Angus visits Carrick Carrick, Tasmania, Australia
By Angus88 on 01-Jul-21. Waypoint GC9DD04

On a recent maintenance run this cache was missing. It has been problematic at this location so it has been relocated to a safer area.

Nice little town and cache!

Great spot for a stop

An impromptu trip today to bring KingSmev up to Quercus Park for a Scouting abseiling certification course. So I got to do parkrun-walk at Westbury and then what better way to fill in the rest of the day than geocaching!

A pretty quick find, although I initially thought it was a genuine container (for which it was designed) as someone had left a lot of small gravel in it, and it rattled quite well.
I removed the gravel, signed the logbook and re-hid it.

Thanks Angus88, for this caching experience.
Cheers, EPs.

Found.

Thanks, good cache. Left kids swap

Pulled off the highway for Miss 4 to have a toilet break and what a lovely town to stop in. TFTC

Another great find, thank you.

In all my time both visiting Tassie and then living here as from 8 Feb 2021, i have never been to Carrick / Hadspen and Bishopsbourne [:o]

Today the former was visited to grab another "Angus visits..." cache.
I love this small town, it is clean and pretty. Loved the old buildings [:x]

The cache was found and i sat myself down to sign the dry log book at 11:41 on Wednesday 5 July 2023.

(Now for Bishopsbourne, when i'm up here next i will take in Hadspen for [GC98H6R])

Well hidden

Good to fond this as our first one today was a DNF. A special little dog. TFTC

It was a tricky one but I got it

We have been released of grandchildren minding for a few days so we decided to come north to chase down a few caches that have either been placed since our last visit or ones that we missed on our previous travels! It’s been awhile since our last visit!

The placement of this container wasn’t where we were expecting it to be so the step up was harder for the shorter person!

TFTC

Caching around Tasmania. TFTC.
Nice quick find.

It was a bit cool when I left this morning but it looks like it’s going to be a sunny day.
Found, signed and returned, then seen the camera on the nearby house. Maybe it’s their entertainment, watching us search for our treasure

quick stop and sign on our way to Hobart to see Jimmy Carr tonight. Everything in excellent dry condition.

Found it whilst having a barbecue lunch on our 2023 Tasmania trip. Beautiful spot and a lovely town of old buildings and architecture. TFTC

Searched and searched with no luck

Another stop to celebrate Angus, he did get around, what a lucky puppy.

A quick easy find while passing through Carrick today.
TFTC

Very good,

Easy find

Last one before Launceston!! TFTC.

Super cute.

out for the day with my husband tftc

Tftc very sneaky hide

Thanks for placing this cache for us to find as we explored a few areas on our short trip to Tasmania, Angus sounds like he has a wonderful life filled with fun places and love TFTC and the fun

Parked here to go for a ride and run. When we got back decided to check the app and see what was nearby. Found that we had parked 10 m from this one. Bit of a stretch but soon had it. Thank you

Male half stepped up. Tftc

Found it with the help of a friend doing the step up bit.

I think I recall there being another cache at this location a while back?
Anyway this was quickly found with accurate coords and hint. TFTC!

Tftc ️

We took the 'old road' today, through the towns but only stopped for this cache. Miss E did al the work (apart from help up and back down).
A quick find once old mate and his dog moved on !
Thanks Angus88

With geosister H423L travelling to Tassie via ferry from SA
Out doing my 2 favourite things Driving and caching
TFTC

A quick stop here had us grabbing the cache. TFTC

Exploring Tasmania with hellyonfire cache by cache. The weather has kept us on our toes and our ears frozen, and we enjoyed every moment. Thanks to all the cache owners for the creative hides and/or great locations.

I found it

I remember unsuccessfully looking for this one once before but I guess I was naughty and didn't log a DNF for it.
Today it was a quick find and while I filled out the log Mr Beetle went over to have a chat with the impressive looking Cujo dog next door.
We were in the campervan heading home and thought this would be a great overnight camping spot but the signs here warn you against doing that!
Thanks Angus88 for another in this series.

This was a fun one! Tftc!

Thanks for the cache Angus88.
Hooray - third time lucky! Thank you very much for replacing this cache. We were really happy to spot the cache today and sign the log. But, also thank you for introducing us to this top little spot to stop - I like nice tidy public conveniences, and the ones nearby are top notch.

Found while out and about with the 3 Rafas on a holiday trip to the north of the state. TFTC TNLN log dry.

Cool cache.

Nice find

This cache has been replaced.

This is turning out to be a nemesis cache for RLD4963 and I. We were on our way to the northwest coast for the weekend, and we checked to see what we could search for on the way, and saw that this one had been replaced and found since we logged our last DNF. Well, we spent at least twenty minutes both of us searching - we figured there were only so many places to search given the hint.....but no luck for us again. Maybe third time lucky.....

Just found it cheers legend

Checked. All good.

Fourth visit to this site today and this time we had success. The cache and contents were in good condition. Thanks Angus88 for the prompt replacement of the cache and for the "Angus Visits" series.

Replaced.

Will be replaced within the week.

Stopped here, without seeing the needs maintenance log from yesterday. We search unsuccessfully. As per the previous log, this one needs checking.

did not find.

This is our third visit within two weeks and no success. For our second visit we brought a ladder. Between our second and third visit we checked with two previous finders and they gave us exactly the same info. We focussed today's search using that info but still no joy. So we are reasonably confident that this one has gone and that a CO check is required. Thanks anyway Angus88.

Please see our log for details. A CO check is required.

Seems I'm not vertically challenged

Woohoo another cache down! The shortest of us found it

Found it

Had targetted the liffey falls earth cache, and while in the area I cleaned up a few new caches around the area
Thank you for the cache to complete my caching day

Tftc

Had to wait for a couple of muggles to leave but nice quick find tftc

Travelling back home to Launceston from the nw. Came the old road to vary the ride. Glad I had my tall hubby with me. TFTC.

Thanks Angus. Your a champ.

Hi Angus
Fairly inclement weather today, but this cache was nice and dry.
Bit of a stretch for an old fellow.
Many tftc....thoroughly enjoyed....cheers ST.

Have stopped here previously, mum found this one tftc

Nice little spot to stop TFTC

TFTC. Lucky I had dad. Couldn't get up there in crutches.

Out and about today dodging showers to clean up a few caches. This was an easy find so another Angus visits "bites the dust" so to speak. Cache and contents in good condition.

Trip required to Launceston to pick up machinery parts, so being a good weather report, today was the day to combine with a caching expedition as well. 9/10 wasn't too bad for us. Didn't realise this little community hall was this well equipped with bbq's and toilets etc. Would be a pleasant stop in the better seasons. Found the little cache nugget taking into consideration whether or not we were vertically challenged or not ! Thanks Angus88, this is a real doggy day so far !

Readily found.. thanks for another in this most excellent visitations series..!!

Knocking off a few Angus caches today. I’ve been here before for a cache

Hhh

In the area chasing down caches for the current GCA games and stopped to grab this cache. TFTC

??

Very nice little spot even had a guard woofer

Heading to Devonport today, quick detour and a bit of search later and . Tftc Angus

While out and about today we found a few caches on the way and this was one of them.

Cache and contents were in good condition.

Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.

TFTC. Hardest part was getting the log out. Tweezers will be required

Found. Good spot!

Thank you for the cache from GeoMaggie and her sidekick Bonnie. A lovely town to visit.

A quick run out this morning in hopes of a FTF.
There appears to be a signature ahead of mine.
Well the drive out was good and a nice hide that required a search all around. TFTC

Was passing through early and snatched this one but forgot to log. I actually knew Angus. He was a wonderful boy. It is my aim in life now to find all of Angus. Thank you for placing this series in memory of our buddy Angus.
