Not sure this one is there anymore. May require maintenance by the owner.
Looking at old photos by people, it appears this used to be quite a nice memorial. When we visited, it was devoid of grass and landscaping. It is possible that the geocache may still be there but if it is, it appears that it may be buried under some very hard soil that has covered it due to a land slip.
Digging for the geocache in such a sensitive location is not something I am prepared to do.
Would be great if the geocache owner could update or delete this geocache. There have been a lot of DNFs.

Tassie Trip Day 27 - Well after we decided on what to do we though it would be a great day to see some more sights and do a few local caches before taking a little drive.
Arrived at GZ however this one was not forth coming considering it was a quiet locaiton and there were not many places it could have been the CO may need to do a little bit of a check to ensure this one is still in place.
Thanks chickp753 for showing us thie place.

Well hidden is right
Yet the locals haven't forgotten about it,
and are leaving flowers on the memorial [^]
I was looking for a cache to remember this place by,
and after 20 minutes of looking around,
could find no trace of a cache

This one nearly got a DNF. It was only that we checked one last place as we left, that we managed to find it. Not sure if it was just the day or maybe the trees, but both or our GZ's were out by a long way. Anyway, as I said, we eventually found it. Such a sad place with so many young gone too soon. Thanks for the cache.
Hi there chickp753.
We cached around Winyard and Somerset today - and found your cache **"Hidden Treasure... Lest We Forget"** at 1:40:00 PM. (This brings our total find count to 18468).
We ended up finding a variety of container types and sizes on our journey & found 11 caches (& DNF'd 5).
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.
###Thanks for placing a large cache here. It is really sad to note that the trend of placing small caches (without swaps) is increasing. While nanos and eclipse tins sometimes have their place in an urban environment these, along with 200ml Sistemas, seem to be the norm these days even out in more remote areas. It made us feel really glad to find a large, kid friendly cache here.###
**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.

Dippa46 and I have been holidaying around Tassie and collecting caches on the way to mark our journey. Thoroughly enjoying ourselves. TFTC
dropped by last night for some maintenance. replaced log book with a water resistant version and added some more goodies to the mix
Had never been to this area before so was pleased to have a look around and find your cache. TFTC!
checked on cache tonight. Trackable spotted and gps confirmed cords are only 2-3 metres off and quite within the range allowed. remember this one is for the kiddies, not hard to find but should be placed in behind again with lid screwed on tight to keep muggles away. also swaps are aimed at them rather than adults so try to replace with something for another kiddie wherever possible thanks. Cache has been going great so far
Found pretty much as the hint suggested. Not far from iPad coordinates & a tad away from GZ. Thank you for showing us yet another hidden aspect of Burnie. Kutgw
Found this one while ago but was running out of time to move on couple of interstate TB's.
Apologies have just noted that we forgot to update the hint for the new hide. Hint updated at 16:10 on 12 Oct 2016
Finally its here. Happy to say we have a brand new replacement cache in a new hidey spot. Container is a bit smaller than the last one but is still full to the brim with swaps for the kids. Cache is now a black screw top. Happy caching.
New Cords are s41'02.621 e145'49.721

Thanks me find
Checked on cache over the weekend and can confirm it has indeed gone missing along with the shrub it was hiding in looks like there may have been a small landslide or at least a tidy up in the area since the rains. We are temporarily disabling the cache while we make up a new one and find a new safe spot to leave it. Sorry for the inconvenience but we hope to have a new and improved cache back here really soon.

When we arrived at the monument we found the old log book just sitting out i bthe open. So much broken glass about. We searched the area and also found the cache container and its contents. Have added the old log book to the container . Tftc
Camped at Boat harbour for a few days,on a drive around to get a few caches quick find in the obvious spot TFTC
Cache had been muggled, contents all over the place, have repaired and put new log book but expect it to be disturbed again as there are lots of empty beer bottles around so maybe a local hang out place
Travelling around Australia and spending a few months in Tasmania.
A beautiful day out and about today so we headed off on the GeoBikes but sadly we had felt like we had more DNF's than finds today.
Today definitely wasn't our day.

A great cache for kids that were beginning to think they were never going to find anything! Kids found a couple of items in their bags to replace in the cache.
Last one in Somerset, we parked on the road and walked on over. Terrain 2? Okay must be up there somewhere.
We trekked it up to where we thought it would be...only the GPS still said 30 or so metres... maybe little further up? Oh look a track ... That might have been the better way to come in!
Okay now that we are closer let's have a proper look.
While I was looking in one spot my muggle uncle checked another, not too long passed when he said "could it be that?", I turned and ah yes, that would be it. Very out in the open hiding spot ... We grabbed it to sign and replaced as found. TFTC, we took the TB.

A nice easy find for the geokids. Cache is in good dry condition. SL TFTC #10 @15.15
The area was totally deserted today which made for an easy find - quite a nice view from here too !
Thanks for the cache, chickp753 !
