Unlike the previous finder I had an appropriate TOTT available and was able to extract the cache and sign the log. Thank you for this interesting and informative Multi. Worthy of a favourite point.
In fact I found it, I can see it, but it is pushed spo deep rahat cannot get it without some tool. And because no name on log, not found
Today we had 21 caches on the list to be found and 5 AL. We failed miserably and had multiple dnfs for the day. Many of the caches we are sure are there it just wasnt to be for us today. Never mind you get days like that!Well we found this but its been pushed so far in between the sign its impossible to get out without some sort of tool. At least we could see it so I hope the CO doesnt mind if we log. Can send our final coords and describe the hide if need be. TFTC we enjoyed all the history on the boards.

We’ve left the multis along the river for so long decided today was time to get them but unfortunately no luck on this one today
We gathered the info for this multi months ago and after a skate along the waterfront we decided to grab a few local caches that we hadn’t got around to finishing. Finally made it to the final cache. TFTC
Found with LittleBoo17

Thanks for the multi CoxFamily7310.
Up north for a few days with RLD4963 and the two GeoGSP's, and this morning we searched for caches around the Devonport waterfront.
This is a great multi, really enjoyed it.

Out and about caching with all the Rafas for our holidays TFTC TNLN log dry, an afternoon touring around Devonport and Port Sorell area.
Last night i decided to make a start on this one after doing all the "Victoria Bridge to Town" Series. After grabbing the numbers for A and B on the sign that has been ruined by graffiti {Still just readable thankfully} i then started to walk back for a bite to eat for tea at the Alexander then
over to the Spirit of Devonport to get me home on the Eastern shore to start my days logging
It was about 18:40 and as i walked up to where the Spirit of Devonport ferries passengers from on this Western side i couldn't see it... on both docks!........ aaaaaaargh!! Oh No, what i walk i have now! {I'm learning how Devonport works, the HARD way ha ha} Oh well.... i needed to burn tea off anyway so it was "2 feet and a heartbeat", the LONG way home ha ha.
I did see the Spirit Of Tasmania depart and do it's turn in the 'Swing Basin' for ships then leave.
Anyway.... today, Wednesday the 24th of November 2021, i finished off grabbing the numbers for this MultiCache. With the numbers gathered and crunched they were entered into my GPS for me to go grabski.
That done with no Muggles at GZ it was retrieved albeit with a wee struggle ha ha.
SL at 10:58.
The cache and contents are in A1 condition

Today was very overcast but not raining. So we decided to go for a walk in town and take some time to discover some of the caches along the river. This must be the king on mint tins.... so it was nice to discover something a little different today. We did find some great locations and hide along the day today.
Did the work for this yesterday but ran out of time to grab the prize. Today I had to pick my time between muggles but it was a quick find and no mint tin to be rewarded with.
Thanks CoxFamily7310 for placing this multi in an interesting area and doing the maintenance, so we can enjoy the find.

Out and about caching with whitewebbs on a lovely summers day. A straight forward multi giving us the opportunity to view the water front.
This has been a big day caching. A lot of muggles were out and about enjoying Australia Day. We had to wait and then come back to GZ as there were muggles in the area, once gone we had to use a metal hook to retrieve the cache container.
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 a multi. We were pleased to be able to get the cache out of its hidey hole eventually. TFTM
A nice multi completed while picking up some of the caches along the waterfront. All is in good order here. Thanks for placing this cache.
Hi CoxFamily7310...soon gathered the required info and then off to gz.
Could see the cache but was pushed back too far to grab, so used the tyre lever to extract...all in top condition....exc hide.
Many tftc...cheers ST.

nother day off from and I decided it would be worth trying to clean up a few dnfs in Devonport and doing the moorland walk for a second time. Left Hobart at 7am with geo kid e in tow. Weather was fine in Hobart as apparently it was all day. Stopped, refilled car and got breakfast on the way in Kempton. A very nice egg and bacon sandwich to fuel to day.
Back on the road again, with geo kid’s nose in his Nintendo ds and me following that dotted line that has become common Again over the last forthright.
Just past Oatlands some dark clouds and the first sign of some rain. This cleared up by around Campbell town.
My second drive of the new road by passing Perth. It’s a very clean and easy way through the area. Have to give this a tick of approval.
As we approached Devonport there was some dark clouds, but these past over before arriving at the moorlands end of the track... started with the first few caches on the eastern end and then walked along to the western end. This track is very poor. Trees down in many places and simply a difficult walk along the “track” .... and I use the word track very loosely.
Eventually got all the caches and fought back out to the beach, the walk along the beach was a lot easier. All coordinates were good except for number 8 which was about 10 metres out according to my gps on the day.
Anyway little drive around to the other track and started by collecting the few that I didn’t attempted due to the rain last time, and then the cache “waiting for the ferry - gnarled and old tree” which I dnfed last time. Nice to get this one of the list.
Next it was the walk to the point.... interestingly one of the caches I found was very familiar.... coastal walk... which was found to be familiar as my name was already in the log book.... I must have found it and not logged my find. Oh well, at least I can mark it off now.
Most of these caches were fairly simple. 7 provided a problem as it was fairly well buried.
Walking back to the car was easier as we left a few caches to walk to, so the walk back had something to do.
From there we went to Devonport to get rid of some dnfs and a few adventure labs. 4 ways was nice to mark off along with the last of the walkway caches. Grabbed lunch while at 4 ways, and it started to rain while eating in the car. I said this is probably a shower.
Well. How wrong was I. It continued to rain for the rest of the day. A few small breaks allowed us to grab a few adventure caches without getting to wet, but quite a few we had to simply brave the elements to get the caches. Really enjoyed the adventure caches in Devonport and the bonus caches.
As it was raining heavily by the time we finished the adventure caches, we drove towards port Sorell to grab the 5 or so new caches out on the roads around there before heading for Perth to grab the nice little cache in the wetlands.
From there a quick detour to Launceston work office, and then off towards home. 46 caches I believe for the day.
As we pasted Oatlands would you believe it stopped raining.... weird it was only rain8ng north of Oatlands.
Arrived home at 7.30 which is an early day for caching in the north of the state.

We are up from Hobart for some R&R before Lady membsec is out of action for a few months. We don’t have any real plans and have already changed our plans many times. Took advantage of a sunny but cold day today.
We DNF on this one the last time we were here so it’s nice to put a smiley face to this one!
Took some time trying to remove the container from it’s hidey place, a nice tight fit! Log signed and replaced as found!
Thanks for replacing and moving it to a less “muggable” area.

We decided to make a trip to the North West to collect some of the Starting Puzzling Puzzle caches, along with others and attend some events.
This cache was no 32 for the trip.
Co-ords excellent and cache was in good condition
This removed another DNF from our list.
Thanks CoxFamily7310

We did everything wrong on this multi, did it the wrong way missed a waypoint so when we headed North goose had to jump out the car and collect the needed information before we could move on to the final.
Then we were looking in the wrong spot for a bit before we twigged where it would be and at last the cache was found.
thanks for the cache.
This was a trip North primarily to meet up with some fellow cachers we had not seen in a very long time, Friday afternoon myself and Gooseandegg set off from Hobart to stay in Ulverstone for the night before meeting up with TazScout for a couple of days of caching along the North/Northwest Coast, we hadn't put much planning into it to be honest, with restrictions lifted we just wanted to catch up with some good friends and have a laugh.
Half of the caches we planned to find I had found some of before when they were listed as GCA caches and some of them even had their old containers with the GCA listing numbers in them, others were new series that had been put out since I was last up this way and we did our best to find as many as we could in the short time we had.
Thanks for all the caches

Because we did Victoria Bridge to Town the wrong way around (as Town to Victoria Bridge instead) this multi required an additional stop. I bailed out if the car, ran across the road and gathered the information then dashed back to the car. We move on to Stewart street to collect the other vehicle and I calculated GZ while the bottle shop was utilized by others.
Oh it's not too far...off to GZ!
I had us looking in the wrong place, somewhere where a cache should not really be but we soon realized where the cache should be a few metres away, yes there it is!
I'm giving this cache a favourite. I like multi caches and this one had an interesting subject.
Thanks CoxFamily7310

Long reach but we got there in the end!
Today gridge98 and I headed to the North west to do the moorland trail, another trail in Devonport and a few around Latrobe. A great day out, this cache was found along the way.
Apologies for the late and generic log.

On completing the series next to the main road we decided to do this multi as well. A nice and simple one. We arrived at GZ and there were people everywhere unfortunately it took a long time to get the cache out was a long way in but we got it and signed and replaced not so far in
Today nettieknows and myself headed to the Mersey/Devonport area to collect some new and unfound caches in the area. We tackled the new moorland series, Victoria bridge to town series and a few around Latrobe. It’s great to get out and about in such a time we live in.

Have addressed the problem from the last post and cache is ready to be found.
We collected the information, but it appears that there is still part of an original question which is confusing also the formula does not appear to be correct.
In the formula (C-A) does not work based on what we collected.
Can CO review

Replaced Cache and changed final cords and Hint. If you have done this cache before this date you will need to re do it, as I have had to change some of the questions. Sorry
I think it may be missing again - which is a pity. Went to GZ and there was a guard rail but no cache!
Well the last time we visited this one, the cache had been muggled. CO has now replaced, so today was a quick fix straight to GZ and first to sign the new log. TFTC you know who. 
After gathering the required information from the 2 very informative signs that we had to stop at any way to complete the series, we sat and worked out where we needed to go to find this one. Was a bit surprised at the placement of the final as we were expecting it to also be somewhere along the track.
As we weren't real keen to ride to the final we returned to the Don where the ute was parked and drove in to get this one.
The cache was quickly spotted and after waiting for one muggle to pass was signed and returned.
Thanks for a great day's caching CoxFamily7310.

We were preparing to head westwards to meet Sharnie's Tribe for lunch when these caches were published. We just had time to download them into our GPS units before heading off. After a very enjoyable lunch and chat, we headed back towards Devonport to look for some of these newly published caches.
As we walked along Formby Road, we collected the required information from the very informative interpretation signs. We had driven along here countless times, but this was the first time that we have walked the pathway and read the excellent information. With all data collected, the coordinates for GZ were calculated. Then it was into the car and off to GZ where accurate coordinates led to a quick find. The cache and contents were in good condition. Again the logbook was blank. So we will claim another {FTF} at 19:40. Thanks CoxFamily7310 for this cache and the others published today.
A favourite point added for an informative multi along a pleasant path.
