Could not find and now we see that it has many DNF's since the flood in early Nov. 2015. The equipment and the cache are gone. It is time to archive the cache. - Zeke & George of Hot Springs, Arkansas, USA
Another dnf. 12 sleepers, looked behind, between, above, around, underneath, on top of....everywhere!!! Needs GO attention. Lovely spot for to observe finches and wrens and peaceful flow of water.
Tried searching high and low. We then read the log and agree with those before us, I think this one floated away. Thanks for bringing us here anyway.
Searched the area, but sadly a DNF for us here today.
Like the previous loggers it seems unlikely cache is in place after the flood.
Thanks anyway robtas

Arrived at this nice little park - could not find "an historical piece of equipment" but armed with the additional hint and GZ, knew where to look.
BUT we had been told by locals that they had a flood through here last week, and we could see the height of the water! This indicates the cache may have been washed away. CO needs to check.

Left the geovan at Lagoon Beach, while we went for a drive, and of course, chase some caches as well.
Some we found, some we didn't.

Quick driving break on the way back from the coast. What better way to stretch the legs with a cache hunt.

After riding the elephant we arrived at the very neat and pretty town of St.Mary's. After a brief search we had the cache in hand, and grabbed a couple of excellent salad rolls for lunch at the takeaway. After a short break, it's time to get moving, we only have a few days left, and plenty of Tasmania to see before we head back to Victoria. Thanks for bringing us here and thanks for the cache.
In the area today, had enough time to log this one quickly. Mary was out in the open today, may need another coat perhaps, made it easy for us though replaced a tad better. TFTC
On our 3 week holiday in Tassie we did a couple of caches - and this was one of them. Quick find. Thanks for hiding the caches.
Tried for this one last week but a group of workers were busy cleaning up the park nearby. Today we had it to ourselves.
Thanks robtas
Thanks robtas
We had our lunch in this pretty little park and then went in search for the cache and the historical piece of equipment. We saw nothing that would rate as historical and used the hint to finally home in on the cache. TFTC
After a longer than expected meander through the Fingal Valley (in which we found no caches because we weren't looking, but in which we saw some lovely historic churches) and then a detour to the South Sister lookout (where a possibly misleading sign meant we didn't go looking for the caches there) we stopped for a late picnic lunch by the little creek in St Marys. On checking the GPS I find there's a cache nearby. We toddled off to find it, expecting something a little more substantial/interesting from the hint ... but we soon had the cache in hand anyway.
Found on our way to the beach at Dora's point. Sorry no pen to write the log but the dog Maguiver was the witness. Tftc
Habich had lunch at the public BBQ we went for a short walk and grabbed this one.

Nice little park.
Cache container was on the path, we put it back between the sleepers.

TFTC.12.50. Tasmania is our last vacation journey in Australia, along this route, we look for caches. Greetings from the Netherlands
Found on our way north. Sog's 5th find. There's not much room left on the log book.
Nice spot
Thanks

Some Muggle found it accidental.
He left a long note...same with me...
Owner should have a short look after it, if it is in right place?!
And probably new log book.

Found while visiting Tassie for our silver wedding anniversary. Driving from Bicheno to St Helens, we detoured through St Marys for some mountain views and this cache was a bonus. TNLNSL TFTC
Second in St Mary's and for the trip. Weather great for a stroll in the park. Think we will visit the bakery opposite when we leave. It was a quiet afternoon, no muggles, and a quick find. SL and replaced cache into its hideout.

Great spring morning. TNLN TFTC. Cache fine but I think the"historical piece of equipment" has been taken away.
Beautiful day in St Mary's. Bakery not super modern, but food and friendliness makes it a must. TFTC
Another quick find after driving over Elephant Pass. Nice mosaics in this park.
Second day of a five day trip to the East Coast. We enjoyed exploring this lovely little country town. Had a chat to a few friendly locals and then went in search of the cache. Good hide. Beautiful sunny weather today.
A lovely little park to have a rest. A young family of ducks waddled past as we stopped but I wasn't quick enough for a photo. An easy find. TFTC robtas ★

Still had barrier tape, but no longer overgrown. Log book full. Now for delicious pancakes!
Log is full. Site is in danger through renovation. Surrounded by orange tape barrier.
Overgrown grass, blackberry bush everywhere and council netting fenced off area. Please move cache
Cute little antique here, and a reasonably quick cache find. Having lots of fun driving between Freycinet and Launceston. There doesn't seem to be much of anyone else around though...? TFTC!
Nice easy find thanks. A bit of a scratch around had the cache in hand. This trip to Tasmania going anticlockwise from Devonport is our third trip and the first in our motorhome. This is another cache, there will be many more, hopefully.

A quick stop here and the open netting allowed easy but careful access to the cache. TFTC.
The area around the cache was fenced off. Nobody was around so I jumped the fence and found me a cache. This is an interesting little display.
Thanks for the cache robtas.
Thanks for the cache robtas.
A very late log I'm afraid, having just completed a thorough reconciliation of finds whilst out on adventures with Cached and/or Robtas - slacky Wacky missed just a few (cough cough)
Many thanks robtas from the Wacky one

Geo Junior and i decided to do a few caches as we wandered the North East coast of this very pretty area. We found a few and express our thanks to those creating the hoides. As always, this way you find some great spots and also discover a bit of history.
Nice spot. SL. TFTC

What a top little park and what a surprise as we rounded the corner and came upon GZ. We pretended not to see the danger tape and grabbed what we came for. SL TFTC Cheers... Gaztek
A quick find but did come away with a few scratches. Bunting around this interesting display item is in a bad way. Wondering if cachers did that!! Thanks.
Second or third time lucky. Found it at 2.45pm. Though I had crossed a safety line , but I think it was OK . Thanks.
