thanks to all who found my cache there is to much works going on and no hidding spot good enough to hide this tricky cache so i will take it off line.

going to have to make a new container and i will move it as well to a close by spot watch this space

they have finished the bike/walkway so i will re hide my cache as soon as the weather clears up

went past this one today they are almost done construction of a new track as soon as they have finished i will re hide my cache back there.

we had a bit of a look but as the works are in progress we thought to leave this one for a while and I now notice that you have taken it down for the time being, need an alert when back on

construction done in this spot, can't find.

construction is going on where my cache is so i am taking it offline till its done

Found! The stadium lights were blinding us. Go Hawthorn!

Kids took no time to find this one, they are pleased with themselves.

TFTC!!!!! Nice hiding place

TFTC understand name now.

Tftc

Expecting something a bit larger..!!

Cool little hide, only waited for some cyclists to go by

This was a relatively easy grab as not that many muggles around. TFTC!

T&JP. Lol tftc

I see the resemblance, haha.
TFTC

Came back to launceston to check and re find this one after reporting it missing but claiming a find. Glad to see it back. TFTC. Angus the great GeoWestie assisted by grey nomad Carer Lis Brown en route from Bundaberg Qld to Perth WA via all of Tasmania.

Yay!!! My first Tasmanian cache and its about time! Good hide

Last of three for the afternoon with geo-housemate.

Quick find made for three out of three found!
Due to traffic, I had to accidentally drop my smokes, what a shame.

TFTC!

love it.

Found on the return leg of my riverside geowander. Nice little hide. TFTC!!

took a little while but nice and easy once GZ was identified.

Was literally standing on it

Found it easy. Need to bring a pen though. TFTC!

Damn forgot a pen.

New cache in place same hidding spot

After some to-ing and fro-ing with deep and meaningful emails with the CO, I have permission to claim this as a find. Location visited three times, chache hide identified and missing cache confirmed. If I am back in Launcestion again during my stay, I might be able to come back and lay my hands on it.

seems to have been muggled will look at moving it soon

All Ok TFTC

Tftc with groat45

Easy find with renochick TFTC

Do like the custom geocache container, very resourceful. [^]

First find of 2014!
Went to glebe gardens to get some plants so decided to get this cache as it was right at the gate.
There weren't many muggles around, other than a couple on their bikes, probably still in bed hungover!
My GPSr took FOREVER to connect so I was just searching all over the place. Finally after over 5 minutes it connected and dad suggested where to look, he was right! Nice hiding spot, surprised it hasn't got any favourites. TFTC find # 108

That’s one more find for me! Thanks so much for hiding this geocache.

Lunchtime raid with Team mars4. Slightly misled by the name but soon had the cache in hand. SL TFTC choppersrule

Yay my 80th find! Slipped out at lunch with lizziejj to nab a couple of caches... so dedicated!!! Nice easy find with good co-ords. SL TFTC ★

The GPS wasn't behaving very well when we had a look for this one last weekend and there wasn't a hippo in sight. Will have to go back for a second look soon, especially now Sharnie's tribe have found it and we know it's there somewhere.

Found the hungry hungry hippo on the loose out in the open. Put him back where we thought he belonged and have emailed the CO so they can check in case we got it wrong. TFTC

Lovely hide. Looked for this one months ago with no luck. Laughed when I found it today with my caching eyes open! Tftc SL

A relatively easy find but for future cachers the guardian is still currently in place

With the navigator out for the count with tonsillitis Mr. J had to put on his thinking cap. Reported that he found it easily but met the cache guardian, who he was a little dubious of! We have had a bad encounter with red backs in the past so kids beware! Log was a little damp, dried it a best we could. TFTC! also scored ourselves the 'get outside day' souvenir for finding this one today

Found quickly, trusting in the GPSr. The log was less damp than soggy ...

Great time out with the family. DR JAMES, SMELLY BELLY 8 and JABs Had a lot of fun and it was a very lovely day. Gained lots of fantastic memories and visited some cool places. This was part of my geocaching scouting challenge.

Sorry for my late log, slowly catching up <3

15:10:21 While the kids played on the railing wife did the honours of locating this one in the spot I had pointed out. The dinosaur near by was a little more interesting then any hippo that could be seen.
JABs.

It was a bit to pathy

On a caching trip with the family up north. This is to help my cub scouting challenge we did 50 in one day which is a record for the whole family together.

TFTC. Right under my nose/feet!

Muggles were not a problem on a Sunday night. A quick find was made of this impressive little hide. Thanks.

At first I doubted the coordinates as I thought it couldn't be here unless... and there it was!!!

Partof our Good Friday adventures. Tftc.

Just in the nick of time! The container was out wandering not far from what I guess was its home. Good thing I had seen these before! Thanks for another!

Quick find after a wait for the muggles on bikes to pass. Tftc

A trap for all players

In the obvious place to the geocacher. luckily there werent any muggles about and it was a quick find. Thanks for the cache Choppersule

Quick find, but I was surprised that it was put in here.

Nice easy find FTFC

A quick find, thanks choppersrule. The location became obvious after I checked the area where the GPSr was pointing, some 10m away.

TFTC

#128 - 16:20; The overhead power lines have played havoc with the GPS all day, so using keen geosenses, Bronte14 and I quickly located this one not far from where the GPS took us. The usual residents were absent TFTC.

No hippo today, just a couple of flea bags, some shoppers returning home and a couple of joggers!
Found and replaced the cache at 1629hrs.
TFTC and cheers

Fed the Hippo today. Yes there are two spiders in house. So please be careful. They do run away.

Another quick grab in between cars and pedestrians, SL, TNLN, TFTC

found on a trike ride with my dad T.F.T.C

Found with Bedmaker while visiting down here from Queensland for the holidays.

Found with TassieGirl13 while on holidays from Queensland.
A nice easy one that we drove right up to.
We thought it was very convenient of the local authority to place this here for you.
TFTC.

Tftc. A white spot is sharing the place with the cache

great little hide, rode my trike right up to it and reached down to retrive the cache T.F.T.C

Found while up North with Geo Kid E.

Thanks for the cache

A little difficult to retrieve the container due to the frequent traffic, walkers and cyclists. I had to wait around for quite a while before I could get the "hippo" to give up the goods.

Our GPS was being a little tempremental today and took a while to settle down. Whern it did start to behave consistently, we saw something which was a possibility for the hide. Closer inspection revealed the hippo - obviously not normal hippo size or we would have recognised it earlier (we hope!!). The cache and contents were in good condition. TFTC choppersrule.

Quick find. Tftc

Nice quick find, great container (12th of 20 finds for the afternoon) on our 'We haven't been out in a while, the local caches are building up, quantity not quality' trip! TFTC

Easy find, thank you, the keeper of the cache is also there, possibly a red back sider but didn't get too close to tell

Nice easy fund for iPhone

Had trouble with this one at first, the Garmin was spinning out of control. Once it settled down it was an easy find. Waiting for a break in traffic was the hard part. TFTC

Great hide close to the city. We have walked and cycled past here a few times recently. Thanks Choppers rule. TNLN TFTC.

Woo Hoo *FTF* @ 07:50hrs. Woke up to find 3 new caches published, no time for breakfast, straight up and out the door. Arrived at GZ - too early for said Hippo but made a quick find before a couple of cycling muggles zoomed by. TFTC

An easy straightforward find. TFTC
