Hi CoxFamily7310. Today I/we attempted to find your Parklands walk to the Beach. Unfortunately, one of the following happened and that made us unsuccessful in logging a find :1. Hadnt rubbed all the sleep out of my eyes. 2. Hadnt had breakfast so was concentrating on filling my stomach. 3. Had someone else with me and they couldnt be bothered looking and wanted to leave. 4. Had muggles hanging around waiting for me to leave so they could relieve themselves. 5. Wrong time of day. 6. Wrong time of night. 7. Wrong information given to me about where the cache is hidden. 8. Coordinates out by more than 10 metres. 9. Nobody has blown up the nano factory yet. 10. Too much or not enough water / light / GPS signal. 11. Flat battery in navigation device. 12. Cache has been stolen / muggled. 13. Such a small cache hidden in such a large area (fake rock in a boulder field / pico in west coast horizontal scrub)14. Too far up the tree to reach with the ladder AND the pole. 15. Too far down the hole to reach with a magnet or grabby tool. 16. I gave up looking. 17. I need to be somewhere else soon/now/a while ago. No offence intended! One of these may actual fit my DNF on your cache. 0-1 is not valid maths
Thanks for the Cache CoxFamily7230, newly arrived on the "Spirit". We had a smooth crossing, I did ok but my Wife no so. So as she has a snooze in the Van, I take the opportunity to take a stroll in the park. The pencil in the Cache was much appreciated, I realised that I had left mine behind a Km into the walk .Regards from Victourer
Great stroll around Took a couple little sections of day...Thanks For The Multi Cache INFORMATIONSL Time:15:30TODAY FINDS/DNF:1/0SWAG INFORMATION Contains SWAG:Left SWAG: Took SWAG:Finder Note: All SYSTEMS GO ON THIS CACHE!
Back in Devonport for a few weeks, looking after grandchildren. A great opportunity to go on adventure each day.It was a lovely day for a walk, so enjoyed the views while grabbing the info from each of the waypoints until we had a likely set of coords. It was an easy enough find at GZ.Thanks CoxFamily7310 for placing the cache and doing the maintenance needed, so we can find this cache.
Little miss 4 year old found this while out having an adventure with Nan. Signed as Chrisant2017 but now had name change.Thanks for the cache.
Thanks for the long and interesting multic! Nice walk on sunny weather - and lot of other caches as well!
This was a fun multi I did on my slow meander around to the Cape and back.I met the harrowangs near the start at an adventure lab and we had a good yarn or two. I mentioned this multi and it seems we had the same idea all afternoon. Love gz and have spent a good amount of time around the area here. So many cool petroglyhs from an almost forgotten history.Thank you CoxFamily7310 for the multi cache! This is palindromic find number 4774 !
SL at 4.27pm following small wombat this afternoon. We met him near the start of this multi, but went our separate ways after a chat this morning. A bit of a marathon because we kept stopping to gather other caches along the way! So glad there was a sea breeze to keep us cool! We saw a friendly potaroo as we were nearing the last waypoint, but it was camera shy! A long multi but worth doing for the interesting and informative locations visited. #10,534 Thanks for the great work in putting this one together and keeping it maintained CoxFamily7310

Today we had planned to finally get this multi done!
With my car getting my serviced no better time to have a lovely walk around the shoreline of Devonport!
Once arriving at the final location and signing the logbook got the message that my car is ready to be picked up! What good timing.

I’m just logging this today as my phone battery died before we found the cache and then I forgot to log. We found it last Sunday 19/2/23.
This multi was a multiple day adventure! Visiting the plaques was pretty fun too. TFTC!
We were going to put out a wherigo cache here but missed seeing this multi. We should have realised that every square cm of coast here has a cache in range.
The consolation was that we still had this pleasant stroll to do today to find this cache

What an Awesome MultiCache. I was starting to do this one when i realized i was close to a Trad that i had DNF'd some time back so after grabbing that i got back down to business and got all the WP's of this Multi.
I love where it took me and when i was finally at the Final (when following a Muggle couple) i noticed her husband said "What have you found babe?" [ i was just in earshot of them].
A couple of minutes later i saw the cache out on the ground exposed and it was then i realized she had found the cache, but left it where it was.... thankfully, coz i would haven't found it probably.
I SL of it at 15:01 on Wednesday 24 November 2021 then placed it 'up' as the hint said, but there were 50,000,000 small ants so it was placed outta the way of them as best as possible
A Favorite Point for the many WP's and how easily it was done with no problems whatsoever and the place it took me.... Nice Multi, Well Done [^]
The contents in the cache are dry.

Found it nice little multi mind you all this adding up is doing my head in lol. But soon had all the info and a quick fine was had. Thanks Cherie for your efforts.
An awesome Cache trail, visited lots of places we’ve been passed a million times before. Was a fabulous afternoon out with LittleBoo17 (except when he had his spectacular crash while rushing across wet rocks to beat me to collect the next set of coordinates), a quick stop to deal with tears, mud and wet pants and we moved on (at a much slower pace) to collect the cache at the end. A great area. Thanks so much, we loved completing this one.
Hi CoxFamily7310, thank you for a fabulous multi. Did a little reconnaissance a while ago and started my walk today at Waypoint 2. It was very overcast but not at all cold as I wandered from Waypoint to Waypoint. Clear concise information and easy to understand sums for coordinates allowed me to have no false starts. Interesting information obtained at every stop. At GZ it was a high hide but no trouble for me which was great. Container and log dry, in great condition. Thanks for creating my pleasure this morning there is nothing better than walking in the early morning with Pademelons and hearing the waves crashing. Thanks for all your hides. FP given
I looked for this the other day but didn't find and thought my coords were out.
After checking and being the same...went back to gz for a more thorough search to reveal a well hidden cache...very sneaky.
A top multi that deserves a fav....many tftc...cheers ST.

Out and about caching with whitewebbs on a lovely summers day. An interesting multi giving us the opportunity to view the local area as we walked and droved around the waypoints.
This has been a big day caching. A lot of muggles were out and about enjoying Australia Day. Cache and contents were in good condition, accurate co-ords led to a quick find, but had to watch my head at GZ.
Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.

Out and about in the area caching with Tassie Trekkers and this was one we found. A lovely day to be out caching. Not too hot and not too cold, sounds like a fairy tale. Nice to break up the caching with an interesting multi. TFTM
This was brilliant. It's a beautiful place to walk and the history shared at each waypoint made it fascinating. Nicely put together and, as usual with CoxFamily7310, a well maintained cache. I used to be in a hurry to pick up smileys and found multis too long for only one smiley. Now = because of great experiences like this one - they are one of my favourite types
I really liked this track. Very interesting information. Great cache also. TFTC!
Hi CoxFamily
Have "walked" this path many times and enjoyed it each time
Managed a reasonably quick find at GZ even though I took some bark off myself trying to retrieve the cache
The cache was Sainted at 1032 hours

Well this was one hell of a multi taking us all over the Devonport area, as we went we found a number of cache along with the waypoints needed for this cache.
As we where going round we got asked by a passing couple if we had seen a black dog, which we had not, later we were asked by their children who were also searching and we informed them wehre we had been and that we had not see the dog on our travels.
A few moment last as we were getting close to the final location we heard them find the dog at long last!
So does this mean that we get two 'finds' for this cache?
Thanks for a great walk and drive around the area, think we both enjoyed this multi.
A quick drive up from Hobart to attend a CITO which involved an overnight in Ulverstone, we got to find over 40 hand picked caches, some were picked for their D/T others for their age and the due to a bit of good luck we got three FTF's but the stand out for me had to be one i couldn't get to 7 years ago due to not wanting to rock hop for over a kilometer in the dark.

With a lot of waypoints, a few other caches sidetracking us, and a lost dog, it took quite some time to complete this multi but I enjoyed it all. I've found caches around the waterfront over the years but it was nice to have something new and different to find.
Thanks CoxFamily7310, a favourite point from me. These take quite a bit to set up (and find ) and I appreciate the effort gone into it.
An overnight trip to the 'sunshine coast of Tasmania' was arranged with stainless steel rat so we could clock up another CITO. We cherry picked a few caches on the trip, oldies, interesting D/Ts, some multis and a selection of GCAs as well. As always our list was bigger that time allowed so some were skipped. We were also lucky to score three first to finds which we were grateful for. Another good weekend away.

First early morning caching run in Tasmania and this area was chosen because of the Mersey Lighthouse. The next caches I really wanted was these 2 Multi caches.
I was able to fairly easily work my way thru the clues until I had a likely looking GZ.
Just as I was returning the geocache, something fell out of tree from up high. Then lots of bird noises from up top. Not sure what it was, but I didn't hang around long enough to find out.

A Day off and Geo Kid E's exams are over so it was decided to have a go at the caches around Devonport that had sprung up since the last time we were there - and so many there were.
So we set off at 6 am and returned at 10.15 pm pretty exhausted. The trip included 67 finds and 5 DNF's and about 8 hours driving time.

Great Multi

I began gathering the data for this cache a few months ago, and I decided to find it today. It didn't take long to make my way around Devonport (by scooter), and to some lovely views, interesting information, and cool indigenous cultures (Tiagarra).
As I made my way to the final coordinates, a detour was caused due to plovers, but once they were passed, the cache quickly revealed itself - thanks to an obvious spot, good coordinates, and the hint.
The cache and contents were in excellent condition - just a small cobweb on the lid.
Favourite point from me,

Great our enjoyed journey along trip from Devonport. where we stay at Devonport for 7 nights.very interested to read about history fav from me Found your cache today. CoxFamily7310, thank you so much for placing it.
Our 2nd and last day around Devonport for this trip! We had intended on getting up a bit earlier but a bit too chilly! We had gathered information for this along our walk today! Some answers we knew from our previous visits to Devonport. This one was out of lady membsec’s reach so male membsec had to grab it! Thanks for educating us.

Completed the requirements of this multi-cache this chilly morning. One could feel the snow in the highlands, and travelling by bike at 6 degrees (feels like 0.2 deg. BOM). Still nice at the lighthouse out of the breeze and in the sun !
Good hidey hole easily found once at GZ.

Although we knew each of the wapoints from their descriptiobs and we could have gone to the last waypoint to collect the information that would have given us GZ, we went to each waypoint and collected the data as we could not recall the detail at each site. Accurate waypoints at each stage led to quick data collection and a quick find at GZ given the additional infornation from the hint. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks CoxFamily7310 for an enjoyable multi and tour of a scenic part of Devonport.
Out for drive from Launceston with gridge98 and Poppy( the dog) Sooo freezing! Great views of the river and sea on our walk. Great hide, High traffic area even in the unpleasant weather. TFTC
TFTC & the effort you have put into this multicache. Found on a very windy afternoon
We started this multi and collected the trads along the way, some really interesting history and info we obtained. A thoroughly enjoyable walk.
Cache was easily found.
This afternoon a pre empty plan to go caching with nettie knows, we decided to head to Devonport via the Frankford highway and collect some of the new caches along the bluff whilst completing the new revamped multi.
All the caches were easily found and are all good condition.

Almost at the end of our last day in northern Tassie we cached along the coast east from Goat Island to Don. We found a great variety of caches, learnt about the history of the area and enjoyed the brilliant coastal views. Having collected the info for this one a couple of days back we made our way to our calculated GZ.
We searched around and contemplated the tallness of tall! Then from a different angle there was a glimpse of something a little different. Thankfully it was the cache. A FP for an interesting, and very well set up multi.
Thanks to 'CoxFamily7310' for placing this cache on the geo-gameboard.

This was our third multi-cache we've completed and by far the longest. Bit windy but at least the sun was out. Thanks for taking us on this walk. We found each waypoint with minimal problems, with the exception of jumbling some of the numbers for the coordinates, but they led us near enough to the next waypoint and when searching for signs/plaques it was pretty obvious where to go next.
Again, TFTC.

After a busy day washing down eaves and painting them we decided to treat ourselves to a pizza for tea. While we were in Devonport we considered continuing the Bluff to Coles Beach walking track but decided to tackle this cache instead.
We didn't walk the whole way but drove parts of it and walked others.
A bit of local knowledge helped and we anticipated where most of the waypoints were going to be. Still did the whole trail and it has been years since we have walked at some of the places this cache took us to.
The container was quickly sighted at GZ but was a bit tricky to retrieve.
Thanks, a nice simple multi with easily obtained information.
