Little Dragon Oatlands, Tasmania, Australia
By Nataliec1234 on 03-Jan-20. Waypoint GC8H8MW

Unfortunately it looks like the dragon’s lair has been demolished in order to facilitate upgrades to the highway.

No pine tree within cooee of coords....bank has been dozed off.
Cheers ST.

Found 20/8/22 signed log book

Awesome (and easy) cache. Unfortunately, the cache needs maintenance, as the structure holding the log is broken.
Haha, I have to admit that I find caches at locations like this are a little bit awkward as it seems like a desperate toilet stop , and who would think there is so much traffic here on a Tuesday morning. Thanks for the fun cache!

Easy does itt

Cool little roadside cache, definitely advise using parking waypoint. Logbook is dry but container for it is a bit worse for wear. Thank you

Nice one

Cute cache. Quick grab here

In a mythical location

forgot to log this one from a few days ago. Traveling from Devonport to Hobart to visit family, quick find on the way.. TFTC

Whilst travelling to Launceston I stopped on the side road to stretch my legs for a while.
This cache was found quickly but I didn’t bring something to write with, so 4 trips through the fence later I had the cache logged and replaced.
Thanks for the cache!

TFTC. Cache and contents in excellent condition.

Out with tassietan for a caching day.
Parked in the suggested spot, nice to be off the busy highway just a bit, and walked through the long grass (eyes out on stalks looking for slithering things).
An easy find, thanks Nataliec1234.

I have stopped at this spot once before when I was caching solo and heading up the NW coast, but didn't get out of the car as I was a bit pushed for time and it seemed it might have been a bit of a trek. Out and about with RoadieM today and it was much easier than first thought - always a bit easier caching with a friend I find. Tramped through the long grass (and stomped our feet to ward off slithering creatures) and RoadieM made the quick find. Thanks Natalie1234.

Cute lil creature! Thank you

TFTC! Nice little town

on our way from Hobart to Launceston. TFTC

That was a delightful cache thank you for placing this one Quick find luckily traffic wasn't too busy TFTC

Tftf.

Thank you

foud it was not verry hard to find thanks

Found bit cute

one of my favs

TFTC!
The dragon was guarding the treasure but we managed to sneak past & snag the goods.

Quick find, love the cache container . Found with TinkaFairy & FettaisBetta . It was a bitterly cold day - had been snowing along the highway a few minutes earlier - and was having a bit of trouble getting the pen to write so just signed as P32. TFTC .

Tftc

Awesome little find, recommend walking along the fence to the right until you get close so you don’t unnecessarily push through trees

I even ran back to the car to get the pen bc it was so cool. TFTC

Found it, logged it, next!!!
One of my favourites.

Found on the way after a weekend away with AlbyDangles.

Wow. What a ornate and creative cache. Thank you. Oh and it was my 300th find

A quick find of a wee li'l beasty in perfect condition.
He didn't mind me opening his booty-box to SL [^] and didn't feel the uncontrollable urge incinerate me ha ha
He had just eaten at midday so i was lucky, by just a mere 9 minutes

Re-Hid exactly as found [^]

Goodness, that’s a great looking dragon you’ve got there.. thanks..!!

Great cache, glad I stopped on the way home from camping

Second last cache in tassie, driving back up towards Devonport to head home tomorrow on the ferry. I chose this as a quick stretch the legs cache on our long drive back from Hobart. Cache found, no problems.

TFTC!

Due to reports of damage to the container, we've paid a visit to the cache. The container was, unfortunately, unsalvageable. As a result, we've replaced it with a smaller version. The cache now contains only a log book - BYO writing implement now required.

Happy caching!

Cute little guardian. Box could use some attention

A very cute cache with a magical little guardian. [^]
We didn't raid anything from the hoard but left our signatures and lots of smiles.
TFTC Nataliec1234.

A beaut cache.
Well thought out instructions for parking.
We needed this cache for a 2020 cache in Tassie and are very glad we chose this one.
Loved the dragon and his hoard.
Took nothing and left nothing except our signatures, as the guardian dragon had a watchful eye on us
A favourite point from us

Oh my god the coolest cache we have found to date
Smiles all round
Thank you so much

Out for a week in the hybrid camper. This is a good drive-by even when towing 'cos there is good parking off the bitumen. Nice hide, although the bottom has come off the container, but at this stage everything is dry and the log a good one to write in. Thanks Natalie1234.

A cute cache. Found while traveling home from a business meeting in Campbell Town. Tftc

TFTC found with GoldJ

I found the little dragon to be at home. Unfortunately his house is not coping with the amount of rain we have had and it is falling to pieces.
TFTC

Nice little stretch and walk beside the highway.TFTC

Thank you so much for this amazing find. we have been looking around tasmania this weekend and this is one of the best, most cared for geocache.

Cool log to follow

Well done lovely one . TFTC second go was on wrong side last time dam fence.

Easy find TFTC out with ToolBoxTas

? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

Found!! Nice dragon

quick find on our way back to Burnie. Everything in excellent order and log signed

this cache is awesome and very easily accessed via the highway with plenty of room to pull off regardless which direction you are heading. A fav point from us.

Caching in the area we found your cache along the way.

Cache and contents were in good condition.

Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.

Ok folks, as we said in the cache description, PLEASE DO NOT climb the barbed wire fence. We’d hate for someone to get hurt, or the fence to get wrecked. There is plenty of space to pull off safely on the highway side of the fence.

Watch the barbed wire.

Found.

5/25 for the day. I decided to do the fence climb. It was no competition for the rolled up blanket I put over it.

Dragon still on guard.

Wasn’t sure how to access this cache but decided to would be safer to jump the fence than park on the highway. It was dark but still a quick find, I like the well made and creative aspect of this one

Today I decided to head down to Hobart for the day and collect some targeted DT caches and some others in amongst them for the day, apart from the 30mins of rain the day was quite pleasant for caching.
All up 49 finds and 10 adventure finds.

Thanks for the cache

Found with TaurusSix

Such a fun find! One very happy little girl!

Found the dragon very quickly and after ascertaining that he didn't hold the treasure within noticed the nearby stash.
As I emerged from this one I'm sure all the passing traffic imagined the worst of my reason for being up there!!!
Thanks, a nice effort made here and a very cute cache guardian.

Found it love the little guardian.

Hi Nataliec

Sainted at 1204 hours

Found thank you for placing and maintaining the cache for our enjoyment.

This was an amazing find, kids loved it! Thanks for the creative cache.

Bilbo says hi.

Our initial attempt to get to this cache was thwarted by a barbed wire fence. Once we had navigated that obstacle, accurate coordinates and the hint led to a quick find. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks Nataliec1234 for the cache.

PS Forgot to add that the cache was very well presented and we restored the dragon to its rightful spot.

Brilliant.

Great cache container that deserves a favorite or three

Today, on our 40th Wedding Anniversary, we decided to travel to Swansea for lunch and to collect a few caches on the way and after. In total we travelled over 400 km and this was one of the caches we found. After leaving Swansea we diverted into Dolphin Sands and then through to the Midland Highway via the Lake Leake Road. Last time we were here we missed this one, so nice to stop and find today. We like the cache guardian. TFTC

Suscoe woke this morning to steady rain and a cold breeze.
We were heading to Hobart today and we had hope of finding a few caches on our way along the roads that we travelled.
The rain started to clear later in the morning and we ended up having a fine but cold afternoon.
The rain coats were broken out for the first time this trip.

Thanks to Nataliec1234 for this hide.
A nice touch and we enjoyed the cache.

Nice container, another good one for younge cachers. All good at GZ. Thanks for placing a cache here.

On the way home from some local FTFs and decided to completed the ones that had appeared since our last trip up the highway. Located quickly after dodging the shrubbery. Clever box and guardian. Took very small pink unicorn because it is a miniature version of the soft toy that our grand-daughter calls "municorn".

Geodaugther flying to tasmania for work business ....she rang to 63ROOS asked her take me to drive around country for few days....thanks

Trip to home from Campbell Town via stop some caches on old way..
easy spot, wow awesome cache, sign the log with good dry..
TFTC

This one took us a few moments to get into the corerct parking location and then it was a quick search and a great little find.

Great work from this CO yet again.

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.

Found on 09/02/2020 at 7:39:00 PM thanks to Nataliec1234 for placing this cache for me to find.

After finding Woolly Bully we continued along the road, not really understanding the parking coordinates.... until we got there. Now we get it [B)]
We whipped around to where you meant for us to park and headed back to GZ. We has already spotted where the cache was hidden from our first look so it was an easy find once we got here. Great little cache and theme, Thanks Nataliec1234 we enjoyed 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.

A good found. Very sweet.
TFTC.

Parked on Birmingham Road and had to climbed over the fence for this one. Definitely easier if you park at the given coordinates

Barb wire was sharp lol

A well stocked cache but I TNLN . I took great care in getting to cache so no torn clothes or scratches. TFTC

Long day completing the Apple Geoart trail, checked into our overnight accommodation and found just enough energy to grab some quick PnGs around town before dinner. Extra bonus smiley as this new publication wasn’t even in my recently uploaded PQ. Luckily J+J was using the live app for up to date opportunities. Got to admit, heard the name pronounced differently until I came to upload my log online (LOL

Hello Nataliec1234 thank you for the cache.

I was back up this way getting breakfast so on the way I just had to stop off and have a look at your very nice well stocked cache.

I was surprised to find a blank log book but happy for the *FTF *.

Found on Tuesday 7 January 2020 at 0630.

Found it at 16:00. TFTC

I love this cache! Haven’t seen one like this before! Thank you! Love the webbers from adelaide

Mizmaz and I are staying in town tonight and grabbing a couple of caches before night fall.
Once at GZ a quick find was made.
TFTC

Another new cache around the Oatlands area thanks NatalieC1234. Pulled up on the highway and wandered along to a nicely built GZ. Opening it up I spotted a little green eyed dragon guarding a lovely gold cache. On distracting the keeper I opened the cache to find lots of jewels for the taking. However just as I was ready to plunder the treasure I realised the treasure was affixed to the cache by dragon's breath and impenetrable. Plenty of other swag though but will leave that for the kids. The green eyed guardian allowed me to log replace and escape back to the car without a singe. Great effort again and a FP from me.
