Forgot to say in my original DNF comment that we DID find a plastic tie and metal ring that would indicate that perhaps the bison container had been muggled? Kutgw
We spent a long time searching high and low but no find We are new to this so may need to brush up on our skills.
Came back for another look after reading the hint 'think smalller, look higher' and we found it! 1st find for us
I have just replaced the container on this one. Thanks for letting me know it needed maintenance.
A very quick find by Chugger who played soccer from 4yo, then moved onto hockey from about 9yo. My washing was very grateful for the transition to astro turf after about 11 years of muddy strips.
Many thanks to activehunters from the Wackys

So many muggles!!! Managed to time our search between them though and a very quick and easy find was had. TFTC!
Could CO please update cache description as it no longer matches the container.
Thanks for the maintenance on this one, it is good to turn it into a smiley after the failed attempt with Reperio. TFTC activehunters. I will log a "Needs Maintenance" to request that you update the cache description as per previous logs.
Back in Tassie finding caches that have been published since our last visit, this is one of them.
After a previous DNF it was nice to return and see the cache has been replaced.
Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.

Coords accurate, but cache description not. Think smaller & higher. Otherwise, a quick find. TFTC 
Out and about but failed to unearth his one. It must be hiding or cache blindness!
Logging this "Needs Maintenance" so CO is notified that this one appears to be "missing in action". I only logged a DNF at first until a couple of other cachers failed to find, as I was not sure whether I had just missed it.
Came past while in Tassy for the week. parked and spent 15 min going over this area. Obviously not good enough. Hope to come back for another go soon.
A good search by torchlight with #Reperio, but no joy with this one tonight on our cycle raid.
Tftc! Took a while for gps to settle down but once it did co-ordinates were spot on
A few little potential David Beckham's were practising their goal kicking nearby but the van nicely hid our search from them. Not the container we were expecting but a quick find even so. Thanks.
Travelling around Australia and spending a few months in Tasmania.
Today was all about attending the Event. Nice to meet you.
We were planning to attempt this cache yesterday but we ran out of time. So in the area after the event and hunting for a new cache nearby we swung over to tackle this one.
First to sign the new logbook. All good here today and no muggles.

I have replaced the container and the logbook. Thanks for the heads up Tardis.
We came here once before but it was far too busy to look. Today was quieter. As noted by previous finders, it was more a case of chiselling our mark in the soggy papier mache than actually signing. Not sure why it's only lasted 3 months since replacement as the hide is fairly well protected.
Tried to get it earlier in the day, but their was a muggled parked by GZ. Came back for a quick find, cache was a bit wet
TFTC had new log in it today - well it was a blank notebook with no signatures in it.
First find for the day. Here's hoping we find a few more this straightforward! Tftc
I replaced the log in this cache on the 25/7/15 sure to it being water logged.
First original find in a while and I'm so glad it wasn't a tiring search.
Found with FrankRabbit on a rather wet evening.
And, as was the evening, so was the log and contents.
Still sign-able, as long as you're careful.
Container may need some waterproofing and drying.
TN, left fuse.
TFTC!!

Found easy enough. Log is wet, may dry out, but should be replaced anyway. TFTC

We had been caching in Hobart for the day and were in the Northern Midlands on our way home when a message was received that a new cache had just been published in Launceston. There was no option but to continue straight through Perth rather than take the Illawarra Road to the Bass Highway.
As this cache was on the way to the newly published cache, we decided to call in. There were numerous muggles in the area but they were all involved with soccer practice and we were able to search for the cache without interruption. Accurate coordinates led to a quick find. the cache and contents were in good condition. thanks for the cache activehuunters and good luck for the rest of the season. We left a geocoin in the cache.

Some time to kill prior to an appointment in Launceston, a nice easy find.. thanks..!!
FTF yay close to home so a quick find in the dark. Logged at 5:09pm. Poor old gps60 struggled with low batteries and heavy cloud cover so the compass was waving around all over the place. TFTC
Ok had this one listed in another PQ list but looking back at Sat. view and street view I know this one was found while I was with sb8. A couple of people were in the place next door, but I think with the light rain they paid little attention to us. Oh and he was right of its location.
