TFTC

Cool thanks

Lovely challenge for a nice Sunday afternoon

Found again with a new geocacher.

Found with dad and took trackable tftc

Nice find on our way to Bicheno. Picked up a tb to continue its travels.

Great hiding spot TFTC

Cool spot. TFTC

So awesome! Love the hiding spot

Taking some time off to explore more of the apple isle with RoamingHowie. Day Five: Finish TTSS & SSF, Richmond, New Norfolk and various caches & AdLabs along the way.

This was last on our list before heading to the airport. Retrieved a lovely geocoin to take back to the mainland. I hope it doesn’t push my carry-on luggage weight over the edge!

Thanks for bringing us here by placing this cache, DnA!
~~

It was time for a return trip to Tassie to explore the southern part of the state. I paired up with OzHockeyChick for a 5 day caching blitz with some sightseeing in between. It was sadly the final day and we were mopping up the end of the TTSS and SSF series while making our way from Orford to Hobart via a whole heap of other caches.

Final stop before our flight. Checked in on the guests at the hotel. Got a little poked and prodded by the surrounds but got there in the end.

Thanks DnA! for adding this cache to the worldwide collection for us all to enjoy.

Adelaide to Hobart Road Trip.
Day Six: New Norfolk to Hobart Airport and a flight home.
Weather: Chilly morning, sunny day.

I spotted this cache randomly after targeting two challenge caches nearby. This seemed like the ideal last cache of the road trip, although a twist occurred after I reached the airport.

I had two friends that worked in the Golden Wings lounges, one in Adelaide, one in Sydney. They both referred to the patrons as Golden Whingers. Airline Lounges seemed completely unobtainable to me back then, but later I started FIFO locuming and got to be Platinum with Qantas. I would have loved to seen what lounges were like back in the Golden Wings day, with no mobile phones and no miners. A different world.

I picked up a cache from the banks of the Franklin River where there was no phone reception, and only realised later that it’s mission is to visit World Heritage Areas. So I’ve swapped it for one of the other TBs here. Nice camouflage here!

Thanks for the cache DnA! A favourite.

It’s officially a mega.

We’d love to have your company.

Quick easy find

Nice spot sheltered from muggle views tftc

Well that was cute. Found on the way to Launceston to our new accommodation for the next 4 nights. We had a gander through the cemetery. Love thinking about what life would be like for these early pioneers. Took travel bug. Thanks DnA.

Only one trackable in cache. Taken and another left. TFTC

Didn’t need the hint, I had a swampy. TFTC

TFTC. Good bit of aviation history

TFTC - I love learning these little history facts!!

Caching around Tasmania. TFTC.
A great cache and hide. Very nice.

Nice camo - found quickly but definitely stealth required as road very busy today.
tftc DnA! and thanks for giving back to our game.

Thanks for the effort put into the cache
Have taken a yea Kable to hide in the next cache

Arrived from Melbourne and and travelling for work.
Based in WA, great to see some new country side.

Left a few PTs for the next finder TFTH

TFTC! Quick and easy park and grab

**Total find count: 1282**

A week away from the stresses of reality. a new state for the geocaching stats.

Cache was found with Crzymelly & TeamPQS.

Nice, easy find. Parking is best in the nearby side street.

Spotted two TBs in this cache. Have logged them as discovered.

When I first visited Oz, Ansett was still flying, too bad I didn't catch them back then. Now it's off to the airport for us, flying Virgin, after a fantastic time in Tassie. Taking a few TBs with us and leaving a few here in TAS. TFTC. TB in & out.

Came to drop some travel bugs..please note, there was no pathtag, and no geocoins/travel bugs, despite a lengthy list of them on the cache description. Left 3 tbs

I know that the taxi driver now thinks I’m crazy, but I arrived late into Hobart and took a taxi to the cache. It was a little difficult to find with my iPhone flashlight, but eventually I did. First cache in Tasmania! Thanks!

Left a Ms. Pac-Man pathtag. Took a travel bug and will take it to New Zealand as requested.

Dropped TBs from Nz

Finally got around to dropping by here on the way to the airport. Cache safe inside hidey hole while everything else is so wet around. Thanks

Had two TBs to drop off, thought they might want to stay in Tasmania. This was the perfect cache to do so.
Nice hide.
TFTC DnA!

Ive been eyeing this one for weeks, planning to drop a TB here before I head off to the mainland. This cache was SO SNEAKY. Hidden in plain sight!!! I was wondering where on earth you could hide a 1.5L container without it being muggled. Got pricked all over and cursed the difficulty rating until i realised that it was, in fact, right in front of me. Good riddance! So this is what a good, sneaky cache is!

Dropped off a TB. Have a FP!

Awesome hide everything nice and dry

Instant find on our first tassie cache, many thanks

Now that’s what I call a log! No TB’s might check it out later in the year when we jet home to NZ for a break

such an awesome find!! loved it so much! thank you

AWESOME SPOT. Loved the LOG book

Lovely old church. Quick find. Tftc!

Quick find, thanks Dna! Love the camo.

Came out to grab this one today and to check out the trackables. Unfortunately there weren’t any in there at the moment. Great hide though.
TFTC.

Nice

Came out this way just for the trackables, and no way did it disappoint, favourite for you!

Have been carrying around two travel bugs for the past couple if weeks, having brought them back from Victoria. Time for them to be moved on elsewhere so dropped them into the departure lounge. TFTC.

On the trip from Hobart to Eaglehawk neck, nice little stop over on the way. Logbook nice and dry

Tftc…great one!!!

12/5/22 TFTC Zahleh - great hide out!

TFTC

A nice quick find as I was dropping off the hire car.

Dropped a couple of TB's we'd picked up whilst in Tasmania that should travel around this beautiful place for a little while longer.

Thanks!!

TFTC. A good cache, found on the way to the airport.

2 happy kids found their first geocache of the day!!!

Nice hide! Never would have thought I’d have to clime into a tree!

27,036. Found with minniek during Day 2 of our Southern Australian meander.

After a fun day in Adelaide yesterday, we flew to Hobart this morning with an aim to do a short loop filling in some Local Government Areas. After picking up our hire car we started caching through our list. I was a member of the Golden Wing member, and spent many long hours waiting for flights in there. This was a nice quick find in an appropriate place for a defunct airline. Signed/Stamped the log, replaced the cache as found, then headed off to the next cache on the list.

Thanks DnA !!

Fitzy_1965 and I decided to do a bit of a whirlwind holiday visiting family and caching along the way. We did three states in four days. Tiring but so worth it. We are just waiting for Western Australia to open up and then we will be there too!

Day 2 saw us getting up early again to catch a flight to Hobart. Grateful for my Uncle being chauffeur and getting us to the airport on time. It was a fantastic day of caching which included collecting a number of LGA’s but turned wet and blustery as we headed up Mt Wellington. We ended the day with dinner at the Drunken Admiral on Hunter St….a fantastic experience.

All caches were found quickly and easily unless otherwise stated. Thanks so much to all CO’s for your hides.

An easy drive by TFTC

Quick find
TFTC

Found!

Thank you so much for this cache
Nice easy find to log

Quick stop here today, a nicely made cache that is still in great shape.

Off to Hobart for an overnight trip and to also pick up the other half on her flight from Adelaide. I decided to do all the caches that were new along the Highway plus pick up a few targets in Hobart.

Thanks for the cache

Only a slight detour on our way to the airport. TFTC DnA!

Down in Tassie for a break before Christmas and continuing our travels around the country, wow the countryside is absolutely glorious. Happy to say we came up trumps here and walked away with a smiley TFTC

What a great cache!
In good condition
Stopped by whilst doing a little Xmas shopping
