We visited this cache today after receiving info that it may have gone AWOL. Sure enough, some old Council meanie has bulldozed the rocks back!! We suspect it's still there, but unfortunately 'very buried'. [xx(]
We'll place another one in the general vicinity as soon as the Council meanies finish their work and vamoose!
Thanks Caching Kid, Little Bast and Bastvet for the info.

Ran around and did this one - first of the day on a trip from Beauty Point to Hobart to pick up my husband.
A nice little detour - now off to Carr Villa to see if we can be FTF on that one.
Thanks!
Took gel, left toothbrush.

This sport brings us to see some really nice areas, and this is one of them. Easy enough find but then they dont always have to be difficult when the spot is really nice.
Good hiding spot too.
T bambi L shampoo.
Thanks Waterwells.

Hey, I gotta stop trying to find caches in the dark. Went to WP1 and looked at the sign. Bing! Got that one sorted. Off to GZ and was a little worried that I would end up in the water but didn't happen.
Looked around with the LED torch, heard the muggles in the carpark and surrounding houses but never saw any.
Scrambled over / under / around and near toppled one of them onto me. Got to watch those in the dark.
Found cache, logged, replaced. TNLN - swaps in other cachemobile.
Thanks

Finally got back to this cache after the orriginal attempt was foiled by a co-ordinate hic-cup. And glad we did too...This is a lovely little spot that i was unaware of....the local fauna was out in abundance today...big buggers they are too
GPS was spot on...i followed it to GZ and went..there it is...hiding spot is a ripper.
This was the final multi for the day...and it was a great way to top it off...thanks waterwells... TNLN as swaps were left in car and im a lazy sod

LOL... Remembered to take my GPS with me to find this cache, just forgot to bring along my brains (
Was going down to the Riverside Pool to watch a couple of the younger Members of the "mob" so I decided to kill two birds with the one stone.
Stopped at WP1 to get info for WW2, BUT do you think I could work it out !!!!!!
Give up !!! went to the pool, got out the print out, read everyones log, seen how everyone had found it with no trouble, wondered how SOME had worked it out without even going to WP1, THEN..........DOH !!!!!!! how easy was that!!!!!
Know what you mean now Horus about trying tooooo hard.....LOL
This has driven me to placing a Multi-Cache of my own on the way back home, made it an EASY one though, had too, probably wouldn't be able to find it myself otherwise at a later date when checking to see its still OK....
......... you can laugh.............

FINALLY got round to getting this one!
We had some (very good) fish and chips from the shop near WP1 and headed over to near GZ.
Ate our food and waited for some muggles to leave. Once they had gone, over we went.
AndyRat gets the credit for the find while I took some photos.
Forgot our swaps so TNLN.
Thanks Waterwells!!!

We had been in Launceston most of the morning and Horus suggested that Little Bast and I go and find Racing One's Tail. We didn't need waypoint one to find the cache's final resting place, as we had figured it out at home. It didn't take long to find the cache but we had to be careful of GeoMuggles.

Well CraigRat, I left this one for later in the day to give you a head start and allow you to log it first, but from the looks of things you had too much cleeaning to do - or REALLY slept in after the 'cache event'!
I really enjoyed figuring out the hint - very cleverly done Waterwells! As a bonus we saw pelicans! I didn't think there would be any in this area.

Found while visiting from Central Queensland. This was our first wet day after a week of beautiful weather in this lovely State. Also used logic to find second co-ordinates. Took screwdrivers and left a couple of carabiners and a Save the Children badge.
Thanks - Lex.

Visiting from Melbourne, a pleasant walk out from town on a sunny day. My hayfever tells me the plants are actively enjoying the warm weather too! We couldn't see a connection at WP1 and just applied a simple substitution method to arrive at the cache.

Mrs. Waterwells called in to the Vet clinic this morning to say hello and given the cache is only a couple of hundred metres down the road, she thought it would be a good idea to accompany me to the cache so she can check out my "style".
A false start didn't do much for my "style" points, I'd manually put the co-ordinates into the GPS and an error with one digit had me heading off in the wrong direction
After explaining my thinking to Mrs. Waterwells I found the cache without too much trouble, at first it looked like it was going to be a needle in a haystack effort, but turned out to be reasonably easy - I just hope my "style" was good enough to keep the Waterwells amused for a short while!
Took sewing kit and placed Garfield sample DVD. Good one Waterwells - I think we all learned something on this one

Had the pleasure of meeting Mrs Waterwells this morning which inspired me to tackle this one at lunchtime aided by my faithful geohound Thomas aka "GeoSnort". WP1 was rather fun (I did think I was going to be booked for soliciting as I stood on the road for so long working it out).
WP2 proved to be easier and with GeoSnort's help we soon subdued the cache. We had to throw some geomuggles off the scent as well as a council worker by parading up and down the boardwalk a few times investigating the numerous skinks that live under there.
We took the bouncy ball ( as there were nothing edible in the cache this was the only thing that got the geosnort of approval from GeoSnort). Mind you GeoSnort has been known to make short work of anything plastic so we were lucky that only the ball took his fancy. We left a multicoloured necklace.
Excellent cache Waterwells. Had lots of fun

[We scratched our heads for a while at WP1 with cars zooming past.] Thought about vinyards very hard [still no luck....maybe we are blind or really dum...b but it had us licked...will look at it next trip maybe we were a bit cached out by the end of this trip...
