Canary Cottage Newstead, Tasmania, Australia

This one took longer than it should have to locate due to all the fallen trees around. Luckily the host is in good shape still. TFTC this would have been rather good in its prime

Cute little hide. No TB here. Lovely su my mining for a walk. TFTC and SL at 7:40am.

Cute hide, logbook etc damp but still okay to write in. TFTC

This was the first time I had seen a thing like that

Super cute hide!Logbook is a little damp but still good

Nice easy cache ! Forgot my pen so wasnt able to sign the log

We came Here because of the favourites and it was simply lovely. My daughter wishes me to write PRICKLES!!! And I did get stuck in them several times! Worth the trip.

this has to be one of my favourite cases of all time. The amount of effort that it takes to put these cashes together and a lot of respect from me at least really glad that we came out here to get these cashes and found this hidden gem. TFTC

A lovely cache but prickly collection

Beautiful cache, well done and thank you.

Great spot, very creative!

Cool spot! Pretty walk. Fun hide. Careful of snakes!

Love this one

Wonderful cache for our 150th. Did brave wet shoes and socks to get there, but still very accessible.

Love creativity when it comes to geos.

Really cool hide!!

Just got premium yesterday so we could find this amazing cache. What a cool find!! Thank you so much for this one. FP from us. Geopoodle loved it.

Sorted out some AdLab stages this morning and now trying a few caches around Hobblers Bridge area. We can see why this one gets favourites, so take one from us as well. This makes the geocaching adventures worthwhile. Thankyou DaryVafder.

Tftc cool one
100% wouldn't recommend thongs

Out for a wander around this park today gathering the caches here.
Found this one after a short look around. Loved the Canary Cottage!

Stopped to have some muffins on the way to this cache which went down very well. Initially thought it was on the other side of the path but once we looked the correct side we soon found what we were looking for. TFTC

"That is such a beautiful birdhouse" my son said. A nice little place for a slow stroll.

Placed back up higher and replaced wet log added some small swaps

TFTC. Thank you for Maintaining the cache for your enjoyment. Taking Molly the geodog for a walk

Awesome but it’s been broken need some maintenance and a new book as the one provided is soaked

Hahah very cute, good idea !! ️

TFTC! Logbook was too wet to sign, but really great camouflage!

Good find

Very cool cache thanks for the find, logbook very wet

This geocacher reported that the container is damaged.

TFTC It was lying on ground and log was quite wet. Tried to hang up in tree. It may not stay there.

Very wet needs a new log and elevating TFTC

Thanks for the cache DaryVafder.
Spending the night in Launceston with the GeoGSP and after spending a lot of the afternoon in the car driving up from Hobart, I was keen to take the GeoGSP for a walk before tea. The horrible weather was gone, and the clouds parted, but it was still quite cool.
As I wanted to have a decent walk, we parked at the northern end of the track and headed south, the track was very wet! But the caches we found along the way were worth it.
OK, this one is my absolute favourite of the caches I've found in this area, and there is some stiff competition. Thank you so much for the effort and work you have put into your cache containers. Another favourite from me!

Wow, great little cache, dropped a TB and rewarded you wait a FP

Found with gus and tricky. Had wet feet after the path getting to it was under water. Should have come from the other direction. Oh well, all in the fun of geocaching. Cute cache. Loved it. Thanks for the hide.

Tftc found with Addison

Found a bunch of cable ties. No cache

Oops looked a little harder and it was there. Neat cache exploring new part of town today. Love the off leash park here. Thanks for the cache

very cute amongst the paperbarks. Good construction. Worth a favourite

A lovely walk around the reserve which Murder(4paws) was really enjoying.
Found the cottage on the ground....looks as if it gets really wet at ground level so put the cottage into a tree fork about knee high.
A great container with cache in top condition...gets a fav too.
Many tft exc cache....cheers ST.

We have caches along this trail many times over the years. Today Mr Beetle rode the first part of the track looking for this one and two others.
A successful mission and all three were found quickly.
Thanks and a favourite point for a cute container.

So cute. Thanks!

Great one Thank you for the cache from GeoMaggie and her sidekick Bonnie.

After spending a night in Launceston with my daughters we set out shopping in the morning we still had time later in the day so now it was my time to s=find some caches so was able to get 4 in this area without them complaing to much!

Easy find Loved it Have given a FP

Thanks DaryVafder for placing this cache.

TFTC

Cute tftc

Just dipping in my Tb

Beauty. TFTC. Found on our TASMANIA ALL OVER journey. Join us on Facebook page of that name.

Found! TFTC

Found it! Fantastic cache idea - Thanks

Visited to drop TB.

Checked in here today all is well with this cottage, dropped off two tbs to continue their journey

Why can’t they all be like this DaryVafder we love your geocaches thanks for a lovely stroll with the kids and husband 1 step closer to 100 finds since we joined in October

I love this cache, buuuut i kinda have to anyway thankssss muuuumm

Yes, definitely worth a FP from us. Kutgw

We're currently having a bit of a getaway in Launceston, and figured today would be a great day to try to track down a few caches. We were hoping to find a scenic spot with a few caches we hadn't yet tracked down, and the North Esk Trail seemed to fit the bill perfectly!

Following our wander north along the trail from the carpark, we figured we might as well complete the experience while in the area and return via the other leg of the loop - and this cache of course!

We were definitely glad to make the detour - it's a different (and fascinating) environment there compared to the rest of the trail! Eventually we made it to the GZ, where a short way off the track we found a well-camouflaged and well-constructed cache. What a great container!

Thanks for showing us this lovely spot, and for a fun cache container!

On a walk along the river with nataliec1234 and say this had a few favourites and had to check it out, it did not disappoint! Thanks for an amazing cache

I saw this one appear on the map when I upgraded to Premium prior to our overseas trip, or while we were away. In either case, time, commitments and distance prevented me from "bagging" it. From previous comments, I was expecting a special construction and I was not disappointed. Well done Daryvafter! I left my calling card and dropped a TB. A great afternoon outing on the geo-cycle in cool clear weather under blue skies.

Tftc

Nice quick find tftc

Found thank you for the cache.

Easy find as we meandered along the river! TFTC.

So cute

Found myself in the area and a little time on my hands. An exceptional cache in terms of camouflage and construction, Very nicely done and worthy of a favourite point.. thanks..!!

Wandered the pathways of this park which had the bonus of several caches in it. Found this nicely crafted one in it's secluded home with no problems. Extracted the log, signed and replaced as found.
Many thanks for the fun find and for placing and maintaining this cache DaryVafder.

Spotted by eagle eyed geoson.

Well hidden and camouflaged

Awesome sunny day for a find.

Camped at Launceston, out around town today for a few caches. Quick find, good coordinates. Cache all good. Favourite point for cache construction.TFTC

I've found a few using the same idea. This would be in the better implementations.

Well camouflaged.

Ok I had heard about this cache and it is very cool.
Found with CatCasper and fatinc.
Haven't cached for a while.
Tftc.

Dunno why but whenever I see your name DaryVafder, I read it as "Darf Vader" We like your style though, very crafty! Fav point for all the effort it took. TFTC.

Day 2 of our Launceston trip has us making an early start. Our first stop is Cataract Gorge. We take the easy way there and the steeper way out. After breakfast we do a few caches around town. We then make our way to Hobler's Bridge Reserve where DaryVafder had told us we could find a couple of her caches...this was the first.

We loved the effort that the CO had put into this...a definite fave...TFTC

Good one

Hi Dary
This became my 21st find and last for the day
It was great to come from "Owlivia" to this cache and have two EXCELLENT cache containers in a row - well done and thanks
Plenty of muggles walking by while I was here
One had a dog and I was hiding so no-one would see me and so find your cache; BUT you can't fool a pooch - it stood there looking into the tea tree knowing full well I was there; luckily he stayed outside the hiding area and went away as its owner walked by - great fun!
Sainted the cache at 1651 hours
Gets a favourite point from me
Now of to the Jail House Grill for dinner before retirement at the Grand Chancellor
TFTC and cheers

What a great little cache container. Cheers and TFTC!

May the way of the Hero lead to the Trif-... Cache!

I cache your reality and substitute my own! TFTC.

Great hide. Knocked on the front door and entry freely given. Had nothing to leave but the cache and contents are in great condition. TFTC.

Found after working the morning in Launceston and with some time to kill.

Thanks for the diversion

Now how good is this! Great hide, love the effort put in to the whole hide.

Hello DaryVafder thank you for the cache.

I would say this was the best cache of the trip well done. A nice quick find.

I wanted to find some caches so I could get some Hidden Creatures souvenirs that I can proudly display on my profile page that no one will see.
I travelled up from Hobart for this search.

What a great cache! Even a muggle missed me signing the log!
TFTC

What a great hide in more ways than one, I saw something that didn't really look out of place but when I went round to have a look, there it was. TFTC.

Found on a walk with the dog. Found the cleverly put together hidey hole and signed the log. What a cool find TFTC

What a cute cache - gets a fav from us. TFTC

Checked in here today, cleaned out the cache and all is still good here

Wooohooo number 90. Awesome cache first time walked here with Geodaughter, took bouncy bill ball, replaced with owl.

Thank you for the cache

Should I 'tweet' a find on this cache ?? [:o]
Nah !!
I don't even have an online account [^]

So as the rain gently fell on GZ,
I poked around for any sign of this canary !!
Oh there's one

And in its nest a cache find was hatched [^]

TFTC

Fave dance time !!

Found it. So cute.

Got a free Ear piercing from a near by black berry bush. All ok TFTC

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

An easy find at GZ and adding to our favourites.

Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.

This is such a great little walk and it's fantastic that the area is being used by so many people, even though some get in the way of finding caches.
Loving the cute little hideaway.
