Del's Double Deloraine, Tasmania, Australia
By Waterwells on 15-Apr-05. Waypoint GCNFXP

Gone ... and will not be replaced.

Oh dear. GZ sort of moved us around a bit on this one. We were unsure about which object to search, so searched all three, although we were pretty sure that cache should have been in a tree? Reading the story from Caxixi on January 12th, we think the cache may have been muggled.

We're sorry you missed out on this one, weroamin ...
but a huge thankyou for the 'cache status' in your log!

Temporarily archived until we can check it!

This one was found by Caxixi's 'little helper' on a very warm, sunny day. Business was booming at the nearby pool and we all looked longingly over the fence. Three nearby young boys on bikes were somewhat interested in what we were doing especially after 'little helper' screamed out "there it is - I found the treasure!" and after being told to be a little more subtle, marched up to the boys and said "I found treasure and you can't have any!". Decided it might be best to take the cache to the icecream shop and replaced later after the boys had gone! Took helicopter and left a glow-in-the-dark stretch ball. SL.

Wow what a lovely spot Deloraine has become. When I saw it last it was a sleepy backwater! Had to out wait some muggles to safely put the cache back at GZ. Placed a Buz Lightyear ring in, didn't take anything! Nice hide too - all in good order
thanks Waterwells.

On my way back to Hobart, so passed through and stopped for a break. A nice easy one, although the tall trees made the GPS do slightly odd things. Took permanent marker, left teddy bear cookie cutter, SL. Thanks for this one Waterwells, I never got to do Del's Delight, but the double was great!

Nice little walk. No trade. THX.

Found this under my previous incarnation as a Cheesy Pig

14:10 Needed a quick stop in Deloraine for lunch following an interesting muggle experience at Meander. Then on with the caching. Nice hide thanks Waterwells. Took Action man left Candle

Walked this path from the campingground, where I will sleep this night. Nice little town with friendly dugs.

Thanks

The trk to the Devonport bbqy continues to be interrupted!! Had to phone to say that we were still coming - but had been unavoidably detained!!! Plenty of muggle activity in the surrounding area, but luckily they ignmored us. Took reflective strap and left frog caller. Thanks!

Finally got back to log this one after finding it a few months ago.
Was uncovered when we got to it this time so covered it before we left.
Great hide Waterwell's..........

Last find for the day, and it was a ripper. Theres some really funky stuff here, sculptures galore and all of them good.
We missed out on finding the orriginal cache here, but this one was a ripper so we not that sad

Cheers Guys another good cache.

I have been past here many times before but never visited until today. Nice spot to relax or to explore, the cache was not hard to find but I had to watch out for muggles as they were everywhere.

Some very interesting structures nearby. We took a wrong turn on trying to get to the cache but we got there eventually and the actual find was nice and easy.

Well, the lights were on but only the ducks were home.

first find on route to event n.e teamed with hingrock for day out frost still hanging around found no trouble tpencils l mr e

Another of the team efforts with Hingrock and Mr Tack. Lovely morning find on the way to event in the North. Took car and left tigger.

On a sunny winter morning, this was a winter wonderland! We arrived after 10 am on a sunny but frosty morn. The ice melting in nearby trees dripped like a slow heavy rain, and the shadows of trees looked like negatives of what you would usually expect - they were white whilst the surrounding ground was green! Lovely cache, Waterwells, and a top way for us to experience it. After logging the find, Snuva 'excercised' the local ducks.

Our last find for the day!!..A bit dark..No muggles!!

Found this one on the way to L'ton airport for holidays - great way to start!

thanks

On this journey to the NW I really enjoyed visiting the towns now by passed. It was fitting my caching on the journey finished in such a perfect location. The winter sun with the autumn leaves made this location special. The sculptures certainly add to the experience.

Thanks Waterwells

Boy people are getting game with their placements, I felt so open here, hope no one saw me, I'm sure I looked suss

I never got the opportunity to log the original Del's Delight because it was muggled before I got to it. But I got to case the area today because I put the wrong waypoint into the NavWoman and ended up looking for the original Del - which of course isn't there. Didn't take me long to work out the error of my ways and I shuffled off down the road a few hundred metres or so to grab this one instead

Again pretty obvious spot, but making sure I wasn't being watched took awhile, signed the log, checked the area again to make sure I was in the clear and replaced the cache. I tell you, ASIO is missing out, I could be one of their best agents [:p]

Thanks Waterwells, this is a lovely area for a walk by the river - those bloody artistic pieces ruin it somewhat, but it's whatever pushes your buttons I guess, someone thinks they are good!!

found this one on the way to the great lake, this is a great looking park, had no trouble finding it, thanks.

Found while on the way to have my shock-treatments in Launceston.
I've always loved Deloraine. As a child we used to look forward to playing on the train in the other part of the park.
Excellent cache. TNLNSL

Cheers,

This is a far better site than the original and a really good hide in a place worth the visit.
Took something left something forgot what.
Thanks Waterwells

Dropped by this one on my way back from Devenport.
It was dark but had a fair idea where it was.
Didn't want to put my hand in there SO did a trick I have picked up off Horus's logs and fetched a stick... rustle, rustle, thump, thump.......found it !!!!!
Now for the problem.......
There was no pen !!!!!!!!!!!
I couldnt find one in the cachemobile !!!!!!!
So couldn't log it !!!!!!!!

I'll be back !!!!!!!! LOL

The name had me thinking I was in for a multi, but it wasn't.

We bought rolls and stuff at the local woolies and ate them at a table nearby.

Thanks for making me actually stop to feed the kids!

Found on my way back from a meeting in launceston. Great stuff, It's been ages since I actually stopped in Deloraine, particularly this part of the Town.
TNLN, as swaps are rare in the work car.

Thanks for making us stop Waterwells, very enjoyable.

Team Tiges was off on a Tamar caching jaunt today. But first we thought we'd stop, have a break and enjoy the fantastic sculptures, the river, the ducks... oh yeah, and find a cache!

Congrats on the location, and on the cache itself Waterwells. The cache matches its surroundings rather well. I had to look twice before seeing it sitting there! Top job!

Loveley spot for a cache!

Had to wait for the muggles to go away, so we went and had a nice lunch.

On lthe way back we saw that GZ was clear, and soon we had the cache in our hot little hands.
