Have found this cache already, and visited it again to help a fellow cacher find it. Cache is no longer there as the whole area has been burnt out and the only remains of the cache is the metal spiral that was on the log book. Plastic container has all gone. Not even a melted blob left as the bushfire that went through this area was intense. Seems the CO is not interested in replacing this cache

Archived as I haven't been up north to replace it.

Burnt

seems like that the cache is not replaced yet, couldn't find it

I think the fires have claimed this cache. Found what was left. See pic

Went looking for this one tonight, couldn't seem to find it! Hopefully the recent fires haven't wiped this one off the map!

Road is currently closed, I shall make a special trip out once it's open to see if cache was damaged in the fire. Fingers crossed its safe!

THANKS FOR THE CACHE SNUVA PS my Mum 'G'' says hi

Fantastic spot and the perfect day to be up there with those wonderful views!
GPS was having a bad day but we managed to sort it out eventually after a tourist group in a minivan left.
Left behind a Scout and a very upset spider whos web I destroyed on the way down. TFTC

Beautiful home scenery!

Chugged up the hill and down the track to GZ where the cache was found in good condition. La Kedi opted to climb the tower and try the semaphore signal only to find it locked. Thanks Snuva.

Up, up, up we went to the semaphore tower, then down the path to GZ. Doesn't look like it gets a lot of use!
Between the overcast afternoon's weather and the electrics up here, my GPSr wasn't wanting to settle. I checked one rock then moved off elsewhere while The Marble stayed in that area and soon found it . It's in good condition. After replacing it, I tried to signal using the semaphore but the chains were locked . So I climbed the blue tower for an excellent late afternoon view of the area. Fantastic. TFTC, Snuva. =^.^=

Fun

Easy find

Easy find in the dark.

Travelling around Australia and now in Tasmania!

Headed out on a glorious day to visit Bell Bay and George Town.

The morning was indeed glorious but after lunch it was a bit windy but still sunny.

We managed to find your cache today.

By George we found it!

TFTC Snuva

Nice bit of history to go with the spectacular views out over the Tamar. An equally spectacular sight was had on the drive out as passed a couple of very fit honeys out for their morning hike.. thanks..!!

Found after a search with Chriswhite62

TFTC took a bit of time to find . Great views from up here

TFTC snuva. Great location for a cache. Wonderful views and history. Jimmytherat

Found it 03 02 2015 took me twenty minutes to find it but it was well worth the effort , lovely views to be had from this area. Ewe

Came to look at the view and happened to see there was cache near by, how could I resist. Left kangaroo pin and took dinosaur

found it.
TFTC

By George I made hard work of this one! While the egg and kids climbed the big blue monster I bush bashed to the cache. After I finally found it I found a very easy track back. Our last find for the day as the sun was setting. Great views! TFTC

Staying in Launceston, we spent today driving up and down the river, before checking out the Cataract Gorge. We seem to be following another group of Canadians around Tasmania based on the logs.

Enjoyed the sunshine and views here. Met a local who showed us the older lookout he remembered - you wouldn't have seen anything from there today. Quick find of the cache once we slipped away.

Here in Tasmania for a week as part of our epic journey through SE Asia, NZ, and Australia.

We have returned from Canada to discover a few more Australian caches! What a great way to explore the Land Down Under" ...
Great view on a very windy day.
Thanks for the fun Snuva!

The sign to the lookout caught my eye, so off we went to investigate. When we arrived at the top I had a quick look to see if there was a cache here. Sure enough only 100 or so metres from the parked Spangle. Woohoo, a view and a cache Just the way I like my lookouts.

I arrived at GZ and it took only a second until the beasty was in hand. After signing the log I replaced the cache as it had been found. Rightio, off to view the view!

Thanks for the cache Snuva

Wow, what a view!
Loved this area, thanks for taking me there Snuva!

Found it

Nice find with dermie2310! TFTC

Awesome spot, nice find. TFTC

Spend time at George Town and Low Head. Enjoyed wander and very interesting about history and sculpture - very impressed me... The weather isn't cold just windy but lovely... Thanks Snuva.

I think we managed to turn this one into a T2.5 as we arrived to find a gang of workmen plus a HUGE crane parked just up from the lookout tower with a "don't come any closer" look to things. So one of us went for a bush sneak (couldn't bash for fear of giving ourselves away) around the back way whilst the other took in the view & generally acted as touristy distraction. Saw nothing of the previously mentioned "boardwalks" or "informative signs". They must have been hiding behind that HUGE crane. But sneaker did finally hit a nice gravel path after his bush bashing, sorry sneaking, & it was all plain sailing from there. Apart from the return sneak that is. And the 6-point turn to poke downhill again.

Nice boardwalk and very informative signs about nature and history. Especially the old communication tool, never seen one of those before. And what a great views from the lookout. Cache was found too and the whole experience worth favorite. TFTC Snuva.

First find of the year!

Found on a beautiful sunny day. Cache in good condition. Took TB. TFTC

Found today

Made our way up the boardwalk and then realised that if we'd just walked up the laneway we'd have taken the direct route up the hill. Didn't go to the top of the lookout to see the view as it was inhabited by a group of very excited Japanese girls. Good cordinates made for a quick find. Dropped off a new TB to start it's journey. TFTC

a wet and windy day. I didn't know there were so many aerials up here. Coordinates and description were spot on. There was a little lizard guarding the cache! Hope there aren't any legless ones there in summer! TFTC

While on our way to George Town stopped to pick up a few caches along the way. Interesting view and story about the structure nearby. TFTC

Some great views from up on the tower which was being painted. Well yhe painters were there but it was too wet and windy for them to work.
Some interesting things to look at up here.

We climbed the blue monster and did the boardwalk. A shame that the garden has mostly disappeared - it must have been well tended in between the messages! TFTC.

Logbook is full.
Nice view??

3rd time lucky, finally found and also found a snake!!!!

Thanks for showing me that place. It's the first semaphore mast I've ever seen. TFTC!

Great views and a lovely peaceful stop! Trackable coin retrieved and one dropped off- come collect it and help it on its way!!

Day 7 of our escape from the NT trip, seeking some relief from the tropical build up

Wow what a great location, one with the lot; views, history and artifacts. This was just screaming for a puzzle cache. Well worth a fav point for the location.

TFTC

Just about to finish our Tasmanian holiday and decided to spend these days in and around Launceston gathering a few caches. Found quickly after using our geosenses.

TFTC

We from Central Coast NSW.... Lovely warm today but strong wind at moment. enjoyed caches on georgetown around as my mother live here... nice stroll to gz as good spot co-ords.. hide very well thanks

A quick drive to the lookout, our first cache of the day on our trip around George Town and Low Head. Fabulous history in this area. TFTC

After having spent the night nearby we drove up the hill to look at this one before heading to Devonport. Walked around to check out the view and the history then found the cache in the first location we inspected. Cache is in good condition. TFTC

Thanks Snuva for placing this cache up here. A fantastic view and a history lesson. TFTC TNLN

I like the history connecting to State of Frusration cache final at Mount Direction that starts in Werribee Vic . -tftc

While using the Batman Bridge camp as a base to leave the caravan this was one of the caches we were able to do. We love the area and scenic outlook. thanks Snuva

Nice

found it on 4 wheel drive trip around Tassy.

Great spot to eyeball the country side

Hi Snuva
Great cache; definitely one of your best!
Annie and I walked to the semaphore together - proud of her for doing so for various reasons.
After finding the cache and signing the log at 1618hrs it was up the steps and happy snaps time.
TFTC and cheers;

quick stop for a look on the way out of Georgetown
left TB for others
TFTC

Nice views of the "G" and surrounds. TFTC.

Good easy find with good clues. TFTC TNLN

A quick find on our quick trip to George Town. Great views. Greetings from NZ. + TB SL. TFTC.

This is such a great place. Managed to get some nice photos as the weather was kind for once. Thinking we managed to get some free energy into the GPS batteries as well,lol Not sure we would want to stay there to long. TFTC

Thought all the transmitters were playing games with the GPS. All good and turned out to be an easy find. TFTC

10th find for the day!!!!! Found the spot eventually. Thought we were getting wacked out readings from all the towers. Nope....ended up easy find. Fantastic views.

There has been a lot of work done in this area, with the viewing tower, boardwalk and nature trail. Unluckily for us it was drizzling while we were there, so although we could see the views were magnificent, it was impossible to pick out a lot of detail. Would be great on a clear sunny day.
TFTC

Lovely views from top of the blue monster. Even climbed the little white monster. Quick find and back to the car as it was another very windy day.

Found on a windy day. Lovely views and a great place to visit. Took bee TB. TFTC

Tnln. Sn. Good cache and great view.

13/04/2011 21:33 Found: #376 An easy walk from the car park using my phone torch to show the way. Must have been all the trees because the GPS didn't want to settle down so took of awhile to find GZ. I kept looking on the wrong side. Once there it was a quick find. Looked over the lights of George Town ans Bell Bay. Dropped a TB in this larger dry cache. TFTC TN SL TB IN: TB3BJ0Q

Fantastic spot. Cache was low on swaps so took nothing, left dinosaur, car and gel pen.

An enjoyable towards the cache. Found it. Great Town.
Thanks Snuva for the cache.

Actually got to this one before SteKer. Was wondering if I was stalking them seeing I'd found so many after them on the same day.

Found GZ didn't find the cache, walked away and looked back at GZ....ah! there it is! SL Took Ozzi Capsule TB TFTC

Nice spot have been before, nice to return for a cache. Left Trackable Adventure Guide- Ozzi Capsule TFTC

Found this great spot while hunting gnomes in the gca race

What a view tftc

No Idea that this place existed. I actually lived on the other side of the river for 20 yrs.
Thanks for bringing us here, very interesting history
