Left a little gold in there for the next person to come find it. Ignore the light pole.
GZ is accurate and obvious. Tried to extract one suspicious looking object from the base of the tree, but to no avail. Moved around to the other side of the tree and quickly located the cache. Thanks for another one today icybeetas.

Gardening work has tidied up and the cache has been removed. I will replace as soon as convenient,
Beware. Muggles scout leaders I assume.
No sooner did I park my car that 3 of them stopped what they was doing and one came and asked me to leave. I never even got out of my car. RUDE.

#12672 - 5:16:00 PM; Jumped through all of the hoops and made it to Tasmania for a couple of weeks of R&R with family. Today we headed to Hillwood to the Berry Farm, then on to Exeter and Launceston for some retail therapy, before heading back to base through Lilydale. Stopped off for some caches along the way, including this one. After a DNF on the road in, had no problems locating this one and adding my name to the log. TFTC icybeetas
During this hectic time of year I needed a bit of me time with trusty geo-molly dog. Found this nice and easily and cache and contents are in good order.
This is my last one today as Hay fever has got the better of me.

Took a slight detour to Rocherlea to retrieve a moveable published 6 years ago for a GCA task and found a couple of nearby caches before heading home via Cressy. The mountain has been climbed for this month. TFTC
Easy find as soon as we got to gz
Found with ProjectLichen, Pookisportal and UmRyancool TFTC

Visiting the north of the state with RLD4963 for the long weekend.
Spent the morning going for a little jog around Launceston, and then after refuelling, headed out for an afternoon of caching.
This was a nice quick find at GZ.

Today we are geocaching in the North, covering the general triangle between Scottsdale, Lilydale and Launceston and collecting as many caches along the way as practical.
Heading back into Launceston , it was definitely very quiet here on late Sunday afternoon. Cache quickly located and logged. TFTC

Had a district Scout leaders meeting here tonight and since I was parked a couple of steps from the cache and I was early it just made sense....
Our last cache for the day and for this trip to Launceston. Managed to park right next to this one. Well the sign said we couldn't but as there wasn't a muggle in sight we didn't think it would hurt to be here the short time it took to find this one.
Thanks.
Thanks.
Hello icybeetas thank you for the cache
No problems finding this one during a weekend away with EeePees.
Sorry for the late log, trying to cache up a bit.

Study break cache find. Pouring wet day. Took the little gap in the clouds to stretch the legs. I thought the clue was very cute
Hi icybeetas, thanks for the cache.
An excellent weekend's caching away with AlbyDangles, and at the risk of offending others, it doesn't get much better than that; although sometimes enhanced by others.
The primary goal being to conquer Mount Barrow, but the weather beat us again today, that's twice now that we've been blown off that mountain!
So after chasing a few other caches out that way and then back thru Prossers Road (I recall it was Prossers Forest Road once?) we're back into Rocherlea - where I went to primary school, and attended Cubs here in this hall, and primary school EOY concerts in the adjacent community hall. Like the CO and his family, my family were also involved in scouting here.
I've four Queen's Scouts in my immediate family, but I left the movement after Cubs, returning many years later as Venturer Leader (of sorts) for a while.
AlbyDangles made the find and I dropped in a Travel Bug.
A fav for reasons probably obvious to the CO.
Cheers, EPs.

Quick stop in here this evening on my way home. Cache and contents are all good
Today with the weather not looking so bright in Launceston seemed like a good idea to head to the north west for a full days caching. Started in Latrobe before heading west and finding myself in penguin then detouring back home via penguin and 2 caches in Launceston to top off a long day out. Total of 66 finds and 15 labs for the day
Thanks for the cache

A quick find on this one while in the area today.
Had to be a bit stealthy as the car park had quite a few cars in it, I think they were in the nearby footy club

Even on an early Friday morning, very busy place. Had to dodge the muggles, eventually got a gap in the flow and quick sign and away
Easy find. Hydrangea getting big. With GeoMaggie2. Found, stamped and replaced, with Maggie and Mollie, my GeoWesties, while roaming around Tasmania with our motorhome “Mylittlebus” looking for content for our TASMANIA ALL OVER facebook. Join us there. Thanks for placing this cache (and others), keeping us on our exploring toes.
As I was in the area looking for other caches, it seemed like a good idea to find this one as well, once I worked out the hint, it was a very easy find. TFTC icybeetas.
Today we were heading to Swansea for a community event. However we left early so that we had time to detour into Launceston to look for some recently published caches. Muggles posed problems when we first arrived - it looked as though it was smoko at the mens' shed. We went off and tackled another and when we returned, there wasn't a muggle to be seen. Accurate coordinates and the hint led to a quick find of a well hidden and presented cache. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks icybeetas for this cache.
Hi icybeetas, wandered along to find the cache at the Scout Hall before starting work nearby. A picture this morning looking across from GZ to the Footy Oval. Thanks for your hide I enjoyed the area which I had never been to before. Cache dry and nicely hidden.
About town for a couple of hours whilst Loz at work, so some time on my hands to hunt down a few recently placed caches. The place was busy with a meeting underway, all inside however and none too interested in what I were up to.. thanks..!!
A trip to Launceston and Devonport on Thursday and Friday with a a night in Launceston. Thursday was work and Friday was a day off, so I took advantage of the new caches in Devonport and Railton for a run on my way to my target of 500 finds for the year. After a very successful day, I came home with 58 cache finds and 2 and nature lab stages.... so 60 which was a good day considering I was home by 7pm. Thursday weather wasn’t very good, so little was down after work, but Friday was a perfect day for caching. Not to hot not raining.
Really enjoyed a walk along the Tasmanian trail. And all was good until on the back roads to Railton, where one stop I was surprised by a tiger snake, which luckily didn’t seem interest3d in me. To be honest it was about 10 metres away, but going Parallel to my walking path.... I don’t like snakes.
Anyway. Managed to finish The Tasmanian trail whole series which deserves the huge favourite point.
Nice quick find

A quick find at a location I am very familiar with.

I never knew that there was a scout hall up here until now.
Wasn’t anybody about this evening, but I’d imagine it would get pretty busy here at times.
Was lucky enough to get the FTF of this new cache.
