Cache 1000 Wattle Corner, Tasmania, Australia
By cameroncarpet on 29-Dec-12. Waypoint GC43FYZ

Campsite is currently closed for tree assessment following the recent storms. Thankfully though still able to access for this cache. Nice placement and great to score another find over 1000m. TFTC

Merging my accounts. Found this as "Ambers007" on 17/05/2013. Now tracking together with "Hoterini" and merging the old finds.

25 June 2024 12:11.Stopped here to have lunch after signing Big Ben.A wonderful shelter which we enjoyed having lunch in as it started to rain. As if it was a miracle, the rain stopped as we finished lunch, so back in the car as there was more caching to be done.Thank you cameroncarpet.

25 June 2024 11:15amOn day one of our honeymoon in Tasnania, catnap777 and I made our way up this hill via Launceston to see if we could visit Big Ben. We had no drama driving up far enough to find the "old school" cache placed in 2003, and a little further to join the "kilometer high" club by finding this one. Being mid ski season though, with no swow chains aboard, we has to turn our rig back from here before reaching Jacobs Ladder. Driving up this road we now have two very cool caches ticked off our bucket list, but seeing the summit of Ben Lamond one day is still a high priority for both of us. [^]TFTC cameroncarpet.

TFTC. Cache and contents are in excellent condition. Im coming back for a camp Ill bring my own firewood though

Big thanks to cameroncarpet for creating this cache! Your effort brought an extra spark of excitement to our geocaching quest. This discovery was find number 1,107 for us, marking another memorable moment in our adventure. Living and traveling full-time across Australia in our Coaster Bus, we're always on the lookout for caches to uncover. Currently, we're in Tasmania, planning to explore this beautiful island for around 18 months or so. To see more of our travels, [feel free to follow our journey here https://linktr.ee/SalandAnth

Great view! Stayed up at this campsite to ride up the mountain the next day. Thanks for the cache!

Camping up here, in preparation for my son A_Gull to ride in a bicycle race up the road from Blessington to the top of Ben Lomond in the morning. A look at the app showed there was a cache just a few metres away, so we went to look for it, after checking the glorious view from the lookout. All good at GZTFTC

Yay

Thanks for a little stop over kids had fun swapping a goodie

We stopped here on the way up the hill for this cache and decided it would be a good place for lunch. The GPSr was playing up a but, replaced the batteries and it did a little better. The cache is in good condition.Thanks for the hide cameroncarpet.

First cache we found on our honeymoon. Great place to stretch the legsTftc

Walked up Legges Tor then stopped here for a picnic. A very friendly currawong wanted to share. Tftc

Thanks . After driving to the top in heavy fog and hardly being able to see a thing I called in here on the way down for a quick find.

We continued today our tour in Tasmania, AUS, and thereby searched, found and logged this interesting Traditional-Cache.

The weather was - said in one word – simply best. The good hidden caches and the being on holidays kept us the whole day in a good mood.

The cache had good coordinates, and thus was easy to find. The logbook was okay, and allowed easy logging.

Thanks to cameroncarpet for the generation of this nice cache Cache 1000 (with the proper agenda), for leading us here and for showing us this funny location as well as the ongoing maintenance of this cache.

PS: Please forgive us the uniform log which is needed due to timing problems - if necessary special actions and happenings are there described where they appeared.

Greetings from Germany together with the hope to meet somewhere like event or wood.

Over the long weekend xxDouDouxx and I made a plan to knock off several challenge caches including caches from "Old School Challenge" GC44WV0 and "Tasmanian Mainland LGA Challenge" GC8CGMX, as well as a few caches for various statistic grids. I'm happy to say LGA is now complete and Old School is well on the way. A fantastic, busy, and adventure filled 3 days was had, covering 1500km from Huonville, to Ben Lomond, then Georgetown, across the top to Burnie, down through Waratah, Queenstown, and back to Huonville. Lots of great caches, new places to explore, fantastic views, and interesting locations...

What an awesome little campsite. It would be great to stay here. No time to continue on to the village today so I may be back in the future. Thanks for hiding a cache here

We wondered down the campground and figured there had to a cache here…. Beautiful spot on a super beautiful day! Thanks!

Easy find. TFTC

Had a dnf last time here many moons ago.
How I missed it is beyond me.
Cache is in good nick.....many tftc....much appreciated....cheers ST.

Stopped for a coffee. Bonus - there is a cache! TFTC

Yep

Beautiful spot TFTC

We were not with other group.
GPS on phone seemed to act up a bit
Cache good, although feels a bit damp

Found this cache on the way up to "Bens View" Earth Cache which was the aim for today. What a great place for a cache bringing me to this lookout.

TFTC

Cool place

Easy find gps was bad at the start

Easy

Even after finding over 900 I still approach and make silly simple assumptions that turn out to lead me astray. The answer is to walk away and follow the compass. TNLN TFTC!

Did someone say leaches? That was almost enough to make me flee. Enjoying cool mountain breezes on a warm day so hopefully am safe from the little squirmy things

Hello, We found your cache on day #11 of our Lap year trip.
Selling up our hobby farm in South Gippsland and putting everything in storage we are now living on the road full time in our caravan and ‘doing a lap’.
Sorry for the generic log, time, data and reception are all factors in the decision to use a copy and paste log, we will always endeavour to leave a photo or two with each log and always leave a favourite point and unique comment(S) where applicable for the truly outstanding caches.
Earth, Virtual, letterbox handmade and Gadget caches are always at the top of the list for us to find.
Thank you for being one of the CO’s who supplied us with a cache to find today.
Cache in good condition.

Thanks for the cache cameroncarpet.
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. Although I've been up Ben Lomond a few times, I did not know this little camping and picnic area was here - nice spot. There were some people having a barbie in the picnic hut but they took no notice of us - a short search and we added our names to the log.

out and about with Lil Rafa caching for the work days. easy find with clues. TFTC TNLN log dry.

Nice find

Out with Chelleid and Kara05 heading to the top for lunch. Good hide ‍

Nice view at the lookout.

Great lookout, the weather cleared just enough to get a view. This is also when we realised a couple of leeches had attached themselves to us.

Awesome

Found this one while ofln a day trip to the mountain, really enjoyed the view near it. Thanks for a good cache

Found it! Full log to follow.

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

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

TFTC great day going up Ben Lomond. Touring with Stopalot

On the way to the summit we found this Cache. Thnak you.

A day out visiting the Ben Lomond area sightseeing and caching.
A few muggles about but managed to wait them out.

Snow around in places today. My hands are cold but the views are wonderful. Cool log book!

Found this one whilst camping here for the night. A super spot to camp with a lot of wildlife. TFTC!
Cheers,
The Hancock Clan

Chilly! Chilly! But what a fabulous view and some history as well. Great spot for a camp. TFTC

I came here before but had no luck with JLrockstar, back again today and with the new co ords nettieknows made the find.

Out for the morning with nettieknows to collect the few new caches outs of Launceston and a few other ones at Ben Lomond. All together 8 finds for the morning.

TFTC

Came to Ben Lomond for a short trip whilst waiting for some work to be done in Launceston. First time visit for Roadie1 and 40 something years since I had been here.
Fantastic camping spot.
Thanks cameroncarpet.

Great little find on the way up Ben. Thanks for the cache.

Would have been a DNF if not for goose having better coords from a past finder, added our names to the logbook with a big smile on our faces.

Spot was busy which was a surprise but people must come here for other things than caching

thanks for the cache.

I had different coordinates to my companions. Stainless steel rat and 1toolman had the phones but I had the real GPS here and we kept disagreeing as the where GZ was. I had updated coordinates provided by Sirius Tas (thanks mate) and when we focused on mine we did find GZ. I'm glad we took the time to read some old logs and note the better coordinates otherwise we would have added to the string of DNFs before us.
Just noticed that many other finders noted the better coords in their logs, right back to Swampy.
Thanks cameroncarpet

Updated co-ords had Goose dead on, well hidden and wow what stunning spot !
Campers and photographers hanging around today and it was a little damp. Thanks for placing this as im out and about with the Rat and Goose for a caching weekend.

DNF 24/2/19

Searched all around for this at both sets of co ords but couldn’t find anything under any rocks or in anything. Hopefully there for another day.

Not found since july

Couldn’t find this one. Great stop though

Found on our way home from Rovers Ski Logde - no skiing this weekend so thought a good chance to go searching - very prickly bushes

Nice day for a drive up Ben & a few geocaches today so we set off for these. This was easy & rewarded us with a nice view aswell:) tftc

Found. Good spot. Nice views

First stop in Ben Lomand NP and after minutes of ineffective searching I had the great idea to read the cache listing - that makes things easier ! Then the box was found within seconds and the log could be signed .

TFTC

Another fabulous day in beautiful Tasmania - lots of driving through forests; walking up and down dales and of course caching.
This was #4 of 8 finds. A quick find using the new coordinates. Pa had contemplated camping here but we are already running out of time. Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for us to enjoy cameroncarpet. Signed log and returned the little fellow to his hidey hole.

Once we read a few previous logs and updated out coordinates we found the cache quite quickly.
Thanks cameroncarpet

Hi there cameroncarpet.

We found your cache **"Cache 1000"** at 11:15:00 AM today. (This brings our total find count to 18526).

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).

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.

Searched for 20min but couldn't see the updated coords...can't understand why CO can't update them, as obviously way out. Will come back to do the caches up on top and have another go at this one. Nice spot though...cheers ST.

Updated coords are...
S41 30.128 E147 36.835

Nice location, relatively easy find

TFTC!
Found it with
4th Launceston Venturer unit after spending the weekend staying in the Carr Villa hut.

Found as snow was falling

My job takes me to some awesome places so when I get a chance to grab a cache I do so.

A great location to grab a bite as well.

This cache was hunted, tagged and released by activehunters tftc.

Had to use the compass with the new coordinates to find this one . TFTC

Took a long time.
Tftv

Nice hide tftc!!used updates cords

Forgot to log this cache last year. Could not remember when I signed the log. So I was in area on the 13-03-17 again and looked it up. I thought the dirt mound was man made. I was surprised to find out otherwise. TFTC Dooghan

A high altitude find with Astro during his visit from SA, cool!
Many thanks cameroncarpet from the Wacky one

I have attached some new coordinates.

I was a good 22m away from this one and possibly would not have found this without the coords posted in previous logs.

A brilliant view over the glacial U shaped planes.

Thanks to cameroncarpet and *clear skies* from TeamAstro. Cache the planet!

Phone died before I could input the 'updated coordinates', but cacher's intuition kicked in & soon had CIH. SL & left 2x TB to enjoy the serenity. TFTC!

Track down updated Co-ords..all good then..TFTC..

We looked around no luck. Went back over past logs and used coords previously logged and found it with Climbing Son. TFTC

Easy to find with new coordinates tftc

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 cameroncarpet

Found, but not at the listed co-ords. Check the logs for correct co-ords. Took TB

no find

Left the geo van at Griffin Reserve and went for a drive, found our selves in this beautiful area. Thanks to all the tassy cachers for hiding caches for us to find.
This one on the way to Ben Lomond gave us an opportunity for a coffee and cache break. Thanks Cameron carpet for the hide. You should, however, update your cords according to other finds. Took TB, Left TB

Found after reading logs with updated co-ords
Dropped off Slug TB

Reading the 1st paragraph makes it easy to find. Although I'm surprised my brain worked,it's freezing up there!!! TFTC

As with others before us, we operated on the adjusted coords, though for some strange reason they still led us somewhat astray. Once the "found it" call came though, it was still well within the ambit of GPS accuracy. We had a brief thought that at 1000m this may be our highest find to date but it turns out it fell just 78m short. [Blue]Find # 1961. Thanks for the cache cameroncarpet TNLN.[/Blue]

Took qay longer than it should have read the discrption helps

Thanks for a great cache

#1803 - well serendipity rules. Found by B but just as he was about to commence searching along walks down Paul H who we last saw descending the road into Corinna a week ago. It does help being on brightly coloured bicycles, but....that's serendipity for you. All part of the fun and challenges on our AroundOz bicycle tour. Many thanks to cameroncarpet for establishing and maintaining this memorable cache. We tried to find it on our ride up to no avail then checked the logs and used new co-ordinates to locate on our return. Yep, there it is as it should be at the replacement co-ordinates which should be updated by the CO. Worthy of a favourite point because we cameacross Paul H there by absolute accident.
