The whole family was out in caching territory today, with twelve on the itinerary.Been to this statue many times when Bro and Sis were younger (they both swear it used to be bigger), so nice to come back today and find a cache nearby! After a bit of bending and observing, the cache was soon spotted and obtained, and another find added to a growing list. TFTC Tassie Trekkers!

Big thanks to Tassie Trekkers for creating this cache! Your effort brought an extra spark of excitement to our geocaching quest. This discovery was find number 1,125 for us, marking another memorable moment in our adventure.

Tasmania Trip Day 9. My second day caching out of Hobart was more counties to the south and East of Hobart. It was a cold drizzly day that got even worse as I went south. The highlight was the cave south of Port Arthur. I slowly worked my way back through the other counties and managed to see quite a few great small town along the way. I arrived back into town quite late in the afternoon and only did one more LAB set around town before finding somewhere to have dinner. I went back to the motel and did some logging and preparing for tomorrow.I stopped here for a snack on the way south and did not even look at this cache, on the way back it was much busier but I was able to poke around at the statue in peace as most people dashed over the road for food.Thanks for the cache Tassie Trekkers46007.7 TNLNVisited: World Traveling Gold GC A#6 & 2006 Stars #1 - Orion A#26**Albida**

I am traveling down the east coast of Tassie, and stopped the night in Dunalley.Decided to get some caches while I am here.I searched everywhere the hint stated. Yet no cache found. Upon giving up, I started to leave, yet noticed a painted container in the nearby shrubs, which yes turned out to be the cache.The cache log was signed, and the cache container was returned back to the location specified by the hint. I then got a couple of rocks from the canal to further hide the cache.

It was time for a return trip to Tassie to explore the southern part of the state. I paired up with OzHockeyChick for a 5 day caching blitz with some sightseeing in between. Today was Day 3 and it was time to head east towards Port Arthur.

We almost left this lunch spot without grabbing the cache we were ontop of! A nice quick find which required go go gadget arms.

Thanks Tassie Trekkers for adding this cache to the worldwide collection for us all to enjoy.

Nalezeno společně s Radoshordos během měsíčního výletu do Malajsie, Singapuru, Bruneje a Austrálie, kde byla hlavním cílem celého výletu Tasmánie. Singapore se zároveň stává mojí 39. navštívenou zemí a Austrálie mojí 40. navštívenou zemí.
Keš jsem našel během chvilky společně s Radoshordos. Děkuji za přivedení na další zajímavé místo a za další bod do sbírky.
Zdravím z České republiky.


Found it during a one-month trip together with Radoshordos to Malaysia, Singapore, Brunei and Australia, where Tasmania's was main destination of the whole vacation. Singapore is also becoming my 39th visited country and Australia my 40th visited country.
I found the cash in a moment with Radoshordos. Thank you for bringing me to another interesting place and for the next point to the collection. Greetings from the Czech Republic.

Zozetta and I headed down to Dunalley this morning with the aim of finding a few caches. A great day out with good a total of 21 finds and some new locations discovered. We started with a solved puzzle before moving onto the new series on Blackman Bay road then heading back towards town, via the scenic lookout, then detoured to Forcett on the way home to quickly grab a multi.

Muggles here when we first arrived made searching tricky so we decided to leave it and try on our way back. Unfortunately there were still a few muggles around when we came back but we managed to grab the cache once they left.

Thanks for the cache Tassie Trekkers!

Adelaide to Hobart Road Trip
Day Five: St. Helens to Hobart Airport
Weather: glorious!

After a quick trip to just inside Tasman to claim the LGA, I stopped here to look at the opening bridge, do part of the Adventure Lab, and also find this cache. I’ve seen a lot of wedge tail eagles while caching, sadly none today. This is a nice spot to break the trip, thanks for putting a cache here Tassie Trekkers.
 
03-Dec-22
On the way to Port Arthur we stopped at the bakery for coffee and pies. Great to have a cache, too.
Found some rubbish first, although there's a bin just beside the sculpture... did a little cito. The cache's in good shape.
