Hi CoxFamily7310. Today I/we attempted to find your Coles Beach to Don Reserve #1. 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.
Sorry CoxFamily7310, after a thorough search I did not come up with the goods today for your Traditional, Coles Beach to Don Reserve #1. It may be worth a sanity check to see that it is still here, I have been known to be cache blind at times.
Surprised as all other finds simple? Had a good hunt but no luck with this one.
We were on the wrong side to begin with but once we went to the other side, we found it real quickly
This afternoon after giving blood we headed out for a stroll in Don Reserve to pick up a few caches. We looked for 14 and found 14 which was marvelous. I was a bit puffed minus my litre of blood so we stopped for a few rests along the way. We also bumped into Rhubarbroad which was nice and we had a chat with him. We also met some other cachers. Quite an afternoon.The weather today has been fabulous, the Tassie weather is really suiting this Pom!. Thanks to all the CO for placing caches for our enjoyment.Once I got to the right side of the trees this was a nice quick find and sign TFTC
Found our last one on this walk. We've really enjoyed the couple of hours. Thanks to the Cox family. Great work.
Original Container seems to be missing spent sometime looking for it. If anyone finds it its a coffee pot. Please place it and take a photo and send to me please as it was a cool one.

Couldn't find it. Searched all through branches and leaves at the base of several trees. There were a lot of fallen trees and branches, so it could be here but heavily obscured?

Great Cache
Found this cache after going to Apple Isle Moot on my post tour.
I’ll be in Tassie till the 29th of January
I’ve added one of my moot pathtags for the next person to find (physical locations that will fit a pathtag only)
Happy finding
Thanks CoxFamily7310 for the cache

Got a face full of spider web getting to this one but it was a pretty cool container!
Last cache of the series took a few minutes to find after searching the wrong tree base but in the end thanks for the find
Found by Bec & Ryan #hiddenbythehuttons cute cache! Now home for a coffee
Interesting cache, after having tried to look for this one around a year ago, we came back tonight to get it. Everything was in good condition apart from the log book, which is now full. TFTC found with chickenman21
Tried this one once again, but with my phone gps bouncing around, the weather and shortage of time. It has once again avoided me
One more day in the North and North West, we stayed the night at Beauty Point which was lovely. Very foggy, dewy and overcast this morning, with the sun finally breaking through mid morning. Our aim today is to head back over to Devonport to collect as many caches as practical before heading back to Hobart, hopefully arriving before dark.
We parked up in the Coles Beach area so we could collect a train hog these caches. Double back for this one in order to head back to car and move the car to new location to collect more caches. TFTC

On a beautiful autumn afternoon we decided to look for some of the caches in this reserve. We were a little surprised by how many people were out and about on the tracks but managed to make our finds without interruption. Loved this container. TFTC
