In Tassie on a family visit, nice to pick up some local caches. Sorry for the late log
I was just passing and I really could not resist! If gave itself up easily.... Thanks choppersrule!
#1387 - 10:30; Missed this one on the trip last year, so returned today for a very quick find. The cache could be seen sitting in the garden, so after signing the log placed it back about three inches away, but under a little cover. TFTC choppersrule
After a quick look using the geo sense as the GPS was all over the place for some reason, geo junior soon had the log book signed! Tftc
Found while on a training in Launceston for the egg. GPS was all over the place, so I trusted my gut and found it. TFTC
Found this one pretty easily, spotted reperio looking also, team find. First find in tassie.
Almost gave up on this one, due to muggles close by, then noticed wests tigers fan looking also, team find.
Popped past here on our way to the growers market. A quick search and we had the cache in hand. TFTC.
7536. [green]Couldn't find a bus stop but I did find a cache thankfully. Felt very uncomfortable searching but luckily there were no people around to see. [/green]

Fossicked around and found it along with everybody's rubbish and a doggy doo!! Agh. SL TFTH.
Found while on a brief stay in Lonnie doing some caches and a little Ingressing with cached.

Drove by earlier in the day and there were people everywhere so went off and did the family thing and came back later. This time we had to wait while two muggles attached an election sign to the fence of a nearby business and dog walkers wandered by. Then made a quick find as soon as the coast was clear. TFTC
This was a nice quick find. Luckily for me a truck parked in front of the workers having smoko. SL TFTC
Great time out with the family. DR JAMES, SMELLY BELLY 8 and JABs Had a lot of fun and it was a very lovely day. Gained lots of fantastic memories and visited some cool places. This was part of my geocaching scouting challenge.

15:37:35 Unsure of the location of any bus stop and this seemed to be past the front fence. But enjoyed looking at the old building up close. No muggle issue as Sunday arvo on a long weekend.

On a caching trip with the family up north. This is to help my cub scouting challenge we did 50 in one day which is a record for the whole family together.
Didn't find it. We did find lots of empty cans. Lots of muggles watching us closely so we went onto other caches.
Beautiful sunny day today, great enjoyed trip to Launceston city and easy to find as hide very well thanks
Not sure how this is a bus stop which confused us a little but we did manage to find it today. The cache has no pen though.
After a busy day at AGFEST decided a stretch of the legs was in order. Really dislike these out in the open style caches but soon retrieved it without being noticed. LS TFTC
Found last night but didn't have a pen. Returned this evening to sign the log. Thanks for the cache.
Last one for the morning as part of an pre dawn caching run. Started at one end of GZ and worked way my way to the other till I found the cache. Thanks Chopperrule for your cache.
I have been here a couple of time to look for this, but this was the first time I thought to myself to look up the other end. D'oh. Well, at least I finally found it!! TFTC!!
This was our 3rd cache find in the caching run & we found it at 12:39
So this now makes our total find count 6062.

What a day it's been. We were originally supposed to meet some friends at McDonalds, but somehow we each ended up in different ones. After we sorted that out, and after a good (??) coffee we were off and running on our cache hunt for the day.
Today must be a good day for caching, because we have been able to meet and chat with three teams during the day.
We didn't see a bus stop nearby. Is there one?
[/blue]
Coordinate Accuracy: Excellent (Under 2 metres)
Cache Condition: Container and log book are in good shape.
Took: Nothing.
Left: Bottle Opener

Nice easy find thanks. A bit of a scratch around had the cache in hand. This trip to Tasmania going anticlockwise from Devonport is our third trip and the first in our motorhome. This is another cache, there will be many more, hopefully.

Found with Billcamz and geo families. Lovely day - tricky spot. I was wondering where the bus stop was - then one pulled up. TFTC. Going to have a crack at my first FTF on your last cache for the year! Thanks
We had a quick search where the hint suggested but felt like we were on private property so didn't hang around for long.
Well, this cache has certainly "moved around". We had looked for this cache at the previously updated conosdinates (not the published ones) without success. Now that the cache is back in the original area we thought we would give it another go. Accurate coordinates led to a quick find. The cache and contents were in good condition. TFTC choppersrule. Great to have this one sorted out finally - must be a relief to the cache owner.

Hi. This one has gone missing. Will replace as soon as I am able. Watch this space.
Hi choppersrule
Once again, thank you for your very prompt action. Indeed we will watch this space.
Once again, thank you for your very prompt action. Indeed we will watch this space.
Since the last find of this cache at the revised coordinates, we have had three trips to the location to look for this cache, all without success. We are concerned that any more vigorous searching on our part will destroy the vegetation. We would appreciate this cache being checked by the CO. Thanks choppersrule.
Hi choppersrule
Today was the first day of a two caching expedition with Budgietas and Cheesy Pigs. The day was fine and just what you want for caching.
Left Huonville at 0700hrs, met up with the two other finders and left for Launceston about 0900hrs. Got back to Huonville on the first of November at 2340hrs. A great trip; first day excellent and was topped off with an event and caching to mid-night after. Crashed for the night down near the airport.
This cache was my twentieth find for the day:
A small cruise from Latrobe to Launceston; finding "A CRAFTY troll" on the way; soon had us at ground zero and the search was on before attending the event "Just Be Cause" . A small search and a quick find.
The cache to hand, the log signed and container returned to its hide at 1755hrs.
From here it was off to the "Cock and Bull" to attend the event.
(We had breakfast at this Maccas the next morning.)
This days caching produced fourty-one finds for me, eclipsing my previous best finds for a day by twelve finds, total of forty-one for the trip so far. I think Cheesy beat his previous best too.
Thanks for the cache;
Cheers OldSaint.

After three tries of cache blindness and wrong coordinates it is good to finally have this cache found. Now on to dinner . Thanks for the cache
With the co-ordinates confusion and no gps we used some geocaching logic, all taken from the description of the cache and the logs as well as some elcato commonsense to attempt to find the location of the gz. We stumbled across a few places in our adventure but with none that contained garden bed. .....well you can imagine our surprise when we found a little path with a garden bed that in the end had a really easy find....thankyou for this cache....it was a mystery for us to solve
like everyone else WRONG SPOT
didn't read logs first
maybe co'ords need changing (not only in log)
great spot for a cache and a 30 cent'er aswell

Hi Choppers Rules.
A nice cache hide, but a bit of mystery work required to find the cache
Thanks for the cache

Searched for this for a while before rechecking the description and realising the coords were wrong. It was impossible to update the coords for this on my GPS.
Could the cache owner consider correcting the coordinates for this cache so that others don't end up wasting time looking in completely the wrong place for this cache?
After initially visiting the wrong location yesterday we went to the new coordinates today. This cache was found quickly and provided an excuse for a quick McSnack and a coffee.

Nice easy find once the correct coordinates were used. Not much in the cache other than a log sheet.
Found while out and about doing a few Lonnie urban caches. Thanks for organising the hunt.
Out and about In Tassie for a few weeks on holidays collecting caches. Went to the wrong coords first then read descriptions. Quick find in a great area, thanks for bringing us here.

Probably need to update the coords in GC to avoid having this one show up in the city but luckily I spotted the new coords on the page and dropped in here for a cache and sustenance around lunchtime.
Easy find
Thanks
