Back to Port Sorell today to hopefully find the last of the caches here as we try to get to 25k by the end of November. Its a futile quest but if you dont try it has zero chance.We had a lovely day walking the reserves with splendid weather and a tasty picnic lunch.This one took a little longer than it should have but then we remembered what we should be looking for . TFTC Angus
Back in Devonport for a few weeks, looking after grandchildren. A great opportunity to go on adventure each day.Having a few days break in Port Sorrell, so picking up a few in the area. A nice walk around the bushland and an easy enough find at GZ.Thanks Angus88 for placing the cache and doing the maintenance needed, so we can find this cache.

I'm sad to say the log is gone and cache was found laying on ground in the open.
Have covered with some bark to prevent muggles but will need some maintenance by CO.

After a brief search Grub62 found this cache. All was in good condition. TFTC.
Coords were spot on, the hint was not so much. Regardless a quick find in good order.Left a scout. TFTC
Struggled to find the item mentioned in the hint. It was a lot smaller than we had expected.

We needed a find today to fill a gap on our caching calendar so decided to visit the Port Sorell/Shearwater area again to try to find a few more of the multitude out this way. This was a quick find with the aid of good coordinates and a useful hint. Thanks for the cache
With Easter off from work, it was a good opportunity to try and close the gap on my target for the year. 500 finds for the year is the target, and this run brought me up to 230 odd, so only 3 months in I am on track for this target.
The highlight (and hardest part of this day) was the walk out to the cache Lieu-Pine-Ner at Point Sorell. The walk was challenging due to the number of rocks being very uneven. I was hoping 2 hours, but in the end it took 3 hours. Geo Kid O was still going strong at the end, but it had taxed me.
Thank you for placing this cache and maintaining it.

Out and about caching with Tassie Trekkers around Port Sorell, Squeaking Point, Shearwater and Hawley area and this was one that was targetted. An absolutely glorious day to be out caching. Certainly a lovely reserve. TFTC
So its after five on a perfect autumn afternoon and we're finishing a couple of busy caching days with a quadrella of Angus88's. Bikes are king around this entire area, with so many excellent footpaths, quiet streets, bush tracks and fantastic bike/walkways. This and two more close by were easily had and logged.All in good nick and useful hidey holes. TFTC Angus88
Found with Lil Rafa and the geogsp. Staying in Port Sorell for a couple of days. Lovely sunny afternoon for a walk, great walking track. A new cache in this reserve since our last visit to the area. TFTC TNLN log dry.
Thanks for the cache Angus88.
In the area for a couple of days with RLD4963 and the GeoGSP.
When we visited this reserve back in October, this and caches #2 and #3 had not been published, so we were keen to revisit today and complete the series.
All three caches we found today were nice quick finds, and all containers are in good order.
Many thanks for adding to the caches in the area.

Found it, very cool stump, would look amazing in a garden, but seems happy where it is. TFTC
Thank you for the cache from GeoMaggie and her sidekick Bonnie. Not a good place for M and B too many lovely smells
All was quiet when we arrived at this location at lunch time. Accurate coordinates and the hint led to a quick find. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks Angus88 for the cache.
When I saw the three new caches in Pitcairn Reserve published mid morning it was my intention to look for them the next day but when checking the BOM for weather and seeing rain was forecast, not having much else to do I made the a quick trip to Port Sorell and managed to find them without any difficulty. This was my first find so now off to No 3.
