Couldn't find this one - only one in the series we missed.
Check logs, and looks like no one has managed to find for a while.
May be missing?

The sun was out, birds were singing. My dog was happy playing in the puddles, 3 caches signed and I was sure it was about to be 4. But I looked and looked and decided the cache was MIA or maybe it was my eyesight. But no cache here for me today.

Had another look today, still can’t find it.

Out for a brisk walk to get some fresh air and a few caches close to our accommodation.
Made quick finds here, improving the camouflage of some
A few other walkers about, almost scored a dog as well.

Thank you for the cache

There was a bit too much vegetation for us to venture into at this one. Another day maybe
 
08-Sep-21
out and about caching for the GC game Reach the Peak and the 2 near home were going to be found today. TFTC TNLN log dry, a dry windy day, good for caching. the day I walked this walking track was the day the CO replaced this cache so it wasn't on my list or on the map until I got home.
 
29-Aug-21
Had to give this one a miss on my outward journey as two walkers and their "Woofer" were in the area. A quick find was made on my return journey .
 
22-Aug-21
This one was our fifth and final cache for the day!
The cache was quickly spotted, logged and safely returned to its hiding hole!
We will definitely be back to complete the rest of the caches on this walk!
Such a great day out and about!
TFTC!

Another quick find as I do these caches the easy way - a one way trip on the bike after being dropped off at one end and picked up at the other.
Thanks.

Casual stroll and a casual find.

Today we decided to head to New Norfolk and surrounds and find a few more caches that we have not found and to make them a smilie. A great day out, not too cold, sun out allowed us to enjoy the great outdoors.

A great series, we enjoyed the walk along the path finding caches in different hides. We found all the caches which was great! Cache and contents were in excellent condition.

Thanks Diadem and TaurusSix for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.

Back today, the last day of warmth for about a week before that looming season of Winter starts to infect the end of Autumn Big Grin

I wanted to get all the hides i had to leave last time so after grabbing the first 5 i went back to get the GeoMobile and park it near the centre of this string of hides to lessen the walk back at the last one found Wink

A quick find and sign of a cache / contents in great shape at 12:18 on Monday 19 April 2021.
TFTC Diadem and TaurusSix Smile

{The Blue Wrens, mainly Jenny's (females), were abundant whilst i sat myself down on the edge of this bush to sign the log, chirping and carrying on [i think "this blue wren" was just a biiiiit too big for their comfort ha ha Big Grin]. I remained very still for about 2 minutes and they calmed down and were more easily seen... I love them [:x]}

Decided to tackle the caches along this nice easy walk beside the river after finding a few here some years ago. Although it was a lovely day the search for this series of caches turned out to be a bit of a calamity. Oh no, another bush! The back pack got tangled up this time and I fell down the rocks beside the railway line. May have had cache blindness or the prickles got the best of me. Will try again another day.
 
08-Mar-21
This one got us. Lots of disturbance but nothing to be found. Surprising due to the ease of finding all the others.

A lot of disturbance with surrounding foliage, no sign of cache at GZ. Had two attempts

Had a nice day for a walk and a series of caches that I needed to find. Wandered around track in no particular rush, just soaking in the sun, view and number of birds. Swans were common as I wandered along, especially a pair keeping pace with me going upstream as I wandered along.

Found all by one of the caches which I fear is missing

Tftc.

Cache find number 5554 as I work towards 5555 today

Another Thursday lunchtime wandering along collecting three more of this series. A round trip walk of around 2.5km on an overcast day. Thank you both for a great series on a lovely trail on the banks of the Derwent.

Almost halfway and another quick find. The track was fairly quiet today with only a handful of walkers, a runner, and a cyclist. TFTC

Have been wanting to do this series of caches for a long time as I drive past a lot for work but never seem to have the time. But today I hope to complete them all. TFTC

Hi Diadem
Needed to hunt plastic today and get some exercise, so this series made the hit list
My bike was extracted from the shed, the tyres pumped up and off we went
The cache was Sainted at 1435 hours with a quick find
There were plenty of muggles at the start of the track but few along the way
The weather was perfect which made the views really great
Using the bike, the first time in a long time, it made the trek a lot easier
Thanks for the series and the fun
Cheers OldSaint

We thought the wind would not be so bad today and we were hoping for great weather! Wind not too bad and the sun came out a few times! A nice walk and surprisingly no muggles apart from the first parking spot!

We were fairly lucky today as we were able to follow the geotrail to most caches! Some of the lids on the containers were hard to get off.

Easy find and cache is in good order.

Today's caching was to be a bit of a loop round Bridgewater and New Norfolk to collect the new caches that have come out since I was last up this way.
I picked the Goose up at just after 9 and after a few caches on the North side of the river we had a lunch of Pizza at the market before finding a few on th way home, as a bonus there was a new GCA published and we just managed a FTF.

Come to think of it the views today from GZ were always very good.

Found on 12/09/2020 at 11:00:00 AM thanks to Diadem for placing this cache for me to find.

I squeezed in to log this one.

With so many new caches, it was a pretty easy decision for our caching destination today. As is customary, stainless steel rat and I stopped for a takeaway coffee before heading to Bridgewater to do the trail there along the Derwent foreshore then up to New Norfolk for Pizza lunch at the market and a few more caches. We came down the western side of the river and picked up a couple more caches up in the hills on the way home.

Thanks for the cache Diadem

Back again with the GeoGSP, other end of the track to last week. Only passed one group of muggles on the track, although there was another having a fish in their wading gear close to the parking area. A nice walk along the river, and all were nice quick finds.
 
10-Sep-20
Out and about on another glorious spring day finding caches that have recently appeared and this was one of them. It was nice to return and walk the track from Riverside Drive. There were plenty of muggles walking dogs and pushing prams. A quick find. TFTC

Hello Diadem thank you for the cache

TFTC found with AlbyDangles.
It was monthly BoysNightOut, but as there were just the two of us, we turned it into a caching mission.
From our interim parking spot, this one wasn't really further at all.
Thanks Diadem and TaurusSix.
It's a magic Tassie Spring evening a caching stroll, along a popular track.
Cheers, EPs.

We arrived down South this afternoon with sufficient time to look for the caches in the recently published Derwent Views series. Despite a cool breeze, it was a pleasant walk along the track. There were a few muggles but they did not cause any hassles with each search. A combination of the hint and accurate coordinates led to a quick find. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks Diadem and TaurusSix for this cache and the series.

another quick find at gz all's good with the cache . met up with 63ROOS at this cache and had a chat . Thanks TuarusSix and Diadem

I had just got back home from shopping trip 1 of 2 even i saw a number of notifications come out. This was to an area i had been recently - albeit the other end. It took me an hour from the publication to arrive, and the last notification was only a few minutes before i had left the house. A nice walk was commenced. The cache was found at GZ, signed and logged. I looked for the cache nearest the start but decided i would leave it in car anyone else turned up. I then found #2 and #3 before going to the end where i had a previous first send working back from there. The thought being that if anyone else turned up I'd meet them half way. On my way back, i spotted a person with a torch near the water bit it was only a fisher in waders near the water. As i competed the log, two cars came down the road - i thought perhaps cachers - bit they lingered for a few minutes then drove off. So anyway thank you Diadem and TaurusSix for placing these caches for our enjoyment.
