Gone

Out here with the family, for some abseiling at Gordon Dam. The weather was a "typical Tassie day", wind, rain, sleet and sunny all in one day. Abseiling was fantastic. We stopped on the way out using the shelter for a late lunch. 3 sets of eyes could not find the cache. After looking at the hint we believe we had found the correct area and the likely spot but no cache. Lovely place so thanks for making us spot here.

This geocacher reported that the cache might be missing.

Wow, stunning area. Thanks for guiding us here with the cache!

It was interesting to read the story in the shelter here about how this place got its name.
It was late in the afternoon when we arrived and quite a few had set up camp here but we decided to head back to the boat ramp where the camping was free. Happy hour looking out over Lake Peddar on such a gorgeous day was one of the highlights of our trip to the area.
Strategically parked the campervan near GZ while we grabbed this cache.
Thanks.

Fantastic useful hint!! We found the cache despite not having any net for our phones!!! Tftc AND the hint

Found after setting up the tent for a windy night.
Thank you for the cache Tassie Trekkers.
Cheers TLC

nice one

Nice pit stop in this beautiful region. TFTC!

Visiting Tassie from Darwin NT. Went for drive to the South West to show the kids where we had done some walking many years ago. Searched for some Geocaches as we went. Great weather made the scenery superb. 5th find for the afternoon. TFTC

Easy one! Taught the kids what a tea tree is !

Log and cache contents very wet. Put a new book in a new ziploc bag but CO might need to do some maintenence. Beautiful sunny day at a picturesque spot. Tftc

Get spot to stop

Found it at 11:55am. FTFC

Quick find while hubby went fishing

What a great place to camp (if one was into camping). Drove to Strathgordon today to check out the lakes. Pedder is beautiful.
The cache isn't so great! There was some water in it and the log book, although in a ziplock bag, was soaking wet. Tipped out the water and replaced the cache in an upright position as it was lying down when found thus allowing a greater chance for water to get in through the lid.

TFTC Probably wouldn't have checked out Ted's Beach if it hadn't been for your cache, so hanks also for showing us this great little spot.

Replaced ziplock bag.

Yay

Easily found thanks to the good hint. Cache and log book are very wet. TFTC

Great fishing spot a local had caught a nice sized Brown Trout. This area is so Ruggedly Beautiful. Easy find thanks for bringing us here. TFTC

One last stop while in the area. The ground around GZ was very wet after the rains overnight, but the cache was all good.

TFTC!

Geohubby "Willbert7074" found this one while I went for a little explore along the gorgeous little beach! Tftc

After driving into the car park I had manager to park right on top of gz. A nice quick find Tftc

As the National Park was closed for 3/4, I decided to drive to the end of the road. Here the beauty of the area starts. Thanks for showing!

All's good with the cache. Cute little mushrooms near the cache site too; TFTC

TFTC what a lovely place

Pretty hot day, nearly jumped in for a swim at Teds beach today. Thankfully it was a quick find.

Cheers

Success after a few dnf's. Tftc. Stayed overnight.

Left the geo van at Left of Field and went west exploring - as we do, and caching along the way. A beautiful day, promising to be around 20 degrees, 10% chance of a shower. We took our chances - and a bbq lunch!

Need to stop here, the toilets beckoned, along with the promise of a fairly remote cache. The ranger was cleaning the bbq's the toilets were clean, and we parked across the access to GZ. I found the hide quite quickly despite walking into water. NOTE: do not go beyond he hint!

Geohub returned from the toilets, I pointed out the hide, we signed, returned, and continued on our way. Thanks Tassie Trekkers for a great location.

Tassie Trekkers some time ago I had driven into the car park to find this cache but it was occupied by campers. Today there was no one around so I made a quick find before exploring the beach.

Strathgordon in June – magnificent! Although the temperate was low 8° today there was no wind and it was very pleasant searching for the caches in this area. The sentinels were wonderfully colourful and partly obscured with mist as were the other mountains and the green reflections in the lakes were quite different to those of you see in the summer months. We only saw one other car on the road from Maydena to the Lake Pedder Chalet but there were three cars at the Gordon Dam.

Ted’s Beach is a favourite spot and after visiting the dam we returned here for lunch where another couple of visitors from northern NSW were also having a cuppa. We conversed with them for a while and once they had departed a quick and easy find was made. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks for placing the cache in such a wonderful area.

Log is just the slightest bit damp, but not wet. TFTC

A really quick find. Muggles camping close by. It is a bit sad to see the rubbish absolutely everywhere from overfull bins.

Found it! Nice views on the way. TFTC

A quick find while we checked out Ted's Beach. TFTF

We found this one during our camper-van holiday in Tasmania.

Thank you for the Cache and greetings from Germany.

We have returned from Canada to discover a few more Australian caches! What a great way to explore the Land Down Under" ...
Lots of caravans and campers here, so we strategically parked our vehicle using it for cover.
Thanks for another great cache Tassie Trekkers!

Found this yesterday but mustn't of logged found on my phone app.
Spent the night with some local nocturnal friends. TFTC

A quick find, lots of camper vans on the beach, the weather was perfect here today. TFTC.

Beautiful beach, and very interesting reading about how it was constructed! Cache was a bit tricky to retrieve and nearby a jackjumper nest, but otherwise found without any problems. Was a relief to find after a bunch of DNF's in the area. Nice cache, thanks!

It was muggle central here today, due to the number of people in the area for the open day at the Gordon Power station. Luckily most of them were looking out across the lake, admiring the view, rather than taking any notice of what we were doing foraging in the rocks. TFTC unfortunately the electric bbqs in the area were not working, so people wanting to use them were disappointed.

Found on our recent trip around Tassie. What a great place to visit at this time of year. TFTC

First time in Tassie - what a great country !!! TFTC

Nice lake. Nice weather. Nice cache.

TFTC. Muggles everywhere but stealth kept them at bay.

It was very busy with campers. We enjoyed the short walk along the beach.

TFTC. Visitors from Czech Republic.

Found on a road trip around Tassie. Love this part of the country.

Tftc!

A quick find and lots of muggles camped here and a lone sole swimming in the lake. Must be from another planet. TFTC.

Heazle1 spent the night here great spot bar the owl in the tree above our camper. this was pot luck with out any service went by what i had read about cache tftc

Stayed at the beach for a night great spot to stay but it rained all night.
The cache was an easy find as i parked the car right next to the spot.
Thanks.

Gotcha !!! TFTC Like Old Saint my attack was from above.

Stopped for a quick fish and some cheese and biccies before heading back to the Chalet for the night. Great spot! TFTC

Hi Again
From the connection to Teds Beach didn't take very long.
Found the cache quickly but because of the little stream (created by the wet weather) below the rock, I extracted the cache from above and not beside. The cache was logged at 1212hrs.
Have had a lot of fun here with the trout and a fly rod on many an occasion.
A spot all cachers should visit if not only for the cache but for the views too!
Thanks for another *FTF*
Cheers OldSaint.
