The cache need a maintenance. I think thread of micro box is damaged and top part can’t be screwed. I wasn’t 100% sure of original position of the cache.
Found it at 15:30. This cache gives me some problem. After 15 min. I spotted top part of micro on the ground, among lives. Lucky me. I did setup every think together. TFTC
Gorgeous spot for a break. Have stopped here many times before becoming a cacher so nice to have another reason to stop now. Gorgeous creek to meander along once I'd found the cache. All good with cache, even though it took a long time to get the log back into the container properly. Thanks 63Roos.
A nice easy find for a quick rest stop, the lid was off when we found it but we searched a little and found it & popped it back how it should be thanks for placing this cache here for our enjoyment
Nice and quiet here today so we stopped and found this one with a bit of wondering about we found it. TFTC
On the way back over the border and into the north west, so grabbing a few drive-bys whilst we can. Didn't need the assistance of St Peter here today. The little stream was running a banker but not a threat to geo activities. Very clever hide and accurate co-ords got us to zero metres, which doesn't happen that often ! Thread seems to be stripped on the top, so it is prone to falling or dropping off. May need some attention in the not too distant future. A favourite for this one. Thankyou 63ROOS.
Nice hide, was cut off to the find by Gyrosweeper in the race to locate this one. Am glad to have found it, worthy of a 3 difficulty. Also found GPSr to be bouncing around, initially having GZ 10M off actual location
Now that was a good hide. GPSr's, both of them, were bouncing about all over the place, but persistence and widening the search area worked for us (Reperio and me). It was satisfying to get this log signed and the cache restored. I shortened the log sheet slightly so that we could refit it into the lid as designed, in case those following are not equipped as we were.
TaurusSix and me found the cache. That was the quick bit - getting the log out was the challenge.
13/25 for today. I found the lid before the rest. The log book was pretty stuck in there. Didn’t sign logbook but put it all back together. I wonder if the damp has made the paper swell- maybe might need some maintenance.
Found on a very chilly and frosty morning, on my way to Launceston for the first work trip since lockdown.
Took me a little while to find - maybe I’m loosing my cache observation skills?
Thanks for the cache!

A very popular place but the cache is nicely hidden well away from the muggles!!
The GPS was jumping around a fair bit here under the trees, but it didn't take Mr Beetle long to find something out of place that was the cache.
No matter how hard we tried we couldn't get the log sheet back in to the lid as it is supposed to be.
Surprised to find a bit of toilet paper near GZ. Really!!! there are public toilets 100 metres or so away!!
Remember finding our first ever 'reflector cache' near GZ. Guess that one's gone to caching heaven!!!
Thanks.

Suscoe was heading north today with our final goal being Devonport.
It was a clear day with loads of sunshine.
The temperature got to around 24 degrees as the day wore on but the breeze kept things pleasant.
We enjoyed our trip today and found a good range of caches and even got to chat with a local farmer along the way.
We have been amazed at the wonderful countryside that we have seen as we have travelled around Tassie, it has been a terrific two week visit.
Thanks to 63ROOS for this clever hide.

Geodog and I took a break while driving to Launceston for the day. A pretty little cache that lying fully exposed. Returned it to it's hidey hole. Tftc. MattyH from Tassie
gps not keen to work under the trees . found cache and replaced log , all's good with the cache Thank's 63ROOS
Took me over 30 minutes to find this one - I had in my mind a totally different hiding spot and was focused on something else. The tree cover did not help and I cover a lot of ground going back and forth TFTC well hidden
Love this one! Log book is almost full. Thanks for the cache - webbers from adelaide.
A needed break . The break had to wait until i found this one
Found in the 1st place i looked. Very happy with that

Joining J+J on an impromptu trip to tick off some specific targets in Tassie, added a few bonus PnGs along the way. Stopping for a convenient break nearby, collected this sneaky cache first. Tiny but I found it super quick while reading a previous log on the way from the car.
Well catching up with logs going all the way back to last year is painful let me tell you!
Having stopped here in the past for other cachers it was nice once again to find another cache here, we spotted another 4wd here and was thinking we were going to have problems but nope it was anotehr cacher!

Heading up to Launceston for a CITO and 'normal' event today so we decided to find all the new ones on the way. The ONLY car here was right near GZ, with a caravan in tow. Great!
Well we were here so figured we should at least have a look and see if we could find the cache without being muggled. We soon saw the suspicious behavior of a geocacher and joined
Rocket2015 in the search for this cache. Great to meet up for a chat!
Thanks 63ROOS

Hello 63ROOS thank you for the cache.
I have found many caches here before.
This one took a little while to find as there was so many people around.

Stopped for a quick break on my way to the east coast today, while standing near the GZ, a car load of what I thought was Muggles pulled up, turns out they were geocachers one their north for the day, all jumped out looking at their phones/gps’s heading my way.
Wasn’t long and one of them found the cache, not quite where I thought it was, but close by.
Quick chat and sighed the log. Was great to catch up with some fellow catchers out in the field.

Mizmaz and I are travelling in Tassie for couple of days collect caches and enjoying the country side.
Arriving at GZ scanned out and spotted something little different.

Passing through the area and found your cache along the way.
Cache and contents in good condition.
Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.

Took me a few minutes. Found the hide quickly but dismissed it as too obvious and kept looking for more sophisticated camo. Came back to double check the first spot and located the tube. TNLN. TFTC.
I was the owner of the previous cache about 20 metres away which was destroyed by the roadworks. At the time it had just become the 10th most favourited cache in Tassie.

Had our cache brain on for this one so found it within a minute of getting out of the car. Without GPS. Very please with ourselves and good hiding peeps.
A quick find whilst passing by today. An echidna was busy minding it's own business near GZ and didn't care in the slightest of our presence. Nice camo, TFTC

It is pleasing to have some new caches on the Midland Highway. Accurate coordinates led to a quick find but the micro cache container had come loose from its hide and was in the leaf litter. Apart from coming away from its intended hide, the cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks 63Roos for the cache.
A quick stop off here and a nice little hide
Headed to the south of Tasmania today to collect a few caches of interest and a few others along the way.

Great our enjoyed journey along trip to Hobart. Found your cache today. 63ROOS, thank you so much for placing it.
YES finally my first one to find in Tassie and it was a good one. A very well made blend in camo. It gets a fav from me. Thanks for bringing us to this excellent rest area. From Victoria
Thank you for the cache. Maggie the great GeoWestie caching with Carer. Nearly gave up
out and about with the two Rafas caching for a GCA game, a nice sunny day lots of GCA caches to get. TFTC TNLN log dry.
Heading back home we stopped to find this new cache. It is nice to stop on the Midlands run to pick up caches but today we cleaned them out. It was cold and windy and the gpsr took a while to settle. When it did, a nicely cammoed cache was found and signed. TFTC
Nice quick find. So pleased to see a new cache here, it is a great place for a cache. Thanks very much 63ROOS.
Passed this way on Sunday afternoon and really disappointed to miss on FTF yesterday. Today on the way south picked it up with a quick find in a very pleasant parking area. A well constructed cache.

Very clever cache found while driving north for work and a quick stop had this cache in hand. Given that the previous brilliant cache was destroyed by road works, this one lives up to its standard
