Turns out this hide is verry similar to one I have created elsewhere in the state. BUT it still had me going for a bit, and the wet and windy conditions weren't doing a lot for my determination to find and log. TFTC ausandaus2
Collected this one today with my children whilst on our last day in Tas for this trip. Was a very quick find as had found it years ago with my daughter when she was into caching and was not yet a member. TFTC from the inspectorrexteam
Lovely little spot. If you have it, bring some bread for the very friendly ducks. TFTC.
Having a little experience with this type, cache was quickly located, signed and returned. Tftc. MattyH from Tassie
Very very clever hind. I thought hmmm that looks a bit out of place sure enough.
Found it was a clever spot to hide but im just good at finding things i guess
Today we are on tour to find some caches to change in friendly Smilies.
Here we had a quick find. Nice hide.
Thank you and greetings from Germany send Moorhelmi

I wish I had time to stroll the trail, unfortunately I have a ferry to catch. TFTC
This was yet another very crafty cache which was well hidden however we found it very easily due to the very accurate GPS coordinates and the very limited hiding spaces at GZ. Thanks again ausandaus2 haven't been here since I was a lad and that's a long time ago lol...
Found with HannahBandana and Benji on our way back to Hobart.
As I'd lost my pen, I took a photo for confirmation.
Thanks for the cache.

Tassie Trip Day 51 - It was a nice day so another drive was in order this time a quick trip to Clarmont to find the barber as it was a recomendation from a local for a good hair cut. So after trying a revisit to a previous DNF we then went on to find some more caches in bridgewater first before going to claremont.
Well this was a rather distinctive type of cache that I have seen before and once at GZ it was soon found and the log signed.
Thanks for another of those distinctive cache container you are truly an inspiration to all ausandaus2

Found the cache. It took a few minutes for me to spot it though.
Also found several syringes and little plastic bags.

Clever little guy. At first I thought it would be simple, but then I read previous logs and realized my mistake. Once I realized I would have to be clever I realized where it was. Coordinates were spot on. Thanks for the cache.
Nice little cache which has fooled a few. A bit of time and effort put into the cache. Nice little valley.
Clever hide, However you need to place logbook in a plastic bag as Water has soaked in and got it wet! TFTC.
What a lovely place for a cache, watched the ducks for ages while geohubby looked for the cache without any success. Wandered over to help and soon had the cache in hand. Love the hide, deserves a favourite point. TFTC ausandaus2 
A great find and a very quick with my ever improving cache skills. Thanks heaps!
This one took a little bit of searching, and was searching quite a wide area but then I had another idea and the cache was there. TFTC.

A great little stroll down by the banks of the Jordan today
A popular doggie walking spot too !! [:o]
In between the pooch guided muggles,
I managed a few looks in likely places
And after many minutes I was left standing there looking cacheless
Some aimless wandering around did the trick though
The cache was spied from afar
Oooh !!

So close to giving up! Spent WAY too long on the wrong track. One last look, and yes, there it is! Thanks!
In Tassie for a couple of days to attend a family funeral and being I have never found a cache in Tassie before, I managed to squeeze in 30 minutes of caching time while the family was busy doing other things.
When I heard what had happened and I booked my flights, I had a quick look at the maps and seen this one was near where I was heading. Nice creative little cache here, enjoyed finding this one, a nice distraction from everything else going on.
Thanks for the cache placement ausandaus2

In Tasmania for 8 mths, staying at New Norfolk for a few days and we just love this area, out and about exploring and finding a few caches. TNLN, TFTC.

First TASMANIAN cache after moving here.
With new geodog Roxi.
Good hide took sometime getting into geoing again.

A few geese and ducks were the only muggles about today. A quick and easy find for me - my caching sixth sense was in fine form today. TNLN. TFTC.
Found my first Tasmanian cache on my way back from visiting my sister in Bagdad. Woohoo! Love these ones.
Wow, such a great hide. Put eclipse tins out of your mind and look for a proper micro!
hi ausandaus2, I was in the area today for the world game, and had already found one of yours this morning. Then met up with Lil Rafa and the geoGSP for a spot of caching, and after a bit of a marathon at Equestrians Cache, we walked onwards to this one. It was refreshing to make an easy find here. THANKS!
Now to walk back to the sports ground to grab a set of wheels as Broadmarsh is a little too far to walk whilst waiting for only two games of soccer to be played.

Met up with EeePees today for an afternoon of geocaching in the Brighton area. We decided to stretch our legs (and the GeoGSP's legs) and took a stroll to this one. There was a large gaggle of geese on the other side of the road but the GeoGSP didn't notice them so we were able to approach without incident. EeePees soon spotted the cache and it was signed and returned quickly. Thanks for the cache ausandaus2, will need to return and take a walk along this track!
Quickly found but it took a while to realise the significance of the clue. A nice hide at the beginning of what looks like a nice track to ride. Thanks.
Happy new year. Would have been rude not to search a cache in the area when staying nearby. TFTC
I am familiar with this kind of hide, but still a neat hide that can have one looking about for a moment, which I did. The ducks and geese were on the other side of the river today. TFTC ausandaus2.
Found it! Were a bit worried the recent floods may have affected the conceal but brilliant hide. Soon sussed out. Kutgw
Walked down to find this clever cache would like to camp by the river but not this time signed and replaced tftc
TFTC great hide. Sooo much fun to find and it is placed in a beautiful location.
Log replaced this morning.
Thanks, Hugh, for advising us that the log was wet, much appreciated.

TFTC! A very clever hide with a very clever hint. The log was saturated, which was a shame. But it was still a joy to find.
Sue found this as soon as he reached the location. We thought it was a good hide.

Came back to attempt to find this on multiple occasions. Finally found it very sneaky hide TFTC
Was a bit concerned that it might of been washed away but still there. Log is wet though TFTC
Log was some what wet / damp but this could of been to do with the recent river height. We parked back up the road at the locked gate and walked down. Kids enjoyed watching the whirlpools as the water was sucked down and under the road.

Eldest son Found before me ....
Quick find and lovely trail.
Jordon river is VERY dry ...
Wonder why, is it due to us pinching water further upstream or just part of the cycle.
Lovely spot nonetheless.

TFTC pulled over to turn the car around and we were swarmed but all the ducks nearby. This clever little cache was lucky for me and also my 250th find!!
This was day 63 of our trip out of Sydney to visit the southern states of Victoria and Tasmania and was day 21 of the Tasmanian part.
This was a nicely hidden cache and a bit tricky to find. Thankfully there were no muggles around to hinder the search and on finding the cache we understood the hint better. After the log had been signed the cache was replaced where we found it. Thank you for bringing us to this area and for thank you for placing this cache for us and others to find. We are giving it a favourite point for being an interesting hide.
