Pine Tree#2 Bellerive, Tasmania, Australia
By 63ROOS on 30-Mar-19. Waypoint GC85H2J

Tftc. Took me too long to understand that "no need to climb anything" only means "no need to climb the tree itself"

Tftc! Nice find on a pretty busy beach

Took a while and no climbing required TFTC

Found it !!!!

2nd timeFound it finally Tftc

Beautiful spot. Luckily found this straight away. Cheers

Nice camo

Actually visit #4, and I had stood in almost this exact spot at least twice previously. Almost invisible, despite being a straightforward hide.Thanks for another walk on the beach.

Another cache found with my client today. Well disguised hide, took a few minutes to spotTFTC

A quick find. TFTC

A quick find by Scoot on this one!

Had a little look !! No pen to mark logboook though )

It took technology looking over my shoulder , but I soon spotted it nice hide. TFTC

??

I had a bit of time to duck out and try to find a cache today.
Last time I was here was late at night and the light in my phone is not that good, coupled with the battery level was getting very low.
Today, I pretty well walked straight up to GZ and had the cache within 60 seconds.
Glad to get another unfound cache found.
Thanks for the find!

I came to this cache after doing Pine Tree and my phone battery is going flat. I spent at least 20 minutes if not longer, here searching. I thought it would be like the one along the beach and then I was thinking bison tube but as I drained nearly all life from the battery, I called it and set off in the dark back to the cachemobile and trailer.

nice hide. cache in good codition

This took longer than it should since we took "no climbing needed" to mean no climbing at all not just the tree, fortunately Viking Dad never does as he is told and soon after we had found it.
Thank you for this hide

I was here for a while, but clearly my eyesight isn’t good enough!

Checked today as all good !!!

Nice one. Didnt have pen so couldn’t log

Submitted via Garmin Live Geocaching

Apologies for the late log. I was in Hobart for 5 days in October for the cricket and there were games every other day which left me two free days for caching. This was the first of those days and I had originally planned to hire a car to pick up some solved puzzles. That didn't work out so I set out on foot from where I was staying in Bellerive. A big day of walking with 22,000 steps and 10 finds. After a few finds to the west I continued my walk. Having found the sister Pine Tree cache nearby I headed to this one. Took me a long time and I was close to walking away before I looked from another angle and spotted it. Thanks for the cache 63ROOS.

Found only a used needle

Found the little bugger but forgot a writing stick. Have to sign it on our next walk.

TFTC! Ham & Beans

beautiful day on the beach

cute little find

TFTC

Quick find, TFTC!

Superhuman146 was almost finished writing the did not fond when I spotted the little bugger. There was another black zip tie on the tree that threw us off. Great last find of the day. TFTC

Thanks

Was about to give up, when there it was right in front of me. TFTC

Muggle nearby

Tftc

Found quickly tftc

I looked around for 10 minutes couldn't find it.

Couldn't find it after 10 minutes of looking.

OH MY GOSH. PLEASE SOOOOOMMMMMEEE TELL ME WHERE IT IS. WE HAVE LLLLLOOOOOOKKED SO MANY TIMES.

Pointer from another log made this one easier than it might have been! Glad for some guidance

Couldn’t see it

We’ll hidden
TFTC

A great hide TFTC

Now this was hard and I walked underneath it like five times. TFTC

Checked today as cache still there as all good…

Didn’t want to walk on the dunes which is where GPS wanted to take us.

We didn't want to leave the beach as it is discouraged.

Second go at this one a bit earlier in the day.

This time I had success though thank goodness. Quick spot, grab and sign and off Miss3B and I trotted

We had a bit of a giggle this Arvo walking on squeaky sand

Tftc.

Another nice find on our walk this morning.

While caching in the area we found your cache along the way.

This took some time but got there in the end, cache and contents were in good condition.

Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.

Found quick enough, could reach this one a lot easier!! Cheers for bringing me along a lovely stroll

Took a little looking for a little thing. TFTC

TFTC

Got this one with a bit more of a search. TFTC

Right side when looking at beach not looking at tree! Fun find!! Wear shoes there’s glass in the sand

I have looked for this cache several times. Often in the dark. I did find what was presumably the original hide previously, and every time since. The updated log had me searching on the wtong side of the tree and in other places. Today it was windy and high tide. There were spots on the beach where I had to time the walk between waves, which came right up to below GZ! Today, just 1.2m from the original hide i found the new cache with a fresh log.

Looked around quite a bit cause I expected it to look like the other one not too far away haha - but we managed TFTC

Today checked and cache still there..
changed hint .. about 4mts right side..

Alas, no luck on the 26th, maybe next time

At last, found after several attempts over the past year. Cache was lying in open, unhidden, so secreted it away in a safe hiding place. Tftc

Replaced new cache.. ready go and have a fun..

Will checking soon..

Our only DNF for the day. We found the cable tie with nothing attached but then others have found the cache and also noticed this empty cable tie. It didn't help that a muggle came and sat on the tree roots in front of GZ.
Will keep a watch on this one to see if we were cache blind or it is in fact missing.
Thanks.

Hi 63ROOS,
Thanks for your cache but we didn't find it. Well, we found the part that attaches it but not the rest. Had a bit of a look around where it might of gone but didn't succeed.
Messaged you a photo of what we found, pretty sure that it was part of the cache, it was in the right spot.

No luck here today

TFTC! A nice quick find, exactly where my gps lead me too. I had to widen my thought process first up though. Beautiful walk along the beach!

5min search has this little beauty in hand...

TFTC

With my pushbike (i'm borrowing whilst i holiday here ) i rode along the hard sandy part of the beach to the next hide. Excited by the higher D-Star rating i knew i was in for a challenge. Initially, i was looking in the wrong area so i moved to a different part obeying the GPS, usually good to do that ha ha [:o)] coz the co-ords for me [with my smartphone's GPS] were deadly accurate. I love it when the GPS settles and stays settled and the cache is within 1m of it's reading [^] This made the find easy and the cache was quickly in hand.

SL at 13:37 (i wrote 14:07 by mistake) damn SA time still present on my phone [:o)] I got the date right though lol Sat. 21 Dec 2019.

Found with 63Roos.... thanks

For some unknown reason, this cache has not been on our lists whenever we came south. So today we made a determined effort. We were able to park quite close and after a short walk along the beach, we were at the pine tree. Given the hint and other information, the were only a small number of places where the cache could be hidden. After a short search the cache was located. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks 63ROOS for another enjoyable cache.

Yay, got ya this time!
Hi 63ROOS, thanks for the cache. I blame the twilight last time!
Was at boot park watching a grand final this morning with geoSonA, and after that'd finished, we wandered along the path, then the beach for the last bit, until we were back at the pine tree where we failed 4 months ago.
I did mean to bring a tool to remove the misleading cable-tie that fooled us before, but forgot!
Anyway, it didnt take too long to change the depressing blue frown, to a nice yellow smiley.
Thanks for the adventure.

PS: there's been some re-vegetation activity at GZ recently. Tread carefully!

Wandered along the beach this afternoon in beautiful sunshine to collect this quite tiny camo cache. Thank u 63Roos for another super hide all good at GZ. Felt a little uncomfortable on the top of the doon, muggle central today but got away with it nicely. Logged with back to beach, thanks again for all your hides.

Quite a few people on the beach today, even though it was chilly. A. Artful look revealed the cache. Not sure about encouraging people to go off path, though. Tftc

Tftc

????

TFTC Not sure it deserves a difficulty of 4! I found it very quickly.

This one took a little more searching than its counterpart but was soon found. TFTC

TFTC! Haha gotcha, like the previous finder did not find a cable tie but definitely a cache

Unlike previous two cachers I didn't find a cable tie but fortunately I did find a cache.
Good coords is always a bonus.
Thank you 36ROOS

With nothing else planned, we figured we'd spend a lazy Sunday morning doing a spot of caching on the Eastern Shore. In total, we managed to track down three traditional caches, one mystery cache and one EarthCache, with one additional DNF (this cache).

Unfortunately our result for this cache was the same as EeePees - we found a lonely zip-tie but no hint of a cache. Based on EeePees' comments, we didn't bother looking any further - it looks to be gone, unfortunately...

Still, lovely spot for a cache, with a good view!

geoSonA and I could find only the cable-tie still in place
Looked on the ground, but failed to find anything else.

A little later at the nearby Event, showed some pics to a couple of previous finders, who confirmed we had been in the right place.

Last day in Tasmania.. but time for a some caching before we fly out..
On a Geocacing trip to Tasmania with Tankengine, hello from Canberra

thanks 63ROOS

Found with the GeoGSP. FLTF

Our last day in Tasmania, so a couple more caches this morning before flying out. A nice find here. Thanks 63ROOS.

So with a change in travel plans we realised we would be Getting off in Hobart we could squeeze in a little bit of caching before heading north. So we selected a few caches.
This was one and it took a bit of looking to come up withe hide. Not exactly what we first thought. We add our name to the log and re hid. TFTC.

Sneaky but fun

Hello 63ROOS thank you for the cache.

I found this one quickly and signed the log.
But had trouble putting it back as the key ring has been pulled out of shape and is now not attached to any thing.

**TFTC**

just me caching for this day, an easy find with clues TFTC TNLN log dry.

Find #: 2,082
Companions: None
Muggles: None
Weather: Windy autumn morning
Cache condition: Good

While staying with family I decided to go for a morning jog ‘n cache; this was my second stop. I jogged along the beach from the other tree then headed to GZ. I was a bit disheartened when I saw the tree (this style of hide is much more popular here than Sydney for some reason), but following the co-ords took me to the right spot. The container wasn’t home, but I found it on the ground nearby. TNLNSL, then I put the container back in its right spot. TFTC

We stood and looked, and looked and stood. And looked and looked and looked and looked! Our first DNF for the day

Took a bit but we found it! TFTC

A quick caching trip today with the goose, bit of a clean up of the area of these new caches.
Another easy quick find.

Thanks for the cache.

Our last day of caching in Southern Tasmania, started with a visit to the iconic Salamanca Market, followed by some caching beside the Derwent, through the city of Clarence.
A nice quick bit of teamwork and we were on our way.

Thanks to '63ROOS' for placing this cache on the geo-gameboard.

We walked along from the other pine tree and saw this D/T was a bit higher so thought we may take quite a bit longer but Stainless steel rat stopped at the right place and caught site of the container quite quickly which was a bonus. Just one more to go on out short outing today.
Thanks 63ROOS

Another run in with dog owner led to short distraction but found the cache quickly enough. Tftc.

Now on to number 2. Quite a few muggles with their pooches were on the beach so we had to bide our time until it was safe to search. As we expected with a 4 rating this one took quite a bit longer to find than pine number one. The bear was the first to catch sight of it. Thanks for the cache 63ROOS.

Nice beach. Thanks for the cache.

It was a windy day at the beach today. It helped a bit, but it still took a few minutes to spot the cache.
