Oasis in a Town Shearwater, Tasmania, Australia

I am regretfully archiving this cache since unfortunately there has been no action to restore the cache or communication from the cache owner demodonk10 requesting additional time, within the time frame requested in the last reviewer note, and it appears that the cache has been abandoned.

###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

Second time we’ve been looking for this one. Still no go! Wonder if it had been moved by council??

This one was a fail. Considering the difficulty this one shouldn't be too difficult. Looked in all the obvious places as per the hint - could have expanded the search area but that would have meant trampling the beautiful native garden here. I'm sure that wasn't the intention of the CO, so think this one needs to be checked.

This geocacher reported that the cache might be missing.

Our first attempt at Geocaching today. Did not find this one.

Had another look, still no joy.

Had a good look but couldn't find it.

Had a good look but no luck with this one.

Found it

Yes

Great spot for a picnic table. Yes cache needs attention but all still dry inside.

Had a good look, but couldn't find it.
We'll be back.

Left Wally the Wombat, he has to get to Boston.

Also saw blue tongue lizard. Great spot. Container needs updating.

Thanks!

We left some lollies

Very tricky

Well hidden. heaps of trinkets. Lovely find.

Found thank you for placing and maintaining the cache for our enjoyment.

This geocacher reported that the container is damaged.

Found quickly before dusk on New Year’s Day.

It was nice to see a little reserve filled with Australia’s native plants and animals. Unfortunately, there was broken glass on the way to GZ and the place could do with a clean.

It was also nice to see a cache with swappables, although it won’t last long, since the container is broken and water can easily get in. Other than that, the cache was in good condition.

Find #4621. Found @ 20:54 with The Good Lady Wife

We're on a family holiday to the Apple Isle and what better activity to do as a family than find some caches... except that the rest of the family aren't really into caching. Oh well, at least TGLW comes along for the walks.

The Good Lady Wife and I went for a walk around the area that we are staying in to collect the local caches, and this was the second. As we approached the location, we spotted a collective of local muggles exercising their geo-woofers. As we got closer to the location, they fortunately disbursed so I could look in peace. Not that I needed t look for very long. The cache was found pretty quickly.

The lid is a bit damaged and although the log was dry when I got to it, it shows signs of being wet in the past. Maybe the container could do with some TLC.

Took nothing, left nothing, signed log and visited some trackables.
Thanks for the cache demodonk10

Rocky topic that one..

Nice picnic spot

We are staying at Shearwater for the first week of our 3-week Tasmanian adventure so as opportunities present themselves, I'm making sure I see the local area (via my geo-map) as well as attractions further afield.

A straightforward find here while on an early recce of the area, and I liked that I was shielded from the view of the surrounding houses while I did my business. Thanks for the smiley demondonk10.

Nice little oasis in the middle of the suburb. Kutgw

Nice little hide - container has a crack in it, and a bit of water. We dried it out, took out a few items that were rusty and replaced them with others that will hopefully weather the moisture a bit better. Nice little place for a picnic and wouldnt have found it if it werent for the cache. TFTC

Easy and quick find. Found yesterday. Thanks!

After checking in at our accommodation & picking up some essential supplies for our stay we couldn't resist looking for a few local caches.
This was our final stop for the afternoon - yes it is an attractive oasis!

Thanks to 'demodonk10' for placing this cache on the geo-gameboard.

On our trip trough Tassie we come to this nice place.
After a short search we can find the cache.
Thank you and greetings from Germany send Moorhelmi

Little oasis

A good place to place a cache. Here for a week from Bendigo. Thanks

In Tasmania for my grandfather's funeral. TFTC Showed a muggle friend who lives very close what geocaching is. This was our only cache find on the whole very short trip. Here with jerrabomb and Lego Lad.

Grandfather's funeral did not leave me in the mood for caching. Grabbed this one in a quiet day after the funeral. TFTC

Cant fine it

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.

Dropping off a travel bug before the end of the year. Found this after search about a bit but eventually found the well hidden container. Spent some time drying everything out before replacing with a travel bug.

Thanks demodonk10 for placing the cache for us to find and doing the maintenance to keep it in play.

Took a bit of a search to find. The cache does not seal properly and there was water inside.

Ah yes, the good old hide it under a rock

Went away and read the clue once I had web access. Thanks for the cache.

Not this time .

After a visit to the beach I stopped by here with a couple of friends and made a find after about 10 minutes of searching. TFTC

Tassie Trip Day Three

Off a little earlier than yesterday we began with the last of the outer Octagon and eventually we complete the outer. After some consultation with the CO on some of the inner figures we returned after lunch to collect the remaining Inner Octogon prizes. After an unsuccessful attempt at the numbers of the Octagon final we decided to proceed to Port Sorell to collect a few more cache before calling it a day.

It was an oasis however not quite the sort of area i would call and oasis but a very nice spot to sit and take in the area with its sounds and smells.

Thanks for the cache demodonk 10 for bring us to this wonderful spot.

Found on a previous visit to northern Tasmania on July but forgot to log

TFTC.

In Tassie for a few days with 6hinemoa2 for some fun caching in the Southern state. A lovely walk and a quick find. Thanks demodonk 10

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 – detour – never!
Yes it was a little oasis in town. Found after a little search.

Found on a Geopicnic with SScharlie and Lizziejj.

Rock? Which rock, oh that rock! Would be nice to sit here with a coffee and a book if I lived nearby TFTC

Great place. TFTC

Found with the geo son during a morning ride around Port Sorrell. Wouldn't mind creating a few of these oases back at home. Many thanks demodonk10

Hi demodonk10

We had muggle central, the garbo was picking up bins as the locals were rounding up their empty bins. All the while nobody took any notice of us stomping around in the gardens. Good hide. thanks demondonk10

Hawley find 4 for us!

Nice hiding spot and hidden in a very pleasant spot to sit and take in nature

This search actually took a while and in the end the container was probably about 3-4 m away from where the GPS was consistently indication GZ to be. Not a lot of life although there was the postie again. We ended up chatting to a local on his morning walk for a few minutes. Nice secluded location. TFTC

A wander around the port this arvo took me to this hidden away park
Tiny isn't it
Yet surrounded by houses the foliage provided plenty of protection from prying muggle eyes [^]

The cache was soon tracked down,
cowering under its seemingly muggle proof camo

TFTC and tour of the 'burbs'

Back in Tassie finding caches that have been published since our visit.

Today we explored Shearwater and Hawley Beach picking up a few caches on the way and this was one of them. Took some time but Mr "T" came up with the goods.

Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.

Found this little blighter eventually whilst visiting my cousin in Shearwater. Thanks for placing this cache for us to find. TNLN SL

Easy find.
Another beautiful day with my beautiful geowife. TFTC

Easy find. TFTC

Rode past here and even though we didn't have a GPS we decided to stop for a look. The 'oasis' was bigger than we expected but it didn't take too long to unearth this 'treasure'. Pity all caches weren't this muggle free. Have been trying for the one at the Port Sorell jetty too but that's nigh impossible at this time of year. Thanks.

Peaceful place. Not too tricky.

Easy find cache is in good condition TFTC

TFTC!

Couldn’t find anything, basically searched the whole island.

Beautiful round about. Cheers & TFTC
