It survived the changeover from Officeworks to Dan Murphys...
It outlasted the Streets Alive graffiti...

... but, alas, it is gone.

I no longer geocache, so I won't be able to replace it.
Thanks for searching this one out, ladies and gentlemen.

###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

After enjoying some tea at Mortys we headed into town to do some caching as the streets were quite. Spent some time wandering around city park doing the Mystery cache, then moved on to some other caches close to the town center.

Easy find. Thanks euphorian for the hide.

TFTC and greetings from Germany!

After a trip to Devonport today it was back to Launceston for a work Xmas dinner and I had just a couple of hours to wait around. What a bonus, time to do some caching. I concentrated on mainly roadside or city caches and this little one just had to be there. Plenty of activity around this area today with people stocking up on liquids to get them through the silly season. Thanks for a good hide TheEuphorian. This is certainly a small one but thankfully the log was easy to get too and replace. Glad to have found it easily hanging around here would make you look very suspicious.

Cool small one

We are in Tessie for a few days based on Hobart. Our friend their had to relocate a coach back to Launceston so we hitched a lift with him and then had 3 hours on this lovely Sunday morning for some caching.
We did a big loop walk and found 11 caches, enjoyed a coffee and an ice cream and then ready for pick up and back to Hobart.
Hoping for a scallop pie on the way back to town.
We’ve been to Launceston before but it was BC so was nice to revisit a few spots including seeing the monkeys again.
Thought this one was missing but on the second pass found the tiny nano had been looking for something bigger. TFTC

It’s not the size that counts
 
29-Sep-19
Arrived in Launceston late this afternoon so decided to find a few caches, including this one, to orient myself. After starting with two nanos the rest were slightly larger. Saw some great architecture, nice artwork and enjoyed a stroll along the waterfront - as well as some alleys, car parks and sites behind dumpsters. TFTC

Tftc. Found on my way to Woolies. I've come to Tassie to do some hikes starting tomorrow. Looking forward to it.

A quick and easy grab. A bus load of women heading out for a hens night turned up to shop not far away but they were not even in the same place, to worried about getting their wine for the night.

It isn't everyday you can park that close to a cache. The log is just a lump of paper and needs to be replaced. Unfortunately I had nothing to create a new one at the time. TNLN. TFTC!

We're spending a couple of days in Launceston visiting friends, and as always we're making sure to take a little time to pick up a few caches!

We started our trip with a little shopping, and found ourselves in the vicinity of this cache in the process. We didn't have much trouble tracking it down, fortunately, but did find that the cache was looking a bit like it was on its last legs...

Thanks for a fun little diversion from our shopping!

TFTC!

While the others were shopping around the corner, I ducked over to this one for a nice quick find at 18:00. Unfortunately the logsheet was missing so I fashioned one out of a piece of cardboard from the nearby pallet. Some TLC definitely needed on this one. Surprised

TNLNSL, although a couple of our geocoins had a visit to mark the occasion. Thanks TheEuphorian.

In Tassie with family doing a short trip around this lovely island. We saw some amazing scenery, wildlife and visited some beautiful places while touring around in our motorhome. I took the opportunity to stop and grab any caches when we could stop. We only had a few DNF's and made some good discoveries and clever hides during the trip. We had some fun and laughs along the way.

It was a warm day, as we wandered around the CBD picking up a few of the hides. With no professionals about, there were few muggles about at midday, so it allowed us to make a quick find, unlike ordinary circumstances.

Thanks TheEuphorian for placing the cache for us to find and doing the maintenance to keep it in play.

Out with Sorceysal for a few days of caching fun in Tassie . We had just driven off the boat after a long night in the recliner lounge and were heading to Ross via Launceston.
Of course we couldn’t go past a cache along the way .
No trouble here. Sorry we were too late and missed the mural.
