Tassie Trip Day 199 - We decided to go for a little drive today with a trip to Thomahawk and collect what we could along the way. This was a nice trip for a great day of caching and a great little trip into the nearby bush.
After arriving and going to the nearby facility we conducted the search for the cache and after search in every nook and carny of the GZ tree and the nearby trees the team came up short on a find, not sure but this may have gone?
Thanks GabMil for bringing us here today and a great spot to even spend some time.

Had a bit of a look and a fellow came over saying he’d seen the man who placed it putting it in the spot but it wasn’t there anymore. ️
Taking a very circuitous route from Hobart to Stanley found us at this very scenic spot, and of course, another cache - just a piece of paper in plastic bag, so put it into a mint tin and replaced in tree where found. Then got some lunch from the cafe and ate it down on the beach. Thanks for the cache GabMil.
Today we are enjoying the Bay of Fires coastline before travelling along the north coast back to Georgetown. We have loved the variety of coastal and inland scenery. We decided to stop for an ice cream after signing the log.Thanks for the cache.
The geokids got out to find this one on a detour to home and with help from the friendly local it was found within seconds! Great hide TFTC
This cache and log is missing cause we had a thorough look... hope to come back once its active again.
Arrived at the end of the road and started our search without any luck when the owner of the shop came out to see if we needed any help. He said we should find it because we were looking in exactly the right place, so he looked himself and realized that the cache had been muggled. We have now replaced the cache with a piece of paper in a zip-lock bag until the CO can get there. Hope it is ok with you GabMil that I've claimed a find!! Had coffee and a biscuit at the cafe before heading off to Gladstone. TFTC GabMil
Found in the company of Toolbox and VK7HCH, on our 4 day NE trip.
Another false start as the vehicle mounted GPS put us 20m away from the cache. VK7HCH came up with the goods whilst I was getting my handheld GPS out of the van.
Thanks for the cache!

Drop in for drumstick and picked up this one TFTC Swampy and Toolbox northeast tour .
Staying in Bridport for a few days so that we can explore this part of Tassie, which we haven’t been to before. We won’t be able to get all the caches we want to this time due to time and tide!!! But we are discovering some really interesting places!! Our last for the day as it was getting late. A quick find.

Found whilst staying at the she oak cabin, needed a little help from the owner as we were stumped! Tftc
Lucky last for the weekend, and what a weekend it's been. We've been underground in old mining tunnels, crossed rope bridges, viewed old dams, visited some great little towns and have now finished up in a place where it would be nice to stay the night and kick back with a beer or two. We grabbed the last cache here then went to the beach for a look (where the original last cache would have been).
Without all your caches here GabMil we may not have come so Thank-you, thank-you, thank-you!
Thanks to 1toolman for flying over from Melbourne for the weekend, thanks to TazScout for meeting us today, to my partner in crime- stainless steel rat, thanks for another adventure. To the egg and Mrs SSR, so glad you were able to come along and have some fun too.

this was the last of the weekend and again a quick find by the 1TOOLMAN, well over the weekend he has proved that is a tool but not in a bad way
Great to grab this cache and finish off our great weekend here.
This trip to the North-east all started thanks to a facebook post by DaryVafder saying she had done Tunnel for Tin and after looking at the listing said that I would add it to my to-do list, that was on the 12th off August, not long after the idea of a NE trip was discussed with Goose of GooseandEgg and before long the Egg and Mrs stainless-steel-rat were on-board too, with the idea of a weekend away sounding like it fit the bill quite nicely.
While chatting about it an old Tassie caching buddy 1TOOLMAN who has now moved back to the big island (he couldn’t hack it down here) chipped in saying would we mind if he joined us. So it went from idle chatter to flight and hotel bookings in no time at all, we had a couple of minor changes of plans due to flight times and when people could get away from work on the Friday but other than that we were all set.
Myself and Mrs SSRat had the Friday off so we drove up via the North-east coast to collect a few caches we needed and were the first to arrive at our chosen accommodation Anabels of Scottsdale at just after 6pm and we had the fridge full by 20 past
GooseandEgg were picking 1TOOLMAN up from the airport but it was delayed, so by the time they got to the hotel it was almost 11pm and we had already eaten and Mrs SSRat was asleep, so it was a quick catch up over a couple of beers and off to bed to be fresh in the morning for the start of our North-east caching fun.
On the Sunday Tazscout joined us at our hotel and for the day making the searching team even stronger.
All up over the long weekend we found 28 GC and 17 GCA caches making a total of 45 all up.
Found at 14:47 on 22/10/2017

A nice quick grab, the last group cache of a day out with 1Toolman, SSR, Mrs SSR and GooseandEgg. Nice little spot worth a return visit.
Quick SMASH AND GRAB !!
So close to the beach I can smell it.

Top spot for a night! Didn't sign log as no pencil and I didn't have a pen sorry
*10/09/2016, Found @ 6:10 PM, Find # 5713.*
While on my trip around Tasmania looking for caches, this one was found.
I was staying in the caravan park for the night and while I was waiting for my dinner to cook, I wandered over to GZ and had a look around, a short time later I was signing the logbook.
Now for dinner.
**Thanks to GabMil for placing this cache.**
Staying at a friends shack for the weekend, it turned out to be a nice day for a walk around the area. Thought we would find a few. Nice easy find. Thanks for the cache.
Things were fairly quiet hereabouts today. So quiet in fact that we felt obliged to pop into the shop for a chat so we didn't look too sus doing our poking about stuff. We were invited to take our campervan for a drive through for "future reference", which we did after doing that other spot of business. TFTC GabMil.
The Plan: Wake early, pack up the van, head towards Tomahawk from Waterhouse Bay, low tide is about 10.30 am this morning. Arrive early and walk out to the island.
What actually happened: Woke early (around 6.30 am) turned on the heater in the van, went back to sleep, woke at 8.40 am. Low tide is about 10.30 am this morning. Left Waterhouse Bay around 10.00 am arrived Tomahawk around midday. Oh well, there goes that Hawkisle.
So while we were in town, checked out all the other caches in town, found all four of them. Quick find as we stopped for morning tea/coffee -no it was milo today.
Thanks GabMil for this cache.

Another lovely day with sunshine! Tasmania is certainly throwing out the welcome sunshine this week.
Today we headed out towards the coast. Beautiful day.
Thanks so much for placing this Geocache.

Thanks GabMil

A lovely spot to take the geo family however I was working this particular day.
Found it easily, but didn't have a pen. Will sign it on our return.everything is in order here. Tftc

The park is very popular and muggles were present in droves. Patience is a virtue which I lack, but we did manage to retrieve the cache on the third attempt. The area is a very pleasant one so one has to expect such problems. TFTC
We managed to find the cache, but then couldn't retrieve it as some muggles put in an appearance, so we went away and had lunch, only to find that different muggles were making a totally innocent nuisance of themselves. So we went away again, found a couple of caches, went for a walk, decided we deserved icecreams for our efforts and thus had an excuse to sit at the tables and, in the absence of other folk, were able to retrieve the cache (after freeing it from seven weeks' worth of spider webs!). Thanks GabMil for the caches in the area (though HawkPlay does, indeed, appear to be missing).
Visited cache while holidaying at our shack at the park. Picked up travel bugs to take elsewhere
On our Way around Tasmania we reached this cosy campgroind and had to search for this cache. Found it.

A quick find eventually. Had to buy icecreams and wander about eating them while we waited for a family at the nearby picnic tables to move on. The things you have to do to claim a find! TFTC
Found with tiamanda9966 stopped for an ice cream and the kids stretched their legs.
Very friendly muggles in the nearby shop. My local rugby team "ExeterChiefs" - UK, have a supporters chant based on N American Indian war chant, it is called Tomahawk Chop ( google the sound or download the app ringtone ) so just had to get some photos and souvenirs. Quick find.
We enjoyed staying in this park. It was our first time here but definitely not our last. TFTC.

Well, this is certainly the place where Tomahawk, which had so far appeared fairly deserted, comes to life, with comings and goings from the shop. We hadn't actually been expecting to stumble across a shop,here, so excellent fish and chips sitting outside were a bonus (we were getting used to the wind by now!) found the cache without any problems and without being met by muggles. TFTC
GPS was moving all over the place, but eventually found it! Cache is missing its pencil so couldn't sign the log book as we had no pen on us:(
Found the cache and then supported the locals by having icecream! Looks like a nice park.TFTC
Hi GabMil
Tried to get coffee in the shop but nothing ready so out into the rain for another quick find at 0940hrs.

A good hide. TFTC and to the owner of the park for allowing it to be there.
#167 - 17:15; The GPS was moving wildly for some unknown reason, so had to rely on the geosenses to make the grab while Geoson went to the shop. TFTC
#410 Following Hot Chillie's footsteps earlier in the day, a bit of a wander around revealed the likely culprit. Nice picnic tables for the Jindy cycling duo to have a pre-lunch snack.
Found this cache at 12:3m while heading to the east coast after being on a vintage car rally last week. This is a nice little area to travel thru. Cache is in good condition.

Thanks GabMil for the hide.

nice find by geodaughter and a great place to visit as this was our first time at tomahawk thanks for bring us here T.F.F.C
Great spot for a picnic, pity it was pouring down rain. Found by Geodaughter. TFTC
Mid week is always best to avoid muggles. This brings up my magic 150. Thank you GabMil.
Sadly was on limited time and two muggles were perched on the nearby picnic table making it difficult. saw two posable spots in a tree but no cache had to call it off and head home. Hope it has not been tampered with.
The forecast was for very ordinary weather in the north-west today. So, we decided to head east early in the morning hoping for better weather. We arrived at this location before the shop opened (assuming it was to open today) and made a quick find due to the complete absence of muggles and accurate coordinates. A nice hide. We would not like to attempt this cache at the height of the tourist season. TFTC GabMil
Woohoo a FTF to red tag !! That was sooo worth the drive up from Hobart !! Thanks Gabmil for refueling my obsession!!
2nd to find 1 1/2hrs too late! Camping at the park for the Northern Tas long weekend. TFTC
