Couldn’t find it neither
The idea is good but there is no container.
Maybe the owner can check again?

Looked where we believe this cache should be, even expanded our search out to include other positions with no success
A fast find when I looked in the right place
Always a beautiful place to visit.

Istherecoffee stealthily got this one as muggle in carpark. Istherecoffee too scared to open contents as there was spider nest stuck to cache. Once removed the cache was logged. TFTC
TFTC all in good condition

Was worried when looking at what I thought would be the second rock from.end. more so when last log was a DNF.
Relieved once found. Depends on angle.as th whether it is the second rock or not????

A quick find then wandered up to the top of the sand dune to check out the surf which sounded impressive. But it was pretty much dead flat and the disappointed little muggle I met there summed it up well saying it wasn't worth getting the surfboards off!!!
Thanks.
Thanks.
Ps this note involves a spoiler the geocache isn’t really under the big rock but sort of just nex to the rock
Managed to find it, without using the hint which always brings some extra satisfation. Also liked the view from the sandunes over the beach.
Back on 18 February i was waiting in my GeoMobile for a surfer Muggle right on the GZ area to just suit-up and pee-off so i could go look for the booty. He took ages so i just abandoned it till today after grabbing one at Clifton Beach earlier.
Only one car here today and it was well over 30m from GZ
I parked as close to GZ as possible then went out to search for the cache.
With bushes hiding some rocks i was confused as to which was actually the 2nd last rock [:o]
It as a quick find once the search was a matter of elimination of the big hard things lol and i was SL at 11:50 on Monday 1 March 2021.
All is in top shape within the cache [^]

Grabbing some drive by caches as the sun began to set over Hobart. Listening to the Hottest 100 and grabbing caches. A day well spent. Nice find here
Hi JABs another of your caches found along Calvert's Lagoon road. All good at GZ topped the cache with a couple of treasures for the kids. Beautiful weather today makes a nice change to have no wind around. Thanks for maintaining both your hides here.
Took my 93 year old dad geocaching today. We both searched high and low - took a while but got it in the end. TFTC.
An easy find in this lovely little spot. The lagoon looks as though it hasn't seen water in a very very long time. There was a few surfing muggles but they were on the other side of the car park. The log was dry and all good. A little fragile but it was fine. Thanks
A beautiful quiet beach nearby. The well tucked away cache was an easy find with the clue. TFTC

Been here a few months ago but couldn't retrieve cache as carpark was full of surfers. Not today had it all to myself.

April Fool's Day - what a great introduction to caching on Tasmania's South Arm.
This was our last stop before heading back to base, unfortunately there wasn't time to walk to the top of the dunes, we imagine the view is stunning.
Thanks to 'JABs' for placing this cache on the geo-gameboard.

I decided to go for a long walk along the beach and grab a couple of caches along the way. I took the hint to its literal meaning. After stepping back out of the bushes, I soon spotted the cache. Signed and replaced as found. TFTC.

Hi there JABs.
We found your cache **"Calvets Lagoon"** at 11:44:00 AM today. (This makes our grand total 18817).
It looks like the heavy wind and rain has abated, so today we decided to head down the South Arm to log a few caches there... We thoroughly enjoyed our tour today & ended up finding a variety of container types, and sizes. Our cache count was 9 caches today, with 0 DNF's.
Thanks for placing the cache here. Without geocaching as our guide we would never have found so many interesting places on our travels.
**Coordinate Accuracy:** We found this 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:** A Smiley Badge.
Thanks for the hunt today,
Regards
Ian & Penny.

Another nice easy one on a lovely sunny afternoon. There was one occupied car in the car park as I arrived but it left by the time I had put on my sunhat. Thanks for the cache JABs.
Nice walk along the beach. Some big waves butno one surfing. Mustn't be good waves. TNLN TFTC
Visited here this morning while exploring South Arm Peninsula. We get smilies for all three Calvert caches (Lagoon, Beach and Walking Track). First time anyone has visited these caches for 2 or more months. We weren't sure whether they would be still in place. Maybe the flooding that occurred in June/July in Tasmania didn't affect this area.
The cache is in good condition. Took the trackable that has been sitting in this one for 2 months now. Will move it on so it can have a quicker journey around the country. TFTC

We brought a few TBs back from NZ and needed to find a cache big enough to house one (not easy with so many micros!!)
On our way to a family do at South Arm and this was a big enough cache as yet unfound by us.
Thanks JABs

Today we grabbed some smilies down South Arm and this was one of them, a quick find.
Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.

Once again the gps was all over the place so I repeated what I had done at the last cache and bingo! the gps settled down and took me straight to the cache again! Once again it was a quick easy find. TFTC
We're on the way south again to visit and say goodbye to our family as we've now got less than two weeks left of our six month stay from the Kurrajong area, (Blue Mountains) NW of Sydney. We've been touring in the caravan and also visiting with our kids and grandkids in the Huon Valley
We've thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and I for one don't want to go home!

A quick find with the aid of the hint once the surfers finished getting ready and headed for the beach. TFTC
Another of the three that I found around regatta day and hadn't logged yet!
A lovely afternoon caching with geokid and geodad. I remember us swapping an item in each cache but can't recall what they were!

A true park & grab. Down to around 5m with the car placed to give maximum muggle coverage though not needed today. Thanks for the guided tour of Calverts JABs.
