we didn't find it. Because we are not allowed on the field on someones property that's why we didn't find it.
Today we went out for a nice country drive and to find caches along the way. It was a much nicer day weather wise which meant our photos were also a lot more summery.The scenery around Wynyard is pretty nice.Yes a rather splendid view TFTC
Mr Parko found after a quick search between muggle visitors. It certainly is a view to die for. Thanks for bringing us here BarDar (BAD)
Took us longer than it should have cos we were looking in the wrong place, TFTC!
Thanks BarDar (BAD)for a great location. Clever hide. We added a new logbook and also reattached as wire had rusted through.
Caching around Tasmania. TFTC.
The ring holding the cache on is very rusted. Careful it doesn't break.

While on a day trip up this way to see the tulips we called in and found this cache.
Cool spot and great views!

Partner found it before I even left the car tftc beautiful spot, cache requires new log
I was looking at everywhere but where it was a great little hiding spot had to wait for tourists to pass though
Beautiful spot, stopped by on our way from the lighthouse to Alchemia Distillery. Spent far too much time crawling around on the platform with my head upside down. The “don’t look too hard” comment really helped. TFTC Alex and Sarah - Bris, QLD
On way back from a great coffee at Sisters Creek, what a great hidden gem this road back to Wynyard!! Well worth the drive. TFTC
This is the second time looking for this one - abandoned last time as it started raining. But it still took quite a while. After crawling the length of the platform I was standing there considering giving up and then just saw it! However, a beautiful place to spend some time so TFTC .
Our GZ was showing out in the field but we thought surely not. Once we realised it was a nano we were looking for, the cache was quickly found

Exploring around Wynyard for the first time today and decided to collect some caches. Luckily this was a quick find as the weather was violent. Not much of a view today unfortunately. TFTC
Having a caching day out in and around Wynyard. This truly is the view to die for ! I've seen some absolutely stunning sunsets in this vicinity over Rocky Cape and beyond. Mrs rhubarbroad did the honours here. All good with carful extraction and careful rollup for replacement. TFTC BarDar
Our smallest find ever! Son almost dropped it in the grass, that would have increased the difficulty! Great find, thank you!
A nicely hidden cache, but my GPS had me slightly closer to the water. This can happen of course with variations. The view is great and certainly needs to be a cache here.

3 days off from work, and Geo Kid O joined me on a journey to Stanley and then down along the western explorer road towards Corinna. We have a great time finding a number of caches and driving a road I had not travelled on before.
The Western Explorer road was closed for a while and recently had been reopened with a new bridge near Balfour. Some very interesting sights along the way, with part of the road feeling more like a forest track, and other parts felt like a place where no one else has gone in the past, other than on the road. The open button grass plains were amazing along with the mountain views.
We stayed in Stanely, and the caches in and around Stanely were very good, including one walk to the top of the Nut. Gee that is a steep 400 metre walk.
Thank you for the cache which was part of our journey

Thanks for the cache BarDar (BAD).
The GeoGSP and I had been up since sunrise for an early tip-toe through some tulips! After grabbing a coffee and some food, it was time for some geocaching.
Table Cape was a busy place today, glorious sunshine and the tulips in full bloom. Made our way to GZ and made a quick find in the first place I looked (just lucky ). Enjoyed the view before we continued on our way for the day.

Certainly was a great view on a almost clear day. Saw the Nut and signed the log. Thanks for the cache.
After a lovely long weekend in Stanley and surrounds we are heading back today, via Launceston, but of course having lots of geocaching stops along the way.
Pulled into the look out and it was a good view, a little bit hazy today so could only just make out The Nut. very calm sea and very few muggles around so all in all a peaceful and enjoyable little stop . Cache quickly located, logged and replaced. TFTC

Took a little while to find. Coordinates off about 3m. No need to jump the fence! TFTC
On our way to Stanley, stopped in the check out the lookout. Great view but windy! Cache found in good condition. Tftc BarDar
In our final few days travelling around Tasmania we found ourselves visiting this area and enjoying some last minute caching. The view encouraged us to stop and sure enough our app confirmed there was a cache within metres. We were distracted by incorrect ideas that didn’t match the terrain rating, but logic saved the day.
Thank you for highlighting this area with your cache.

Staying at nearby Boat Harbour and decided to pop out and see if the tulips were still in flower.
Can't pass an unfound cache in these circumstances.
Thanks BarDar.

I had seen so many photos of the tulip farm up this way and just had to check it out myself. I couldn’t come all this way and not grab just a couple caches.
We decided to go for a drive to enjoy the beautiful day and went to see the stunning tulip farm & lighthouse. The name of this cache enticed us to go a little further being a beautiful day we indeed could see all the way to the nut. This a popular little lookout with 2 cars already filling up the small parking space. The geocache was a nice easy find but well placed for the area (favourite point for the view and the good placement of a micro) thankyou for bringing us to this location and for placing & maintaining this cache for our enjoyment

Found this cache while out and about.
There was some muggles nearby so had to stealthy grab it.
Beautiful view

A quite spectacular view today with clear crisp skies.
The log was full, so replaced with new waterproof roll.
Many TFTC...cheers ST.

A nice spot to pull up and have a look at the view
Bloody nanos
Today I set off to do the tarkine drive and find the caches within in the area. Set off from home at 5am and covered just over 800km for 38finds plus 5 labs. An amazing area that a lot of people need to visit.

T-Tech and I are down from Brisbane for a meandering holiday around Tasmania. We flew to Melbourne where we picked up the campervan and spent a day caching there, then took Spirit of Tasmania I to Devonport. Tick that one off the bucket list!
Today we are travelling from Penguin to Stanley. We had trouble with both our phones here, so wandered around for quite a while! I went and set up my GPSr and that helped us zero in for this one and T-Tech spotted the tiny container. (I actually found a small container up the other end with a set of co-ords inside, but no note saying which cache it was for. I noted the numbers and later on we stopped to see if we could find anything there, but had no luck. Curious indeed.) TFTC, BarDar (BAD).
