Saw this on the map and should have gone with my gut. Surely I can find it lol.
No go. So many around where CO's don't maintain, quite annoying to be honest.

Needs to be archived although I hate saying it. If co dosnt care then leave the map free for someone who does.

After setting up the geo van at New Norfolk,, and armed the local caches along the river walk, we set of on a hot afternoon to see how we would go.
It was not to be a good day for us as we were either muggled, or could not find most of the caches, in fact, our rate for the day was 1 found, 5 dnfs. Not a great record.
A long walk from camp for another missing cache. Not happy cacher today. Think it is time for CO to replace, based on so many DNFs

Having a weeks holiday in Tasmania with joojoo57. Staying in New Norfolk and do day trips. Thanks for all the wonderful caches.
On a holidays for a week in New Norfolk. The weather hasn't been very caching friendly but we found a few around town. Caching with geo-sister and niece (TeamBiffo) who were the keen eyes who found this hide. TFTC.
Caching with mjh1970.
Another quick walk and grab during our quick visit to New Norfolk. TFTC

First cache of 2015. Met a caching family out for a stroll and got to see some history as we drove through. NINO TFTC
TFTC.11.10. Tasmania is our last vacation journey in Australia, along this route, we look for caches. Greetings from the Netherlands
Tftc, found with little problems, biggest one was keeping aged pug from falling in..
After completing local FTF decided to clean up a few of the local caches, before I ran out of battery power. GPS was slow to decide upon correct location but once the arrow settle knew where to look for quick find. Nice location.

Out and about with whitewebbs finding caches that have been published since our last visit to the area.
Thanks to all cache owners for placing and maintaining these caches for our enjoyment.

Lovely weather, fantastic loop around as enjoyed drive with everlasting, good spot GZ, sign log.. Thanks
This was another of the caches we managed on our return from our day at the salmon ponds. The cache hiding spot was noticed by JK and retrieved by the largest of the junior caches.
I walked along from the pool and quickly found and logged the cache. I drove across the old bridge many times but it's been a while. TFTC.
Parked up top. After a quick dither whether to descend or not we did. Right choice. Not up with that particular volume but as it happened hint was not necessary. Learning a lot about NN's history from this series. Even that the locals call "Norfick" Giggle Town (apparently) was news to us.
A bit of persistence searching all the probable spots eventually turned up the cache - suspect the concrete was interfering with the GPSr signal.....!
Thanks for the cache, tx4000!

Not sure if this was the second or third time I have found a cache at this location. Still was nice to return to the spot, given the history and location. Sorry for late log. Great place to visit at any time of the year.

With darkness falling this cache took a little longer to find than it should have, but eventually someone put their hand on it.
There were plenty of spots to look here, so I took my time checking them all over. I spent most of my time nowhere near the cache however, and after reevaluating my position and ruling out one whole area, I had the cache in hand.

This one took a bit longer than the last ones but we got it eventually. Not sure about the hint but we found it anyway. TFTC
A nice day off and a drive into the country around New Norfolk was in order, found 33 caches and had a great day off
Being such a beautiful autumn day, we decided to come south to look for some caches, mainly in the New Norfolk area. The "Giggle Town Six Pack" title certainly caught our attention and this series was our main focus for today. Some time ago we visited this location to look for another cache which has since been archived. At the time we appreciated the construction of the stone wall but did not realise the significance of the 'Woodbridge' residence. Thanks tx4000 for the history snapshot - we certainly took a more informed look at the area today. Accurate coordinates led to a quick find. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks for the information tx4000 and for bringing us to this interesting location.
Well we had no idea what the hint might relate to, but Sue managed to spot the cache anyway. When back at home, while still puzzling about the hint, the only thing an internet search brought up was some bible reference, but still none the wiser even though there did seem to be a connection of sorts.

With a fine morning predicted, followed by rain arriving in the late afternoon, it was off soon after breakfast to New Norfolk. A 12.5 k circuit walk from the town centre took us past 10 caches. Return was by Boyer Road which is marked at 80KPH all the way to Bridgewater which we kept to, but some drongo who seemed to be unable to read and had little regard for road safety passed us on double lines beside an 80 sign whilst beeping and gesticulating violently as he roared past.
The morning of caching did however turn out to be a day of caching, but we did beat the rain home; only just though.

Quick find for Knight#4 this afternoon. Not sure what the hint meant but found anyway. We did four of the Giggle Town caches today. The order we did them in was #5, #4, #3 and #2. TFTC tx4000.
Great to see Woodbridge restored to such good condition - it looks a picture in a picturesque setting. Our GPS wanted us to go further afield but the hint took us to the right area. Thanks for the cache.
Cache zombified. Back to the giggle town caches (why giggle town? Not Tasmanian so don't get the reference..) Easy find once I figured out wheteher to go up or down. Tftc.
An enjoyable day caching with WKC and the Gosseandegg family. This was the twenty-second cache on a day where we managed to completed a 6 pack, a bakers dozen and a few others.
A lovely area near the river and the magnificient Woodbridge homestead. The Goose and Miss J did a great team effort to retrieve this cache. TFTC.

It was a team effort with Smiley_Bear and WKC to do the Derwent Valley Trail series and luckily the republished GTSP series. We did them a little out of order 6, 1, 3, 2, 4, 5. I found this one but needed the skinny arm of Miss J to reach it. On to Willow Court to number 4. TFTC
Hi tx4000
Had to perform maintenance on "The Road That Should Be #1" and continued on to New Norfolk to look for "Giggle town six pack #1-4" not knowing they had been temporarily archived. Found that out later on in the day when I checked to see if the GC Website was working. My apologies if I have found this cache before you wanted. However, found quickly - Have looked for and found a few caches in this location before. Hope this one remains in place as it is a very pretty spot.
Sainted as *FTF* today at 1251hrs
TFTC and cheers
