It was a short run of bad luck here as I was unable to locate this one after checking just about every movable rock, only to have the CO turn up and confirm the worst, it had been muggled. Following this a road closure to Cradle Mountain meant a longer than expected drive to get there. One day we might be back to get this one and it was good to meet to cache owner in a spot with a great view.

So my brother and his children have joined me on a trip to Tasmania from Mount Gambier in South Australia. We were filling in our first day, before we could move into our accommodation for the week. My niece and nephew are getting very good at this treasure hunting.
I came to this town several years ago to go caving, no caves for me today.
Thanks

Australia Trip, Day 27 of 49
Tasmania Trip, Day 11 of 12
On Cache tour with Theatralis.

German Log:
Wir wollten in Tasmanien unbedingt noch eine Höhle besichtigen. Deswegen machten wir heute Mittag eine Tour durch die Marakoopa Cave. Anschließend ging es noch zu den Liffey Falls. Auf dem Weg zurück nach Devonport machten wir noch eine große Cache-Tour. Unter anderem statteten wir dem Great Lake einen Besuch ab. Da am nächsten Tag in der früh unsere Fähre ging, haben wir am Abend noch ein paar Caches in Devonport geholt.
Interessante sculptur! Kunst und gemütlichkeit vereint Wink Nachdem wir es uns ein bisschen angeschaut hatten, machten wir uns auf die Suche. Es dauerte nicht lange, da hatte Theatralis die Dose gefunden.

English Log: (translated with Google Translater)
We still wanted to visit a cave in Tasmania. That's why we made this afternoon a tour to the Marakoopa Cave. Then we still went to the Liffey Falls. On the way back to Devonport we made a large cache tour. Among others, we visited the Great Lake. Because our ferry was started very early on the next day, we still got a few caches in Devonport evening.
Interesting sculpture! Art and coziness combined Wink After we had looked at a little bit, we started searching. It was not long since Theatralis had the can found.

Our time visiting Tasmania is nearly at an end.

Overnighting in Chudleigh we headed out to find a cache to continue our geostreak.

Beautiful day out around the Mersey Forest.

First stop for the day and had to read the whole cache page before the cache bit us in the moosh. [B)]

Great spot, great find thanks

Searched for a few minutes for this one but found and signed. Took pics of the sculpture and the firefighters site. What a job they're having here Sad TFTC Smile

We've now only got five weeks left of our six month stay (til the end of March '16) from the Kurrajong area, (Blue Mountains) NW of Sydney, to tour in the caravan and also visit our kids and grandkids in the Huon Valley Smile On four previous visits before this visit, we were muggles, so we're having fun finding the caches we didn't even know were here! Smile
 
15-Feb-16
Today was day 52 of our trip out of Sydney to visit the southern states of Victoria and Tasmania and day 10 of the Tasmanian part.

This cache was a very quick and easy find. Being out of sight of any muggles also helped and reading all the available information led us straight to the right place. After the log had been signed the cache was replaced as found. Thank you for placing this cache for us and others to find.

A 10 day trip to Tasmania with a lot more caching then initially expected, but I enjoyed every minute of it! This was one of the many caches I found and enjoyed. Can't wait to get back here and do it all over again, there are so many great places in Tasmania.

Tried but failed. Don't like pulling someone's art apart...maybe it should be moved to the timber lorry

A great example of dry stone wall building but how did they get the timber to warp like that? Train history was interesting too. TFTC.

I finally found this one in the first place I had looked, but obviously not thoroughly enough. It didn't help that the GPS zeroed out in a clear area. Another more careful look revealed the cache Loved the sculpture, but a little,dismayed at the way so many rocks have been moved. Tftc colliflowers

2nd Cache find after 7 year sabbatical. Nice hide indeed! And very responsible not disturbing the rocks on the sculpture.
Note to others - an Eclipse tin is a mint/candy tin. I had no idea what that was.

Had been looking to cache this area for some time but suddenly, yesterday it became a reality. Had made the trip up to Lake Mckenzie (for a GCA cache Surprised) and now wending our way back to Deloraine accommodation. Interesting structures had us fooled for some time but eventually located with some seated thought.

We were suckered in perfectly. Did not move any stones, but were completely flummoxed by it. About ten minutes later we finally sat down and then, it clicked... Nice hide - there have been a few stones moved here - as per the hints and other logs -there is absolutely no need to move any stones at all to find this cache. TFTC!
 
08-Nov-14
It's a shame the rocks have been moved around, I hope it's not from cachers.
No, it's not necessary to move them.
Nice hide.

[red]Find #1780[/red]

We were off early this morning as this is our last day in Tasmania for this trip. We had a quick stop here to check out the sculpture. it was an interesting one. Cache was found quickly. Stamped and returned as found.

We enjoyed a wonderful 2 week trip around beautiful Tasmania soaking up the sights after visiting here almost 8 years ago. This time the little Na'wals are with us and some caching is to be done. We had a wonderful time time even the the terrible weather that we uncounted most of the time here.

(etrexer) Quick find after visiting the wildlife park today. Finding a cache was far better than visiting this rundown wildlife park. Far better off looking at native animals in their natural habitat but ok for the tourists I suppose . Thanks colliflowers

We were going to have lunch at Mole Creek but both cafes were closed, so the Chudleigh store got our custom. Sue found the cache soon after we sat down at GZ. TFTC colliflowers

Whilst making plans for a walk to Mount Pillinger we discovered there was a geocache on top and one also at the not too distant Lake McCoy, so we decided to incorporate both destinations in the walk.
As the last day of walking was not long we included a few caches in the Mersey Valley along the way between Chudleigh and Mole Creek.
