This was a easily found. Before I could hide it again another cacher arrived. It was a tourist from France.
We talked a bit, a picture was taken and then we moved on to the next cache.

This was the first one by our self. It was high up for us but we found it after a while. TFTC SL as THK
Set out after lunch from our camp, and headed up to this GZ after signing duties were completed for the Convict Brick Trail. Having not read the hint, I had no idea what to expect and my heart sank as I looked through the gates. However, Sam (sung) was my guide this afternoon and he told me I was very close well before he should have if it was to be a nano hidden on the field gun. Thank goodness. I followed his directions and soon had CIH. Logging duties over, the cache was returned to its hidey hole. Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for us to find Angus88 and Snuva. Signed log as SG as I often do in small caches to save space.
A quick find on my way home from work up north. Last time I tried, there were people everywhere so I just kept driving.
Thanks for the cache Angus88

Hi there Angus88.
We found your cache **"Play Work Fight"** at 12:45:00 PM today. (This makes our find count 18709).
Today was a travel day, we started off in Targa and decided to stop in Campbell Town because we noticed a cluster of caches. We thoroughly enjoyed our trip around the town & ended up finding a variety of container types, and sizes hidden along our route. We didn't bother following the arrow & just walked to the likely spot.
We found 6 caches today & DNF'd 0. Without geocaching as our guide we would never have found so many interesting places on our travels.
**Coordinate Accuracy:** We found the cache around 10m from where the GPS said we should be looking.
**Cache Condition:** The container and log book are in good shape.
**Took:** Nothing.
**Left:** Nothing.
Thanks for the hunt today,
Regards
Ian & Penny.

We spent an eanjoyable afternoon caching in Campbell Town. I have watched my son play football on this ground a few times in those North V South games where we meet halway(ish). A quick find once at GZ. Thanks Angus88 and Snuva for organising this cache.
Found 11m from where our GPS was indicating, like others before us we went by the hint and made a relatively quick find.

Finally had some time to stop here in Town. After a quick visit to the lollie shop we had some supplies, a coffee in hand, right I am ready. Eagle-00 was doing the technical bits and soon had the cache in hand. Thanks for maintaining the cache in the magical little town. TFTC
Found on the second attempt by following the hint and not the GPS. Thanks.
Finally got around to doing some logging. Travelling around in Tasmania and grabbing some caches along the way. TFTC
Disembarked from the Spirit of Tasmania this morning and caching our way to Swansea. Picked up this cache on the way. A nice quick find and we were on our way again. TFTC
T-Lee's gut instinct was right-but I found it...with the help of a hint and avoiding the muggles...
We spent several days up the coast enjoying this wonderful part of Tassie. We came back via Lake Leake Road, which we have never been on before. Have been near here before for another tricky find. I have to admit that this was a little bit easier to find than the last one. Cache found in good condition.

Couldnt find this one, GPS wasn’t helping, sent me all over the place, and then muggles showed up so I had to move on.
Mopping up some unfound caches about Campbell Town, this a relatively easy find.. thanks..!!
With two muggles to contend with it was a struggle but found in the end and relocated to the other side of its original location to assist with stealth mode
Didn't take long to locate. Had been here previously looking for the pesky nano hidden on the artillery gun. Thankfully this cache much easier.

Hello Angus88 thank you for the cache.
EeePees, LilRaffa and my self had left Hobart early this morning to go to Launceston to go to the "Th' lost loot o' Mary Hyde" event. After the very well attended event we had a leisurely drive home looking for caches as we went.
On our way home we stopped off to find all of the caches we hadn't already found in Campbell Town as it ended up none of us had found any of the active caches so we had a big list to tick off.
This was one of many on the long list at GZ I reminisced over a cache that I had spent a long time trying to find in the nearby cannon. Your cache didn't cause any problems like that as I was A quick find.
Found at 1525

Had 'sailed' from the deep south in treacherous and icy seas very early this morning with Lil Rafa and AlbyDangles to attend the "Th' lost loot o' Mary Hyde" event at Trevallyn Tailrace Park, for some piratey fun and cacher catch-up.
Afterwards we 3 then dropped anchor many times to search for other treasures during the voyage homewards, with CampbellTown being our main port o' call. We didn't weigh anchor for several hours, and not before bagging some more caches, and filling our bellies with warming tasty morsels.
This one took a little longer, and required a little more attention to detail while searching. AlbyDangles spotted it first, and we shared the find.
Thanks Angus88 for another CampbellTown cache.

After attending an event earlier in the day in Launceston with EeePees and AlbyDangles we decided that Campbelltown would be a great place to stop and log some caches on our return trip home. After grabbing some food and a warm drink we headed back out of the comfort of the bakery to see what else we could find in Campbelltown. We pretended to take some interest in gardening as all the highway traffic drove past, and AlbyDangles eventually revealed the cache. Thanks for putting a cache here Angus88 and Snuva.
Looked and found evidence of where it might have been , might need attention
TFTC! Can't believe we didn't find this before! Cache blind!
CARN THE HAWKS!! Sorry couldn't help myself...

Having spent the weekend 'up North' with Tazscout doing the Wilmot river along with a number of other caches we called at this one on the way home.
Nice find thanks for the cache.
Sorry at the very old log and C&P, I found these fieldnotes this week just after I had the idea I was up to date.

We parked the car by the exercise equipment and left the egg in the back seat reading. SSR and I jumped out and went our separate ways. I checked the hint as my GPS put me away from any hide options. That led me directly to it while SSR was investigating closer to where his GPS put him.
I went looking for him (his pen really) with the cache in hand but didn't see him, I turned around and there he was coming from where I had just been. Haha too slow Andy! We quickly signed the log and replaced the cache.
Now we had plans of doing The Mill House but there was a lady throwing a ball to her dog and she was standing right near GZ....this one we have left for another day

Had a few muggles to contend with here but the cache was quickly spotted and dealt with after a short wait. Thanks.
On our way to the Mega in Alice Springs with the caravan in tow. We liked the large stop area around the oval. Located the cache quickly and on our way to the ferry. No time to exercise! TFTC
found it only after extending my search by 10 metres to something that matched the hint. Both our phones and the Gps had this 10 metres away closer to the entrance making it much harder than it needed to be.
A quick find on the way home from Hobart, a good place to stretch the legs and even better with a cache to search for. TFTC
Good hide Angus and carer. Thank you for the cache. Maggie the great GeoWestie caching with Carer.
Hi Angus88
Have found a cache near this one on a previous occasion - it was near the guns.
Took a little while to find this one but finally found and Sainted it at 1030hrs
Had a little work out on the exercise equipment, but only 'cos there was no-one else around
TFTC and cheers

Apologies for the delay in posting our log. We've just had a great 16 day holiday in Tassie. Now back home on the mainland it's time to log our 108 finds of the trip.
This one had us looking around for a few minutes but as usual persistence paid off.

Having to go to Perth for a meeting today I thought I would have time to have a quick stop in this park and see if I could locate the cache with out my GPS. Found it without any worries and now that I am more comfortable I'll continue on my way. Who said you need a GPS to play our sport???? TFTC
Nice guns, reminds me of Lone pine. My Grandfarther was a Gunner with 3 field Artillery Brigade, an Original ANZAC. Lest We Forget.
The description more or less says it all - retrieved in full view too! Nothing to see here, we're just examining this lovely tree rather too closely. Move along now...
Back home in Tassie out and about finding caches that have been published scince our last visit and this was one of them. At GZ we made a quick find.
Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.

As we were retrieving this cache it fell to the ground but we are quite sure we have returned it to its original hide. Love the cache's title - yes, you could do all this here. Thanks for the cache Angus88.
Whilst heading south today we made a short stop in Campbell Town. Luckily there was no-one playing, working or fighting when we arrived at this location. The hint focussed our search and after a short hunt, we were able to make a quick find. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks Angus88 for the cache.
Staying at the free camp we were pleased to see these four new caches pop up. Quick find here.
Pit stop in town on our road trip from Hobart to Launceston - spotted a shiny new hide. Pulled up and were about to do our thing when a worker also pulled up to do his thing - read the water meter nearby. Luckily it didn't take long, and we soon spotted the cache. Don't think it was in its original intended state, so we placed it very nearby but as described in the cache notes / hint, as the cache construction suggested the same. We then had a ball trying out the nearby workout stations. TFTC
