Stayed on the path, looked everywhere I could think of bit to no luck. GPS was bouncing around. A hint would have been nice given the amount of rocks around. I was disturbing way too much of the microfauna.
Great walk and views. If the coordinates are accurate and the description says no need to leave the path is also correct, then this is way more difficult that. 1.5
This cache was easier said than done. I searched all over, bearing in mind to stay on the path. Then TaurusSix says it over here. I don't think I'd have found it otherwise.
The heat of the day made it a little less comfortable, but the clear skies made the view fantastic.

Tassie Trip Day 32 - Today we decided to cover some of the ground we jumped over on our way from Burnie and so Boat Harbour was the destination for today but alas the parking and the number of muggles at Boat Harbour made us stop a little short of getting all the caches in that area however we managed to grab a few on our way there and back. So Boat Harbour will be a revisit on a week day hoping to see less crowds.
Wow what a wonderful trip in to this cache and the views from the nearby platform were both stunning (toward the water) and inspiring (toward the cave), so it was really worth the trip.
Thanks for showing us this wonderful place to cache awgreenhill.

Had a look around for abit but didnt see anything.... There seems to be some issues with this cache can the owner update the cache and put the hint back in....??
Found what we think may be the original cache with the logs ending around 2016, log signed and cache back in it's spot. Accurate hint, tftc
The cache we found had some logs dating back to 2015 so maybe this was the original cache. Let's hope so. What a fantastic area, great views, and wonderful coastline. TFTC
I took the stroll to get closer to the cave I had seen from the lighthouse
Well worth it [^]
And the view from the platform is superb in all directions
With me photos snapped I got down to the problem of finding a cache
Which after half an hour was refusing to show itself !!
There was only one likely looking hidey hole I could find close to the track,
and despite the 'aha moment' the rock I moved didn't reveal any cachelife hiding behind it
Slightly further afield I did lift a couple of disturbed by man rocks,
only to find that some filthy bugger had left their empty drink bottle in the crevice
It is still littering people,
even if you try to hide it
So there you go !!
Nice spot,
no cache,
and CITO in action
(except for the CI bit)

This was great to see. It is a shame that you can't get closer but totally understandable. Thanks for the cache.
Hi there awgreenhill.
We cached around Rocky Cape and Boat Harbour today - and found your cache **"Tangdimmaa"** at 11:22:00 AM. (This brings our total find count to 18453).
We ended up finding a variety of container types and sizes on our journey & found 6 caches (& DNF'd 2).
Thank you for placing this cache here, without geocaching as our guide we would never have found so many interesting places to visit on our nomadic wander around Australia.
**Coordinate Accuracy:** We found the cache around 2m from where the GPS said we should be looking.
**Cache Condition:** The container and log book are in good shape.
**Took:** Nothing.
**Left:** Nothing.
Thanks for the hunt today,
Regards
Ian & Penny.

Thar was another walk in Rocky Cape National Park we did. The caves in here seemed interesting so we needed to get closer. After muggles were gone we could have a look for the cache. Not so easy because our GPS were not really accurate. Finally we have found the container.
Thanks for showing!
Thanks for showing!
The throwdown: found...but you need to get off track to find it...will degrade in the elements.
It seems the cache has been replaced by someone other than the CO so we have no idea if it's in the correct place by the track
found with würmchen on our last day in Tasmania (bottle needs replacement)

Auf unserer gemeinsamen Reise durch Australien (nun sind wir für 14 Tage auf Tasmanien!) gings mit Wollitier auch hier und da zum Cachen.
Nach einem hübschen Spaziergang fanden wir recht schnell in wohl einer "Ersatzflasche" das Logbuch zum Cache.
Das Würmchen sagt **DANKE!**
*(mein Australien-Fund Nr.63)*

It's a wet and windy day on the North West Coast. But it didn't stop us exploring.
This cache was hunted, tagged and released by activehunters. Tftc.

We're not sure of our claim to this one. After some considerable time searching around and under the viewing deck we eventually found the previous visitor's throwdown & signed the logsheet. However we are not really in favour of throwdowns unless the CO is no longer active which is not the case here. Therefore we're happy to have our log deleted if it does not meet with the CO's approval. We agree though that the lure of a find is an extra incentive to do this enjoyable walk and get a little closer to the spectacular scenery. Thanks awgreenhill.
Seems such a shame that this cache has gone missing so I have placed a temporary replacement cache so at least there is something to find to encourage people to come here. Hint: Cbjrenqr obggyr 5z bss gur genpx haqre n ebpx nobhg gur fvmr bs n ybat ybns bs oernq. [ROT13]
There is also an Aboriginal Shelter 10min walk from the boat ramp.

Left the geovan at Rocky Cape Tavern, while we went for a drive, with four caches in mind. Two at Rocky Cape and two at Detention River.
We walked up to the viewing deck for the virtual cache, then realised just how close we were to this GZ. Despite searching, (there are only so many rocks you can turn) we did not find, sadly.

After a good look around there was no sign of the cache. It felt disrespectful to go too far off the path and the lookout.
Very frustrating but DNF. I've been coming here since I was a kid but this was my first geocache search here. Will come back another time with fresh eyes.
Took a little while to locate as it has been moved. Replaced log book and returned to the original position.
Very wet, almost impossible to write on the log. It was left out of the plastic bag.
Beautiful spot.
Our first one for Tassie!
Cache is a bit waterlogged. "Notepad was slimy" says geokid No 2.

[red]Find #1712[/red]
On the way out from Stanley, we had to come to Rocky Cape and we are so glad we did. An amazing spot that was completly muggle free. We checked out the lightouse then made our way to this cache. I must admit, the views from the car of the cave and rock, I thought were better than the viewing platform which was about 15mins from the car. The cache took a little while to find after it was 'off the path' to what I'm used to. Great spot.
We enjoyed a wonderful 2 week trip around beautiful Tasmania soaking up the sights after visiting here almost 8 years ago. This time the little Na'wals are with us and some caching is to be done. We had a wonderful time time even the the terrible weather that we uncounted most of the time here.

Beautiful view really enjoyed the peace and quiet, found easily but the log is drenched. Tftc
Not in good condition. Saturated, but an easy find. Magnificent views, especially from the lighthouse! Tftc.
Quick find after tracking up wrong path. Bonus for Geo kids they got a good look about. Silly Geo Dad.

19/02/2014 11:45 Find #2413 . I managed to make this one more difficult than it needed to be by first attempting it from the east [B)]. I may not have been on the right track for the cache but I did see a cave where the previous locals used to live
When I was on the right track things were much easier and the cache was soon found after I decided to ignore the cache instructions a detour slightly from the 'track'
The cache was not quite reachable from the track but not far off it
TNLN
Cheers awgreenhill

Find during my roadtrip in Tasmania, many hiking through national parks, and also caches roadsides. Thank you to all cachers in the area

Quick find, blue lid was a bit of a giveaway! Surprisingly after 3 weeks of sunshine the log was very wet. Left it out in the sun for the 15 minutes that I was at the lookout which helped it a little.
Very wet log book. Put in sticky labels and signed those. Geoboys had a fabulous time finding crabs. Great place for a cache. Thanks
Three of is looked and looked for about 15 minutes. The gps got as close as 2 meters off the track but as the description said you don't have to leave he track we just looked around that area. Still, got a look at the wonderful view.
It is our last day in the area, what a nice scenery from here. The cache is easy to find but the logbook is very wet...TFC
Found after short trip to the other cave, showery day but still nice views of the bay and cave

Took the excellent track down to the cave lookout on a lovely sunny day. Had the place to ourselves. Good views of the area and the rocky bluff hosting the cave. Would have liked to have more time to do some of the other longer walks in the area. Found the cache with no problems.

Loved Rocky Cape NP and this cache was an interesting spot. We visited the lookout and then made our way down to the bay. Beautiful day and we had the whole place to ourselves.

Hi awgreenhill
This used to be a popular place of visit for us a long time ago - diving for crays! Great fun!
Have been in the caves.
Found the cache quickly and logged it at 1432hrs.
Thanks for bringing me back.

Found at 11:00AM on the 6th of July by Maya and Ray. It is a sensational sunny winter day and a joy to walk through the scrub to the views that the area reveals. As we walked to GZ a flock of Black Cockatoos flew over head screaching as they passed. This is truly a beautiful area. Thanks for bringing us to it. TNLNSL. TFTC. The Nomads.
Found on a brisk autumn day. mr sharnie's tribe had never been to this corner of the state and I haven't been here since I was a kid. Thank you for bringing us here.
Found after a brief search while admiring the cave in the distance. Have had a great time walking in the eastern and western end of this beautiful Nat. Park. Always great to be able to log a cache to add to the enjoyment. Many thanks awgreenhill. [^]
It was well worth making the detour down this track for these three caches, but only managed to find two of them as we ran out of time for the third, so have a good reason to come back. The rock formations are fantastic and views superb. Nice walk down the the viewing spot for the Cave, and found the cache after a fairly lengthy search as the GPS was playing up somewhat. Should have just looked in the obvious spot and ignored the machine.
Thanks for the cache and for bringing me here awgreenhill.

Found while waiting for Mr W to come down from the last couple of caches up higher in the Rocky Cape National Park. Interesting spot and good view of cave. TFTC.
Came here years ago when we first arrived in Tassie and it was nice to have a reason to revisit.

Magical place! It was a bright sunny day, the area and the rocks were highlighted. The stories are interesting.
"Zo zie je nog eens iets" Thanks!

Visited this cave a couple of years ago while placing my own caches in the area. Certainly quite an impressive gash in the cliffs, though rather disappointing that you're not allowed to take a little peek inside. Still, the information is good and it's a nice lookout. The place does have a rather haunting quality about it with the wind ululating around the rocks like ancient spirits. Thanks for the cache!
Great hunt for the cache and found it so much closer than we thought. Idyllic spot. TFTC TNLN
We to have visited this area when you could go in the cave. Quick find TFTC
Wow this spot was so interesting, took some great pics of the rugged coast and the crashing waves, the information boards kept us amused for a while, would love to come back and explore this area more some time soon and do some of the other great walks. Thanks heaps, love it. Took measuring tape for mr will.mott and left tattoo.
Heazle1 another great place have been here before but didnt do the walk. The wind was howling and the information boards are very interesting tftc ttb
