Wow what an interesting place, thanks for bringing me here. Now let see if I can find my way out

This cache was found today and brings our overall cache find tally to 13574.Whod have guessed a glacier once punched through here! The walk was pretty funny, lots of surprises. Our answers have been sent and confirmed. Thanks thomarter for the cache.

Going the long way from Queenstown to StrahanStopped for a look at the earthcache Bit wet But continued on for a look hereAll good Signed and replaced Thanks for the cacheNow to get rid of the hitch-hikersPicked up a couple of leeches as wellNot the travel bugs I prefer

After completing the questions to the nearby earthcache we headed off in search of this cache and made a nice quick find. TFTC!Cheers,The Hancock Clan

Geography was my favourite subject at school if Id gone to Uni back then thats what I would have studied. Glaciers was also one of my favourites so we had to stop here for the erratics. Quick find and sign TFTC

On the way home after a six day west coast sojourn featuring geocaching as the main activity.I can remember back in 1969 when you didn't need to leave your car to get a view of the balanced erratic as the whole area must have been burnt out by the frequent fires which people regularly lit all over the place. GPS took us exactly to the spot. cache and contents in good nick. TFTC thomarter.

Found as we explored the area while on our holiday, we enjoyed the walk to this one, through the beautiful area, TFTC and the fun

Found with the 1st Queenstown Scout Group. Beautiful glacial rock formations. Love the army of soldiers. We took the flag and swapped it out with a badge.

Many thanks to Jolly0 for replacing the broken cache container etc.
So nice to see a geocacher who takes spares etc to repair things they find when out and about.

What a fascinating place. The erratics look out of place among all the native bush land. I learnt how they found their way here and it’s hard to imagine that rocks and ice could do this.
Once again geocaching has educated me yet again.

Don’t miss out, it’s going to be MEGA -

Found it but container full of water and unfortunately didn’t have a spare. Thanks

A quick find of the container full of water with a saturated unuseable log and a smashed lid. I collected the information to get this cache a few months ago so was not aware of its damaged condition so unfortunately I did not have a replacement container with me. I left a small laminated icybeetas card as evidence of my find.

Prague - Frankfurt - Singapore - Sydney - Hobart - Melbourne - Miri - Kuala Lumpur - Singapore - Frankfurt - Prague. The main destination of the whole trip was Tasmania, where we stayed for 8 days. This wild island gave us unique opportunities to discover the treasures hidden in the beautiful nature. Greetings from the Czech Republic.

Apparently the container has been smashed so it would be greatly appreciated if a visiting cacher could replace the container and log book. A couple of sticky-notes in a sealed bag would be ok.

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.

Cache is damaged and full of watter
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.

Found the cache, the log is water logged and the Sistema container has been smashed and is full of ants.Looks Luke someone has purposely dropped a rock on it. Needless to say I was unable to sign. Badly needs maintenance CO.

We continued today our tour in Tasmania, AUS, and thereby searched, found and logged this interesting Traditional-Cache.

The weather was - said in one word – simply best. The good hidden caches and the being on holidays kept us the whole day in a good mood.

The cache had good coordinates, and thus was easy to find. The logbook was okay, and allowed easy logging.

Thanks to thomarter for the generation of this nice cache GLACIAL ERRATICS (with the proper agenda), for leading us here and for showing us this funny location as well as the ongoing maintenance of this cache.

Logbook is completely wet!

PS: Please forgive us the uniform log which is needed due to timing problems - if necessary special actions and happenings are there described where they appeared.

Greetings from Germany together with the hope to meet somewhere like event or wood.

Good one to while shuffling cars for overland track adventure!

We found this cache while exploring the west coast area of Tassie for a week.
An easy find once at GZ.
The area up to GZ and the information on how the rocks and the area was formed was fascintaing the read.
We're learning alot about Geology in this area.

Watching the car thermometer start at temperatures on what I set the fridge on, then slowly make its way toward zero didn't make my decision of wearing shorts and holey boots a wise choice this morning. In fact if was f'n cold!! Collected this trad while researching the earth cache. Thanks thomarter for placing this cache.

Had to pull over to check this site out. Completed the Earthcache and then continued to make the find of the cache. Everything is in good order here.

Down in the Apple Isle with JACS and TeamARF for a week or so to hunt some caches and traipse about having adventures. Fab puzzles and wonderful countryside. Awesome caches all round! We are thoroughly enjoying this adventure and grabbing some very well maintained oldies awesome locations. Today was mostly about Penguins! Adorable little creatures with an entire named in their honour and a GeoArt. We had a ball today despite it being along one! Finished off some LGAs and of course another cemetery. Tftc

Thanks for the cache

Nice little walk. Our teenager just loves geocaching. He can’t wait to find some more! Just kidding we bribe him with food…

Driven past many, many times and never stopped. Today I thought I’d stretch my legs. It’s a very interesting location and glad to have come. TFTC

Found it! Full log to follow.

A quick detour while travelling from Strahan to Queenstown. A very interesting place. TFTC

A very interesting area, quick find on arrival at GZ. Signed log and replaced. Thanks to thomarter.

TFTC,
After finishing GCG2NR, it was time to explore via a trip to Tullah and Rosebery. Must recommend a vist to the history photos at the cafe near the Post Office in Tullah. Learnt so much by talking to locals.
We checked out all the information boards before getting here and fully understood the Geology of the area. Thanks for bringing us here, visited trackables.

Pretty easy but fun

Exceptional place. As many have said,we probably wouldn’t have stopped if not for your cache! I have learned a thing or two, and enjoyed the landscape! TFTC

Wow, such an amazing and interesting place. I've never seen anything like this. Thanks for putting a cache here thomarter.
Container is showing signs of aging and beginning brittle but still ok at the moment.

Thanks for bringing us here.

Easy find, beautiful place

An easy find once on the right path TFTC

Quick find TFTC

Bit of a climb, TFTC

Went exploring around the Zeehan area today. We collected the info for the nearby earthcache, and then carried on to find this one. What an interesting place. The geokids loved exploring and they made a quick find. TFTC

The cache got us to stop, and like the best caches, as a result we saw this impressive place and learned a bit more about Tassie's crazy geology. Good work.

Dit is een plek waar ik zonder mijn hobby geocachen nooit gekomen zou zijn. Geweldig!

This is a place I would never have come without my hobby of geocaching. Awesome!

Tasmania Day 5: Devonport - Cradle Mountain - Queenstown

On this leg of the Tassie Tour, we leave Devonport and head towards Cradle Country for a short sojourn before entering the Western Wilderness. We drove from Devonport, up the Forth River Valley into the National Park for a short walk around Dove Lake and the Enchanted Walk before having lunch nearby. After lunch, we drove into the remote but spectacular Western part of Tasmania where the road wound through spectacular valleys and lakes. Another beautiful and great day in Tassie and of course, there was caching is some of these brilliant places. Thanks for all the caches along the way!

This is the specific log for this cache:
Last cache for the day, picked up together with the nearby EC. This was a rather nice walk on the moraine, and after following the instructions and the hint, the cache was quickly found as stated. TFTC!

With a bit of time off and a chance to get away from Sydney was what I needed TeamMerlin was also free at the time. So Tasmania seemed to be a good place to spend about a week. It has been a while since I last went when I was there for photography and before I knew about Geocaching. We found a lot of nice caches including one of the oldest caches which was a Hide month I was missing. A lot of puzzles had been solved either before we went down or the night before between us. While here we also visited a lot of EarthCache and learnt a lot more about what makes up Tasmania

With cache in hand we signed the log and replaced as found. Both the cache and log are in good condition. Thanks for bringing me to the area and thanks for placing the cache thomarter

The following TBs visited for the distance - phlphotos 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, phlphotos Mary Hyde's compass (to help us find where we were going) , phlphotos Spindoc Bob Memorial Geocoin, phlphotos Cache In Trash Out Geocoin, phlphotos Cache In Trash Out Tag, phlphotos CITO Micro Geocoin, phlphotos Four Elements Geocoin, phlphotos Optical Illusion Geocoin

In Tasmania for a short caching trip with phlpohotos collecting some Old School caches as well as picking up some caches in previously unfound Tasmanian LGAs. With the cache in hand we signed the log before replacing as found. Both the cache container and log are in good condition, after signing we replaced as found. Thanks for the cache thomarter.

Easy found. Last person didn't hide it good. Put some more rocks on it. Watch out for leeches

While in Tasmania with PlagueRider, we stopped at a few geocaches as we wandered around from place to place exploring this little gem down under. This was one of the ones that we found. Thanks to all cache owners for putting these out here for us to hunt!

Stopped by with CDCGeoSWG while passing through the area. TFTC

A quick find in a super cool place. No soil so very few trees. Geology is so cool.

TFTC!

Crazy area with the AMAZING tea tree rainforest on the way up and then at the top, the landscape is SOO different !!
I’m no geologist but that is super cool.

I left Adelaide ten days ago and slowly made my way across to Melbourne, then across on the ferry, and now I’m headed to Hobart, primarily to catch up with family and friends. But I have also been chasing down some selected caches, as well as a few opportunistic finds along the way.

Today I travelled from near Stanley, down to Queenstown via Tullah, then on to Bronte Lagoon where I camped.

I stopped here opportunistically, and found it to be a really interesting little spot.

Thanks thomarter for the cache.

Found with BillHill531, Doing a Trip clockwise around Tasmania. TFTC

Found with Stan_d_Man while having a few weeks in Tasmania, our fourteenth day in Tasmania. traveling from Queenstown to Strahen, after missing out on the train ride, due the machenical problems, visiting salmon ponds and water falls on the way, so when thought Zeehan as well.

Trackables visit

First one we’ve looked for and found. Brilliant!

Find #413. An interesting geology lesson here! Surprising how many muggles stop to investigate too. Found cache without too much trouble, though we appreciated the warning about the cutting grass. TNLNSL, TFTC!

Camped at Strahan, out today for a few caches, quick find thanks to the hint. TFTC

Actually found it 2 days ago! With the GPS bouncing this easy find took some time!! Amazing spot that I would not have seen. TFTC

An interested by area. Would have never noticed but for this cache.

On our two month travelling trip through Austrialia, we are enjoying all the wonderful places and scenery. We will stop on the way to visit some nice caches as well. This one we could find.

Tassie Trip Day 39 - It is time for another day out in the country side from Queenstown it is lots of trips as the density is very low for caches so we went to Zeehan today with and couple of detours to cover some of those more remote caches so Trial Harbour and a really lonly cache that is on the other side of the river from Corinnia just to collect another smilie.

Today began at this GLACIAL ERRATICS cache and found some interesting looking rocks along the way to the GZ at GZ the cache was soon hand and the necessary infromation left.

Thanks thomarter for showing us this interesting place to stop and cache.

Reperio at 1315.

As the family and I were headed from Hobart to Cradle Mountain today, we kept our stops to a minimum, however this one looked interesting. We parked at the signboard and wandered along the trail to GZ where the cache was quickly discovered. The erratic here were wonderful, and the kids loved the walking trail and the tall boulders along the way. Great spot.

Gratias thomarter.

Driving from Moina to Strahan today, enjoying the views and caching, including a few detours as they take us to interesting places. Great to see these huge boulders and the glacial moraine. You could set an earthcache here too! No problems finding the cache after stopping to look at the boulders and plaques on the way up the hill. Have a favourite point for drawing this to our attention. SL. TFTC.

Really enjoyed looking around this location. Who would have known this was all here. This is a generic log to help me catch up with the long overdue logging of my found caches. Please note that each cache and location can be remembered but due to time restraints unable to personalize each log. The date logged may also differ to day found. Thank you for sharing this location for us.

Found it

Found it did not leave anything

ok

Nice hide good view

Hi there thomarter.

We found your cache **"GLACIAL ERRATICS"** at 2:53:00 PM today. (This makes our grand total 18941).

We are camped at Zeehan for a couple of nights, and headed down to Queenstown today to ride on the West Coast Wilderness Railway. We thoroughly enjoyed the drive - steep and winding roads are much easier without the caravan - and the ride on the train. We ended up finding a variety of container types, and sizes on our journey. Our find count for today was 4 caches, with 0 DNF's.

Thanks for placing the cache here. Without geocaching as our guide we would never have found so many interesting places on our travels.

**Coordinate Accuracy:** We found this cache around 2m from where the GPS said we should be looking.
**Cache Condition:** The container and log book are in good shape.
**Took:** Nothing.
**Left:** A Smiley Badge.

Thanks for the hunt today,

Regards

Ian & Penny.

Found this one on the way back from trying to go into Lake Margaret. Nice steep climb, Leon remembers when you could see the Rock from the road! Thanks for the cache.

Out and about exploring this great part of Tasmania as part of are 8 mth trip to this Island paradise, love Tas... TFTC, TNLN. fav point from us

20:31 we carefully read the information plaque, then explored the track, and finally went after the cache, which is a little sideways; found easily; weather 8 C, after rain, getting dark; thanks for the box in a very nice place and hello from the Czech Republic!

Caching our way around the West coast after the Oz Day event with SSRat and Goose&Egg. After making it clear that it was too hot and there would be no more walking up hills today we came across this cache so off we went of course. Very interesting walk and yes worth getting out of the car in the heat for. TFTC
