I am regretfully archiving this cache since unfortunately there has been no action to restore it, or any communication from the cache owner, BundyHunters, requesting additional time.

The time frame for action has now expired, and it appears that the cache has been abandoned.

Therefore, this location is now available for the placement of a new cache.

###Cache Owner Action Needed###
This cache has been brought to my attention as likely to be missing.
After a string of successful Finds, it has now had a string of DNFs. I agree that this certainly suggests that something has happened at the cache location which requires investigation by the CO.

The cache will be disabled and I'll check back in 4 weeks to see if either

- the CO has checked or rectified the apparent problem
- the CO has communicated in a Note log here, when action will be taken

**If the CO has not taken either of these actions, then we can only assume that the cache has been abandoned and, regrettably, it will be archived.**

The Geocaching Community needs to have a degree of certainty that a cache is out there to be found, and the CO has a responsibility to maintain their caches.

Thank you

We had 3 pairs of eyes looking for this one, without success (oh how we hate to give up!)
Given the clue we are fairly sure that this cache is MIA.

Second time I’ve looked for this one. First time muggles fishing right near cache. This time went back with The Roadies, but still no luck with 3 of us looking.

Tassie Trip Day 90 - It has been a great trip so far about half way now so today was to finish off the area we were in yesterday and after making a mystery find we went on to primrose sands to collect those wonderful hides.

After making our way to the GZ and looking high and low from left and right it was up and down round and round but nothing was found for us however there was nothing that indicated the clue so after 20Min searching it was decided to call it.

Thanks for this DNF Jade Samantha it was well worth the walk in.

Beautiful place.
 
This is another of those caches that was just of the road I was taking so never got to call in and search.

But today with me being out with Gooseandegg grabbing a few caches out East, we went out of our way to find this one.

After a short walk and an even shorter search thee cache was soon in hand.

Thanks for the cache.

Hi there BundyHunters.

We found your cache **"Rock the Boat"** at 12:35:00 PM today. (This makes our grand total 18798).

Today we started our cache run in Dunally & worked our way North.. We thoroughly enjoyed our tour today & ended up finding a variety of container types, and sizes. Our cache count was 8 caches today, with 1 DNF's.

Thanks for placing this cache, without geocaching as our guide we would never have found so many interesting places on our travels.

**Coordinate Accuracy:** We found this cache around 12m from where the GPS said we should be looking. Wink
**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.

I walked along the beach and made my way across the rocks to find this nicely hidden cache. Tftc
 
29-Jan-18
In Primrose Sands for a funeral and had an hour to spare so decided to grab the 2 caches here. Walked along the rocks to get to this one and after making the find decided to return the same way.
Thanks, an easy find at a beautiful beach.

Was pretty sure I was in the right place but after 10 minutes looking my family were back down the beach so I had to abandon the search
 
05-Nov-17
Well that was fun! What a lovely spot we thought the ladder to the big rock might have been a clue but we let ourselves get side tracked and took alot longer to find tftc

Hi BundyHunters / Jade Samantha
Thanks for the cache. Having returned to PrimroseSands to put the boat back on the trailer, after a boating caching adventure this morning with AlbyDangles and his muggleBro; and then a warming coffee and lunch courtesy of MrsMuggleBro, it was time to leave.
Called in here though first, to make a nice find after a rock hop or two.
The weather is finally clearing. There was no dwizzle at this cache!
Thanks for bringing me here.
Thanks to AlbyDangles and his muggleBro for excellent company.

It was a very breezy day, the wind a little chilly and blustery as we followed the path above the shore. I had taken a muggle friend along to introduce her to geocaching and as we approached GZ it struck me that we might be at the wrong altitude since there was nothing particularly plausible as a hiding place. After a change of position and some renewed attention to the arrow, the cache was soon in hand. Thanks for the cache, BundyHunters; it was an interesting little spot.

Description had me a bit confused. I parked at the carpark behind the shop and walked down to the beach and took the path just before the ramp and ended up way above the cache. Just follow the beach.
 
27-Mar-16
What a lovely beach. Thanks for bringing us here. TFTC
 
22-Mar-16
Back from the mountains to the beaches again. Sun was shining and some crazy people went swimming. We just used the beach for lunch picknick.....thanks for the cache
 
10-Mar-16
Had some work commitments this way, so there was a good excuse for a quick diversion to grab this geocache - lovely views this afternoon too!
Thanks for the cache, Jade Samantha ! Big Grin

Out to look for a few caches today, overcast today so not too warm. Couple of minutes to locate the find. TFTC
 
17-Feb-16
A pleasant walk sheltered from the wind. Reached GZ area and checked all possible areas which remained in the vertical GZ zone. Eventually found in a pleasant enough spot.

Thanks for bringing us to this great beach. We took the rocks to the cache and the path back up Smile

In the rock versus path debate, I vote rock. Another beautiful Tassie costal spot. TFTC

Travelling around Australia and spending a few months in Tasmania.

Now staying in Campania, we had no plans for today. So a decision to daytrip across to Sorell saw us creeping further and further away from home. Razz

Nice weather not too hot not too cold made for a very enjoyable time caching and puzzle solving.

Max found the cache for Team Docking today! Walking on the rocks took a while for our 7 year old team member but was easier than accessing the cache from the path.

A lovely spot to enjoy the late afternoon sun and grab a cache at the same time. TFTC.

A choice had to made - scramble over the rocks or take the slippery track? We very carefully took the track down to the lovely beach. Good hide. Thanks for placing the cache here Jade Samantha.

Found on our way to Hobart on a planned cache maintenance run.

These caches have been published since our last visit to the area.

Thanks to all cache owners for placing and maintaining these caches for our enjoyment.

I should have been first to find this cache being a long time resident of Primrose, I had let my Premium membership run out however so was not notified when it was first logged, so today while explaining to a friend what caching was I found there was a cache barely 1 klm away from me, off we went for a nice walk, I can never get sick of taking in the views over the beach, the old boat shed that was here was my son's hang out when he was a kid and hope he wasn't one of those that slowly destroyed it to the stage it needed to be demolished I am sure he wasn't. had fun looking for this cache as well as the needed walk and fresh sea air. TFTC

Gee what a lot of the cursed Boneseed weed along the area to the cache.  It is a huge number of years since we visited someone at the other end of Primrose Sands  and we were stunned by the number of dwellings here.

By the time we left home the sunny weather had turned to rain and we decided to reverse the cache order, starting now from Marion bay and winding our way back via Connellys Marsh. This worked well as the rain was avoided and gradually the wind abated.
 
10-Aug-14
We parked at the shop and went down to the beach, the kids wanted to 'rock hop' so we went around the foreshore to GZ. Found quickly in cold and windy conditions. TFTC

Today we headed to Hobart for an early morning appointment tomorrow. For most of the trip south, we drove in quite thick fog. Thankfully all traces of fog had lifted by the time we arrived on the Eastern Shore but the sun was getting quite low in the sky as we arrived at this location. It took some scrambling before one of us was able to get to a location consistent with the hint. Once there, a quick find was made. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks for the cache Jade Samantha and thanks for bringing us to this location - great late afternoon views on the shortest day of the year.

Hi Jade Samantha
This cache had sat unfound for too long. Arrived at GZ and enjoyed the tremendous views before searching for the cache.
The cache was found quickly and logged at 1002hrs.
An enjoyable cache with great views.
*FTF* to OldSaint - THANK YOU!
TFTC and cheers
