Tasmania Trip Day 8. After arriving in Hobart yesterday afternoon and having a nice walk before dinner, today my aim was to visit some counties to the south west of the city. I did not go onto the island, but I did the rest of the counties. It was not the most successful of starts to the day, but I reached the numbers I was hoping for and headed back into town where I went for a much longer walk around the middle of the city and docks to do about six sets of Labs. By the time that was all done I was looking forward to dinner and a long nights rest.I walked down the steep steps too the area with this cache. It is great that the council have connected these green spaces even though the ground it very steep.Thanks for the cache TasTyphoons45987.26 TNLNVisited: World Traveling Gold GC A#6 & Flying Skull A#121**Albida**

Happened upon this series while on errands in the area, even though I don’t have a child in tow. Yet another gorgeous park in the area. This is my 900th cache, so definitely a “jewel in the crown”. Thanks for the cache and for bringing me here.

We are visiting family who live in Blackmans Bay and as we were out walking our eagle eyed son spotted what he believed was a cache. We had thought we’d found all the caches in the area so checked the map. Lo and behold, there was a new series since we had visited last. So we convinced our grandson to go on a treasure hunt with us. It was a great circuit and all the caches were easily found, partly because of the very descriptive hints. Thanks so much for this series of caches, we thoroughly enjoyed the adventure.

Just coming from the (BBA 3 - Go Home ET) cache i used the handy laneways from there, across Amethyst Drive then through to this park to some intensely yappy dogs, which thankfully there were none of at GZ.
A nicely hidden cache here in a deep recess so the cache is well out of Adventurous and Curious Wee Muggles' sight.

The cache was located and the log signed at 11:56 on Monday 19 July 2021.
The cache and contents are in A1 condition Cool Re-hid deep in that hidey spot Smile

Today we decided to head to Kingston - Snug and surrounds and towards Mount Wellington to 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.

We collected the required information, a quick find at GZ. Cache and contents were in good condition.

Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.

Lady membsec had an appointment in town so we decided to continue heading south after that appointment. The weather was perfect for caching.

Wow, you want us to go down there??!! We did go down there and the cache was quickly found. Clue collected.

TFTC
 
We walked to this one from number 3 and after a short up hill we made out we were out of puff old men as we waited for a couple of young whipersnappers to leave, with the coast clear, it was a quick search for this one and we added our names to the log in no time at all.

The CO has found a great spot for a cache with this one, with a lot of urban hides i'll turn and think well this one isn't going to last long, but this hide could last a long time if finders dnt give it away.

thanks for the cache.
 
20-Mar-21
Oh that's steep! We slugged up the hill heading toward an elaborate looking staircase only to find a girl with a scooter and a guy waiting for her. We did what any unfit middle aged blokes do naturally - we stopped to 'rest' whilst huffing and puffing like the big bad wolf! Once they;d gone SSR swooped on the cache, he has suitably impressed with the hidey hole.
Right now we had 3 our of 4 numbers and a pretty good idea of the missing one so its off to calculate the final.
Thanks TasTyphoons

Hello TasTyphoons thank you for the cache

This one was a nice quick find and the second find in this series.
Now to walk back to the car.
I didn't realize this one had some information I required until finding another two of your caches in this series, so I had to come back and find the information required.

After a busy morning, RLD4963, the GeoGSP and I headed out to grab a few geocaches before the rain arrived.
We thought we had time to complete this series, and now we were up to no 4. A nice quick walk and find at GZ. Now to put that info we had collected all together.

A day caching with Oldsaint started on the domain and ended up in the channel.

Nice little walk to the cache, but worked out later that I parked in the wrong location for both 3 and 4

Great cache hiding spot.

Quickly found. Then had to get it again because I didn't realise the hint was there to collect. Thankfully TaurusSix was on the ball.
