Brady's Boulder Notley Hills, Tasmania, Australia
By dankpig on 06-Apr-17. Waypoint GC73C9T

cache has had it's run, sounds like it is in need of TLC, however, regrettably am spending too much time in the south and in Victoria so am not in a position where I can perform maintenance, time for this one to die.. thanks Brady for the history..

TFTC rather wet

Awesome place to stretch the legs and get the heart pumping! Great spot for a cache, walked past it initially. Unfortunately the log was too soggy to write on and had a pen that’s on its last legs, so I wasn’t able to properly log it. Tftc

Went for a evening walk along the trail and on the up stopped here to find this cache. Unfortunately the container is wet inside and I just managed to sign the logbook. A maintenance would be a good idea.

Be meaning to explore this area for a while.
Beautiful spot exploring with kids. While camping in area. TFTC.

Beautiful area. TFTC

Nice one.

Awesome walking track thanks

Tftc

Grabbed this one at the end of the loop, which was relatively quick given it’s close to the path.

We are caching our way from Launceston to Devenport. We took the opportunity to stretch our legs in this beautiful reserve. TFTC dankpig

Down in Tassie for a break before Christmas and continuing our travels around the country, wow the countryside is absolutely glorious. Happy to say we came up trumps here and walked away with a smiley TFTC

Quick diversion on the way through to NW coast. Walked from the carpark to get this hide - but regretted not having appropriate footwear to do the full circuit, see the gorge, and collect the other cache in the area. One for next time. Thank you

Great hide!

While up North chasing GCA caches for the Battleship games we stopped to find this cache. A quick find with the aid of the hint. Nice to see a large container. TFTC

Nice cache cool spot. Tftc

This was an enjoyable little stroll, even if my tribe complained about the hill on the way out. Haha!

Found the cache without a hassle, left some scribble and replaced all as found. Great to find a good sized cache.

Thanks for the smiley dankpig

Quick find after the stunning loop walk
Have a fav for the walk

It was great to return to a favourite track today !

Beautiful fungi on the track.

Quick and easy

Thanks for the find

With an easing of Covid-19 restrictions, the reserve is open once again and the cache is enabled and back in play.. thanks..!!

The Notley Fern Gorge State Reserve has been closed in line with COVID-19 social distancing policy of the Tasmanian Government with the closure of reserves and national parks. Will enable this cache when the reserve reopens.. thanks..!!

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

Passing through the area and found your cache along the way.

We always enjoy visiting this location, a traquil spot today. Cache and contents were in good condition.

Thanks dankpig for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.

Took a while to get back into the area. A beautiful summer’s day and home alone with a little time on my hands. A leisurely drive had me arriving at the Reserve. Cache rebuilt and replaced and good to go.. thanks..!!

Would like to keep this cache in play, request another month or so to get into the area to replace.

Recently muggled, will endeavour to replace in the next month or so.. dan

Unfortunately didn't find this one. Perhaps I was cache blind but I didn't feel comfortable moving all the rocks too much. Looked in the likely spots and then had to move on. Will just have to come back!

We're currently spending a lazy couple of days in Launceston, hanging out with friends and doing a little caching on the side. Today we set out with SonOfSteel to explore Notley Gorge, and pick up a few caches along the way.

Upon arriving at Notley Gorge, we decided to do the circuit anti-clockwise. As such, this was the first cache we found upon setting out. It was an easy walk to the GZ, and the cache was easily found right where we expected it to be.

Based on the surroundings along the way, we were definitely keen to see what the rest of the journey would bring! What a wonderful place!

Thanks for providing us a reason to come visit the gorge - chances are, we would never have known about it if it wasn't for the caches!

Found this fun little hide while out for a walk around this lovely area, thanks for a fun cache

A nice walk today although a little chilly TNLN TFTC

Found it.

Beautiful walk with the kids for the school holidays. Cache in excellent condition with great swaps. Will move the TB along...

Such beautiful germs and massive trees along this walk. The hint was appreciated, Eben so I thought I might have to move boulders! But no, the cache was fairly easily extracted.
Many thanks for the cache!

Tftc. Glad to finally find it as we had to give up on the other cache on this walk

Tftc

A beautiful spot. TFTC

Found after a little search... make sure u put the lid back on properly though cause it was half open when we found it...

Nice and easy

Almost forgot to log it..
Enjoy the loop walk through the forest.
Nice hide
Thanks for bring me here and cache.

We're down here on holidays from Qld at the moment.
Today were exploring around the northern area's of Launceston.
We loved the area here and looking at all the various types of ferns in this reserve was amazing.
At GZ we soon tracked the right spot down and found the cache no worries.

I wandered past Brady's Boulder today

Cache found,
I wandered onwards into the ferny hell [:o]

Hi there dankpig.

We found your cache **"Brady's Boulder"** at 12:28:00 PM today. (This brings our total find count to 18596).

The plan today was to log the caches in Notley Gorge and of course to find a few more caches, using the "next closest" method on the way to and from the gorge.

###Thanks for not placing an eclipse tin or a 200ml Sistema here. Once upon a time caches seemed to be "regular" sized,and well stocked with goodies for kids to swap. Nowadays it seems like every other cache is small and devoid anything to induce children to enjoy the hunt. It made us feel really good to find this cache in a "special" place.###

We ended up finding a variety of container types and sizes on our journey & had an absolutely wonderful day. We found 8 caches (& DNF'd 0).

Thank you for placing this cache here, without geocaching as our guide we would never have found so many interesting places to visit on our nomadic wander around Australia.

**Cache Condition:** The container and log book are in good shape.
**Coordinate Accuracy:** We found the cache around 7m from where the GPS said we should be looking.
**Took:** Nothing.
**Left:** Smiley Badge.

Thanks for the hunt today,

Regards

Ian & Penny.

This is a beautiful reserve I’ve been here before for a walk but come back today to get the caches! TFTC

Lots of rocks to trick us. Eventually found it easily

Tftc haven't been here for years

Great to do this circuit again and a nice easy find to start the day! TFTC.

Have been here before but there were no caches around, after playing in glangarry bush maze we thought we might grab these two newer caches in the area. Loved this one it was so clean & lovely full of goodies and in a great easy spot! Tftc dankpig onto the next!

Quick find on the way to the other Brady cache. Cache all good. Been around these tracks some 10 yrs ago now. Always great to revisit...many thanks for the cache Dankpig...cheers ST.

We looked for this cache a few days ago nut without success. The CO chevked and confirmed that it had ben muggled and then replaced the cache. Sincere thanks dankpig for your prompt action - it was greatly appreciated. Today we returned and made a quick find. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks dankpig for the cache and your high quality maintenance.

Thanks 2y's for the dnf and info. Attended to find that the hide had been destroyed and cache container gone / muggled!!. Have rebuilt and replaced the cache, good to go.. thanks..!!

Today we went into Notley Gorge to look for two caches. We found the other one but even after about 50 minutes of searching, we could not locate the Brady's Boulder cache. Both our GPS units were a little erratic - we could be standing at a point which indicated that we weer 1m from GZ then a minute later and without moving, they would indicate that we were 12m from GZ. There must be severe GPS signal reflections in the area. As we experiencing these issues, we widened our search area out to 15m but still no joy. The other concern was that there had been considerable movement of rock at a location very close to that described in the hint. We think that this one might need checking.

Hi dankpig
Had an unexpected trip to Launceston for a family bereavement and today I took a drive to look around and to gather some caches as we went.
This was the seventh find of the day.
It was Sainted at 1344hrs.
Great spot - thanks for bringing me here.
Cheers and thanks for the cache

First find in long over twelve months with the geowife and geobaby!

A relatively easy find on a great walk. We walk here fairly frequently and always manage a couple of trips at this time of year to check out the fungi. Nice to add some geocaching into the mix. TFTC.

Found on a photography group trip to find fungi. TFTC

Gevonden op onze rondreis op Tassie.

Hard to resist two new caches in a beautiful location like Notley Fern Gorge. Was a nice mild morning, perfect for a leasurly hike around the track, so I took a slight diversion on the way down the to coast this morning to pick them up.
Didn't take long to find this one, loved the container.
Was very surprised to find the log book empty, so FTF was a bonus.
Then it was off down the hill to find the next one.

Cheers

My second STF today. Gorgeous gorge but the rain will stop me going in search of the other geocache in the area. A bit slippery for my legs. The best stocked cache I have seen in a long while. TFTC
