Went to the location found a perfect spot for a cache but we could not find anything
TFTC! Found with Kekcode! Sneaky! We searched under the bridge for ages lol
TFTC. We began at the total wrong area and realised it couldn't be in the water. So we changed tactics and climbed the stairs. What a beautiful view for our 100th Find!!!!!
Thanks GoldJ for hiding this cache, I needed a find for today to update my calendar and find streak. This is my find #1515 at 07:22 on 21/4/2024.
this little green dot has sat on our map fpr way too long. today crossing the bridge we decided to go find it. we took the wro g approach first, then re eveluated. katie put her hand straight on it. be gone little green dot
Thought we might have to go into the water for this one! Loved this cache. Thanks
This was tricky as I think it was moved from original spot by a metre or two so we put it closer to navigation point. Thanks for the bridge experience
Took the stairs up, what a great view even saw a rainbow. Found what would be a great hiding spot at GZ, but no cache
Were looking for a while before reading some of the activity and realising we were on the complete wrong track. When you think the cache can't be in the water, you are on absolutely the right track. Rethink your approach. A very nice find, quick but challenging, so thank you very much to the creator!
Found a cable for that had been cut on top of location. Checked under bride for half hour and it seems to be lost again
Found quickly this time. Thanks for replacing the cache so quickly.
Went and had a look for previous lost caches but all I found was push bikes, a mattress and a tyre.
Thanks for the cache GoldJ!

I’ve always wanted to walk along this bridge, thanks for giving me the opportunity. TFTC!
Very clever. This one had us very confused to start with. After climbing down the steep bank we thought no way it can be in the water. And then ….. lightbulb moment. Look up.
After searching for ages and the cache showing in the water , the penny dropped. Very clever hide. cheers
So nice to find a cache belonging to a geocacher we've met before in the wild! TFTC Goldj
This one was a little tricky!
Had us in the right spot but a tad low…
Eventually went for a little walk and found it safe and sound!
Wrote in the log and put him back in his hiding hole!
Also grabbed the trackable!

Always wanted to check this bridge out in a bit more detail than flying past at 70kmh! Thanks for the opportunity! Great hide!
3/3 today with Miss3B. We've had a couple of days hanging around both ends of the Bridge now and showing her the expansion gaps when she was asking about the noise. Great opportunity to show her today after searching low and high for this one.

Was mildly confused as the gps lead me directly to this hahah. I soon figured out what was going on. Found the geocache but could not sign as the rust has made it difficult to open- LITS
Ha ha took the low road first..... then climbed the stairs for the find. T4T$
Knowing there were a couple of hides here in my past holiday visits to HBA, i finally drove myself to them this morning and this one was the 2nd find
Found in the 2nd place i looked
SL at 11:44 on Tuesday the 2nd of March 2021.
The cache and contents are in top shape

Last time I looked Left, Right, down and round and round. This time I looked up, up and found!
Had a look for this one a few years ago when I first started caching, but had no idea what I was looking for back then.
Today I had some spare time, and a bit more experience, and made a quick easy find. Was a bit windy at the GZ, but thankfully nothing blew away while signing the log.

Going back across the Bowen Bridge to camp, so what better reason than to try for the hides at each end. Missed the one on the western shore, having overshot the turnoff, so contented ourselves with the eastern side. Thought it was under the bridge, but then realised we would either have to swim and scale, fly or find an alternative route. Their are stairs people for your convenience. TFTC GoldJ
Decided to park on the Western Shore to get a nice solid walk in during lunchtime, thanks Goldj for the exercise. Did my homework before hand so it was a nice easy find and logged quickly with muggles none the wiser. All good at GZ and the hide.
This was a tricky one, a lot of the potential hints were a bum steer but once I got on top of where I needed to be we found it.
Today we are in the area from Old Beach.
Here we wanted to catch some smilies on our map.
This cache was after a short search found and signed.
Thank you and greetings from Germany send Moorhelmi

Thanks for the cache GoldJ. Out and about today with RLD4963 and the GeoGSP. After a nice walk up Goat's Hill earlier in the day, it was decided to try and grab a few caches that didn't require such a big walk. This one has been on my 'to do' list for ages, and as it wasn't blowing a gale today, decided to head to GZ. A nice quick find, with the log quickly signed and cache returned. Cheers.
Tassie Trip Day 108 - Today we decided that it was a quiet day however we needed to collect some caches and some groceries this was a short trip.
This was a quick trip to find it and after parking under the bridge and going the wrong way it was soon realised that it was not where we initially went toward and the cache was soon found it that nice hidden place.
Thanks GoldJ for bring us here.

David and Penelope's Cleburne provided great access to this well positioned cache. A quick visit before Friday's first tennis match. TFTC
When I realised where it was I got lucky there was a break in the traffic. As I signed the log it was busy, busy, busy. Then another break in the traffic allowed me to put it back.
I stopped by for a quick attempt at this one a month ago, but ran out of time to complete it. It did convince me to take my caching to a whole new level though, and this attempt was successful. Who would have thought that such a hiding spot was here? A good pick up GoldJ and TFTC. I added my calling card before replacing as found (as discreetly as possible given the traffic!).
Out on a cold misty morning to get a few new caches which have gone down since our last visit to Tas, TFTC
