Could not find. Maybe its gone missing since the infomation bay was burnt down.
Could not find this one. Read the hint so i stuck my hands in every hole that it would fit. Might need checking following the last couple of comments
No people about made this a very easy cache, and a lovely view to go with it.tftc
Found it while driving across the Great Lakes area. We came to the Rest Stop and stopped to take a photo and read the boards. I then started thinking this is where someone should put a cache. I bent over to look and there it was. It had not been well concealed or had blown out of its hiding place so I replaced it a bit further our of normal view. TFTC
Back in Tassie with whitewebbs finding caches that have been published since our last visit, this is one of them. We targetted the caches in the centeral highlands on a great day out, not too cold!
Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.

We're half way through 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 have a whole island of caching fun ahead of us!

We are holidaying in Tasmania and are grabbing some caches whilst we are here.
Nice quick find in a spectacular location. Thank you for bringing us here.

Tftc nice easy find swapped little figurine for the white crayon, the last of the quote set. Awesome views
Yay, another cache found. Nice and quickly. And I didn't realise how busy this road can be! Thanks for the cache.
A 10 day trip to Tasmania with a lot more caching then initially expected, but I enjoyed every minute of it! This was one of the many caches I found and enjoyed. Can't wait to get back here and do it all over again, there are so many great places in Tasmania.

Good to finally cross this one off as it was missing last time we were here. What a busy place though! We chose this spot to meet our travelling companions for the weekend. Constant stream of traffic stopping here on this top day to check out the view and the information. Thanks.
We had had some good views already but this one had that WOW factor. Several others also pulled up so we had to deploy covert options especially when one family took out their picnic basket. Thanks Monty&Tylo.
En route from Hobart to Devonport today via the Highland Lakes, this was one we pulled over to find - along with another two carloads of muggles! What? The highway had been nearly deserted since we got on it, yet pull over for a cache and there's a crowd? Luckily, it didn't faze us. The Marble played decoy while I plopped myself down and snaffled the container from its hidey hole. After the signing and replacing, we admired the view of the lake for a bit (it was pretty cold) before heading off again. TFTC, Monty&Tylo. =^.^=
Another scenic spot to pull over and soak in exceptional views. Easy find, however, difficult to replace with a tourist wanting to scrutinise all the information on the board, waiting.. thanks..!!
Lovely day for a drive through parts of Tasmania not been to before. Thanks for making me stop for a magnificent view. Little bit of snow still still on the ground. Totally awesome place, really blown away by the beauty. Found with choppersrule. TFTC

A quick and easy drive by as we head East. Thanks for bringing us here and thanks for the cache.
Travelling around Australia, from our home in WA.
Another lovely day with sunshine!
Such an exciting day seeing Liffey Falls, The Great Lake, and Snow!!!! WooHoo. (remember in WA snow is almost non existent)
Lovely spot. Awesome.

We were on our way home from a winter camping trip to the west coast. It was an interesting drive down through the lakes with ice and snow aound, and Pine Lake actually half frozen over!
Lovely and clear views out over Great Lake today.
Thanks for the cache Monty&Tylo.

Came up into the highlands today searching for the cold fluffy white stuff... Stuck out on that one as it had all melted, but it was still freezing cold up here.. went for a hunt for some caches up here instead.
Quick find

Quick stop on the way over the lakes. Cold cold cold cold! Got a quick snap of the views and retreated to the warmth of the car.
Thanks

We were looking for a nice spot to stop for lunch, & with such a magical view this filled the bill perfectly. We did the business first though, which was a good thing as whilst we were munching & ogling, car after car pulled in to do a little of the latter. Strangely the Tasmap we have running on our car GPS (admittedly a little old but always bang on accurate) had the lookout clearly marked but a couple of zigs further down the hill. Now for the gravel "highway" south. [Blue]Find # 1972. Thanks for the cache Monty&Tylo TNLN.[/Blue]
Coming from the beautiful highlands and then this picture! It was magnificent!

A very late log I'm afraid, having just completed a thorough reconciliation of finds whilst out on adventures with Cached and/or Robtas - slacky Wacky missed just a few (cough cough)
Many thanks Monty&Tylo from the Wacky one

A nice spot as you come down from the top to see the massive lake. Found by Team Justice. TFTC
We found this one during our camper-van holiday in Tasmania.
Thank you for the Cache and greetings from Germany.

There were four cars here when we first arrived but we didn't mind waiting for them to depart as we had such a great view to enjoy on a beautiful day. A nice quick and easy find. Thank you for the cache.
Quick stop on our last day in Tasmania. Heading south from Launceston to Hobart for our flight, we still managed to stop a few places to sightsee or cache. An easy find after stopping for the viewpoint. Hopefully our rental car company won't notice we drove on a dirt road...
Here in Tasmania for a week as part of our epic journey through SE Asia, NZ, and Australia.

Great drive around the Great Lake with great views. Had to wait for muggles to disappear before the cache could be located.

We had based ourselves at Bothwell to do some caches that had been published since our last visit to the Greak Lakes area. A busy spot today, passed on the way through as lots of muggles taking photos and stopped and located quickly on our way back to Bothwell. A good view today. The water level is well down. TFTC. Dropped off TB to enjoy the view.
It certainly is a Great Lake! What a lovely day driving around it, picking up a few choice caches and having a spot of lunch at the pub.
At GZ the cache was found easily but then a car of muggles pulled up I had to wait while the mother muggle read ALL of the information on the boards. Finally she went to enjoy the view and I was able to safely replace the cache.

Found with Bedmaker while exploring the Lakes area today.
Wow, the views are magnificent! I haven't visited this area since I was a kid but I can't remember it being so beautiful.
Many thanks for bringing us to this great spot.

Found with Tassiegirl13 while down here on holidays from Queensland visiting the Tassie in-laws over the Christmas/ New Year period.
We were on a day trip up to the Great Lake area and called in the grab this one along the way.
There were a couple of Muggle Campervans stopped here for lunch.
Thank fully they weren't facing in the same direction as GZ so we were able to grab this one without too much trouble.
Another spot with a 'Great' view.

Nice view from GZ, Interesting to see old mileage stone. Thanks Monty&Tylo. see pic
Quick find on our way to Hobart! One muggle was around but they didn't suspect a thing!
Great view from here! Trackable left. As we left saw some more possible geocachers arrive. TFTC!
Very windy, cold day. Great view. TFTC. Geocaching with Sondra & Carlin. White Warriors
No luck for us either. Will keep an eye on this one though as we had planned on going down to the lake to grab another cache but the road ahead looked a bit snowy and slippery past this point for a camper van. Gives us a good reason to return to one of our favourite places. Thanks.
Fluffster-gp is out and about again. Obvious spot but no cache to be found sorry.
Not found on our way to the NW coast on a caching trip. GZ was pretty obvious but there was no cache there to be found. Thanks anyway.
Found by mr sharnie's tribe at a spot he knew well. Caching in the lakes area today, he used to camp in this area a lot when he was younger. TFTC
Great views from here. Quick find. Took Captain Morgan TB to a new appropriate location. TFTC
#5390. Quick stop to let following traffic pass. Yep, a cache here at a great location.

Found while a muggle Vic family did some running around their car. They asked what we were doing and thought that we were council inspectors looking at the structure as their boy had just tripped over some of it.(yes he was ok). After a quick chat cache was returned and we all headed off in different directions.

Hi Monty&Tylo
Felt the need for a drive today. Only got a little further up the road from here.
Just extracted the cache when a muggle mobile stopped to look at the info. The cache went quickly into the pocket and I headed for the car where the log was Sainted at 1334hrs and I remained until they went so that the cache could be returned to its hide about ten minutes later.
TFTC and cheers

A quick grab from the lookout only a short drive from our home on the lake, SL, TNLN, TFTC Monty&Tylo.
I was on my way to Sheffield and then the Walls of Jerusalem and collected a few caches on the way. I have not stopped here before but did today to collect this cache. On a better day I'm sure the view back over the lake would be spectacular. TFTC Monty&Tylo.
(etrexer)Found on the way to the shack at little pine lagoon. Had to wait to get back home to log. The view from here is always welcoming seeing the great lake lets you know you haven't got far to go on your journey to the central highlands . Thanks Monty&Tylo
Last weekend we went to the Meander Valley and northern Great Lake area to look for some recently published caches. As we were logging our finds we noticed that two more had been published on the way to the Great Lakes and a third was published a day later. With no other commitments this morning, we headed back to the Great Lakes to look for these three new caches and to complete a CITO for the locationless cache "GA3002 The Two Hands Project CITO Cache". This was the third and final cache we came to. Whereas there had been low cloud and mist as we drove towards the Great Lake, there was now clear blue sky with the clarity that a cool autumn morning brings. There was a band of mist over a section of the Great Lake which reflected beautifully in the very still water. Magnificent views today - see the photo added to the Gallery. Again accurate coordinates and the hint led to a quick find although we had to walk away at one point and come back when some muggles arrived. The cache and contents were in good condition. There being no other entries in the logbook, we will claim FTF at 11:15. Thanks Monty&Tylo for another very good cache highlighting the features of Deloraine and surrounds.
