Very wrecked. We only found a shredded container in a fence with a pencil. Need maintenace. TFTC
Sorted out some AdLab stages this morning and now trying a few caches around Hobblers Bridge area. Found the remnants. Some kind cacher has put in the top of the rotting fence post.
So here's a photo, and we will claim a "find", unless you have other ideas. Thankyou for placing this hide here for the caching community.

Easy find but definitely needs replacing.container broken and log book soggy so photo logging
After the floods of last year submerging everything in this park I didn't hold a lot of hope in finding this one.
Still since I was here today I thought Id have a look.
Arrived at GZ and amazingly I found a few bits of swag and then saw a plastic bag partly buried with a log book inside.
As expected the log was wet but I managed to scribble our name in it.
The container was nearby but broken.
I gathered up what I could and re-hid what I found higher off the ground. Great to find this but some maintenance will be required.

Thanks for the cache.
Spending the night in Launceston with the GeoGSP and after spending a lot of the afternoon in the car driving up from Hobart, I was keen to take the GeoGSP for a walk before tea. The horrible weather was gone, and the clouds parted, but it was still quite cool.
As I wanted to have a decent walk, we parked at the northern end of the track and headed south, the track was very wet! But the caches we found along the way were worth it.
Well, the GeoGSP loved this area - this is such a great area, and so big! The GeoGSP had a ball running around whilst I strolled to GZ and found the cache. Coords are a bit out, but it's where you expect it to be.

Week two of marathon training. 8kn run tofday with the four legged friend. He loved stopping in this park at the end. GPS way out but found easy enough. Thanks
Being in the area so headed over. Found a way in via the off leash area and headed over. A quick find at a likely spot with some camo. We completed the signing duties and re hid. TFTC
Found with gus and tricky. Log very damp but we were still able to sign. Thanks for the cache.
Lovely day for a hike however gps out and log is soaked through.
I'm sorry no supply with me to fix.

Felt like a crime to enter this area without a four legged friend. Good find. Thanks!
After spending a night in Launceston with my daughters we set out shopping in the morning we still had time later in the day so now it was my time to s=find some caches so was able to get 4 in this area without them complaing to much!
GPS was bouncing around everywhere and was looking for a Mino but its size is Small and easy to find once looking in the correct area.
Thanks DaryVafder and Choppersrule for placing this cache , Have given a FP

In 2017 we tried for this one and we think it was lost in the flood today we turned it into a smiley. Kutgw
Out for a walk along the river with fellow catchers nataliec1234, this was a nice easy one to start with thanks
We're currently having a bit of a getaway in Launceston, and figured today would be a great day to try to track down a few caches. We were hoping to find a scenic spot with a few caches we hadn't yet tracked down, and the North Esk Trail seemed to fit the bill perfectly!
Upon arriving at the reserve, we headed directly for this cache. As we narrowed in on the posted coordinates, we found ourselves looking in the middle of an empty grass field, with no obvious spot where a cache could be hidden. Just when we were about to consider a few fairly obscure options, we noticed a possible spot a good 15m or so away which, fortunately enough, was indeed home to the cache!
Although the coordinates appear to be a little bit out (and the container we found is definitely not a micro!), we still loved the spot (what a great dog park!) and this was a great start to our adventure!

The third of three caches found in this nice parkland. Many thanks for the exercise and the cache cheeseandturkey.
Day 22 of my travels and my last day in Tasmania before heading back to the mainland and making my way to Queanbeyan for Easter.
After staying overnight in Launceston, I spent some time clearing up a few more of the caches I had targeted nearby and on my way to Devonport for the ferry. The weather was pretty ordinary, with strong winds and intermittent showers increasing through the day.
This was a quick find as I was completing a nearby multi. Not quite the size I had anticipated nor where the coordinates had me. But a find nonetheless.
Thanks choppersrule for the cache.

Camped at Launceston, out around town today for a few caches. Quick find, good coordinates. Cache all good. TFTC
Fairly easy find with CatCasper and fatinc. Was definitely not two inches long! That is all the caches in the vicinity done! Tftc.
Day 2 of our Launceston trip has us making an early start. Our first stop is Cataract Gorge. We take the easy way there and the steeper way out. After breakfast we do a few caches around town. We then make our way to Hobler's Bridge Reserve where DaryVafder had told us we could find a couple of her caches.
After finding ourselves on the wrong side of the fence we attacked this from a different angle and soon had the cache in hand. TNLN. TFTC.

We were a bit puzzled by this one but we found it all the same, soon added our names to the log and we were off again.
Thanks for the acche.
Myself and goose of gooseandegg planned a trip North into the badlands to get some caches to help with our hidden creatures finds, early start for a Saturday with me picking Goose up at around 7 O'clock even with a couple of stops along the way we made good time which helped us to clock up 42 finds on the Saturday and 24 on the Sunday before heading back to the civilised South, getting back in my drive at just gone 6pm with 580kms under my belt, 66 caches in 35 hours while not a bad haul is less than 2 an hour, I must try harder next time!

To be honest, this cache wasn't what I expected. I have not read all the logs but I am guessing the original was replaces at some time. Still, it was a good size container in a good spot! Thanks choppersrule. Hope you're enjoying that tropical warmth...we had snow in Tas on Saturday night.
I had a little hint from a friend with this one. I was told the original hide was amazing! Still good, thank you for the hide!
Hello choppersrule thank you for the cache.
A very easy find.
I wanted to find some caches so I could get some Hidden Creatures souvenirs that I can proudly display on my profile page that no one will see.
I travelled up from Hobart for this search.

Found while my dog was going troppo in the off leash area. I looked for this one back in '13 but it was a DNF. Due to the current 'small' size of the cache I assume it was replaced. TFTC 
On me cruise around one of L'townes 'burbs this morning,
I abandoned the geomobile by the banks of the North Esk
And went a strolling
With the light rain a fallin',
the doggie walking muggles were beginning to leave in droves [^]
Meanwhile out back of the DOLA,
I soon tracked down this well hidden,
but hard to extract cache
Logbook signed,
I muscled the container back into its rather cramped hiding place

Finally removed this from our DNF list yay, thanks Chopper and cheeseandturkey
Found this one a while ago with my mum when it was in its original working order, it was really cool! Just catching up on logs TFTC
Hi there choppersrule.
We cached around Launceston today - and found your cache **"Take stock of this one"** at 11:24:00 AM. (This brings our total find count to 18415).
We ended up finding a variety of container types and sizes on our journey & found 9 caches (& DNF'd 0).
Thank you for placing this cache here, without geocaching as our guide we would never have found so many interesting places on our travels.
**Coordinate Accuracy:** We found the cache in an obvious spot around 6m from where the GPS said we should be looking.
**Cache Condition:** The container and log book are no longer micro sized.
**Took:** Nothing.
**Left:** Smiley Badge.
Thanks for the hunt today,
Regards
Ian & Penny.

First geocache found - found about 5 days ago (updated to premium so I could log caches I have found)
First cache of the day with Geoson. Not sure if I had old coordinates, but they weren't very accurate.
cache has been replaced by DaryVafder it is close to where it was originally hidden. thank you very much you guys rock
Taking this one off line so i can get someone to confirm that its there or not
This was suppose to be the 3rd cache for the day but unfortunately we searched with no luck. After talking to choppersrule later in the day we decided to return and took a photo of the area. We now believe that the area has been changed and maybe no more cache there!:(
Great hide, it wasn't too long a search before Aus found the sneaky hide.
Thanks choppersrule for the cache and cheeseandturkey for maintaining it.

We found this very good hide after careful searching at GZ as the rusted nails and several armies of ants all over the structures were potentially quite dangerous. Thanks for the cache choppersrule.
Super clever! After some confusion geochild found it by tripping and grappling hold of it
Hahaha this had us going for a bit, ofcourse being choppers cache it was going to be a good one. Found by accident when the geokid leant on something and it moved!!! thanks for this one!!
