Out on my morning walk before I pack up my little house on wheels and do a bit more of the gypsy thing A quick easy find which Im sure would be a lot harder if this area wasnt mowed on a regular basis.TFTC 2ystassiesKeep smiling

30-Jan-24
In Tassie for the next few months. So many great places to visit and so many different caches to find.Heading from Warrath to Burnie today where I am enjoying driving through this area and grabbing a few along the way. An easy enough find at GZ.Thanks 2y'stassies for placing the cache and doing the maintenance needed, so we can find this cache.

Beautiful view of the lake. Forgot our pen
 
19-Jan-24
Today we moved camps from Sulphur Creek to Cooee Point. Back into Burnie for some caching. Weather much nicer today after a grey couple of days. We had a lovely day walking along the Paper Trail, visiting Guide Falls with picnic lunch and then to Fern Glade for a big walk. Great day out with geocaching as our guide.Its really great that these old robtas caches have been adopted thanks for doing that 2ystassies

TFTC. The area is about to be overtaken with blackberries and log book is wet.
 
20-Jul-22
Following the previous log, we went to check this cache today. The log was slightly wet (because the plastic bag had not been sealed properly by a previous finder) and still signable - it certainly wasn't wet. The blackberries are not a problem and will be sprayed soon anyway. We took the opportunity to "spring clean" the cache - it has a new log in a new plastic bag in a new container. Now as good as new - in fact the new container is more waterproof than the old one.

Tftc! Beautiful spot for a cache, weather is rough, cache was rough condition but log still dry enough to sign. Cache is nestled safely away for the next happy people to find.

Thanks for the cache.
In the northwest of the state for a few days and stopped by here on the way to Guide Falls.
The two GeoGSP's had a rest in the car whilst I made my way to GZ. The grass was not too long, but there were blackberries everywhere so had to pick my path.
Once I was at GZ it was a quick find thanks to the hint. It was a very peaceful spot.
Thanks for adopting and maintaining the cache 2y'stassies.
 
13-Jan-22
Worked out the quickest route to this one whilst having lunch at Guide Falls Farm. Luckily for us a slasher and two mowers had just cleared a beautiful track all the way to GZ. Otherwise it would have appeared to be rather snakey ! Damp container, but log in bag was dry. Thanks 2y's for adopting this one.

A nice stop by the lake. Bringing 2 toddlers definitely impacts the peace and tranquility of it all but a beautiful place none the less

We parked up the top neat the railway line, leaving the tired kids in the car and walked down to GZ. We were extremely grateful the grass had been mowed recently meaning no hidden snakes in the grass. It was absolutely beautiful here. I almost wish we'd brought a bottle of wine and some cheese down and sat on the waters edge for a while.
Thanks robtas

With a couple of weeks annual leave, we have decided to bring ourselves down to Tassie for a break. Why Tassie? We have visited once before and loved it, but didn't have sufficient time to see much, and 2nd, Tassie was the only state/territory that we had not cached in, and 3rd, the weather is cooler than we have been experiencing in Victoria.

Day 2 We stayed at Cradle Mountain overnight, enjoying several short walks and the wildlife that seemed oblivious to humans watching them so closely. Heading in Burney direction today, not knowing were we will end up for the night.

Thanks for placing the cache for us to stop and stretch our legs. I was amazed at how much blackberry is trying to make its way into the mown areas.
SL and put snuggly back in place.

Wow nice dam. Pity we don't have the kayaks. Original log is saturated. Someone has left a new clip seal bag with a couple bits of paper. Blackberries starting to grow around cache it may need to be moved.

Tassie Trip 23 - Today was a suitable day for a drive around and see some sights and check the roads for a trip later on with the big box behind and the suitability of the road. It was decided that a trip to Waratah to check out a possible camp location.

After visiting the wonderful falls nearby we returned and went to the fishing pond wow what a great green area with wonderful trees and grass glad we got this before summer hits propper as this would be great snake country.

Thanks robtas for bring us here and showing us the interesting location.
