Another walking/caching day with a client today, first find for the day. Thanks for bringing me to a spot I've never been to before. Cache in good orderTFTC
Today Zozetta and I went caching at Tinderbox, starting the day at Blackmans Bay for an ftf on a EarthCache, then making our way down to Tinderbox, and then up to Howden. In total we had ten finds and no DNFs.Yes, it does smell a bit. A quick find though.Thanks for the cache Barad Bunch!

Since it is a no go zone for dogs I left the doggins staring at me from the car.
In and back within 5 mins and I saw a couple furry jumpy things on the way.

Great spot for a cache! Thanks for your interps Baradbunch. The Friend of have done a great job and we enjoyed visiting this place.
A nice walk down to this sweet hide [^]
The stump was spotted before i got to the actual cache. It was found and the dry log within was signed at 13:03 on Wednesday the 21st of July 2021.
I saw two birds what looked like parrots with gold colored breast and belly with green on their backs by memory
No Stinky smells were smelt during the walk to and from this cache and the cache actually smelt fresh like the surrounds

Thank you for placing the geocache at this location. I have lived in the area for many years and never knew this beautiful spot was right in my suburb!
Loved the turkeys on the way there.

Today RLD4963 and I headed to the Margate area with the GeoGSP to see if we could find all the new caches that have recently been published in the area. After finding all those fairly quickly we decided to head over to Howden to see if we could find this one. As dogs aren't allowed along this little track, RLD4963 and I had to take turns looking after the GeoGSP in the car whilst we both made our way to GZ.....and yes, it it still stinky and smelly. All is well at GZ.

Found this one today whilst out and about around southern tas a very quick find as it took more time to unwrap the cache to retrieve the log than it did finding the cache. A nice quiet spot for reflection TFTC from the inspectorrexteam
Beautiful cache thank you! Four in one morning on our first day caching as a family!
Thanks for this Pot! Short stop and a nice view! Find with Henry11! Regards from germany...
Tassie Trip Day 76 - Today saw better weather and with the better weather a few more places could be visited. Including a few moderate walks along the way with one not resulting in the prize after a huge effort to make the way to and from GZ.
After arriving at GZ we soon found the smelly pot and made the mark in the log.
Thanks Barad Bunch for bring us here.

After picking up the Goose and getting a coffee we set off to grab some new caches down Margate way, Goose had already found some of these but was happy to call at these while I found them.
We had a good day missing most of the rain and only getting wet for a few minutes at one cache.
This was one of those caches that I had missed in past runs to this area but today with the Goose just coming along for the walk since he had already found it.
The cache was a quick find and very damp, sorry all the spares are in the car
Thanks for the cache.

No stumping us. Found cache easily and logged without any trouble. A pretty little walk. TFTC MattyH from Tassie
TFTC. Easy find on a nice little walk to a view point. The cache was a little soggy
and we forgot a pen!!!

Needed a cache today so took this one on in the dark. Wandered down the track and soon realised I was in Stinkpot Bay as I my sense of smell was enhanced due to the lack of light. After consulting the hint, it was an easy find. TFTC
Wanted to test out the new phone holder on my bike and what better way than ride to a cache.
This one ended up bring a little further away than I expected, but still a really good ride here (although not meant to ride down the short track to the cache).

Weather good (although a little smoke haze). Short walk and the area was smelling pretty good. Located the cache and enjoyed the quietness of the area.

A pleasant walk with an easy cache. Thanks very much - left a car as a swap, removed some rubbish from the container (a broken rubber band and the paper casing from a crayon?!)
The area certainly had a unique smell haha. High quality cache and in a nice spot. TFTC
Travelling around Australia and spending a few months in Tasmania.
We had Dr's appointments in Kingston today but still managed to find a few caches before and after. Managed to dodge any rain today.
No smell or stink today.

It was a quick find helped by the hint, but also by being at the most likely hiding spot.

It had been a long time since we drove around the point from Tinderbox to Howden and were surprised by all the houses, some quite high uphill. One cache took longer than anticipated and we didn’t actually find it either, which caused our plan for the day to be curtailed.

Greetings from Kawana scouts, Sunshine Coast, Queensland. This is certainly the best protected cache I have seen. You must get some serious weather here! TFTC

Just got introduced to Geocaching. This was a neat thing to find so close to our home and never thought to come down here.
Thanks!

Out and about caching with Ninjawolf and LRS
Nice little walk down to this one, contents a little bit damp might need a bit of a tidy up. Left behind a scout. TFTC

Pretty easy find, the cache does need some maintenance though.

A nice walking trail that we didn't know existed. Located GZ at a lovely spot looking out into the bay. Left TB. TFTC
Thanks for bring us to this spot. A totally different aspect of NW Bay. The actual cache is nice and dry although the outers are somewhat moist. We enjoyed our visit. Thanks Barad Bunch for the hide.

We've been through Howden hundreds of times, but have never been down this track. It's a lovely spot! Thanks so much for the cache, which is our 100th! Woo hoo! Swapped a charm for the stamp.
After finding cache number 49, I couldn't return home without hitting the 50 cache milestone. I took the long route home in order to stop by this one. A nice quick find to bring me up to half a century! TFTC!
290 metres return walk (just thought I'd be annoying and calculate the distance ). What a lovely little cove - and it didn't stink in the slightest! It smelled of eucalyptus and salt and sea and mud and grass, although I can't say the same for the cove around the corner. Erk! [xx(]
I love the way the cache was all wrapped up - but what I did not love were the arms embracing the cache. BIG furry, ugly, Huntsman spider arms. Shudders. So I got a very long stick and flicked the cache out of its spot, then flicked it with the stick into a nice clear area and rolled it around (with said stick) to make sure there were no spiders still loving the container. Then, with great trepidation (and quite a lot of bravery, I feel) I opened the cache to discover a nice, uncontaminated by arachnid, cache. Duly logged. Photos taken, then the cache was lobbed from a safe distance back into its spot, and covered with dead ferns because I just could not put my hand in there to cover it how it had been originally (sorry). Thanks for a nice cache and walk. I won't blame you for the HUGE huntsman
