Tftc, what a beautiful detour!

We really enjoyed our visit to the Garden and to check out this EC our answers have been sent to the CO. The Bay of Fires should be on every Tassie bucket list. TFTC

Answers have been sent to the CO via geocaching message centre. A non-spoiler photo is attached. A lovely spot, visited on our first foray to The Gardens, while exploring some parts of Tassie we have not yet been to. Thanks for bringing us here. The rocks really do have to be seen to be believed, and are spectacular. We checked out the ones in Binalong Bay too, but the ones here and much more impressive we thought. This is a very well thought out earthcache, highlighting a unique feature and some very cool geological elements. Thanks juc_cacher for the reason to explore and the earth science lesson A favourite point awarded. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------In the spirit of reconciliation we would like to acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of country on which we geocache throughout Australia and their long lasting, and ongoing connections to land, sea and community. We (the pants people) pay our respects to Traditional Elders past and present and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples today.

Have visited this location numerous times over the years. On today's visit we focused on observing our surrounds and completing the tasks required to fulfill the requirements to log this earthcache.Always a great spot to visit, many thanks juc_cacher for creating this earthcahe and highlighting this location.Logging with permission.Adding to our favourites.

Queenslanders heading up the east coast after completing the 3 Capes Walk.Spending 2 nights in St Helens to see the Bay of Fires and cache. What an amazing place this is. Thanks juc cacher for the cache

Big thanks to juc_cacher for creating this cache! Your effort brought an extra spark of excitement to our geocaching quest. This discovery was find number 1,118 for us, marking another memorable moment in our adventure. Living and traveling full-time across Australia in our Coaster Bus, we're always on the lookout for caches to uncover. Currently, we're in Tasmania, planning to explore this beautiful island for around 18 months or so. To see more of our travels, feel free to follow our journey HERE...

[9053] Holidays on Tasmania, day 13. Today we had enough time to explore the magnificent bay of fire. We started with a walk from Binalong Bay to the Balancing Boulder and headed after lunch up to The Gardens. On the way back we stopped for more scenic geocaches, the last geocaching visit for today became the grandfather virtual. Finally, we spent some time at the beach before we returned to our cabin at Pelican Point. This earthcache belonged to our finds today. Answers sent via message center. TFTC!

#2749 This is my day 259, and the longest physical cache find streak so far. I want to see how far I go. I am on a family vacation in Australia, and Tasmania road trip is our main highlight. Today, we drove towards the Bay of Fire and found caches along the way. And, we are here!Thank you for the cache!-crystaloops from Taipei, Taiwan @ February 18, 2024 16:41:14

It was so nice to explore this area with my little family. Lots of lovely photos taken and caches found! Cheers

Yesterday I came out here to do a bit of caching but didnt realise that the phone reception would be so iffy or how many muggles would also be visiting this little spot! Today I was up and at em before the first rooster in town had had its first cuppa! Headlights on, taking it easy down the skinny, windy road, watching for native animals heading home after a big night out, I was hoping to catch a colourful sunrise over the orange rocks, but alas, I had to fish my purple brolly out . The skies were grey but the rocks were on fire. With a light shower of rain making the air smell even fresher, I worked towards answering the question while watching the local fishermen head out in their little boats. They look like corks in a bathtub.Answers sent to CO and approval received.TFTC juc_cacherKeep smiling

Messaged the answers to CO.Had to use MS Edge to log cache. Geocaching seems to not like Firefox, both Firefox on laptop and tablet would both fail to load the log page.

Found on a trip to Tasmania with pineapplegoldy!LWF.Some caches have been signed as "Goldy and Jimmy". Goldy has sent answers and uploaded photos where applicable. TFTC

Goldy and Jimmy are holidaying in Tasmania for a few days. A quick trip away from our regular life to see sights and find caches.I'm aiming to continue my daily streak and fill some Jasmer grid spots. As well as find some challenge caches and as many virtuals as I can.Today we pay our respects to the fallen ANZAC soldiers and all other fallen soldiers around the world. The ultimate sacrifice was made and it is important to remember them.We attended the Remembrance Day Service in Saint Helens to pay our respects. We then made our way to the Bay of Fires for the day, followed by a drive along the east coast to Bicheno.I enjoyed this lesson here. A very well put together EarthCache.I wrote up my answers and I sent them off and a reply was received.Thanks to the effort of the CO for putting this EarthCache together. A favourite point for the nice spot and the lesson.The photo is attached below. (I didn't get my head in the picture though, oops)"They shall grow not old,as we that are left grow old;Age shall not weary them,nor the years condemn.At the going down of the sunand in the morningWe will remember them."**Lest we forget.**Thanks juc_cacher for this EarthCache, which brings Goldy's total find count to 3785 on the 11th of November 2023.

Visiting TBs so they get the full km's before dropping.

We camped nearby last night and are out exploring today. This coastline is spectacular. Answers sent, and pic of somewhere nearby that doesn't give away the answers. Tftc

Answers sent to CO. Such a beautiful and stunning part of the world. TFTC

Nice

Jetstar was having a sale…. in the middle of winter, for a destination further south than I already live. That sounds like a great idea!

So a plan for a 4 night whirlwind tour of the northern part of the state was hatched. I’ve seen lots of this beautiful state, but haven’t found a single cache. With plenty of challenges to tick off, and a long list of targeted caches, this week is the time to turn that around.

It’s the final day for this trip, leaving St Helens for Launceston via more of the coast and then inland through Campbell Town and Ross.

I made it in time to enjoy the sunrise here for a second time. I was the only one here and enjoyed the quiet start to the day.

Thanks juc_cacher for adding this cache to the worldwide collection for us all to enjoy.

Caching around Tasmania. TFTC.
A great stop at this iconic location. Beautiful even on a cool windy day.

Received permission from the CO to log the find after review of required answers. This entire coastline was spectacular and we had great weather for photos and climbing around on the points. Thanks

We continued today our tour in Tasmania, AUS, and thereby searched, found and logged this interesting Earth-Cache.

The weather was - said in one word – simply best. The good hidden caches and the being on holidays kept us the whole day in a good mood.

The cache had good coordinates, and thus was easy to find. The answers were sent.

Thanks to juc_cacher for the generation of this nice cache Bay of Fires (with the proper agenda), for leading us here and for showing us this funny location as well as the ongoing maintenance of this cache.

PS: Please forgive us the uniform log which is needed due to timing problems - if necessary special actions and happenings are there described where they appeared.

Greetings from Germany together with the hope to meet somewhere like event or wood.

Found with Morgothegeo and Sandyofthesea whilst admiring the landscape. Thanks for placing the cache. Beautiful rocks.

In Tassie for March, cutting a lap and finding a few caches along the way.

A very clear example of a geological process and great Earthcache.

Answers sent in for our group (Sandyofthesea, Probsty and I).

What a year Sandyofthesea and I have had. We kitted out the Prado and took off from Perth, Western Australia at the start of April 2022 to travel more of Australia using geocaching as a guide to see the sights. We started with the Nullabour, Eyre and York Peninsulas, the Riverlands, visited family in Victoria and then back in SA it got cold. Flinders and the Oodnadatta Track was amazing and we finally warmed up in Dalhousie Springs. The Alice beckoned and then a change of plan and we ended up tackling the Tanami Track to the Kimberley and Bungles Bungles. Territory Day in Darwin was unhinged - please try and do it! The Gulf, the coast and the car breaker ‘Old Tele Track’ to the top of Cape York. This is a must but it’s not easy! Eventually made it to Brisbane to get some fixes to the car….. let’s see where we end up.

juc_cacher, I found Bay of Fires today. Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache.

Nalezeno společně s Radoshordos během měsíčního výletu do Malajsie, Singapuru, Bruneje a Austrálie, kde byla hlavním cílem celého výletu Tasmánie. Singapore se zároveň stává mojí 39. navštívenou zemí a Austrálie mojí 40. navštívenou zemí.
Keš jsem našel během chvilky společně s Radoshordos. Děkuji za přivedení na další zajímavé místo a za další bod do sbírky.
Zdravím z České republiky.


Found it during a one-month trip together with Radoshordos to Malaysia, Singapore, Brunei and Australia, where Tasmania's was main destination of the whole vacation. Singapore is also becoming my 39th visited country and Australia my 40th visited country.
I found the cash in a moment with Radoshordos. Thank you for bringing me to another interesting place and for the next point to the collection. Greetings from the Czech Republic.

We didn't notice the cache until after but it did make us look twice at one of the photos we took while in the area & that there was a cool red line running around the rock!

One of our targets for the day, end of the line and an Earthcache to seek the answers to. Enjoyed the visit (though there was a smelly dead 'thing' under the rocks near GZ!). Answers to follow shortly.

Day 5 and our outing from Launceston had us heading over to the aptly named Bay Of Fires. There were a couple of sets of roadworks which caught us out and we detoured via Deedle Dim Road. Called in to a closed trout fishing river hoping to spot a trout and saw a second (for this trip) platypus so that was a good start to the day. More great stuff seen, thanks Tasmania.

We had a weeks holiday booked in Tasmania as a way of celebrating mrs capperz's 60th birthday. What can I say but WOW. What an awesome state and was everything we'd seen and heard about this gem of a place. My main PQ had only Earthcaches and Virtuals and aside from an old cache for my missing month stats I only turned the GPS on when we were stopping somewhere anyway, what a great way to tour a place. Managed one complete set of Ad Labs at the airport, and started another 6 adventures with no intention to complete. Over 50 'real' caches were completed and left behind a couple of trackables to continue their journeys.
I will upload the associated pictures and answers over the next few days or so, need to start to make a dent in my finds backlog.
Oh, and thanks to all COs for their hides, much appreciated for this New Zealander.

Camping at Cosy Corner South for a couple of nights so popped up here for a look see and discovered there was an EC here. Bonus. Stunning part of the world.

After a wonderful morning down along the waterfront in Bicheno, we drove north to check out the Bay of Fires. So cool here! Answers sent to cache owner. Thanks for the earthcache juc_cacher.

Managed to get to GZ without mishap, a stunning view of the rocks and the ocean. The garden wasn’t much to see this time of year. Tftc

I was at the Bay of Fires today and checked out this earthcache.
It is a great location for an earthcache and I was really surprised that the seam is so visible.

Beautiful piece of earth. Well worth the stroll along the breach.

Updated shortly, answers sent to the cache owner

Found this Earthcache while on holidays traveling around Tasmania.
Over the last couple of days we've been exploring the east coast.
Upon arrival the seas were looking rather rough and water spray was splashing us a little at GZ. The rocks and colours all around here and in the feature of the earthcache were amazing. Nature sure puts on a display.
We wandered around and examined/ studied the area so we could answer the questions which have been sent to the CO.
Overall, this was a beautiful spot to visit and we’re giving it a favorite point hoping it encourages other to also do the same.
TFTC

What a nice place! Unfortunately the weather wasn't that good and it was raining a little bit. But anyway we could see the very nice colours and enjoyed it.

Thx for showing!

Cheers from the Swiss - vocayakiya

We have recreated a drive we were supposed to do in 2011 but there was so much rain the roads flooded and we spent a week in a flooded Launceston. Today, happily no flooded roads and we have finally seen the Bay of Fires coastline…..which is magnificent! We came here lured by an earthcache and a trad as well as the views but while we had other parts of the coastline totally to ourselves it was like downtown Hobart here…people stomping all over the rocks taking selfies as close to the edge as possible….we didn’t hang around too long. I can’t watch people taking stupid risks! Thanks for the earthcache juc_cacher.

Late log from our holiday last year with my nearly 80yr old father. We all really enjoyed chambering over the rocks.

Huhhh

Amazing spot

Found it, beautiful spot out here at the gardens.

Tasman Trip
GrimRaider and are exploring Tasmania for a couple of days. I love these kind of earthcaches that highlight a geological 'abnormality' that most people don't see or recognise. Such an interesting spot to explore and great views out across the water. Thanks for bringing us here and for the cool lesson juc_cacher

Found with Kittykatch today. Cool spot and interesting geology. TFTC juc_cacher

We managed to visit just before the rain. We had to hurry. What a beautiful and interesting place. TFTC

Awesome spot to visit and see the best of the bay of fires. Spent a good half an hour or more clamouring over the risk S and enjoying the different vistas

A find with friends. Gorgeous and informative.

On a road trip from Hobart to Stanley with my mum over 2 weeks. We visited a number of towns and we were mainly targeting Virtuals and Earthcaches due to the amazing locations they take one to. We did pick up the random traditional, multi, puzzle, wherigo and even a couple letterbox caches whilst travelling.

Today its St Helens to Bridport via Gldstone and South Mount Cameron. Once again we followed some of the interesting geocaches like the Earthcaches and Virtuals to fulfil our day and give us interesting places to visit. The Lil Blue Lake was certainly a surprise for us as we were not expecting such intense colour. Loved this Earthcache, this location is just amazing! Emailed the CO the required information and recieved a nice quick response to log away.

Thanks for placing and mainting this Earthcache juc_cacher

Here travelling Tassie for 10 days with my 2yo toddler and mum. Couldn’t not stop here - such a magnificent spot!
TFTC

Great spot for an earth cache, some very interesting formations in this area! The contrast between the rocks, beach, sea, and sky is very aesthetic too. Tftc!

Found while visiting from Canberra. Another very interesting earth cache. I will send answers. Here’s a photo.

Great spot found the none painted line great earthcache

Thanks for this cache. I don’t know a lot about geology and often I’m bored by the level of detail in earthcaches. But I found this explanation of the rock formations fascinating. A beautiful day spent with family in this pristine piece of the world. I just hope humans continue to protect it and consider things like not walking across areas where shorebirds are breeding - cause even us geocachers leave geotrails sometimes - apparently Hooded Plovers, Fairy Terns, Pied Oystercatchers, Red-Capped Plovers and Little Terns all breed here.

On holidays from Sydney and what better way to explore the local area than to seek out earthcaches. The area is stunning! Learning about how this natural beauty was created is intriguing. TFTC!

Thanks heaps - our second last day in Tasmania before heading back to Brisbane
Have had a wonderful time

Visiting from Townsville and continuing our anti-clockwise loop after a couple of days in Hobart.

Thanks juc_cacher for creating and placing this for us to enjoy.

Another day in St Helens sees us visiting some cache sites in the area, including this Earth Cache close by a traditional cache which we have just visited. Weather changeable, as it has been all week but you get that !
Logging this one, as we have sent our answers via the message system, and are expecting the outcome to be positive. Thanks again for this Earth Cache juc_cacher.

How white is this sand? And the contrast with the rock, blue sky (when the clouds clear out) and the fiery lichen makes this spot unforgettable. So worth the short detour from St Helens and well deserving of a FP for the earthcache placement. Cheers to juc_cacher for highlighting this spot.

Down in the Apple Isle with JACS and TeamARF for a week or so to hunt some caches and traipse about having adventures. With inclement weather approaching we utilised today to grab some along dirt roads. Managed to find a few of differing varieties! A fun day despite the rainy patches! Fab puzzles and wonderful countryside. Awesome caches all round! We are thoroughly enjoying this adventure and grabbing some very well maintained oldies Tftc

I’ve always wanted to visit Bay of Fires and seeing as were close it made sense to just pop up a bit further and check out this Earthcache. After marvelling at natures show we got to the business end of the visit and set about discussing and answering the questions.

A rare day off, thanks to working show day, so I decided to attack certain earth caches around the north east of Tasmania. My target for the moment is to get to 100 earth caches.

What a lovely place. Even the bad weather with the threat of rain could not detract from the great view. The waves were certainly crashing and the leaded sky made it feel like the edge of the world.

This is our second day in the St Helens area. The weather is a little overcast and cool to start with and the ground is still very wet from all the recent rains. Our aim today is to explore the area as much as possible this being our first visit here and also to collect as many geocaches along the way as practical.

We made our way to The Gardens to collect our 16th and 17th caches for the day. What a great area. We explored the rocks and took heaps of photos. It is amazing how different the colours look when the sun comes out. A very well defined track to walk around and lots of birds darting around and a bonus lone pelican sat on a rock, just close enough to get a good view, but far enough away for it to feel safe.

A very interesting Earth Cache it reminded us of some rock formations on Flinders Island. Answers sent to CO . TFTEC

A stunning day at the Bay of Fires today, after some windy weather over the last few days. I have been here many times before being a geocacher, so was nice to come and explore the area with a new focus. Thanks juc_cacher for an educational experience.

Day 1 of our short Tassie adventure and despite being a little out of the way, we couldn't resist visiting The Gardens to see what all the fuss was about. With the sun hanging low the light and colour was amazing. Thank you juc_cacher for bringing us here and helping kick-start the most active caching adventure we have had in 15 months!

Great spot on our re-visit tour of this part of Tasmania. Answers sent to CO.

Great cache and very interesting seam, thanks for highlighting it with this Earth Cache!

Interestingly there was lots of seaweed in the water today when I was at the cache.

This was one area of Tassie I have really wanted to go to and made sure it went on our list of places to visit on our quick trip around. Such a beautiful place, thanks very much for bringing us here juc_cacher. Awarding a FP

Another great earth cache, thoroughly enjoyed it. I am logging in anticipation for my answer to be sufficient. Very windy at the site today but got some great views. TFTC

Cool Earth cache. TFTC!

2 April 2021,hopefully answers are correct. Really love this area and the information regarding the seams is really interesting. Nice to understand how things are formed. Thanks!

What a fabulously interesting and spectacular spot! A treat to be here on the east coast and find an earth cache that brings an immediate focus that makes it even more interesting. TFTC A fave for location too

Thanks for the Earth Cache.

TFTC You have shown us a new place and have helped make geocaching an enjoyable activity.

Answers sent to CO. Logging in anticipation that they will be sufficient. With an afternoon to myself after a few days off grid with my CotE and with no preparatory cache info during those few days, it is good to add some smileys to the map. Thanks juc_cacher.

In perfect summer weather, we visited one of the most remarkable places on earth.
With the sand so white, the rocks so red and the ocean so blue, this place would get our favourite point even if there was no cache here at all.
There was, so I had a closer look around and noted the answers for a few questions while I was admiring everything else.
With my other logging all caught up, and approval for our submition granted, I finally get to say....
TFTC juc_cacher.

Logging in anticipation of our submitted answers being approved.
Thanks so much juc_cacher for bringing us here via this Earthcache.
The colours were amazing, the see such a beautiful colour, the sand so white. It is such a perfect spot to visit.
Wish we could have stayed much longer.

A bucket list location ticked off and an EC - great location.
Thank you juc _cacher, we found your cache on day #13 of our Lap year trip.
Selling up our hobby farm in South Gippsland and putting everything in storage we are now living on the road full time in our caravan and ‘doing a lap’.
Sorry for the generic log, time, data and reception are all factors in the decision to use a copy and paste log, we will always endeavour to leave a photo or two with each log and always leave a favourite point and unique comment(S) where applicable for the truly outstanding caches.
Earth, Virtual, letterbox handmade and Gadget caches are always at the top of the list for us to find.
Thank you for being one of the CO’s who supplied us with a cache to find today.
Cache in good condition.

Windy day but worth of visit. Tftc!

Tagged along to St. Helens. Was awesome seeing the gardens and the east coast in general. We Tasmanians are truely blessed to have a lot of these places relatively easily accessible.

#TFTC

Today we decided to head to St Helens, the plan was to visit the serpentarium, the Gardens & sloopys spa bath virtual. In total we found 1 earthcache, 1 traditional, 1 virtual & 1 GCA trigpoint AND held a python..... so i think it was a pretty successful day really. The Gardens is a beautiful spot thankyou for bringing us here

Hello juc_cacher thank you for the cache

An interesting spot luckily I had a couple of ex- geology students so they had all the answers.
