Back in action

All good apparently

Don't Panic!, this cache is alive and well cause we just found it, surprisingly quickly. It is no longer "under" as in the clue...but on top...ish, see photo.Lovely coast to be exploring, thanks from a couple of kiwis caching in Tasmania.

Will Check

No luck today

Thanks for the great walk. Didnt find the cache

Had a read back through logs last night so thought we would have another look today. I was hopeful but another 20 minute search and we came up empty handed. No doubt a cacher with 10 finds will find it next week with an easy find log, only as good as your last find. TFTH

Unfortunately this one eluded us today. TFTH

Found the location but not the cache. It was getting dark & cold so had to call off the search.

Just a light bit of exercise for the day after getting the steps in had to do some weight lifting too sneaky

Beautiful walk around the peninsula. Took a little to find it, brute force required.

Looked everywhere under logs, trees, rocks high tide made it a bit tough

Had a good look around but couldn't find it and I'm not one to stick my hands in holes or places i can't see into.

TFTC

Found it

That was hard to spot!! After a good hunt around I spotted something familiar. Hard to see against the background but managed to. Lovely spot. TFTC.

Visiting from Canberra with Aramil_au. This was on the ground. I wedged it back in so it can be found.

2nd attempt, failed to find. Very windy so we didn't stay too long.

Our final stroll for the day & the end of our holiday in Tassie. TFTC

Camping near Sawnsea, so searched for various caches.Found the object the GZ was pointing to, but a look around initially found no cache.Yet physically lifting the entire object off the ground finally revealed the cache.Hopefully the cache placed location is easier for the next finder.

BeautIful day on the east coast. Stopped to check on one of my caches and decided Id stretch my legs and keep wandering around to this spot. Only had my phone so coords were all over the place, but located the cache with a little to-ing and fro-ing. Had read a few logs prior to getting out of the car, so came armed with a new log. Signed that, replaced cache and wandered back along the beach, keen to do a bit of beachcombing. Unfortunately nothing of interest to collect, but lovely walk nonetheless. Thanks for the cache and the walk Budgietas.

Nice shelter part of the beach and on a lovely walk TFTC

Took a little bit of a search, but was found. A nice stroll in the morning before heading North with BraydsSA. TFTC SL

Found with Sparrow as we explore this side of Tassie. X marks the spot.

I knew the location as soon as we arrived at destination but the little sucker was hiding good and proper!! Thanks for a picturesque find. We wouldn’t have come here if it wasn’t for the find.

After a lovely stroll along the beach we made a quick find and wrote our name over another in the full log sheet

TFTC

Gorgeous walk on a fabulous winters day. Thanks

Found it, almost had us stumped, logbook is full

Nice hide TFTC

Found it log seems to be full thank you

Lovely view

Certainly a stunning location tftc

Caching around Tasmania. TFTC.
Nice quick find. Lots of burning across the bay.

Clever and took some looking. Tftc.

Found on 13/4/2023; find number 1637.
After a DNF due to muggles near the AL bonus gz, this was a nice easy find after. Quick stroll. A couple of circuits soon had me at an Nile where things looked right and bingo, there it was.
Log is chockers, but I managed to find a spot. Log signed and returned, then off for an early dinner with a view across the bay




Thanks for the hunt and the cache Budgietas.

Well spotted by pominaus

I had a quick look around, reread the clue, spotted something a little bit out of place and soon had the log to sign after I had found a spare spot. TFTC

TFTC Budgietas, Cache found in open, so have replaced it where i imagine it came from. It needs a new log, signed near top sideways. Sorry didn’t have any with me. A beautiful spot, with a water view. We are on a 3 month trip around Tassie. This water is so blue & even the sky is blue. Jabak123

Found! Log is full so will try to bring down another piece of paper before we leave!

Took a bit of searching as using phone rather than GPSr today. Nice hide. Greetings from Edinburgh. TFTC

We were fortunate to meet another cachet at this spot - it very rarely happens for us. Loved the ingenuity and effort. Tftc

It didn't take long to find this one. As I was about to return the cache, a couple came walking along the track, looking at their phone. They initially walked past a bit but then stopped and looked back. Hmmmm, could they be geocaching? Yes they were and it was great to meet them.
Turns out they are from my home state of NSW and we know mutual people.
Great fun all round.

Quick find for us here, love a cammo like this, TFTC

Quick find by Sammiiej. Well built. Log nearly full

Ran into another cacher at this site - first time we’ve ever had this in Tassie. TFTC

Found it today walking around the point, no one with me so will try and come back tomorrow. This is such a lovely walk kind if reminds me of Mount Maunganui in NZ.

Very neat hide. TFTC

Enjoyed this walk around the point.
Nice hide. Fav point.

Nice to stop the car and have a walk to find these two geocaches round the Point .

Easy find....Net61 had already found it when I arrived ....

Out n about with m4yb grabbing a few caches.
Following my Neighbour all around the area, good on you olthomas! Great hide and cache have an FP for your work.
Thanks for the hide & Budgietas

Megawat60 and I are now in Swansea! Happy that persistence helped in finding this clever cache! TFTC!

TFTC nice hide #300 for me

Find 42 of 43 during a day first spent amongst the fir trees, then on a lunchtime walk around Sorrell, the TTSS run from Kellevie to Rheban and then an evening walk around Swansea.

Even in the dark this is a spectacular location. We found this much quicker than the previous cache despite this one being much more sophisticated.

TFTC Budgietas!

Tricky but good! We don’t have a pen so couldn’t sign.

Short stop fir a coffee and two caches. This one discovered Trüffel5chwein.

Thanks for hiding

Found by The Empire + H with Masteroh
A wonderful wander around the bluff - lucky to grab this one, it kind of fell out when I started my search! Awesome views from here. Thanks fo the cache Budgietas.

Took us quite a while! The other comments helped to know we were looking for something sneaky!

Out on an evening stroll to look for caches. Took us a short while because we missed what was obvious. Geodad made the find. TFTC!

Im from canberra to visit Hobart see my friend 63ROOS take me to drive around to country and find few caches.. the weather is ok,,,, tks

Tricky spotted by geohusband while geokid was standing on it!
TFTC Great view

found after breakfast, nice box! tftc

EPunkt had the right grab for this cool cache. TFTC + FP.

Nice hide but as we made the same Camo for our cache it didn't take to long TFTC

About to give up when I suddenly spotted the cache. It turned out to be where I originally thought GZ was.

TFTC

Found it after a bit of a search great cache

So clever took a fair while to find had to read threw the comments to get a few hints as a few other people I had my hand on a few times before I realised well done on a fanatic and fun cache

Hi Budge
A beautiful sunrise in Swansea this morning
Drove round to Waterloo Point, crossed the golf course and made a quick find on this cache
The lid was loose and almost falling off the cache
Extracted my leatherman and tightened it again - all good now
Enjoyed the view here
TFTC and cheers

Great cache! Well done!

Very clever

Awesome hide

Thought we would have trouble here but a quick find was a relief. Enjoying this walk! Tftc

Quick find today out and about with red tag and ToolboxTas on our Fluid February tour of Tasmania. This one followed on from the other around the point but didn’t look for the trig.

A nice walk today. Thanks for the cache Budgie!

A 4x4 Trip with my good mates ToolboxTas and Swampy (aptly called our 'Fluid Tour' because we made it mostly up as we went along) brought us to this cache.
The boys once again did the hardwork here while I fluffed around. The location is great.
Thanks for the cache Budgietas
red tag (Cathy)

Thanks

Thanks

Down for our regular summer pilgrimage to Swansea and as we missed last year there's a few caches to catch up on. We looked for this one earlier in the day but with no luck. Returning in cooler evening conditions and less muggle activity we were determined to make a find. Overthinking was our biggest issue. After searching the area for a good while, a very clever hide was located. Fav point from us. SL TFTC Budgietas.

Found with JAMS35. Very clever hide. Great view. Definitely deserves a fav.
TFTC

Well, that was tricky. Took us awhile but with very accurate co-ords, finally had the cache in hand. Well done on a great hide. With Monks 55. Fav from me.

Picked the cache up twice without spotting it, later saw the lid! Great area and view. Good cache

Found while staying in the area for a few days. Found with the aid of accurate coordinates and the hint, liked the cache construction. Favourite point awarded. TFTC

Working my way from north to south along this stunning coastline in lovely Swansea i parked the GeoMobile around at the carpark that faces Coles Bay, near an Anchor.

Took the walk around to this one then to grab the Loontiteternalehoinerirre cache on my way back.

Whilst here i had to wait it out for about 2 minutes for a Muggle to become out of sight

I was looking for about a minute then i thought I'd try something a bit different and it was CIH

Well created... nice work with this sneaky-as hide
Nice and tricky, great camo! it gets a Favorite Point from me

The log within is dry.

Maybe next time with more time

No luck for us today

Found with RGSBruce on Day 9 of our trip to Tassie (his fifth, my fourth).

I'm a bit behind on writing up my logs, so what he wrote.

Day 9 and the second last day of HerIndoorsOutdoors and my trip to Tassie.

Today our plot was to travel from Bicheno, via Coles Bay, to Swansea, where we were to stay tonight. Another long trek . As this isn't a dedicated caching holiday, our plan of attack was to see what might be on our route, work out if it might take us somewhere interesting and if the answer is yes, go for it.

We got to Swansea pretty early, so the plot now was to see what we could find around town. After finding ET Pier, we took another little drive around to the bottom of the walking track to have a go at Loontiteternairrelehoiner (2) and this one. Loontiteternairrelehoiner (2) didn't take long to find and the rest of the walk to GZ was pleasant.

This was a surprisingly quick find as we weren't sure exactly what we were looking for (as usual). The cache camo is very similar to another cache I've found on Phillip Island. Cleverly executed and worth a FP.

The cache is in good condition.

A very sneaky hide. I even had cache in hand without realising it. Just as I went to put it back as I found it, that’s when I noticed there was something slightly different about it. Signed log TTM and replaced cache as found. TFTC.

Found with Lil Rafa and the GeoGSP . TFTC TNLN log dry. a weary walk was had to this cache, worried about wayward golf balls from golfers but this time we were safe from danger only two golfers were on the field at the time of our stroll to GZ and they were looking in the bushes most of the time for their balls over the other side from us, don't know if they found them or not. a good day out with good company.

Needed a stretch of the legs and this cache gave us a perfect excuse. We've walked this track before but the views are still as good. It was a very clear day & we could see for miles. Once at GZ, Mrs H spied the well camouflaged cache before long. TFTC Budgietas!
Cheers,
The Hancock Clan

A clever hide. TFTC

TFTC. Great spot.

Sadness

TFTC

Well that took us a while. Great hide . out with i dont have one . TFTC

Great hide! Beautiful place

Nettieknows and I stopped into Swansea for the evening on our way from Hobart to Launceston.
We decided to take the dog for an evening walk and stop by this one, arrived at HZ and the search began only so many spots it could be. Finally I managed to spot something out of place and sure enough it was the cache
TFTC

TaurusSix and I came here and we were muggled out. They were far to close, and kids too. So we backed off.
After a few more finds we came back and the last was clear, literally. After a short search we found the cache.

Hi Budgietas, having a really BIG trip today ...... Triabunna to Swansea. Four nights there, two nights here. So this was an easy pull over whilst towing the camper. Now set up in camp, the missus rhubarbroad sprained her ankle looking for the Budgietas multi at Spikey Bridge beach, so its down to me for this one. Very clever; I was alert to this sort of skullduggery having just found two or three like this in the TTSS trail south of Orford. Thanks for a neat cache. Take a favourite !

What a great way to start the day with this lovely walk out around the headland to GZ.
Once there a quick find was made of this nicely hidden cache.
Thanks.
