Will you marry me? Port Arthur, Tasmania, Australia

I am regretfully archiving this cache since unfortunately there has been no action to restore it, or any communication from the cache owner, scottymyth, requesting additional time.

An ample opportunity has been provided for the Cache Owner to respond, but since this opportunity has been ignored, I can only conclude that the cache has been abandoned.

Caches archived under these circumstances are unable to be Unarchived, and this location is now available for the placement of a new cache, by somebody else.

Beautiful spot for a quick pull up and grab
Log was soggy
Thank you so much for this hide

##Cache Maintenance Required please.##
This geocache has been brought to my attention as being in need of an owner maintenance visit, to address the issue described in the logs.
The cache owner needs to either fix the problem or archive the listing, after picking up any geo-litter. In the meantime, I've temporarily disabled the cache page.
See the maintenance section of the [Geocache Hiding Guidelines](https://www.geocaching.com/play/guidelines?expand=1#cachemaintenance).

If there is a good reason for a delay in enabling this cache, please post an update note log here on the cache page so that everyone will know what's going on.
When the maintenance is completed, you can re-enable the listing by entering an "Enable Listing" log, and then post an "Owner Maintenance" log to clear the "Needs Maintenance" attribute, if set.

I will check back in 30 days to be sure that the maintenance has been done, or that further information has been provided.

If there has been no action to repair the cache, or explain the situation, unfortunately I will need to Archive this cache. Caches archived because of lack of maintenance will not be unarchived.

The Geocaching Community needs to have a degree of certainty that a cache is out there to be found, and the CO has a responsibility to maintain their caches.

Thank you

Site is overgrown and waterlogged. Broken glass and dead birds found during search. Disturbed possible animal burrow sites in search

Took us a while, buried under vegetation but GPS coordinates are accurate, very small.

No luck.

A DNF for us today.

No luck with this one today. TFTH

Very romantic, tftc

Good idea, tftc !

Since Friday, 14 May this year, it was good to be back here on the picturesque Tasman Peninsula to do some Geocaching, Hiking and general exercise and to just plain get out and about and enjoy this lovely state.
This one i didn't find back on 14 May, was in my sights to try to find again.

After a nice bite to eat at a Cafe near Port Arthur, i drove to this one and parked near on GZ. Used the GeoMobile to cover me a bit as i had a poke around.

In hindsight; i didn't need to be down on the beach which was at high tide coz the cache was found without the need to drop down that 1m in order to find it

Once found and log signed [at 12:50 on Sat 31/7/21] that popular ABBA song with it's title repeated 5 times, came to mind here ha ha

(As for that raincheck i made on Friday 14 May when i DNF'd this one?
It 'somehow mysteriously' expired on Friday 30 July 2021 )

The cache and contents are in great shape

No luck today

[Friday 14 May 2021 @ 12:05]

No luck for the wee blue birdy here today as i noticed loads of seaweed all along the small cliff face from road level down to the water level and i f the hide is in there somewhere i will wait till the forces of nature move it
(I didn't wanna make it look like i was picking their beach apart in an effort to find it, so i will leave this one for now)

{I'll take a rain-check on the 'proposal' hee hee }

Tricky little spot. What a view! Island of the dead out there. Too wet to sign. Tftc

Found. But too wet to sign.

Congratulations paper is wet. Thanks

Took a while but our first find.

Our first interstate find! Beautiful location. Container still in good condition. Thank you!

Enroute to further south on a mission. Nice spot to stop and imagine the locals do have a great view. Soggy day tad soggy log and tried to make a mark. TFTC

Log is a little moist, congratulations on the engagement

Check

After a day out with my tribe exploring the area we were heading for home but I remembered we still had this one cache to stop for. Pulling up at GZ we all enjoyed the view for a while and then I set off to find the cache. It didn’t take long to discover the tiny beasty. With scribble left on the log all was replaced as found.

Such a romantic gesture!
Happy to part with a FP for this cache

Thanks for the smiley scottymyth

A lovely hidden spot. Cache was rather wet.

found on the 30th Oct. log is wet but I was able to sign just. this wld be a good spot to use water proof paper.

Lovely spot and very romantic location. Log damp but able to sign. TFTC

??????????????????????????????????????????

TFTC grey rainy day, atmospheric on the beach, fun tyre swing

Quick and easy find with accurate coords.
In no way is this a small though - it should be marked as a Micro.

TFTC

Love this place

Clever hide, beautiful spot. Congrats on the engagement

A lovely spot

We found this one today, a easy first ever find

Had to have a good look before I found it. Beautiful spot.

gridge98 decided he wanted to go for an overnight trip to hobart and collect a few caches and also head down to port arthur to collect the old virtual. I was keen for a drive to get some hours up for my Ls and to find a few caches along the way. A great trip away and some cool sights seen.
Apologies for the generic log.
TFTC

Stopped by here for a nice and easy find, such a lovely spot.

Today JLROCKSTAR and I set off early from Hobart to the Tasman peninsula to find some caches for the day before having to return back to Launceston for some commitments. Overall 28 finds for the day.

TFTC

This took at least three times around before I finally spotted the cache. Then I got rained on heavily.

All good to go here! Maintenance check!!

Cache gone

Searched high and low - even came back for a second look.

Nice find

Quick park and grab on a geochaching drive with sister Roadie.TFTC

Yes

??

With a proposal like this I am sure you’ll be still happily married after 8 years.

It’s funny, just shortly ago I said to S_38 that if it was me ever having to propose (never gonna happen), I was exactly as what you actually did!

TFTC

Nice peaceful bay. Easy find with Lekker_Ding. Thanks and congratulations scottymyth

Found it during our travel in Australia.
Our first day in Tasmania.
Emotional cache. Congrats.
Thanks for hide.

Suscoe was wandering the roads of the Tasman Peninsular today.
It was a lovely day with some drizzly rain in the morning, some sunshine as well and a solid South Easterly wind.
The roads were quiet down here today which made the wandering quite pleasant.
We did a lap and a bit which showed us the range of the countryside from farm lands to bushland and everything inbetween, we were also amazed at the number of homes located around the delightful bays.

Thanks to scottymyth for this hide and great location.

Nice story behind and a nice place! We had some fun with the tyre swing there.
tftc!

Nice playground nearby GZ. TFTC

During our roadtrip through Tasmania I found this cache "Will you marry me?" from scottymyth on 16 februari 2020 15:19.

Groetjes/Greetings and TFTC from a Dutchman (a long way from home, but home is here the heart is, on the bus)

TFTC, great "cache by the ocean" (sing it!)

Found it while on my way to Port Arthur Ghost Tour.

Found during my cruise ship visit.

Quick find and drive the. TFTC

Quick find tftc

Left new piece of paper

Very easy find. Was lying there completely unhidden! TFTC

thanks for the cache scottymyth, and also thanks for membsec for maintaining the cache.

today, RLD4963 and I went for a drive on the peninsula whilst my son and his girlfriend were visiting the Port Arthur Historic sitre.

This one was a DNF for me at the end of March last year, so I was keen to turn this one into a smiley today, and it was our first stop for the day. Today it was a nice quick find, so I'm glad to turn this blue sad face into a yellow smiley face.

And, it's been quite a few years since the event, but many congratulations on your successful proposal.

Still continuing our Tasmanian holidays and now in Port Arthur. Got up this morning very early to hear the gale force winds. But nothing was going to stop my usual early morning caching run, so at 6.30 am I was already out and about.

Driving towards the Remarkable Cave, I slowed at this point to look for a good parking place. On the return trip I was able to park right at GZ, and made a quick find because it was completely uncovered.

Lovely idea for a proposal and I am happy to say I was asked to help arrange the same. GC80QZ9. In that case, she got the FTF Engagement Ring prise.

Thanks for the cache Scotty Myth

This is a nice spot which I hadn't been to before. Quite serene. I found the cache without issue. I hope the marriage is going well!

TFTC!

Just syncing my records with my husbands (CarlosCZ) ????

Found with ID, proper log later, tftc!

Visiting with TBs!

Visiting with TBs!

I was so happy with what I saw when we arrived. The tyre swing had my name all over it but first I had to find the cache. With the signing duties done I hit the beach.

Naturally I wanted to jump on and swing before asking any questions but that little voice in my head told me to slow down (that little voice was my wife). Test the rope first. Make sure you aren’t too heavy. Make sure your life insurance is up to date. Nag Nag! tftc

TFTC....managed to lose our pen after signing this one, ending our caching for the day...

Took longer than I thought but eventually found it. I’m sure any muggles would wonder what I was doing but tried to be discreet

Had to remove a snail who thought it was food. Tftf

Tasmania Day 2: Maria Island and the Tasman Peninsula

Today’s jam-packed agenda saw us heading to Maria Island to marvel at some cliffs and wombats, before heading south towards the Tasman Peninsula to take in the geological wonders of the area. Today’s journey showed us how dramatic Tasmania is in terms of its sheer mountains and how the forces of man and nature have shaped the unique history of this place. Thanks for all the caches placed by the various owners that highlighted the wonders of this gem of an island!

This is the specific log for this cache:
A sweet expression in a very beautiful place! Stopped by here for this cache and for some more lovely views. Hope the love is still going strong if not stronger. TFTC!

Another great day in Tasmania with some found geocaches. There was also a ghost at the Remarkable Cave and Mount Wellington. On the way there was still some bycatch. Thank you for the caches !

On a beautiful day, I spend some time searching for caches. This was one that I could find. T4T$!

Tftc s beautiful spot

Can easy quick cache in this picturesque place, thanks scottymyth

Found with MummyPenny on this drizzly day as we cruised around, enjoying the sights and making a few finds. Thanks scottymyth.

Hello scottymyth thank you for the cache.

I had been to have a look for this cache many months ago but with a group of muggles sitting across the road I didn't look too hard.
Today knowing the cache had been replaced and having a previous finder with me and I thought it would be a very quick easy find.
The car was parked to give some visual protection from any potential muggles across the road and I got out knowing where to look for a quick find.
There was nothing there, as I continued to search EeePees came to see why I was taking so long. We both searched for a little while before I jumped down onto the sand to see if it had fallen down. It didn't take too long at all before I said "here it is I've found it". The reply came back "that's not what I found". Upon opening the cache and looking at the logs I noticed that the last log was 29/12/18 by lookawookie. So this must have been the first replacement cache which didn't go missing at all it was just well camouflaged, as lookawookie said in there log.
After a little decision and trying to rind Membsec for advice we decided to put the cache I found back where I had found it and take a few photos so we could show where it was now hiding.
Back in the car we were in the process of making a U turn when I thought I saw something hanging on the picnic table nearby. I got EeePees to turn around an go back to have a look. Yes hanging by a piece of wire from the table was the last replacement cache. We sent a photo off to Membsec asking "is this where it's supposed to be?
Well what to do now? I decided to put the cache with the recent logs in it, that was hanging on the table back where EeePees had found it, and as per Membsec's maintenance log. I then went back onto the beach and collected the older container.
It wasn't too long after leaving GZ for the second time that Membsec returned my call and I told them what we had done.

Thinking about it now I would strongly suggest someone goes and have a look at what I have done with you cache I would hate for it to go missing again.

On a windy but sunny Sunday morning we popped down to Safety Cove for a little cache on the beach. Thanks to all for contributing to this cache. Lovely spot

TFTC, very quick find

Found while kids played at beach.

Awesome spot for it.

A nice quickby on our way back to our accommodation after a visit to the local distillery. SL TFTC scottymyth and congrats.

My daughter loved this story. Cache found out in open. Left where found but covered with some bark. TFTC

Beautiful spot

Nice spot. Worth the walk. Thanks.

A beautiful morning stroll from Poet Arthur- not much space to write - cache was left out have covered with bark

Tftc. No trackable in there. Found cache out in the open. Covered it over again. Foind with divehelen and john&oli

Found this one after visit Port Arthur

Thanks for the cache Greetings from the Netherlands

Tftc

Couldn’t find

One of only 5 caches grabbed today after spending the majority of it visiting the Port Arthur historical site.
Mr Beetle parked the campervan strategically so that the muggles in the house opposite couldn't see us. The cache was then quickly found as the very colourful lid was exposed.
Even on a dull day this was a very nice spot and a great one to ask someone to marry you.
Thanks.

Found

Kids had a great time here while waiting for us. Killing time before our ghost tour at Port Arthur

Found thanks to GO's note on Mother's Day

Hi scottymyth, thanks for the cache, and its accompanying romantic story.
Thanks also to your in-laws for the recent maintenance.
Thanks also to Nataliec1234, whose recent log greatly assisted me, after I'd spent way too long making this way too hard!
As the logsheet is small, I signed it as EPs.

It would be prudent to park in front of the big tree to provide a 'barrier' from the over-the-road neighbours' gaze.

I had to drop off geoSonE at White Beach for a scout camp last night and with a pickup tomorrow, I decided to stay nearby for the weekend to do some caching. 
This morning I cached from Taranna to SaltWater River (Coal Mines). 
I then returned to my Port Arthur cabin and made lunch.
Then it was back to it, caching from Remarkable Cave back to Port Arthur, before dinner.
