Took the kids up here for a walk on our holiday. Just staying in Snug so it's close by. Very little water on the falls. Found the spot given by tbe description but no cache tbere. It's definitely gone.
We headed out to get this one from the carpark. I misread the sign and thought it was 2k return so only took half full water bottle. We reached the falls in 30 minutes and began the search, being ignored by a muggle family. We found the tree and the weird angle fern and a suspicious pile of sticks but alas... no cache. Really disappointed not to get this one. Had to ration my water which always stresses me out.
Fantastic hiding spot! Cache was in fantastic condition. We made a couple of little swaps. TFTF!
Been meaning to come here for ages. Beautiful walk in and a real surprise at the size of the falls once we got to GZ. Didn't take long to spot the cache. There were a few muggles around but noone noticed us. The geokids enjoyed playing on the rocks. Maybe not the walk back up to the car. TFTC
Found with geodaughters today. Unfortunately my pen ran out halfway through signing log book, and neither of the pens in the cache worked either. Managed to get 'Tascoo...' written, so will have to do. TFTC
Hello vk7hch thanks for the cache.
Sorry for the late log I have just realised I had forgotten to log a find on this cache of yours.
This has been a very elusive cache.
Trip 1. A very long time ago when I first started caching this was before paperless caching I went to GZ and had a very good search for the cache only to find a possum hiding under a rock, I eventually gave up and went off and found other caches before going home and having a look at the listing. I then realised that the cache isn’t at GZ anyway.
Trip 2. A couple of years later I thought I would go and have another look for it, this time I arrived at GZ only to find a lot of cars in the parking area, so turned around without going down to the falls.
Trip 3. This time I arrived at CZ latter in the day and as before there was two cars in the parking area, I thought because it was so late in the day the people who are visiting the fall would be on their way back up our wouldn’t be there too long and I would wait for them to leave. Anyway as I was walking down I caught up with a couple as they were on the way down. Not to be deterred I passed them and continued down to the falls. At the falls there was a falilt having a great time playing around the pools, but there were obviousaly ready to go as the perants were encouraging them to get a move on. At this point I was thinking I was in luck and might be able to find the cache between them leaving and the others arriving. Not to be as the family was a bit slower leaving than I hopped for and the couple arrived before I could make an attempt on it. I thought I would wait for them to leave as I had plenty of time to kill. But the couple pulled out a picnic rug and sat down on a large flat rock and started to pull out a bottle of wine and food. Well I knew they were coing to out wait me so I headed off home.
Trip 4. This time I meet up with EeePees and Lil Rafa early in the morning. We had the area to ourselves and had a really good search but were unable to find the cache. This is when EeePees contacted you suggesting the cache as missing.
Trip 5. I once again arrived at GZ this time there was that many cars at the parking area that they were parking along the road. So I turned around again.
Trip 6. I mentioned to EeePees that AmazingDaughter and I were going to have a night attempt at finding the cache and take some photos of the falls, and asked if I needed any extra information to find it as he had since found it, he suggested I shouldn’t have any problems but said he would be interested in going when we went. AmazingDaughter and I decided that this was the night to go and find it so I rang EeePees to see if he was available to come along. He suggested I call in on the way past and see if he was free to come along. As I pulled into his driveway he was there with a torch and warm clothing, so he was keen to come along. We parked at the gate to the falls and put on plenty of our warm clothes before started to walk down to the falls under the light of our torches. I spent a long time taking photos of the falls trying to get the right one. IT WAS FREEZING. I then went and found the cache without any trouble.
Thanks for replacing it, and it’s great to get this one off my unfound list.

Beautiful spot, perfect day for a walk. Not much going over the falls but that made it easy to cross the creek to get to the cache. I picked up Chocolate and Joey and I'll take them to North West Tassie next week. Cache was in perfect condition and I was thankful for the pen because I embarrassingly forgot to bring mine. Overall a wonderful cache and I highly recommend it! TFTC! SL.
Found It. All shiny and new!
Dropped Off 2 trackables and picked up one more.
Kids loved the clues. Well Done
A favourite from us.

So glad to convert a DNF to a Smiley! Was watching this, but it was Lil Rafa who told me it had been replaced. Tuesdays are my early knock-off days, and luckily jnr ep had no basketball today, so we headed off on an adventure, on a lovely afternoon. We enjoyed the walk in, and had GZ to ourselves. Not a lot of water spilling over, but it's always quite specky. Under direction, jnr ep made the find. He fancied the multi plier so took that and left a small water pistol and a bubble blower. We also dropped off a TB - a Duck to enjoy the water.
Thanks vk7hch for replacing this cache, for all who follow to enjoy this special spot.
A pseudo FTF, a blank log, in a new cache, in a new location!

Well this one is a turn up for the books, myself and Goose of GooseandEgg walked out to this one on Sunday and searched for about 30 minutes before we gave up, then we spent sometime taking pictures and notes of where we had searched so we can inform the CO since we were sure we were searching in the correct place and wanted to do two things :-
* We were infact searching in the correct place.
* Confirm with the CO that the cache was missing or not.
So I send an email with lots of stuff I didn't want to put in a DNF and get a reply today thanking me for the detail information and saying we can log the cache if we like, I know I sure to be back but will log it today since well I feel like its the right thing for me to do.
We both had a great time walking to and searching for the cache, the falls were flowing but only just and its a great place to be, i'm sure when i return it will be even better.

I have to be honest, we had no intention of coming here today. SSR had a particular cache in mind but a padlocked gate shut that idea down. We chose another that I had wanted to knock over you a long time and then a couple of quickies around the waterfront at Snug.
I pointed out this one to him and we decided to drive up and assess the situation. I have been to the falls before but quite a few years ago and couldn't remember the timing of the walk. So we parked and decided to do the walk. The question was, do we take a rain coat? It had bucketed down a few hours earlier and the skies were looking a little threatening again. Well, we didn't take them and were glad of it!
Upon reaching the falls (trickle) we took a couple of pics and then looked for the marked tree. We found it and had a really good search where we thought GZ was and then a lot of other places too!
We left disappointed but well equipt with evidence of where we believed the cache should be. SSR sent off the pics and email to the CO who answered quickly advising we were in the correct place and giving permission to log it.
We enjoyed the walk and the hunt despite the cache being AWOL. We both agreed we must come back after a good rainy period to see a decent flow.
Thanks vk7hch for the experience

Lovely walk and a fun scramble up to the cliff. Peered and poked around in a couple of likely-looking cracks behind description-fitting trees to no avail... This time. Felt like we'd found the right spot way up the cliff face.. will have to come back for this one! Great spot, very keen to come back
What a beautiful spot especially after all the rain went there with some locals. We are from WA over here playing pool.
Sadly a DNF this morning. However, thanks for bringing me here, its been decades.
No muggles today, but no cache either. Enjoyed a nice walk though, in the excellent company of AlbyDangles, and Lil Rafa with geoGSP. We felt we'd found GZ as described, but the hidey holes were empty. Widened the search for 30 minutes, but left empty handed today.

vk7hch thanks for the cache even though we didn't find it.
The last time I was here There was so many muggles around I didn't bother to look.
Today with EeePees and Lil Rafa and the place to our selves we still came up empty handed.
It was a great walk with great company.

The GeoGSP and I headed off for a lovely walk this morning in the company of EeePees and AlbyDangles in search of, what turned out to be, this elusive cache. We were pretty sure we found the hiding place for this cache as described, but unfortunately nothing revealed itself. We searched further afield, did some scrambling, looked in all possible places, and some places that it wasn't possible. It's been a while since a find was logged for this cache, and between then and now we have experienced all kinds of weather in southern Tasmania, so not sure if this cache has been dislodged by a weather event, or muggled. Nonetheless, this was a great way to start the weekend, with great company - the GeoGSP had a ball!
Found after a long search, the AW marked in the tree is well worn. Hint: The tree has other initials carved too. Once tree had finally been located I started looking for the crack but with poor eye sight i decided just to start climbing as I could really tell where the track was. While up the cliff face it started raining and then some muggles turned up. I scampered up a bit higher than i thought i needed to and then tried to hide between the rock faces. While standing there i looked in a crack and what would you know i was looking right at the cache TFTC
This one has been on my to do list for ages. Had some help today from my two grand children, aged 1 and 2. And their mums. The little ones did a great job walking most of the way in to the falls, not as much on the way back. My daughter loves rock climbing so was keen to help in the find. However she's not so keen on insects and cobwebs. TFTC. Dropped a TB looking for caches starting with 'A'.
Had difficulty with this one. Had to wait for the muggles to clear out first and then the muggle-son made sure it was where I thought it should be and then he wouldn't get it!! He said I had to get it myself because he wasn't a cacher. I'm so glad he didn't get it because the confidence boost and the hand a long the way was gold. A favourite for the experience. TFTC
It's been nearly 9 years since I was last here which is way too long because this is one of my favourite waterfalls, and today was a glorious day for visiting it. On arrival, I was distracted taking photographs, whereas Prionotes was soon busy being intrepid ... and before I knew it -- despite verticality and slipperiness -- he was up there retrieving the cache. I made my way up as well (with slightly less intrepidness, which was disappointing since I am a quarter-century Prionotes' junior), but there wasn't room for both of us at GZ, so I stood a few steps below and let Prionotes sign the log on my behalf. Taking a slightly different route down made life a little easier, and then I took a few more photos before departing. Thanks for the cache.
Sam Carter wanted to photograph the "Comfortable Landing" in the early morning sun and offered me a lift. There was sufficient mud on the track to make it interesting but not so much to make it unpleasant. The pink, red and white heath was in flower and the dew on the vegetation was sparkly in the early sunshine. Lovely spot! And a cache for an extra reward. The "AW" on the tree has dimmed a bit with time (ten years) but the excellent description soon had me with the cache in hand. It has lasted well and I'm surprised that there were not more finds - less than five per year. TFTC, TNLNSL and I'm giving it a "fave". As I said, lovely spot.
Very popular spot today for the easter long weekend.
Waited for most of the muggles to disappear before scrambling up the steep bank with the geo-dog. Met tastigers also hunting for the cache.
Left just as the drizzle came in.
TFTC and the good walk.

As Easter Sunday looked so beautiful, myself, geomum and geodog decided to head to Snug Falls for the first time. After the walk, we sat by the waterfall and I contemplated going for this cache when I saw two people who seemed to be looking for the same thing! It was lovely to meet ordex and swap stories as well as signing the log. TFTC!
What a great spot! This was my first time to the area so the whole place was a pleasant surprise, will definitely return again sometime.
Quite a few people around so we had to wait it out a bit before searching (and trying to memorise how the clues went), didn't take too long to have the cache in hand though!

A challenging find. Only found thanks to my dad. Was a little too high so moved a bit lower
Found this one by accident (I wasn't geocaching at the time), so I didn't realise where it was supposed to be. Currently not quite in the location as described, but is instead close by on the ground.
Once again I made the mistake of getting myself to GZ (ie up the bank near the carpark), reading the hint, and proceeding to examine every tree within a 10m radius. Upon reading the description I then realised that I had wasted the last 20min and that I should head along the road a little way and look in the right spot. I had contemplated visiting here whilst I was nearby anyway, but the cache makes it even more worthwhile!
A short while later I arrived at my destination, took some photos, then proceded to search for the 'prominant rock'. Well, that could really be any of a number of them, so I looked at trees instead. It didn't take long to find the one I needed, and not much longer to pinpoint my target further up the slope. I'm glad it wasn't any wetter than it was today as a bit more mud on the hillside would make the climb more difficult. Of course I also made my way directly upward rather than following the 'path'. I used the path on the way back down though. Before leaving I sat on the rocks and enjoyed the beauty and peacefulness of the location before a group of people arrived down the path, so I headed off to let them enjoy it alone (plus it was home time).

Might be worth replacing the Zip Lock bag with a cache container as the bag has a hole in it and the log is starting to get damp.
Found it, pretty wet today, it's a clay/moss mud slide getting the cache. Probably needs a higher terrain rating, GeoSon had fun getting it and covered in mud from the scramble/slide. The cache need maintenance as the zip lock bag has a hole in it and log is starting to get damp. Day 9 of 31 Days of GeoCaching. TFTC.
It has been ages since we have had time to find a cache, so it was nice to break the drought with this lovely walk. TFTC!
Amazing spot. Just after rain made the scenery spectacular but the scramble interesting
Wet day today, I got soaked through. I followed directions exactly and had no trouble finding the cache once at GZ but the accent up the cliff was a bit hairy in the wet conditions. Thanks for bringing me here again it has been a while.
Hi Swampy
What a great place for a cache!!
Waterfalls are one of my passions and this one did not disappoint. Picturesque to say the least.
I first printed this cache of back on the 6th August 2009 and fully intended to do it then. Got to the car park once before but it was too late in the afternoon that time. On another occasion, it started p-- down with rain so that aborted that attempt. After finding the cache today, I'm glad I didn't make the effort then. Got to the car park today and one car already there.
Down the track and thinking I've got to climb back out of here - I am getting older!!
Arrived at the falls and low and behold, two muggles sitting on a big rock drinking champaigne celebrating a 60th birthday! We chatted for a while and they got a short explanation about caching. They continued their celebrations and I looked for "AW". Okay, up there ay!! Scramble on, goat climbing again and voila a cache without a container. Alls good with the cache! I signed in red!!
Back down the goat's trek and onto flatter terrain. Signed the log at 1422hrs.
Absolutely loved this cache. On the way out, I passed a family of five going in for dinner and a party of two going the same way. Caught up to celebrants and ribbed him a bit about being a Collingwood supporter!
Headed back to Huonville from here.
A great cache - thanks for taking me here for the first time - Cheers;
OldSaint.

Found with whitewebbs on our "Down South" caching holiday, the falls were magnificent today and well worth the walk in. It was very slippery on the track but we made it without incident. Geohubbies were sent to retrieve the cache, after several sites were searched Mr T came up with the cache. As we were heading back up 4 muggles passed us heading down. TFTC
Falls were spectacular. Long walk in with Tassie Trekkers and an even longer walk out(thought Mrs W)on a slippery and muddy track . Mr. T and Mr W. did the scrambling to retrieve the cache. TNLN. TFTC.
The whole peleton set off for a pleasant walk on a perfect day.
When we arrived, there was a family of about 8 taking photos and eating lunch. Once they had finished, I kid you not, they all lit up cigarettes - even the teenagers!
Meanwhile, I was climbing up the wrong side of the falls to a nice little shelf (with no cache).
After I came back down, I spotted the obvious tree with the carvings - unless I have serious directional problems, it's north of the rock, not south west!
From there, I could see where I was heading, and up I went. It's a little challenging, but if you use the trees to pull yourself up it's ok.
The cache (log, pen and swaps in ziplock bag, no container) was tucked away safely, so I signed it and maneuvered my way back down.
Thanks for the walk!

Nice walk into falls. Only a little muddy at times. The falls were wonderful, especially when the sun came out and shone on half the rocks. There was a couple of tracks behind the named tree so went up the left one and made my way back around climbing higher and found the cache. Last bit of climb to the required tree was a bit hazardous but made it without incident and found the log nice and dry in the rock. Amazing view from up there as well. The uphill walk back out wasn't too bad either. TFTC
Felt like Indianna Jones on our visit to the falls as on the walk in we were caught in a hail storm. Ringing wet we continued on and the effort was worth it. The falls are stunning.
Finding the cache was another matter. Followed the clues and found the first tree and spied a good candidate for the second with accompanying crack, however Geohusband was not at all happy about me climbing up the slippery slopes (not a young as I used to be). Got up anyway however could not find it. GH even clambered up to help look.
In the hunt we encountered 3 problems, there is no not one clear track behind the AW tree any more. Secondly, it is a long time since this cache was found and there is quite a lot of mulch in the nooks and crannies on the cliff face. I did hunt around it in, however in a stunning nature reserve we should not be destroying the nature to make a find. Finally clambering on that cliff face is not safe, it would not be a comfortable landing if you slipped.

Where do I start
What a little adventure this cache turned out to be.
The walk in was farily easy, until Geo Kid E tripped and hurt his knee - about 5 minutes walk from the falls. Struggled to the hut with him and after a little rest he felt better to continue on. Got to the falls and they did not let us down. Photo Attached
Anyway finding the correct rock and tree where easy, but the tree with the rock behind was more difficult. Finaly determined it was the one up where the geo kids didn't want to go, so up the slippery slope I went. Got to the cache and found, logged.
Then started the uphill walk back to the car

The Geokids were keen to climb, so this one was fun for them (for me too)! Forgot swaps, so will leave that till next time. TFTC
A good walk and a scramble to find the cache in a lovely spot. Fealt like we had earnt our bubbles at the end of the day. TFTC
I'm not sure about a comfortable landing but catgirl and I certainly spent a lot of time on our cat-butts! I was hoping catgirl would retrieve the cache but the large number of cobwebs put her off...the whining began and I realised I had to do it myself. [:(!] It was incredibly slippery and frightening for myself who doesn't like heights at the best of times! However I must say after we made it safely down again I think this is the most enjoyable one I've done. Took the Coin as my reward. [:X]
Loved this cache. Thanks so much. Walk was scenic, quick and the falls are lovely - I've wanted to do this one for years and it didn't disappoint. As I went up towards the cache, Maddie wandered around the cliff side - much more nonchalantly than me, and very sure-footedly. She just sat and admired the location (or so it seemed) while I signed the log. Great hide too. Then of course a dip (for her) to cool off. Not that it was hot! Thanks Swampy and Team Tweeti, it's a real good 'un!
Rated: for Overall Experience
I headed off up the hill to GZ just before lunchtime
At GZ I wondered if I could claim the find
But it seemed that I needed to take a cosy tumble down to the falls to log this one [:o]
The walk down was very comfortable indeed. Seems the elderly have been well catered for on this walk with the gentle gradients and wide path
There's even a pub about two thirds of the way to the bottom
At the end of the trail was a beautiful scene. Lots of water, moss, trees and cliffs
I followed the instructions and looked where the cache should be [:o]
Getting there was great fun. Like being on the monkey bars in the playground without the disaproving frowns of onlooking parents [^]
Turns out the cache was a nice easy find and I dropped in Fehrgo's Australia 2007 geocoin.
All that was left was the genteel climb back up to the geomobile park
TFTC.

This was our 6th cache for the afternoon, we were quite tired after the 2.1 Klm walk in. But was it worth it, great spot and found the cache. TFTC.
Great walk down through the shrub, beautaful water falls, Pitty about the steep climb back out
Left cachemobile in cool conditions, but by time cache was reached fluid was flowing from above the eyes, was tempted to go for swim but once toe hit water changed my mind.
A body of my age really doesn't need caches like this one, but the challange was there.

Lost track of the times I have walked to these falls in the hope of finding this cache but luckily tonight it was where it was meant to be
Thanks Swampy for replacing this cache on more than one occasion and thanks Team Tweeti for the original hide.

Thanks Swampy for the second maintenance trip in such a short period of time. After a second muggling, it has been replaced in it's original position, and camouflaged a little better. The logbook is currently blank, maybe another trip to put in a copy of previous visitors logs.
Cache replaced nearby due to geohighway to old GZ. 400ml Sistema not cammo'd
Contents 3x mini pens, ear plugs, 2 party poppers, kondo doll, bounce ball and geo coin.
Orac will update listing and enable listing soon.

Walked in to check after the DNF.
It's gone for the moment. I will discuss replacement with Team Tweeti - it may end up somewhere new but close....

Thanks for that Swampy. It's always a shame when a cache goes missing, but at least I know that it wasn't *only* my cache-blindness working against me.
Had a very enjoyable trip here with freddymjt and a couple of other extended family members, but no cache unfortunately. We had no joy at the tree/crack that seemed to best fit the description, but given the other logs I would expect that it was simply that I couldn't see the crack for the trees...
My second try, should have found it first time. Plenty of rain so the falls were working well. A pleasant walk. Thanks TeamSwampy & Team Tweeti TNLN
Sunday afternoon, needed a walk so this seemed like a good cache to do. I'm sure I was in the right place but couldn't find it. I looked ,also, in all the likely places. Thanks TeamSwampy at least it got me out.
Bugger! Identified 2 likely tree/crack spots halfway up the hill. One was big and dark and surrounded by spiderwebs, so I got a big stick and banged around in there. Didn't hear wood hit plastic so I tried the other one, but no luck. Searched a little more, leant on a rotten tree and almost caused an avalanche so thought it was time to leave.
All that said, I'm glad I went when I did - the falls were absolutely pumping from all the rain last week, I almost couldn't cross! Also saw the biggest whip snake ever on the track in.

Headed off there this evening with the dogs. Nice walk in to a place I haven't been to for years. Track is much better than I remember. Very small amount of water, fairly easy find. Cache was being guarded by large black spider, I moved him to another crack, Nice not having to use gpsr. SL TNLN Thanks TT & TS FTC
A southerner placing a letter box cache eh!Quite nice leaving the GPSr back in the car.Short search of two other locations before finding.Exc. hide..100% muggle proof.Lovely spot with small amount of water down falls.TNLNSL TFTC Cheers T/Swampy & T/Tweetie.
Sorry for late log in. Found by Team Beama while on holidays (16/3/06), with Weroamin.
There wasn't alot of water coming over the falls today, but it's still an impressive spot. Our legs got a good workout on the way back too. We left our swaps at the bottom while completing the final challenge, so TNLN. Thanks for bringing us back here.
thank you swampy and tweeti ...loved walk apart from the last section...tn.ln.sl
this cache has been the best and hardest we have had so far the waterfall was flowing like diamonds walk was easy hide we found very tricky thoughly enjoyed took tb shark will swim to another site left cockatoo sl
Took el golco to do this one for FTF. A great walk and I loved the final climb! TNLNSL.
Taken to this one by Caxixi and will also use it for F-F. Watched a magnificent Wedge Tail soar over the valley as we drove up. el golco was not sure about all that downhill but falls were well worth the effort of the uphill return.
Took mini padlock, left eraser and TB Bruce the Shark.
Thanks TeamSwampy and Team Tweeti, a great spot-have not been here before.

Geez its about time we found this one, seeing as though it was on our doorstep! Love this walk, so another excuse to do it wasnt an imposition!
Took tweeti left dinosaur and Pig skin (from trotters).
Thanks for this one, its great!

Excellent cryptic name for this site. Directions were great and definately a good idea to leave the GPS in the car. Well done Team Swampy & Team Tweeti.
well this was wicked fun, in a sadistic kinda way . had an absolute ball, nice falls with a lot more water than the last time we was here (B.C).
had to call on junior energizer & his in-built monkeyness for the last few metres as I chickened out when I seen the mudslide from hell, & didn't think the landing would be all that comfortable .
TNLN, thanks orac & swampy.
(maybe this one should be a rating 5 for difficulty after a decent rain )

Arrived late in the day and were somewhat concerned at the number of cars we saw - hoped that they would all be walking out, but when we arrived at the destination there were a number of muggles enjoying themselves (or were they other cachers hoping that we would disappear?? Is there one of those secret masonic handshakes that we just don't know about???????????????) Luckily they left just before we were going to - no torch and didn't want to walk out in the dark!
Enjoyed this cache very much. Took train (and some of the local mud), left blue and yellow frog.

Junior Sainter was playing soccer in Kingston on a Saturday morning so we took this as an excuse to do some caching for the afternoon. After a quick lunch we headed off to this cache.
What a great location and not too far to walk from the cars. Cousin Edward was the sucessful hunter and he got to choose from the treasures.
He took the carabiner
Left mini chinese cat pendants (best description I could give them)
Thanks Teams Swampy and Tweeti

We had a blast doing this cache! This has long been on Snuva's list of great walks she's been meaning to take, so this lovely little cache finally got us there!
I've seen more and more strategies being used by Tasmanian cachers to deal with the 'all the great bush setting have NO reception' problem, and this was a great strategy in my humble opinion. Once you get to GZ (and we parked EXACTLY at GZ ) it's obvious where you're off to. And placing the cache at the end of the walk and giving instructions ensures cachers actually do the walk instead of being tempted to just log and run. The hunt at the cache location was TOO easy, but not overly difficult either. Tweeti and Swampy seem to make a great hiding team! TNLNSL.
Note for canine visitors: You are welcome at this track and there are no posted rules regarding your visit, however Snuva advises you 'accessorise' and wear your lead so you aren't tempted to go off the trail and talk to the native. They may not be friendly!

Just a quick note.
This area can get very slippery under foot so be careful. Special equipment is required if attempting this during or after heavy rain.
Advise you wear sturdy gumboots, take suitable rocket propelled tyrolene and scuba gear to cross the raging river in flood, otherwise wait until dry weather.
