Thanks Choppersrule for this great cache and for bringing us to this lovely part of Launceston.
Heading from Scottsdale to Norwood with the van, stopped and picked up a few caches on the way. Camped nearby, so thought we would up the smileys by finding a few local caches.
Getting close to happy hour, so we make this our last search. Luckily, we found fairly quickly. Thanks choppersrule.

Travelling around Australia and spending a few months in Tasmania.
Finally feeling well enough to cache, Mr Felix declared today was to be a full days caching!
So lunch packed and off we went! Some interesting suburban spots that we wouldn't normally have ventured into without Geocaching.
Took a while to find this one as it is a few metres out. Some hints gained from reading prev logs.
Looking forward to meeting local cachers at the Event on 17th October.

Quick find in the dark.. Been here all my life and didn't know about all these tracks around the reserve.

Good climb to the top from Punchbowl car-park, good hide. On quick holiday from NSW so looking for quick finds, impatient family [Time to Find: 20 min]
Found while down here on holidays from Queensland visiting the Tassie in-laws over the Christmas period.
A quick find for me while in the area doing the other nearby caches.
All was good with this one.

Took a bit of hunting, the GPS had us a good 5-8m away but after I stood back and thought 'where would I hide one in this area' we soon had it in hand.
Not a bad spot for a stroll, a quick deviation and this cache was mine. Left a swap and signed the log. Tftc.

After searching in the wrong area decided to go searching a bit farther afield with success. TNLNSL TFTC

TFTC my second try at this one. Left a gemstone,took a goat. One White warrior only.
Found with fellow hawk while waiting for the Hawks bulldogs game, go the hawks was yelled by passerbys so very hapy with that.
Gotchya just as it began to drizzle. Note to self high heel boots on a step slippery path don't go together! Got thru unscathed.... luckily TFTC chopperules
Invited along with other geocachers on my first geocaching session, this was my first cache discovery experience. TFTC!
Found this one quite a while ago but forgot to log it. Log book very wet and needs replacing. TNLN. TFTC!
#1367 - 20:50; Back in Launceston on the back half of our Tassie visit. The weather is damp, but much cooler than it has been, which helps to keep the muggles at bay! Thisd was the last cache for the evening on a run through the Punchbowl reserve. Again the iPhone was all over the shop, so let the geosenses take over and soon made GZ for a quick find in the semi darkness. TFTC choppersrule 
I think I only found remains of a muggled site. Expander filler on the ground. Need to be checked. I think that's two in a row been muggled down here.
Out caching Dad does not have a phone like Mums and has to log later. We all had fun.
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.

<3Found on our geocaching scouts challenge. Was a fun day out with the family JABs pE and Dr J. We sore lots of different areas and lots of different types of caches. 
24 August 2013 16:08:19 Parked top side and was a short walk down and across. This is one of the best parkland areas I have seen for a while with plenty for every body. Thanks for all the caches through out.

Ducked out to get this one as part of 31 day of geocaching (getting desperate and have started rationing caches 
) Thanks for bringing me here though, it was good to get out and have a good walk. TFTC

After a quick feed of hot chips, the Gems made our way of the steep hill to the cache. We startled a couple of wallabies on the way, then headed over to the MOP, led by Moonruby for a quick find.
The descent was much quicker, and there was a short playground session before the next sun shower forced us back to the car and onto the next cache. TFTC

thought we found it but turned out to be rubbish then we found it properly :p
A quick find in a park where we've found caches before. Really like this quiet area in the middle of town. TFTC
Parking for this one proved to be quite a problem as there was a funeral nearby. From the number of firetrucks and fire service vehicles we assume it was one of their own. Mr B stayed in the car waiting for a spot to park while Mrs B started the search. GPS was sending me to the obvious spot but after about 15 mins of scratching around Mr B came to help and virtually found it straight away. Don't you hate that. Mind you it was about 10 m from the location the GPS was giving. Thanks.
What a hike. Gorgeous autumn morning. GPS was all over the place but put on the geo brain and found soon after. TFTC. Took 1 soldier. Left 2.
Came down from the top then followed the trail in for the nice easy find. Someone had left a big swap behind - too big to fit in container! Thanks choppersrule.
Nice hide Chopper! Great spot with a nice view. Swaped army men, left the brownish one and took the red one. TFTC!
