Hi there choppersrule.

This is the 1st of 1 caches we didn't find today. [:(!]

We spent quite some time here at around 11:25:00 AM, but we just couldn't locate your cache. There are no steps any more, and there is a brand new hand-rail at GZ, so we suspect the cache is missing.

Regards
Ian and Penny

As i know longer live in tassie i cannot do any maintenance on this cache as it appears to be missing. Thank you to all who found it.
Choppersrule

No joy for us today. Like the previous finder, we couldn't see the steps. The path looks newish so maybe the council did away with the steps to provide wheelchair access.
Thanks anyway choppersrule and SScharlie.
We will watch future logs and have another crack when we are in the area again.

Looked for a good while, but unsuccessful. Did find a lot of garbage.. Hint didn't help, because there were no steps around.

Sneaky hide. Neat area.TFTC

Nice walk. There was a group of people picking up rubbish...good on them.

TFTC

Nice walk. Tftc. Dropped TB Bandy Legs.

big thank you to sscharile for replacing the log on george he will be happy to see new caches looking for him.
mark

Nice spot

TFTC

Found after a short search - left tb

And we were treated to a seal swimming close today!

Log replaced. Good to go

thank you to sscharlie for replacing the log in the cache.
choppersrule

I cache your reality and substitute my own! TFTC.

May the way of the Hero lead to the cache!

Quick find despite odd looks from the locals. Took TB. Log is wet. TFTC!

Log is wet

Found it in the dark

TFTC nice easy find and dropped a trackable that I picked up from home in QLD. Found with NickyWe

What a busy little area. I decided to take a seat on top of the pipe to wait till the muggles slowed. I even made friends with one red hellar who jumped up next to me whilst waiting for his owner to walk along he foreshore. Eventually signed. Tftc

Was night caching and used the hint. No ducks but I did disturb what I can only describe as a large rat that jumped in and swam after I disturbed him! Maybe daytime with ducks is more fun lol Tftc

Such a great way to spend the day !

Travelling around Australia and spending a few months in Tasmania.

In Low Head again to attend the Leap Day event. Today we had a late start then set about trying to find all our unfound caches in Low Head and George Town.

Rather overcast but the rain stayed away.

Nice relatively quick find by hubby, another good hide! But no duck here today TFTC This is a lovely area and we're enjoying our second day's caching here. The weather is perfect. Also looking forward to the event on Monday evening to meet and thank all the Tassie CO's who have added so much fun to our touring here TFTC

We've now only got four weeks left of our six month stay (til the end of March '16) from the Kurrajong area, (Blue Mountains) NW of Sydney, to tour in the caravan and also visit our kids and grandkids in the Huon Valley On four previous visits before this visit, we were muggles, so we're having fun finding the caches we didn't even know were here!

Had to be super stealthy here. Muggles everywhere!

Ewe found it today

Done.

TFTC! Looked for this another day but too many muggles. Even today had to have two goes at it and say I was looking for some money I had dropped!

A little bit of a scramble and some muggle dodging but all found.
TFTC

Kids loved this one. Gorgeous spot TFTC

Was an easy find

I vaguely remember searching this area for a cache before, cant be 100%. Anyway today George showed himself very quickly. A quick signing on the morning sun. Great to get another choppersrule cache done before you leave for the permanent warm weather, thanks Mark!

No steps anymore! TFTC

tftc had to wait for a few muggles to walk past before attempting this one. I am sure the people approaching form the other side of the river were wondering what I was doing climbing around in there!

No little brown duck came to visit, but fortunately we weren't here very long, thanks to the handy hint and Muggle Hubby who seems to be invincible this morning.

Good spot

Great spot

Finally on our third attempt and with a hint helper we found this cache. Although it was quite easy to find (in hindsight) it really is a muggly area and without the hint we weren't looking in the right spot. But George the Duck was there for our final triumph - both the cache and the feathered variety! TFTC and the extra help Choppersrule.

My second attempt at finding George. Found tonight pretty quickly while admiring the beautiful sunset over the cove.

Have had a go at this one on a previous visit to GT. Found with the assistance of the hint.. thanks..!!

Thought we had better do a few local caches. Found easily.

Found with granddaughter Holly, Great hide, thank you. We had to think like catchers. One of 8 for the day

Honestly, choppersrule give us a hint will you. We thought we knew where it was but nothing looked out of place and even after a fair bit of searching we still couldn't find it (we don't need earth-moving equipment do we?). We had to give up as lots of muggles about walking dogs. Another day...

put new log in the cache today, it had a bit of cache creep, but found it in the end and put back close to where it was as some of the rocks have been moved from the hide. cache is still at the same coordinates .

We spent some time looking for this one but no luck. We are not entirely convinced that it has disappeared either as it may be just a bit tricky. One for another day...

Couldn't find this one. Possibly missing?

George wouldn't come out to play today no matter how many rocks we lifted.

Found by BHBEB and SKENDIT and Rhiennedal.

Found with Hearse068, Zobo04 and Hearse068's geo child. It was a quick trip to tassie to do some sight seeing and geocaching. We had a great time in the 3 days that we had here. Started in Launceston made it to Swansee up to Bicheno, St Helens, Pyenganna, Bridport, George Town and back to Launceston. We found 50 odd caches in our time here and this was one of them. I got this one as a bit slippery for the geo kids. Made a quick find TFTC

Found with Gonefishen07, Zobo04 and my geo son on a quick trip to Tassie to do some sight seeing and some caching. Sent GF07 in to grab this one, I was a bit worried the kids would end up in the drink if we let them get it. We did see two ducks in the distance, no sure if it was George or not. SL TFTC

Found with Gonefishen07, Hears068 and my cuz. We came to tassie for a quick trip. Sightseeing and caching on the menu. We had a great time while here and will hopefully be back soon. Thanks to those that placed caches to make our holiday fun. TFTC

This cache "rocked"!! Hahah came at 8.30pm so George must have been sleeping! TFTC!

No ducks today but a few movements in the water indicating maybe some fish. Had to wait for a few wandering muggles but an otherwise easy find. TFTC

TFTC

Easy find TFTC

Great spot but 9yr old couldn't reach it

Spend time at George Town and Low Head. Enjoyed wander and very interesting about history and sculpture - very impressed me... The weather isn't cold just windy but lovely... Thanks Choppersrule.

Tftc

Great quick find. TFTC

Tftc! We saw George out and about with some friends

No luck today. We looked in all the likely places, but no cache...

Searched for a while but didn't come up with the goods.

Didn't see George it must have been to wet to be out today. TFTC

By George this makes 200. Only taken 5 years. I need to get out more. TFTC

Hi choppersrules
A quick find re the cache; Sainted at 1326hrs; but no finds on the ducks - not even George!
The seagulls on the water are just not the same.
TFTC and cheers
OldSaint.

Zero ducks in evidence but we did have two dogs from the other side of the fence watching with interest our cache dancing & all the usual shenanigins we go through. Took us a bit of poking about this one. Not your usual hide choppersrule!

TB Dip

Took a little to find but we got there.
TFTC
Cheers

Nice easy find but no duck. Thanks choppersrule

Took a little bit to find it, looking on the wrong side, had to read other peoples logs for some help.

Ok time for one more before heading back down south. This one had eluded us last time we were in the area as searching in the dark with no torch was not easy. Being a beautiful afternoon today was different and today the Bear just happened to go straight to it. TFTC.

Found on a three day trip to the beautiful East Tamar area. When we arrived at GZ it was an 'oh dear' which one will it be but with our cacher's luck operating today it was the first one we looked at. Just as well aus2 had eaten all his spinach! Thanks for this cache.

We abandoned this one, wrong time of day to hunt for this, to many muggle kids playing on bridge.

Geowife found this one pretty easy after a heavy lift. TFTC

No ducks around today, but a few seagulls

This one was harder to find than it should've been, must've had rocks in my head. George and his mate swam over for a look as did a couple of toad fish. TFTC

Found the cache. George over the other side of the Lake sleeping.

Easy to find, georg was resting on to other bank, saw swans back towards the boats.

The second cache we grabbed on our walk around George Town. This one took a little longer to find but we eventually got there. A very low tide today and no ducks around.
TFTC Choppersrule

Tftc. Really didnt think any rocks were movable

After a quick scan of the area we decided where we would put a cache here and there it was!! No sign of George today or any of his rellies. Thanks.

A quick find as we watched some kids playing in the water. TFTC

It would have been an easy cache to retrieve
but with the muggles getting their exercise on the walking track.
Thanks.

Great place to take a stroll, TFTC Took TB and pathtag. Don't see many pathtags around ty whitewebs.

Nice one choppersrule. Tftc

Quick find by jennydoug! Sunny but windy today! Tftc SL

A quick find once the walking muggles went past. Left TB and pathtag. TFTC.

A windy and wet day but just perfect for finding George the duck. The coordinates were spot on and the hide was well done but tricky. TFTC

Tricky we were looking on the rock wall! Meet George & his 2 friends. Left a flower bead. Nice and dry after all our rain.

Addicted now! My second one

Found on a blustery winters day no locals about so made a quick find TFTC

Yay my 1st one
