Spend some time looking but came up empty. Geocadets had a blast on the beach.
 
20-Feb-14
Now we didn't find this one. Like others before us. Next time will bring along a low loader and sifter and if the muggles have not got it then we will find it. Another cache was also lost to our critical observation.

While driving down to Smithton we pulled over for a smoke break and what do you know we found that we were right next to a cache so after a short search we soon had it in hand log signed and replaced as we watched the muggles on the 'busy' beach below us.

Some great views of the beach from here i must say.

Thanks for the cache.

Made a quick find, log was full in pieces and a bit damp. So we took cache to geo mobile and replaced the log with a new one.

We have the old one with us and hope to be able to get it to cache owner soon. TFTC

20-Jul-13
Had a quick look here some months ago and I am sure I checked this spot....there it was today almost in plain view. Had to wait for a procession of joggers, cyclists, walkers and beach people to thin out before I could retrieve, sign and replace.
 
20-Jul-13
Down from Brisbane for a few days for a funeral,had time for some caching.With (un)helpful! Assistance from 2 muggles brothers & a muggles cousin we went to look for this cache near the beach we swam at as kids nearly 60 years ago.Hadn't downloaded to my GPS so had to rely on my smart phone& with much smart advice from my companions the cache was soon in hand.TNLN TFTC.All OK in the cache.
 
18-Jul-13
A quick find just on sunset. Noone about at this time of the day in midwinter! TFTC
 
30-Jun-13
My 8 year olds very first find! He is ecstatic! lol
 
22-Jun-13
A quick feed of Fish and Chips and toilet break was needed so we found a nearby cache. In the summer we can only imagine how packed this area would be.

Thanks robtas.
 
10-Jun-13

Hi robtas
The Oriental really came out in me on this cache.
Didn't look north, south or west; just EAST!!

Great views from here.

We were camped for the night very nearby. Weather was warm & sunny enough for a swim at the lovely little beach and being mid week there were very few people around. Thought Bridport was a very pleasant stop over on our all too brief trip around parts of Tassy. Located the cache in the morning before heading off on our way. Delightful spot.

#162 - 20:30; Found after a short search on sunset, to avoid the crowds. TFTC Smile
 
23-Jan-13
Didn't leave a message, no pencil in there and we forgot to bring one. Few people on the beach sun baking but they were oblivious to our hunt. TFTC!
 
19-Jan-13
Brother in law found it after ages of looking. Tftc
 
19-Jan-13
It took five adults and six kids but we found it.
 
04-Jan-13
Even though the muggles were crammed into every available camping spot, we were able to sit at gz, survey the scene and extract the cache without anyone being any the wiser.
 
30-Dec-12
Yep, we found it too, within a metre of my iPad GC App.
There was another hole close by, nothing in it, so I put a
used drink can inscribed with "GC CLOSE Smile"

Pleas, if you find the can, that ain't the cache!

#405 Set up camp site nearby, time for a ride northwards, but let's have lunch first. nice spot in the shade overlooking the beach. so, where is the next cache M enquiried? "Checking, guess what? - only 8 metres away!" quick hunt around and there it was out in the open!! - probably a muggle kiddie? The log papers are too damp to write on. We re-inserted into the very nearby probable hide. Onwards north along the trail on the trusty steeds.

Yea founded it Geskus clan with the cadets

Have to have long arms for this one
 
20-Oct-12
Found today whilst touring round the area. Third cache in Tasmania
 
03-Oct-12
Still a problem. Impossible to get to cache through fallen tree.
 
27-Jul-12
another one not found Sad
 
19-Jul-12
We were spot on with the coordinates but a very large tree has fallen where the GZ is and has coveed the entire hide. Imposible to retrieve the cache without a chainsaw or 10 people to lift the tree.
 
22-Jun-12
This one defeated us today. We spent quite a while looking for it as there weren't too many muggles around but the GPS was all over the place and only accurate to within about 5 metres. Having now read back over long ago logs it seems that maybe it is a tricky little hide and we maybe didn't look hard enough. However there is a very large, recently fallen branch close to GZ ( recent enough that the leaves are still green) so it may be possible that GZ has been crushed. More likely that we just missed it though so we will keep a watch on this one to see. TFTC [^]

Spied some women going swimming. Too cold for me. Has to be over 35degs. for me to get in. T.F.T.C.

In town for the long weekend for fishing and boating fun. Had a great time out on the water and thought this was the place to drop off the TB "Fish with no guts!" Been carrying around till we got a nice fishing spot. Found cache easily. Sad stay at the van park. Some 20 sites had stuff stolen, so if you are staying make sure you lock up as well as you can. sad end to a great weekend and fantastic weather.
 
18-Oct-11
Found by Sunshine Toledo at 11:00am with a couple of non-geocaching friends while staying in the area playing golf at Barnbougle and The Lost Farm. This cache was found quickly as the co-ords are spot on. What a great little beach nearby; some kids were playing in the sand but I can't say that the water was very warm. TFTC
 
13-Oct-11
It was easy to bring the rig in close to this one, as there were no campers around, just a few workmen. We were about to abandon our search, when Caz spotted it, and we soon had it logged an rehidden. TNLN. Thanks for another great beach in Tassie robtas!

micheena - funny how you just know there must be one close by. Camping in the park overnight, had us sitting on a seat admiring the views earlier on this day. They laughted when I suggested that a cache could be near by. Thought I had gone caching loony. Who's laughing now.
