By Budgietas on 13-Sep-21. Waypoint GC9G9H0

Thanks for this bonus cache Budgietas.I did enjoy a walk around the quarantine station reserve completing the Adventure Lab before hand to obtain the final coordinates.Then I was able to make a quick find here.All is well at GZ Cheers,EPs

Got a bit confused about which gate I was meant to exit and thought I had to exit the property itself. Fortunately I managed to find my way anyway and it wasnt too much of a detour. TFTC!

Last time, we did the caches at the quarantine centre - we came back to finish the series as we run out if time the other time. Nice walk, the beach offers a lot of interesting artefacts! Thanks!

Nice quick find after completing the AL. Cache in good condition. This cache allows me to qualify for an e.gregory1 challenge so thanks for that . TFTC

Taking some time off to explore more of the apple isle with Roaming Howie. Day Two: Bruny Island, Mt Wellington and various caches & AdLabs along the way.

We decided we had enough time to quickly venture up this way to enjoy the AdLab and its bonus.

Thanks for bringing us here by placing this cache, Budgietas

It was time for a return trip to Tassie to explore the southern part of the state. I paired up with OzHockeyChick for a 5 day caching blitz with some sightseeing in between. Today was Day 2 and we were exploring around Hobart, Bruny Island, Mount Wellington and surrounds.

Given we had mortgaged our homes to get across to Bruny Island for 1 cache, we figured we had better make the most of it, so we ventured around to this spot to explore some more.

There were some interesting sights to see, and after solving the adventure lab we set off to collect this bonus cache.

Thanks Budgietas for adding this cache to the worldwide collection for us all to enjoy.

Found the cache,stamped. Thanks for the hint. After the morning walk on the beach and the AD fence jumping wasn’t going to be good. We saw the orchid in the green house. Very interesting travel around that place, all be it longer than it needed to be. Thanks for placing and maintaining this lab and cavhe

Found on a trip to Adelaide from South Australia.

After landing in Hobart this morning and picking up a hire car from the airport I thought I’d try and find a few caches before catching up with family and friends.

After completing the associated Adventure Labs, it was off to GZ for a quick find.The cache and contents are in good condition.

Thanks Budgietas for the Adventure Lab and bonus cache.

Another beautiful day in Tassie as we lead up to a very quiet Christmas. The wind has dropped making for very calm weather on Bruny Island. We loved our walk around the Quarantine station before travelling on to our campsite at Adventure Bay.

Thank you for the cache.

Found and signed on Bruny Island while on a 10 day Geocaching holiday with my love doing what we love doing most. [:X]

In our AdLab log, we were a bit hard on the CO for making us do this adventure lab in sequential order.
If we had a bit more time we would have loved visiting and revisiting these sights again and again.
As it turned out, our own pigheadedness to finally get this bonus cache cost us a chance to visit the lighthouse.
Here is hoping for a next time.

We were chased South a little early by the weather, so my partner catnap777 and I just set up camp in Hobart and beyond for a little while longer which suited us just fine. We had a lot of geocaching business down there and were keen to find out just how far South this game would take us. [^]

TFTAdlab&Bonus Budgietas. It really is an amazing and historical place to be enticed to.

Found cache and log signed with dalerious after completing the Adlab . Twas a beautiful area for both caches, but I have to admit that the Adlab would have been completed easier if it was non sequential, as each waypoint had us re tracing and going over old ground. That would be fine if you had plenty of time on your hands, but dalerious and I were on a mission and we were a tad frustrated because of the lack of time we had to offer. In saying all that, we still enjoyed the whole journey Budgietas .

We had this trip to Tasmania on our wish list very soon after we met. The meticulous planning began a few months ago when we finally set a date to sail to a place that I had been before, but never cached, and for dalerious, a place he cached, but never really got to see the real beauty of this place, and all it's glory. God's country about sums it up.

We started our adventure in the North West and traversed the entire Island in 10 days. We thought the weather was going to thwart our plans, but all it did was change the itinerary a tad.
Where back home was flooding, we had mostly sunshine here; apart from the North of your lovely state, and our thoughts were with those who were affected both here and at home.

Caches here took us to extraordinary places; one's we will never forget.
We also got to meet some cachers; we can't wait to meet the rest .

A huge (ish) walk around the quarantine station. 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.

Interesting place. Thank you

This was my first adventure lab find. Thanks for taking the time to put all of this together! If like me you come by boat make sure you follow the correct order. I read the description and thought it started at the gate. Had to walk all the way back to the jetty to find the first clue. Hi to the other cacher family I met along the way!

Hot day for a walk but we found it!

Took longer than I’d originally anticipated but we had a great time wandering around the station for the morning. Thanks for the cache

Spent a while trecking back and forth to find all the information. Found cache and logged. Cache in good condition. Photo of log added. We found a lovely large echidna and spent some time sitting and watching it. Nice quiet spot. Thank you Budgiteas for bringing us here, it is so similar to Sydney's quarantine station but on a smaller scale.

Staying on Bruny Island this Bonus Cache was on our to do list. A great walk as we collected the required information for this cache. We were here earlier this year but did not have time to walk around this historic location.

Cache and contents were in excellent condition with spot on co-ords, and adding to our favourites.

Thanks Budgietas for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.

We enjoyed our stroll around the grounds of the Quarantine Station. We have visited here a long time ago but today we enjoyed soaking up more of the history in the footsteps of returning soldiers. A quick find once at GZ.

A very enjoyable Adventure Lab in a place that we've been to before, but before covid. I can now relate to the history a lot more! After completing the AL, I decided to explore further and head down to the end of the point where there are some interesting cliffs. It's a beautiful walk. Thanks Budgie for setting up this interesting AL and bonus cache, and thanks for the FTF! FP given.
Cheers,
The Hancock Clan
