WATERHOLE 500M Musselroe Bay, Tasmania, Australia
By robtas on 29-Dec-11. Waypoint GC39VT3

Today we were supposed to be climbing Mt Cameron but it was incredibly windy with rolling storms passing over the state so we canned that plan. Instead we headed to the coast and other than the massive winds it was a picture perfect day for caching. Had a packed lunch at Ansons causeway which is now underwater and the road closed. We encountered many downed trees but thankfully nothing too big that we couldnt drive around.Spotted an echidna, wombats and a huge sea Eagle today. I wasnt sure about walking to this one as a deluge of rain was imminent but husband persuaded me. Luckily I found the cache quickly, so much water here at the moment an absolute quagmire. TFTC robtas (RIP)

Heading off after doing some exploring in the area, so went in to get this one last cache. Was hoping to see some wildlife but nothing to be seen, apart from a fantail who was not happy with our presence for some reason - he kept swooping us! Eventually found the cache in an interesting location - the camo item has virtually rotted away but was still protecting the container. Signed log and replaced as found. Thanks for bringing us to this interesting location.

Our NEW ZEALAND - TASMANIA - AUSTRALIA JOURNEY takes us to beautiful places and provides us with an incredible number of wonderful moments and experiences.Occasionally we also visit a few GeoCaches along the way.We easily found the "can", but where is the waterhole...? Nothing to be seen far and wide...!Thank you for placing, maintaining and caring snapfish2 from SwitzerlandPS: Translated with the Deepl app

Dam, nearly missed it A peaceful walk to GZ listening to the birds and enjoying the fresh air. This one took me longer than what it should have, but it meant I got to enjoy my surroundings and check out the reedy pool of water nearby.TFTC robtasKeep smiling

In Tassie for the next few months. So many great places to visit and so many different caches to find.Enjoyed the walk into the waterhole. Accurate co-ords made for a quick find.Thanks robtas for placing the cache and doing the maintenance needed, so we can find this cache.

Thanks for the geocache flowers out smells like honey so good

Headed out to NE Tas today to find caches which have been on my unfound list for way too long.The round trip covered 675km over 12 hrs.Drove to within 100m of gz where the track became too enclosed further on.Took a round about trek to gz, where accurate coords made for a quick find.The cache is still in exc conditionSo dry out this way but the waterhole still had water.Many thanks to robtas for placing a cache in a unique location....thoroughly enjoyed...cheers ST..

A day caching around the north east coast. Finding and hiding caches!Some beautiful places today including some places I hadnt been before that didnt have caches!!!Thats to all the cache hiders. Robtas, cached and Tassie trekkers in particular Nice cache hide. Took a weird way in but found the track on the way out. Tftc.

A winter day in the middle of summer has us exploring mount William NP.
Thanks for the hide

Tftc. Found non human shit.

We took the turn and found the cache. TFTC

Exploring Tasmania with hellyonfire cache by cache. The weather has kept us on our toes and our ears frozen, and we enjoyed every moment. Thanks to all the cache owners for the creative hides and/or great locations.

This was the first of your caches robtas for the weekend and it was a nice little 500m wander to the Waterhole, while we didn't see any wildlife, there was plenty of water however the path in was really quite dry. This was our first cache find together for the weekend and I was on the board with an easy find at GZ.

Log to follow

Found it! Full log to follow.

TFTC was a quick grab. we were in and out quickly as we had thongs on and was worried about snakes. that being said if you walk up the bare sandy bit you will find a rough path to get you were you need so not full on scrub bashing luckily.

We are out and about exploring in the North East of Tasmania again today after staying in St Helens for the last two days. So much to see and do we are spoilt for choice. Of course our other aim for the day is to collect as many geocaches along the way as practical. Today we will reach an exciting milestone our 11000 cache and we are delighted to be finding it in Tassie.

This is ur ninth cache of the day. Like previous catchers we parked just off the main road and made the walk to gz on foot. The ground was very wet due to all the recent rains but we were able to zig zag and keep our feet relatively dry. When nearing gz it was hard to decide which was the best way in so we overshot at first but then doubled back. There were several different frog sounds at full volume which made it even more interesting. We were a bit mindful of snakes so did not linger in the shrub for too long. TFTC

Found it

Do we drive or walk? The legs, heart and head all had their own ideas but it was SSRs decision. We may have 'chickened out' on a few track this trip but, without recovery gear and a tow vehicle, it was the sensible idea.
It was a sloppy walk in across the grass but an enjoyable one. The weather was kind and we ate the distance up in no time. Stainless steel rat spotted the clever hide fairly quickly. After signing we went to look at the waterhole before heading back to the car.
Thanks for the cache.

We parked at the side of the 'road' and walked to this one, i did drive down it a bit but the smooth ground goose had seen was in fact water so I reversed up park the car and we walked along an ok but muddy track to GZ, it wasnt that far tbh and less than the signed 500m

Cache was a quick find and well hidden,thanks for the cache.

This weekend was meant to be a quick trip to the big island but with Gladys ruining that chance for everyone we came up with another plan and after a quick chat that Goose had never been to Musselroe Bay and i was more than happy to try and clean up the Northeast corner that is more than a days drive from home

Thanks for the cache.

Found on 21/08/2021 at 2:20:00 PM thanks to robtas for placing this cache for me to find.

Found this one nice and easily. Dry and safe in its home. The waterhole was like a little oasis

Found this one out in the open, it looked like an animal had uncovered it. Returned it to its obvious spot and replaced the camo. I bet this place comes alive at night. TFTC!
Cheers,

Parked near the sign and walked in. Saw lots of wombat poo but no animals. Probably the wrong time of day.

During our holiday trip in Tasmania.
After a nice night not so far we did a quick stop at the waterhole. No wombat there!

Found it, TFTC

Great find with the kids

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 over to get all the caches we want to this time due to time and tide!!! But we are discovering some really interesting places!!
We didn’t drive all the way but decided to walk! Nice and interesting area! The cache was found quickly and we tried to find a path as to not disturb any snakes!

Great spot. Went for walk with cousin and saw the biggest kangaroo

Previous find with the lovely Jac. Thanks very much.

This is an absolute amazing spot and I'm so grateful geocaching bought me here! Very calming and very relaxing. Thanks so much!!

rather a spur of the moment find after seeing the Waterhole sign and twigging that I saw that as a cache. Be prepared to battle through the scrub.

We traveled around Tasmania for 3 weeks and took some caches. We saw so many nice places only because we searched a cache. Thanks for Geocaching to see so nice places.

Drove nearly all the way to water hole, only had to walk up incline and there it was. An oasis in the desert!
Thanks for bring me in to have a look

Found with SScharlie. Great little spot you would've missed, thankgod for geocaching!

After much bush bashing in the sun it was finally found, interesting apot TFTC

During the dusk we saw quite a lot wildlife here.

Easy find, after we parked the van on the side of the road. Bit scared that there might be a snake under the hint. All good. Thanks robtss.

Quick find on my way past this afternoon.
Great little spot.

Travelling around Australia and now in Tasmania! So exciting.

We headed across to explore St Helens, Mt William NP and Gladstone before completing a circuitous route back to Scottsdale.

The weather was sadly a bit against us. 2 days of showers which incorporated 58km on muddly limestone tracks so the GeoCruiser and Caravan were extremely grubby! But a beautiful part of Tasmania visited!

With a few caches found too.

Parked up nearby with the caravan on tow as we left Stumpys campground. Mr Felix walked in to this cache. Cache was found in good condition.

TFTC robtas

Another days touring and what better way of checking out an area than by spending it caching. We didn't encounter any wildlife dangerous or otherwise this afternoon.
Thanks robtas

Quick find on a nice day exploring the area. TFTC

Was looking in totally the wrong area.
Logbook is a little damp. TNLN.

No wildlife around today and a quick find was made. TFTC.

Nice walk to the cache and a well disguised cache the whole family could enjoy

Great find

Great site. Love this area. Wildlife abounds. Tftc

First time in Tassie - what a great country !!! TFTC

Found it on a beautiful summer day while staying at Stumpys #1. Saw one roo near the cache. TFTC

Hi robtas
Enjoyed the walk to this beautiful little spot. Track was wet and a little slippery in places.
The cache is in good condition and was logged at 1423hrs.
TFTC and cheers

A short walk to the waterhole and an easy find there, but unfrunately at this spot we did not see wildlife. Lateron during sunset we spotted a lot of Foresters, Wallabies, Pademelons and Wombats. A very nice NP, worse to miss it.

TFTC Neeri & Lexa.

A drive by. Not much water in the water hole. TFTC

No wildlife here but we saw some wallabies and a possum at the campground (Stumpys no 2). TFTC.

#155 - 17:45; Ninth of 12 for the far north east run. A quiet spot for a bit of contemplation while the local wildlife was starting to drop by too. TFTC

34°C, 2pm, no animals. (wrong time for animals) Thanks for showing me this location and TFTC!

The cycling touring duo from wasable to cycle into this amazing location. The pods on top of the flowering reeds was like light wool - amazing. And this reedy waterhole hidden away.

No blakes, no roos but one cache found. Great area. TFTC

Found on our Christmas tour of the N/E. An interesting spot we would otherwise have driven past. TFTC

Found on our 4 day east coast trip with our caravan, did some great caches and had fun. Started caching at BEN,F at Avoca and finished caching at Mussel Roe Bay. Thanks for this cache robtas. Had a visit from the ranger when grabbing the cache, not allow to drive to gz they need to replace the sign.

GPS all over place but still found

Found this cache at noon while staying in the area for a few days and exploring the magnificent beaches and the National Park. The cache is in good order.
Thanks Robtas for the hide.

So dark we used a head torch to find this. Lots of wallabies here. Thanks for bringing us here.

Another nice robtas cache to find on our day in Mount William National Park. A bit soggy underfoot getting to GZ but the waterhole is looking very scenic right now.
Thanks again robtas [^]

Found by Mr East Coasters after all the other coasters were spooked at the thought of a snake! Great cache.

A quick find towards the end of a long but very enjoyable day of caching in the north east. TFTC robtas

Easy find TFTC

Another unique location in this delightful area. Thanks robtas
