Found

This morning we headed down the Nile to collect a few caches. It was a lovely country drive our favourite sort of Geocaching. All caches were found easily and in great condition. Second find of the morning, TFTC Tassie Trekkers

TFTC!

TFTC. Cache and contents are in excellent shape. My Geosenses left me on this one it took a good 10mins to find.

TFTC. Cool spot, would be good for a swim in summer

Another awesome spot for a swim or a fish, Tftc

Found and left items

Another beautiful spot by the river. Tftc

Nice hide, spotted by beach lady first. TFTC

Checked on a maintenance run through the area, replaced cache container and log book.

Well we are wending our way home after a three day sabatical at Scamander with family. Weather has been kind, even on top of South Sister where the views are fantastic and the bonus was a couple of caches. So now we are taking the scenic route back to the north west via Mathinna, Blessington and Deddington on a bit of a geo trail. Took a bit of zoning in on this one, but got there in the end with no traffic to interrupt the search. Lid of container is cracked, probably damaged by having a stone dropped on it. Everthing very wet as a result. Put back upside down which might keep any more water out for the time being. TFTC TT's.

Got this cache this time around. Nice hide. Cache was in poor condition. A bit wet inside. TFTC

Clever hide. TFTC

Hard to find. Good one with scrambled around for awhile to find it. Found with Angus 88

Found with GeoMaggie2 To be about 5 m out from GZ. Lovely country driving. Found, stamped and replaced, with Maggie and Mollie, my GeoWesties, while roaming around Tasmania with our motorhome “Mylittlebus” looking for content for our TASMANIA ALL OVER facebook. Join us there. Thanks for placing this cache (and others), keeping us on our exploring toes.

Hello Tassie Trekkers thank you for the cache

This was quickily found this time, our second attempt at it.
Found with EeePees during a fantastic weekend away.

Sorry for the late log, trying to cache up a bit.

Cheers, EPs.

Thanks for the cache Tassie Trekkers.
Today was Day 1 of a short trip up north with RLD4963. As the weather was looking good we decided to make our way to Ben Lomond this afternoon. We found this cache on the way - RLD4963 made the find for this one and we soon added our names to the log. Thanks for placing the cache here - we enjoyed our drive around Deddington.

out and about with Lil Rafa caching for the work days. easy find with clues. TFTC TNLN log dry. a new place I have not seen before.

Wow, the water is so clear. Almost wanted to jump in. Clearly the water thinks getting into the cache is a good idea, as the log is wet. The lid is cracked too (I expect the rock has been dropped on it too many times).

Thanks for the drive to here.

Delightful river. Don’t fall in

The river was very full today. A clever hide. As I was typing in my coordinates for the next cache a local pulled up to offer help. He thinks geocaching sounds a bit weird and that a young lady shouldn’t be doing such things on her own.

Had no comms for detail but did thorough search ten metre range from GZ. NO LICK. TFTC

No luck.

Just on another family adventure for the day and thought we would tackle all the catches on the way up the Mt. TYFTC

We saw some amazing deer on the way home was a great day

Out with grandmother finding some Geo cache

This cache marks find 105 for the Fabulist crew

Thank you to the owner of this cache, we pulled over up the road a little and enjoyed the walk over the bridge and listening to the water flow. This one was swimable to.

The crew being Me Mummy, Daddy (SiNr88) Master almost 14 (Blackers1) and when geocache had a glitch and I accidentally logged in using Facebook Miss almost 2 gets (Ozbull)

Awsome place

Touring Tassie in our motorhome and finding some caches along the way with scotjohnos. Today was roaming around the Ben Lomond area. TFTC

TFTC found in our way to Evandale for lunch after going up Ben Lomond with Stopalot

Just realised that if we can find just a few more caches before the new year that 2019 will be our best caching year so far so out and about to find some more before the deadline. A quick find and then a careful extraction. Lovely quiet spot. TFTC

Found thank you for placing and maintaining the cache.

After enjoying a nice early Father's Day lunch at Stonesthrow we decided to go for a bit drive so Team M could reminisce time spent in the area in his younger days. We stopped here and were lucky enough to get phone service. A short search and we had the CIH. SL TFTC Tassie Trekkers.

Tftc added some swag!

I parked near the bridge and the GPS said 20m, so I drove across . The GPS said 20m so I walked back across to make an easy find. TNLN TFTC!

Hello Tassie Trekkers thank you for the cache anyway.

We were on our way back from a car rally, so stopped off to find some of the caches that we didn't find on out last trip up here.

After a bit of a search we gave up.
But now we worked out we were looking at the wrong hint, so I will have to come back for another look.

Didn't find on Saturday, 22 June 2019 at 1703

I think we just messed this one up, as I failed to double check the listing, hint, or previous logs.
We didn't use the correct hint and so probably missed the obvious. It was starting to get dark, and we thought we'd exhausted the likely hides. I'm feeling embarrassed!
It's hopefully still there, so we need to come back another day.
Not found today with AlbyDangles.
Thanks anyway!

I ended up looking in all the wrong places until I spied an oddly placed rock and soon had the cache in hand, signed and then on my way for some more adventuring. TFTC.

Lovely water today TFTC

Checked on a maintenance run - cache is still in place - replaced log book and ziplock bag.

Nice spot next to the river, could of jumped in.


Another good day out in the 4wd for a morning adventure around deddington. I have ridden the road bike along the gravel road over to blessington but have never been way up the back on the gravel road. Some pretty specky spots.

I am currently writing detailed logs because of a challenge provided by Project-GC. "The Author" Badge challenges geocachers to average one hundred words or more in each log. Given that I have found so many GC caches, I have to write many logs with well over 100 words for a long period of time to get my average to the target. Apologies to anyone who finds the logs tedious but it is the only way that I can strive to attain this challenge. After over 5000 plus caches (which includes all cache finds up and including yesterday), the average log length is just over 70 words. I am now entertaining the possibility that I might be able to achieve my task before the end of next year. It's surprising how much is has increase since doing this.

Not there

The hands got a little muddy but a quick easy find.

Hi there Tassie Trekkers.

We found your cache **"Bridging The Nile"** at 1:27:00 PM today. (This brings our total find count to 18530).

The original plan today was to log a random cache some distance from our camp site, and then find a few more caches using the "next closest" method. We then logged "Ben & Back" & thought why not - we will do that instead - - and we had a great day!

We ended up finding a variety of container types and sizes on our journey & found 15 caches (& DNF'd 0).

###Thanks for not placing an eclipse tin or a 200ml Sistema here. Once upon a time caches seemed to be "regular" sized,and well stocked with goodies for kids to swap. Nowadays it seems like every other cache is small and devoid anything to induce children to enjoy the hunt. It made us feel really good to find this cache in a "special" place.###

Thank you for placing this cache here, without geocaching as our guide we would never have found so many interesting places to visit on our nomadic wander around Australia.

**Coordinate Accuracy:** We found the cache around 2m from where the GPS said we should be looking.
**Cache Condition:** The container and log book are in good shape.
**Took:** Nothing.
**Left:** Smiley Badge.

Thanks for the hunt today,

Regards

Ian & Penny.

We had to wait for muggles to move on before we could search. They were stopped on the bridge. We then spent waaaaaaaaaaay too much time looking in all the wrong places over and over and over. it was frustrating but it was a nice area so we persevered and eventually I caught a glimpse of the container in a sneaky place exactly as the hint described. Thank goodness!

Ooooh...close one..love it..tftc

Found cache all ok...in good shape. Another nice location..Tftc Tassie Trekkers...cheers ST.

May the way of the Hero lead to the Trif-... Cache!

I cache your reality and substitute my own! TFTC.

Another tricky find! GPS was bouncing around heaps.

Easy but dangerous

Great Hide TFTC

Some caching on our way to Ben Lomond, Thanks!

Had a good look this cache but I couldn't find it. A bit of flood debris in the area. They was a nice deep pool of crystal clear water under the bridge. It was trying to attempt me to go for a swim. TFTC Dooghan

No luck and I searched everywhere

A quick find on our way up the Nile. It was very green around here - could this be the south's version of the Green Valley of Egypt?

Thanks to Tassie Trekkers and **clear skies** from TeamAstro. [^] Cache the planet!

easy find tftc

Found it. Tftc

Hmm, activity says it has been replaced but no luck here, might not be looking in the right spot. Floods have made a bit of a mess of the place.

On a maintenance run today checked on this one and it was a victim of the floods. Replaced cache ready to be found.

Travelling around Australia and spending a few months in Tasmania.

We missed visiting Ben Lomond when in this area last year so it was on the list before we board the ferry back to the North Island.

Beautiful weather for enjoying the drive in the countryside today.

TFTC Tassie Trekkers

Quick easy find, thanks for bringing us out here there's some lovely scenery along here. TFTC

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 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!

Quick drive by

Found.

Thanks for the Cache Tassie Trekers and bringing us to this location.

Miles from nowhere with pleasant river views. Ventured down to quench the thirst.. thanks..!!

Just found. If the same type of container was used for Deddington Plains cache then we're sure we found that too as logged. Traveling here we saw no other cars since being here searching about 10 have passed by TFTC

Out on a night cache hunt, quick find with just the phone GPS and no internet access for description or hints.. Quick find.

We stopped to look at the river before finding the cache and about ten four wheel drives with interstate regos crossed the bridge while we were standing there and everyone waved. You always seem to encounter friendly drivers when you are on country back roads. Thanks for the cache.

Tftc

TFTC out for a spot of night geocaching.

Found a number of Tassie Trekkers caches in these parts a while back. Taken us 18 months to get back for more. Plus we left it a bit late for an afternoon jaunt from L'ton so it's now starting to get dark. Will we make the distance back to Evandale? Could use a bit of that "dashboard light" from our previous find here. 'Tis a nice stream though, even in this failing light.

I swear the geomobile has a find me sticker on it! Nearly muggled at every cache today!! Even the one on Ben Lomond summit. TFTC

I just can't believe it! Got out of car to look for cache. And muggles go by. In the middle of now where?
Found cache. Beautiful spot. Saw a trout in river

Found it!

Gotcha !!! TFTC

A quick find that took us to an area we had never visited before. A car came past as we were logging the cache but hopefully they thought we were standing in the rain looking at the rapid river flow!!
Thanks.

River raging today. Enjoying my drive. TFTC.

Tftc Tassie what a great place to cache thanks

Seemed to be a good bit of water flowing down the river. Neat spot - thanks for the cacher, TT's.

Found with Bedmaker while back home for holidays.

Found with TassieGirl13 while down from Queensland on holidays.
We’re enjoying our tour through the countryside here on our way home after visiting Ben Lomond today.
We couldn’t get over how clear the water was in this little creek.
If the water wasn’t so cold it would have been great to hop in.
