This one was very well hidden. Scoot got a nice jackjumper bite through his jumper when he was clearing the way for me to access the cache. But really good camouflage, took us a while to find
Anzac Day service had concluded prior to our arrival. Many beautiful wreaths in place. Chilly morning, so we retreated to the vehicle to work the formula. Cache found, well camouflaged and with just a few spaces left to sign. Thanks 63ROOS for creating this multi.
Thanks for this cache
Was a struggle to find how to get to the physical cache
Good clear instructions

Today Zozetta and I headed out to the Claremont area with the aim of finding a few caches. We started the day at Windermere bay then drove towards Granton finding some good caches along the way. We discovered some places that we had never been to before found a good variety of container sizes and types. It was good to be out caching again after two weeks without attempting one.
We had considered attempting this multi a few months ago but decided not to as we didn’t have much time so it was nice to come back today. We arrived the posted coords and began working out the next stage which didn’t take long, though we did have some trouble finding the right information board as the coords were a bit out. At stage two the Gpsr was pointing us towards the carpark but we were able to find the right board and calculate WP3. The coords at WP3 were also about ten metres out but it wasn’t difficult to find the right information and pretty soon we had a set of coordinates for GZ. At GZ the Gpsr wanted us another seven metres away in the rivulet but we were pretty sure we had the right place and so kept looking there. It took a while but I eventually spotted the (very) well hidden cache and we were signing the log. A great multi, which I enjoyed doing.
Thanks for the multi 63ROOS!

Tricky hide at the GZ!! I was looking wide in all the wrong spots but dencoxclan spotted it at last!
Great fun exploring this park that is new to me. Awesome first find on a beautiful sunny day. TFTC!!

5th time lucky! Spent many hours searching! Had to get some hints from CO, should be rated harder, definitely getting a favourite! Very very sneaky! Thanks 63ROOS!
Been searching for this one multiple times after figuring out GZ, is it still here or was I not looking properly? Thanks
Lovely spot we’ve always wanted to explore. Started out here on a hot, sunny, Sunday morning. Lots of dog walkers and duck feeders about at the park. Had to be a bit careful! Found the clues and made our way to GZ for a moderately quick find (for us at least!) thanks for the cache
Hi 63ROOS, and thanks for this nifty multi.
It was starting to look like a non-caching weekend for me, but then a few spare hours presented themselves, so I headed North mostly to target 2 multies, this being the first.
As it turned out, both took a little longer than anticipated, so a nearby trail of other geocaches will have to wait for another day.
Arrived, parked, and then spent way too much time at WP1 looking for A!
Luckily it finally presented itself, and I was soon at WPs 2 and 3 quite quickly.
After another calculation, I had some reasonable looking coordinates, and so I was off.
Arrived at GZ, looked for a bit, widened my search, then returned to where I started searching, and a more methodical and thorough effort paid rewards and I soon added my moniker to the nice dry logsheet.
All's well at GZ.
Thanks for adding to my day, and my caching adventures.
Cheers, EPs.

Took a while to find, it was further away than I expected so I second guessed it a bit but found it in the end, awesome hide to take my sister and her friend to find
After visiting Woolies for a drink then the Reject Shop at Claremont for some Strawberry and Raspberry flavored pencils [big-kid food lol ] i was feeding my face as i did the sign visiting and calculations for the final which was fun [^]
That done i was off on foot to the final, but then half way there i decided to move the GeoMobile to it to save the walk back ha ha
At GZ i was looking here and there for a 'low hanger' but just couldn't spot it. [I was beginning to think i had muffed up a number in the WP's maybe [:o]]
Into past logs for any hints.
There was a hint that kept me looking as it was realized i needed to look harder. I eventually spotted the SO well Camo'd cache
Well done all round... the entire Multi and it's Sneaky-As! Camo A Favourite from me

Today we decided to trek into Hobart and surrounds and find a few more caches that we have not found and to make them a smilie. A very cold, windy and a tad wet but braved the coooooooold weather and rugged up for the occacion.
After working through the waypoints we calculated GZ and parked nearby. There were a few fishing muggles about and catching fish too! To start with I could not find the cache hide,so went back to the car and Mrs "T" read previous logs. We revisited the area and finally found the cache, a great cammo!
Cache and contents were in good condition.
Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.

There's not a lot of time before dark to get out with Miss3B these days. Got to WP1 last night and were accosted by a hoard of ravenous and brave ducks.
They left us alone while we went to WP2 and by WP 3 were far behind. They regrouped as we came back up to centre to find gz.
It was getting dark rapidly though and I didn't realise the path wasn't direct to gz. We did enjoy walking the nearby paths, seeing shelters and then walking back to the car for a promised swing before we drove to gz.
Arrived with light failing and had some hope reserved for a find but instead we found Jesus worthy thorns. Figured a torch was too conspicuous so left and returned today.
Went straight to gz and couldn't see anything. Checked the nearby spots and nothing. Went back to gz for another closer look and I finally spotted the cache in its sneaky spot.
Miss3B was as thrilled as I was and I quickly signed the log. Time to check out some sleepy ducks and walk up to the nearby bridge before a lap and back to the car.

Found while taking geobub to the park. I was ditched by the pram pushers (they had bought cold things after all) when I realised the detour required to get to GZ but soon enough the cache was in hand. Thanks for the exercise!
First attempt at a ‘Multi-Cache’... loved the thrill of the chase!! Great placement
Out with the family exploring caches around Austin's Ferry and Claremont today. Collected the info from each of the waypoints and made the (much longer) walk to the final. At GZ, we searched around the likely area but no luck. We expanded our search to the nearby two likely places but also no luck. After about 15 minutes of searching we went back to the original spot and found it. How did we not see it the first time?! TFTC
All good!!
ready go and have a fun..
Remember washing a hand or hand sanitiser before go...
cheers

After dropping off my COTE at her favorite craft shop (did anyone day this activity was cheap to engage in? ) I had some freedom to follow up on this, the nearest cache. All the numbers came together once I reminded myself of some basic mathematic facts. Co-ords had me correctly located, but with cache not wanting to reveal itself. Past logs had me widening the search unnecessarily before I reminded myself to trust the CO and the GPSr. This resulted in CIH, SL and a satisfied Gyrosweeper. TFTC 63ROOS
I did the leg work for this multi not long after it came out. But I didn't find it. Came back for another go only to find it was likely missing. Came back again, still didn't find. Re-use the leg work - yes all correct. Read a recent log suggesting that the coordsfor the final were a little bit off. Came back today and tried "next door" and what do you know there it is. Evidently my great grandfather who was (amongst other things) a wireless engineer enlisted here at Claremont.

Had collected the coordinates for this little multi a few months ago and when I arrived at GZ thought I must have done some calculations wrong but after reading the last couple of activity logs I headed back to GZ this afternoon and found the camo cache hanging around. Thanks 63Roos for another enjoyable multi in an area where the swans and ducks like to paddle and nest.
999HK and myself were running support crew and photographer for our team whom were running the Cadbury Marathon. During moments quiet time we were rushing off to collect the local geocaches.
After cheering on the runners who were running past the half way point for the Full Marathon runners and those Half runners who were now almost finished, we saw my wife. 99HK then ran a kilometer with her to assist her keeping strong.
Afterwards to strolled to this final and quietly signed the log file. Certainly at interesting area.

Down to Hobart from Launceston with gridge98 we stopped to find this one. I am only catchup on logs from last year now apologies for the late log.

This was an odd multi, we found as we went around that the co ords for each stage were 10-15m out. Although we still found the info. After finding the last bit we soon calculated a final. Hmm that seems wrong. A check again and we got the same numbers. Off we went to GZ, we put down the GPS as the last few were a bit out, sure enough the cache was found in a logical spot 11m from GZ.
I headed down to Hobart for a an overnight trip with nettieknows, with a bit of a road trip on the cards we stopped along the way to pick up a few caches here and there.
All the caches found were in good condition.

Will spend a cupple of days on the beautiful island of Tasmania. Found this Box after quite a while searching for it! Nice hide/camo! Last log from 21.09.19. Cache is in perfect condition.
Vielen Dank fürs legen und pflegen und beste Grüße aus Leipzig!
Thanks for hiding and many greetings from Leipzig/Germany!

In the area on this cold day. Decided to do some caching while the weather was ok. Did the quick multi and got to GZ and searched for quite some time but came up empty. Paf, who said we were correct. We did however, found a black plastic tie and then looked for anything on the ground. With permission from the CO we replaced the container with a "similar" maybe slightly smaller container, that has camo tape around it. Hope it lasts longer.

Making the most of a short school day, and one of the few daylight savings days left. We found this one as the air started to turn cold.
Well I found it, th kids were now interested in chasing birds

Hi 63ROOS
After this morning's rain, decided that a few cache finds were in order
This cache was one of them:
A quick find was made at GZ
No muggles here today
I found the co-ordinates to be very good
Sainted the cache at 1429 hours
I have walked these grounds before looking for other caches - an old sea run trout fishing area as well - always enjoy the location
TFTC and cheers

Hello 63ROOS thank you for the cache.
All was going very well going from WP to get the information and then to the closest shaded seat to work out the next WP, as it was hot out in the sun.
I did have to couple of attempt at one of the signs as I miss read the listing.
On the way to the final location I noticed Budgietas following me, so we both went for a walked to GZ where he found it.

Well, this might have to be one of the easiest multi's I have done....
I arrived at the parking location, and saw a very familiar beard walking across the paddock below me..... Oh, He has worked out the end, let's follow him. Walked after the figure and slowly caught up with Alby who had just completed the first two parts of the Multi, So working off his facts we walked together to the GZ and found the cache together. A great chat was had about Trigs, puzzles, GPS units and all sorts of things.
TFTC, and thanks for the chat and discussion Alby

A nice multi in an area that had been upgraded since I was last here. Nice to see caches appearing here again. TFTM
Very close to home for us, so no worries with the waypoints or GZ. Thanks for the cache 63ROOS
Despite the quite warm conditions in the middle of yhe day, there were fsmilies playing on the equipment. Data collection at each each waypoint was straightforward. Accurate coordinates and the hint led to a quick find at GZ. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks 63ROOS for the cache in an interesting memorial park.
Out caching with the Goose again as is the norm on a Saturday, we head to this area to clean up a few.
Now the goose has a bit of a fetish for multis, me i can take or leave them but do enjoy a good one.
Well this one was a good one with a nice area to discover and clear instructions and formula that followed BODMAS!
Picture attached of the goose with his kind
Thanks for a great cache, have a fav point.

Thank you 63ROOS for this multi. Info at each waypoint was gathered quickly by the three us. Then it was the bear who made the find at GZ.
As we headed north stainless steel rat and I stopped here to work out this multi. I'm sure I remember finding a cache a few years ago near GZ. It must be archived now.
We worked through each stage of the multi carefully and checked our workings and found each way point easily with no problems. At GZ once the GPS settled we spotted the cache quickly and signed our names.
Thanks for a good multi 63ROOS, this is a lovely area and I enjoyed the walk and the birdlife.

out and about with the Rafas caching, a multi was in our back yard so it was found, saw it when it was published but could not get there until today. TFTC TNLN log dry nice area but dry due to the season.
Thanks for the multicache 63ROOS. The GeoGSP and I headed out with RLD4963 to search for this one on a nice cool morning. This was an interesting multi in an area the GeoGSP and I had not visited before. With all info collected we calculated GZ and headed off. A nice quick find. Cheers, and yes like the first log - taxi's in the car park...must be a local waiting spot for them.
Yay, FTF. I did not notice the notification until, what I thought would be too late. When I woke up this morning I noticed it had not been found yet. So up and out as quickly as possible and to the posted coords. There was a car in the car park - "too late" I thinks, but it is a taxi. Then other cars start to turn up as I gather info, but they all sit there.
GZ is an really nice place to see the rising sun. Found the cache quickly, but lingered around to take the ambience in.
