No luck for me at this one. I note some trees and shrubs have been cleared from the area but not sure how recent that was and if it could have affected the cache. Thanks anyway!
Lol! Lived on this beach for seven years prior to taking up GCing...never knowing of the delights it held. Nice cache !
Cache zombified. Naturally DaddyCat was trying all sorts of wierd and wonderful ideas while MummyCat walked up and said here it is! Another lesson in not jumping to conclusions before you look... Tftc.
Nicely designed and a well thought out cache. TFTC

Cache found during my stay in Tasmania! Thank you for this discovery

Very clever hide. We were signing the log in the car when a man holding a GPS walked towards GZ. After signing the log we went towards the man who was looking in the correct spot and gave him the cache. TFTC.
Took a bit of searching made harder by all the activity about, including a swimming race. A great container. Left a TB. TFTC JABs
A morning walk turned into a finish after 2:30 and we hadn't had lunch. A bad start ended with a bad finish but in between we managed to get a decent score along the Tranmere tracks. We are residents of the western shore and whilst standing in sunshine we could look back to our home front near the mountain to see showers falling.

Found this one awhile ago while visiting my nan and then again with my Scout troop. Thanks Dad.
Oh Man!! You've done it again JABs. These caches are awesome. We really appreciate the effort you go to. It makes searching for your caches so enjoyable!!! A great night for caching. TFTC.
The HotCrossBoy and I went for a ride along the foreshore track and hoped to find the hides along the route. We had a good ride and reasonable success in the search, which kept us going! Thanks to the hardworking hider(s) who encouraged us to get over here!
Bit of a hunt, but got it eventually. Consensus was this needed a fave point! Thanks JABs

We targeted the series of caches along the Clarence Foreshore Trail from Bellerive Oval to Howrah Point today & found it really enjoyable. The quality & variety of the hides selected by the CO was impressive & kept us on our toes. None of your "yet another systema under a rockpile here", but the helpful hints & descriptive names were there to give us a nudge when needed.
Another excellent camo job - taken a bit of effort this one. This was the turn around point on our afternoon's caching. We'll save the southern section of the trail for another day. Thanks very much for an enjoyable jaunt JAB's. We've garnered enough ticks from you today to win another fav point to give away & this series certainly deserves one. We're torn between giving it to Concreate or Grass but Grass wins out for the novelty of the camo. Seems it's collecting quite a few too.

Took a bit of thinking but found it in the end.TFTC and geodad stepped in doggy doo doo
took us a while after poking around closeby. Jabs found 4 of yours today- thanks!
Found with Justjessie on day 6 of our Tasmanian caching tour. Got the bikes off the back of the Motorhome and did the lower section of this power trail before heading off to our overnight stop.
Great container..

Hi JABs. When this series first came out, I remember thinking "wow, talk about giving away the cache location in the name", but your hides are so clever, our finds weren't as straight forward as I thought they would be!
This one took geoniece and I a good 10 minutes to find this excellently hidden cache. Favourite point for me.

New Year's Day and we set ourselves a challenge to complete the foreshore caches. Enjoying the variety of the hides. Very nice camo.
Great cache, Geokid A loved this one! Very clever, TFTC JABs, a favourite point from us
Another smiley on our 24 find caching day in Hobart. A fairly easy find and luckily hidden from most peoples view. Thanks JABs.
We are attempting 12 caches on 12/12/12 and this is the 1st. A nice little hide. Thanks JABs.
A nice easy find in a beautiful location. This one gets a fav point for the cache but also for the memories of the drowning event, there were some flowers on the beech and it made me very thoughtful as I spent a moment in quiet reflection at GZ. Signed log and replaced cache as found. TFTC and greetings from the UK.

Many thanks to JABs,
This was our 5 of 27 for todays cache hunt, Find number 1369 at 10:26:00 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.
A nice easy stroll for GeoH, love the hide.

Great hide excellent cammo,enjoying the variety of these hides thanks JABs
A find to membsec. I went to look at the hide but maybe too weak?? A clever hide!! TFTC
Out and about with newly engaged geodaughter and fiancé collecting a few caches after their engagement announcement. Nice easy find.

A great find with Ainstar, Scottymyth and membsec. Clever hide, once again! TFTC
had a day free in Hobart so we did a drive and grab type of run through this area.
Found after a false start, looked in the right place but didn't look at the 'right angle' but on second inspection all was revealed. A nice little beach, there was even someone in the water (brave or crazy).

What a lovely little beach in an area we'd never visited before. Clever hide. TFTC
Although our GPS had us about 5m away from where it thought GZ should be, the hint was a great help and the cache was located very quickly. An excellent hide, very well constructed. the cache and its contents were in good condition. We certainly haven't seen a stubby holder used in this way before. TFTC JABs.
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.
I really enjoyed this power trail.. I too was able to park and walk to 2-3 caches before moving car on a km or two and repeating.. lovely spot and some very creative hides.. thanks JABs
Are little scorpions poisonous?? WATCH OUT..

It was nice to get back on the foreshore. This was the closest I parked to any cache all day and it was another good hide that was easily found. It feel like I am doing a power trail but it is much better than that as there is tremendous variety at every turn
Thanks again JABs
Thanks again JABs
As it was such a brilliant day we couldn't resist pramming the bub and harnessing up the dog for a walk. Another hide with fantastic views across the water.
Thank you for the cache!

I reckon this one will remain muggle free for a long time. Once again JABs a lot of effort went into this beauty. Found with "Karopi" TFTC [^]
Nce cache hide! Excellent work.
Found on an afternoon of caching with Sylken during my excellent Tassie vacation

#4 of the day around Hobart and down to Grove whilst here from the Mainland for work. Once again, another clever camo, and a superb stretch of beach to enjoy whilst I was here. Thanks to JABs for the cache, and for bringing me here.
I wanted a quick find so zipped down here on my way to school. I really like this hide, it's in such a public place, but I can see it really lasting. Great one, thanks Jabs.
Found at 9:20am. Searched a few places but obvious once we found it Nice cache.
Dropped Geoduck Trackable, picked up Laptop Trackable.

Really clever hide. Which is a bid odd to say considering how easy it was to find.
After having a bit of a look round on getting near GZ we followed the GPS and with the coords being just about bang on we soon spotted the cache.
Dropped off a TB that has come a long way to be here.
Thanks for the cache

Can you believe I have never set foot on this beach before? It was pretty, but extremely cold, so I didn't hang around to enjoy the views much. But I will be back! Thanks JABs, nice different kind of hide
Always fun finding something unique and different .. Thanks JABs this one was very cool !!
Snuck down to the cache while keeping a close eye on nearby muggles. Took TB. TFTC!
Found quickly and easily. This is where I used to hang out as a kid. Plenty of days swimming and fishing here. TFTC and the memories.
When I was here the other day, the tide was a long way out. Today wasn;t too bad, but I could see the signs of water having washed all the way up to the wall.
I used my GPSr this time instead of my iPhone, and spotted what I was looking for very quickly.
Thanks - another sensible hide.

A quick find at 2130 this evening. The cache was easy but the waves were being difficult.
The tide must be up & there was only a couple of feet of unsplashed sand available.
Walked to the cache between waves but signing the log saw the highest wave yet.
Splashed shoes for geodad but geomum managed to escape to the last couple of clear inches in her very not waterproof shoes. A rapid escape ensued. TFTC

Hmmm - I'm sure it was something obvious staring me in the face, but 10 minutes of searching didn't turn up the prize. I've got quite a track record of DNFs.
Thanks for the spot, anyway - I've never been on this beach.

Hi JABs
Love all your caches along this beach area on the Eastern Shore and this one was no exception.
Arrived at ground zero and had the beach to myself; not a muggle to be seen.
Had a quick find; signing the log at 1145am
A little windy today and a strange cloud formation around the mountain made for an interesting find.
TFTC and cheers

Quick easy find with spot on coords. Loved the hide. Will claim *FTF* at 1630 even though we met a fellow cacher down the road who got that FTF but couldn't see any local cacher's names in partly used log book. Deserves a favourite.
Hi jabs. Another of your clever hides in this growing and growing series was very enjoyable. Actually did not need to find the cache itself as we met DNA at the gz with cache in hand. We signed the log, chatted about things geocaching and returned to the car to search for bus stop nano. I was given the job of finding the hiding place, which I am sure I have seen at your house previously. Thanks for the cache and the series.
We were standing at GZ admiring the view and waiting for muggles to leave when we heard fellow cachers arriving. We had a quick scout around and had cache in hand very quickly. It was good to catch up with Budgie and son again.
