I had two looks at this one with no luck.
With the description been so descriptive I'm shore its not there.

This one took far longer than it should have to find - maybe I need glasses? container will need replacing soon as the elements have almost claimed it. TFTC

Found just after 8pm, on the way home from work.
Was debating whether to try this cache tonight or check it out early tomorrow morning but it is a good thing I went looking for it tonight because when I got there only the magnetic base was attached to the guard rail. I quickly found the lid on the ground nearby and I thought the log had probably been lost forever but fortunately another quick search with the torch turned it up still safe and sound in it's little plastic bag, despite the added degree of difficulty this one was a nice quick find
Signed log, put the cache back together and returned it to it's hiding spot. Hopefully the lid will stay on this time, TFTC

Found at 1155. Cache container was rusted shut. Managed to get it open but might be worth replacing with a plastic version of the same design given it's location

This cache was a quick stop and grab while on my (Knight #4)way down to the peninsula with Dippy. Dippy had already found this one, so only I signed the log. TFTC

The bush has been removed so look for stump. Easy find!

Easy find. Remains of bush are there, not the actual bush

found.

Liebs Gruessli, the Urkos from Germany.

No. 1280

Found no problem

Went looking for the bush but it is gone. The short remains are still visable. However we managed to find it TFTC

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

Yay found the little critter !!

Good hide beautiful day easy find with clues TFTC TNLN nice vistas

Clever placement! TFTC

Found this one today. Thanks for highlighting such an interesting historical place. It was great to read about the causeway and the bridge after I had just driven over it. Signed log but didn't swap anything. This cache container is a little bit rusty and may need some TLC but it still works fine currently.

Thanks for the cache JABs.

Lots of muggles fishing but we parked right next to cache so we were able to retrieve it with ease.

Nice easy find on way to get dinner at Sorell!! #16 of 31 days... TFTC!

Quick easy find TFTC

good hide. TFTC

Beautiful day and great enjoyed drive for caches on the way to Port Arthur, easy to find as hide very well thanks

When we were kids we used to travel this road to go camping at Orford from Huonville. It was always an exciting part of the trip to see how many people were fishing on the bridge (well, we were children!) and then get excited about being half way there (it was a very long way in those days!)

There was NO-ONE fishing today..a most unusual event! It did make finding the cache undetected a very easy exercise.

Thanks JABs.

Quick find tftc

Easy find. A nice cliff face along the water edge. tftc

Found!

TFTC

Quick and easy find. Drove right up to it. Late and cold so not many muggles about.
TFTC. SL. TNLN.

Pulled up beside it, didn't have to take two steps to get it.

Quite day easy find

a few days away in the sunshine at Port Arthur, a few small cache grabs on the way home.

Quick visit to Tassi, quick find.
TFTC

I stopped here to get this cache but as there were some fishermen I walked across the bridge to get Blue Metal View. When I got over the bridge the GPS suggested the cache was over the (very busy) road so I decided to leave that for another time. When I returned to the car the fishermen were sufficiently engrossed in their sport for me to grab and log the cache.

Easy find with no muggles around. Mabey it was a bit chilly for them.

A quick find! A long weekend of geocaching as we approach a small milestone. TFTC

Found with AINSTAR and geokids. Luckily a quiet Day. TFTC

It was very windy today

Sent geomum to retrieve ... Just before locals turned up the... Quick find ... Tftc

A nice DIDO thanks JABs, a few muggles around but still a quick grab, SL, TNLN, TFTC

Visiting relatives on holiday from Brisbane. Nice easy find. Near nice private beach. Tftc TNLN

Busy area with f.hoons.

Nice hide easy find great picture location.

An absolutely gorgeous day here today. A nice easy find and then I just stood and watched the calm water for a while. Thanks for the cache

Had just dropped M off at airport so drove this way, missed the pull-in for one closer so just came to this one. Thanks Jabs.

Many thanks to JABs,
This was our 5 of 7 for todays cache hunt, Find number 1362 at 8:33:00 AM.
We are here in Tassy, hunting down your caches. This is our first time here and the weather here is fantastic, just a tad chilly. Please keep an eye out for us and come and say hi, we won't bite.


Had a look at GZ, well,what the GPS said was GZ, butno luck.
We extended oursearch about 12m and soon had cache in hand. Moved it a little closer to where itshould have been.

Trying not to catch the attention if the couple fishing I found it quickly and logged it - disappeared before they caught anything tftc

Out and about with newly engaged geodaughter and fiancé collecting a few caches after their engagement announcement. Nice easy find.

TFTC

Found this one after an unsuccessful fishing trip off the bridge. Interestingly, the cache seems to be called "top of the range", but it matches this cache in every other way... TFTC!

Our first ever!

Quick easy find. Next visitor should bring some clippers and trim the unfriendly prickle bush!

I had commitments next week in Hobart, So it was a quick and easy decision to head across early for sightseeing and caching long weekend.. So it was all planned.. I started at Hobart Airport early on Saturday and was loosely en route to the International Geocaching Day event (GC3RMH6) in Hobart. I later headed as far south as South Tasmania 1 (GC408). I had a blast taking in not only the caches but also the sights and sounds. My apologies to the cache owners for my very generic logs, Lots of caches were awesome, however all deserve more than this boring paragraph that I'm devoting.. I picked out lots of drive bys, however also slowed down for the odd multi or puzzle (solved in the field). Thanks to all cache owners for the wonderful caches, great locations and views and all the effort that has gone into the hides. I have taken a bunch of photos and will upload them in the coming week or so.. Back home now I'm slowly catching up on the logging.. I am looking forward to another tip back accross the straight to collect a whole lot of caches that I overlooked. Finds mostly fit into the #2800 - #2900 range.. Thanks for the cache.

Located with help from JK (sort of). On my way to my last ever game of footy. Found easily despite annoying rain, although JK pointed me in the completely wrong direction and tried to get me to negotiate a very slippery bank, I was successful but once up there I looked and the gps and reilized I was in the completely wrong place and had to negotiate the bank down. After all this the find was easy.

First real cache found a chicken too.

Nice cache Thanks!!!

Drive past these caches every weekend so called in today and introduced my nephew to caching.

Even with the road being busy the only muggle was a chicken pointing us in the right direction.

Thanks for the cache
Found at 08:40 on 05.08.2012

This was a quick find, which was just what we needed, as it was dark, wet and windy as we returned from an afternoon of caching elsewhere. TFTC JABS Didn't see the chicken - imagine it was sleeping somwhere cosier!

Quick drive by. Found it, but got spiked!

My very first cache on Tasmanian soil, very excited to have another State coloured in on the GCA maps.
Two cars close by when I pulled up, but they were down at the waters edge, too intent on their fishing to be worried about what I was doing. A nice quick easy pick and sign, and great views while doing so. Thanks to JABs for the cache and bringing me here.

Found @ 4:25pm Nice Quick Grab. TFTC!

Nice easy find once I got on the correct side of the bridge Doh!!
Found while waiting for my flight back to the mainland.

A quick drive by on a calm day. TFTC.

pulled up within 1 metre.. such a quick find... if only I had of brought a rod.
Thanks for the cache JABs

Great spot.
TFTC

Found after checking every bush. Quite a high muggle presence. TNLN TFTC.

Noticed this one had been replaced since a failed weekend attempt, and luckly I was working in Sorell this arvo so I had a another chance to grab the cache while it was still in my mind. Found no worries this time thanks JABs!

Cache replaced. Some details changed.

Found plenty of spider nests but no cache. Checked everywhere around GZ but just couldnt spot anything although gps was playing up a little bit today.....

nice find with the family tftc

Found last Saturday afternoon (14th March). Very quiet when we were there. Good clear description of GZ.

Just arrived in Tasmania after 2 hour flight delay due to fog in Melbourne.
Quick find in our new hire car.
Thanks Jacqueline and Peter #7068

Good info on the bridge - tftc JABs

Based on the info, cache was what I expected it to be. Pretty sweet.
Nice hide location. Plenty of muggles but they seemed much more interesting in fishing.
Thanks.

Found on a caching day - a clean up day really - finding the recently put out caches in areas I had cleared

I love this cache container, certainly not what I expected when jabs told me the cache he was hiding here.

Signed the log book,mbut the lack of swaps for this type of container was disappointing.

Sooo cute!!

Visiting from Newcastle NSW, loved the ammo container, TFTC!!

There were a few cars parked at GZ including one right where we had to look. Thankfully the cache was quickly found and returned TFTC!

Another excellent parking spot - in fact we were able to pull up right next to the cache and use the car to shield us from the numerous fishing muggles. Still haven't decided if the container is really a large nano or a small micro! Once the formalities were completed, we were on our way. TFTC JABs

With water being glassy, and people on boates nearby, this brought back fond memories of my recent expedition with SamCarter.
If I had had the kayak handy, I would have been out there in a flash, but as I had to go to work, I had to settle for just finding the cache.
I was a little confused by what appeared to be a discrepancy between the description and the hint, but upon finding it (good coords), it all made sense.
(Strangely, the new maps of GC were very odd on the iPhone app - they showed bothe me and the cache out in Pittwater!)
Thanks, JABs.

Found it at 5:00pm. SL. Thanks

Nice views of the water and a cool cache box, but it wouldn't hold may rounds.
TFTC

In all the time I have lived her I haven't walked these bridges. Great to be out & about. Found on a day of caching with family & Drat1964. TFTC

I should have found this cache 2 days ago when I made a FTF with the near by cache but the co-ords hadn't loaded onto my gps or I hadn't given it time to download so when I got to the area I thought it would be I discovered I hadn't downloaded the info needed, I had a bit of a scout about even at GZ with the information I remembered , I was too lazy to return yesterday but decided to pick it up on the way to work this morning not a FTF however Tassie Trekkers had already been last night (congratulations ). day light was only just showing at 6 a.m. when I found the cute little cache container. TFTC JABs

Hi JABs
Had to go to Sorell this morning; so took a slightly longer trip to get some croakers at Richmond and got this cache after finding "Blue Metal View 2."
A drizzly morning, but not to be detered; looked and managed a find at 0903hrs this morning. Even with all the muggle cars around, this find was quick and easy. Not the type of cache box I was expecting! The girl guides were enjoynig their outing in the corner and a few fishers arrived just after the find and the logging of the cache.
A good hide and cache box; enjoyed the experience.
Thanks to you for the cache;
Cheers OldSaint.

Woo Hoo *FTF* @ 10 pm surprised to find a blank sheet waiting for us. Found on the way to Dunalley with geovan in tow, good time to do it as no muggles and no traffic. Thanks JABs good hide not what we were expecting.
