Greame's View Little Swanport, Tasmania, Australia

I am unable to maintain the cache as Elev8!on [mrnoo17] who moved the cache(without permission) has not advised the new co-ordinates.

Cache maintenance also includes the listing.

It is quite obvious from reading the logs that the coordinates of this cache listing need to be updated to reflect the new position of the cache.

It this cannot be sorted out between the owner and the cacher who did it by Feb 10th the listing will be archived and not be unarchived.

DNF today like the two finders before me. A post from Elev8!on [mrnoo17] on the 23 or September last year says that the cache has been replaced and coordinates changed. With an update to come on the page. Though that hasn't happened yet. So we need the cache back to the original location or new coordinates put up for the correct GZ.

Also searched under rock. Dnf

Wasn't able to find it in that Position...

This walk was one of the centerpieces of our trip! It certainly proved challenging with 20km of some pretty decent hiking. We decided to camp nearby and attack this as a day walk. However, we didnt leave a moment too soon. After climbing up to the top of the saddle, we took in the (cloudy) sights. Fortunately, even though the skies were grey, we still had full visibility of the bay and mountain ranges. Upon arival at the beach, we spoke to a Tassie hippy who had just done the circut walk. After informing us of what the path ahead held for us, we promptly made our way along the beach to have some morning tea on the south side. Looking at the sign, it read:Mt Graeme, 2.5 hours. Back in NSW, A signposted 2.5 hour walk would only take 1.5hours to do. But these Tassies are a fit mob, so when they say 2.5hours, that means continuous walking without pausing for breath. Admittedly, we did take a few "photo breaks" to let the old man's ticker return to a comfortable speed! Fortunately, there were many of these places along the journey to the top of the mountain. Animal size tracks lead to large boulder platforms, The Hazards in the background, and more bus sized boulders in the foreground. Nearing the top of the spur, we heard the enticing sound of running water. A short splash and drink was much welcomed at this halfway point, almost purposely put there for weary travellers! More pushing and large strides and we burst out through the trees to the open moorland. Admiring the views that we had worked hard for was very rewarding! Dodging puddles in my old school shoes (now converted to serious hiking shoes!) we made short work of the moorland, more uphill. Geodad ready to drop down and wish he was dead, I yeilded to his plea and let him have a bit of choccy and lie on the rock for a bit! More scrambling up the deeply eroded track and we reached the summit!!! Much celebration was held back due to lack of breath

Replaced container, update of coords to come

After we climbed Mt. Freycinet we decided to find this cache but unfortunately it seems like the cache is gone. We found the obvious spot where it should be but didn't find anything. As the last log says, the cache seems the have been moved but we couldn't find it anywhere. It's a shame 'cause the area is really nice and the summit worth a cache.

I did the 2 ½ days hike as one of my highlights of week 2 during my vacation in Tasmania (week 1 was the Overland Track) and really enjoyed this track. Walking is good here, but what really makes the difference are the campgrounds right behind the beaches at Cook's and Wineglass. Getting up Mount Graham certainly had been the most challenging part of the circuit, particularly with 4 additional liters / kilos of water in my backpack due to the pack that there's no water supply at Wineglass beach. But the views from the top were breathtaking and a reward worth all the effort.
Finding the container took me quite a while; finally found it within a meters range from the top and not where the hint suggested the box should have been. Thanks a lot for placing it here! I'm sure maintaining this cache is a challenge on its own.

Found this cache at 16:04, while doing the Freycinet circuit as a two day walk. If I do this walk again I'll spread it out over a few more days as we particularly regretted not camping at Wine Glass Bay. Didn't actually plan to do the cache but it was in plain view and my mate found it.

Unbelievable place. Pitty for the wet weather.

Cache found during my roadtrip in southern tasmania, I went through south cape, Hartz Mountain, brunny island, tasman peninsula, maria island and national park freycinet. it was really great, thank you for geocacher in the area !
Greetings from France

Very nice walking ! nice view !

Found by chance. Thanks Razork, might give me a few hours/days of destressing time to find a few more.[^]

#612 Nice 2day trek to Mt. Graham. Weather wasn´t so good, rainy and cold, but nature is wonderful.

Not sure whether we found this Graeme's view or the previous cache which was up here... The logbook had 'Graham's View' written on it... Either way we found the cache about 100m from where it should've been, so we placed it where we thought it should've gone according to the hint.

Camping @ Wineglass Bay for the weekend, so made a day walk to find the cache & have lunch. TFTC.

Nice run to summit

We walked from Cooks Beach to Wineglass Bay via Mount Graham. The views were great with beautiful blue sea and sky and lots of flowers on the tee trees and on the pink trigger plants at the side of the track. TFTC.

Three of us had walked over The Hazards and on via Hazards Beach to Cooks Beach on Wednesday. On Thursday we walked to the last hill that overlooks Schouten Island. Today the other two returned the way we came and I walked via Mt Graham to collect this cache and the views. The last part was certainly a stagger with a full pack. It was all worthwhile with the fantastic views from the top. TFTC.

We found this easily on a hard day's days walk from the Cook's beach campsite to Wineglass Bay. Such a steep climb! TFTC

Easy

After good views on the meander from cooks corner the view from the top was outstanding.

Finally able to get to reinstate this cache. Note the change of name and co-ords. S42 12.686 E148 19.026

Coordinates changed from:
S 42° 12.688 E 148° 19.030

Coordinates changed to:
S 42° 12.686 E 148° 19.026

Distance from original: 21.9 feet or 6.7 meters.

Finally able to renew this cache

Walked through the area after an abandoned trip around the Mt Anne Circuit, unfortunately didn't have a GPS or the coordinates so didn't know it was there, Great walk though, highly recommend it to anyone passing through, it's really not that had

Very busy at this time of year. Will have cache available shortly.

MMMM Instead of archive I think a change of co-ords and name change will suffice. I hope to be able to get this one back in action soon.

Twelve pairs of eyes looked for some time but could not locate the cache. The summit area looked quite disturbed with many large rocks shattered and scattered around. I am archiving this cache and will replace it with a another close by.

Climbed up the summit after having lunch on Mt Freycinet. Found that the loose rocks around the summit and to the west had been moved but no cache could be found. Very disappointing!!

Team BAPHA found this after a very hard slog up the mountain. Great place for a cache, especially after having had to drink larvae-infested water to stay at least minimally hydrated. SL, took geocoin and will move to Melbourne. TFTC.

A great location for a wonderful cache! We were quite exhausted after climbing Mt. Graham from Cooks Beach, where there were larvae swimming in the water container... Survived and found the cache with Ivan d.S.

Awesome walk!
These sort of caches are the reason I cache.
I love the bushwalking and particularly when they are on mountains that have views like this.
I left Hbt at 4.45 am and was walking by 7.30am. Perfect weather all day and I was back at the car by 3.45pm
I topped the day off with a swim ...cant get much better than that!

Found with Shazcol. I needed the rest! Top views.

On our way with company from Yin of 'Yin & Yan' to the Gauntlet 'C' on MT Freycinet just over there....

Found OK and noticed the saddle we had to transverse after lunch. Great views here but a bit blowy today.

Wow! Together with AndiHD our FTF. Nice lookout after an exhausting climb with huge backpacks! TFTC

I can't believe, together with Schokoll my FTF and this in Tassie!! Nice lookout! TFTC
