no idea what paper clips, etc, refers to. A quick search of the usual spots had it in hand..

Quite a busy entrance way so I had to time my search carefully. Accurate coords led to a quick find. TFTC

Great quick little find TFTC

First Tasmanian cache! Visited the zoo before quickly grabbing this guy on our way out.
Definitely worth a visit! Very interesting animals!

Woot first Tassie cache find.

Lots of muggle workmen across the road... so I took a great interest in things near the fence, saw the cache and was in and out like Flinn. t4tc

GPS had me standing on the gravel road with no obvious hiding spots within reach. Hmm?? Time to switch to hider mode. No. No. Got ya...TFTC

Great cache, geokid found the clue and away we went! TFTC

Went to the zoo today so decided to grab this cache on the way out. Swampy found the first part of the puzzle and after reading a couple of past logs I found the important bit. This was a great idea, even if very sneaky. Thanks for the cache

Found after TimTam had got the other one close by. Took a little to nut this one and was about to ring a friend when something was spied whilst sitting in the car. Sure enough that hunch proved correct and the cache was in hand quickly.
Thanks for the cache.

Today was the third occasion we had visited this location to look for this cache. In our first attempt we had found the starting point but were not able to convert it into a find of the cache. We made no further progress on our second visit. After spending another 20 minutes today, again without success, we decided in desperation to "call a friend". Budgietas suggested we look more closely at something we had already found. While he chuckled on the other end of the phone, we did as he suggested and the missing link was discovered. As the saying goes "if it had teeth, it would have bitten us". Armed with this advancement we were able to locate the cache and sign the log. The concept of the hide was excellent - we hadn't seen anything like this before. However we did feel very conspicuous whilst searching. We are not sure what the environment was like when the cache was placed but there has been a great deal of clearing and the residents of a nearby house have an excellent view of the entrance. It was on our second visit that someone drove down to the gate as we drove away. We were wondering if the destruction at the Zoo had made the residents more vigilant and hence harder for geocachers to search for the starting point and the cache. The cache was designed to draw attention to the senseless destruction of the birds but we are now wondering if it is making the residents more nervous. TFTC bubbles1971.

What a great cache - certainly tested our powers of deduction, after being questioned by the owner? as to why we were there we thought we needed to move on so resorted to phoning a friend - thanks Budgie. Soon had cache in hand. A very busy spot with cars going past constantly. TFTC

Hi bubbles1971
Today was the second day of a two caching expedition with Budgietas and Cheesy Pigs. Yesterday was fine and just what you want for caching. However, today we woke only to find the weather conditions totally the opposit of yesterday - pouring with rain. Not good for caching and not even good for the ducks!
Yesterday, I left Huonville at 0700hrs, met up with the two other finders and left for Launceston about 0900hrs. Today, left Western Junction round 0645hrs and went for breakfast at Maccas. Cached all day and got back to Huonville on the first of November at 2340hrs. A great trip and I extend my thanks to Budgie and Cheesy for making it a memorable couple of days. Thanks to CraigRat for organising the event on the 31st of October.

This cache was my 27th for the day:
This was a great hide. The weather is now turning on us again, starting to get like it was earlier this morning. Found a cache container quickly but after that we had to magnify our search somewhat to get what we needed. That done, further magnification led us to where we should be. The cache was found, the log signed and container returned to its hide at 1208hrs. Once this was done, it was back in the car to stop getting wet. You get a favourite from me for this brilliant piece of deception. Well done!!
From here it was off to find "Sir Happy Kids."

Day two had me find fifty-one caches, yesterdays caching produced fourty-one finds for me, total of 92 for the entire trip. I got a personal best for finds in a day again today and I think Cheesy set new one again today too.

Thanks for the cache
Cheers OldSaint.

A very Tricky little cache lol. Thanks for the cache

Hi Bubbles 1971

Cruel, so say, inventive others say.

After finding the first container, I took another 30 minutes to find the cache. But success was there in the end, I signed the log at 17.48.

Thanks for the cache.
