It is time to say goodbye. Thanks to all geocaches. Maybe some else, will be more lucky, and avoid constant losings hidden cache. Good luck!
We did not find this one today and as a second DNF. We recommend that cache maintenance is required to confirm cache is still in location and CO messaged to this effect. Inspectorrexteam.
Had a good look was a dead wallaby nearby which didn’t make for a pleasant experience! Will come back another day

The cache is gone AGAIN. It’s happened lately, so often. I don’t know what to do next. I’m very disappointed that someone is against our game. It must be someone who knows geocaching, and for some reason is acting like that. Please be nice, and be friendly to our international game! This cache is very important for NN, because invading tourists to this lovely town. In the few days, I will hide a new cache and please don’t take it!
Had what i thought was a good look in the right place.

Made the nice drive up here to find this cache was expecting someone to be here but good to have the view to myself. Cache was found easily enough thanks to the hint.
Today I headed to Hobart to attended the celebration event in the evening and decided to make a day of it and find some caches along the way, around new Norfolk, the CBD and lenah valley . A great day out with around 60 finds.
Thanks for the cache

Really nice view and we would definitely never have come here otherwise. Thanks polfil
I was thrilled when S_38 suggested to go to the tip look out... he’s such a romantic soul... hahaha.
Gotta say, I would never have gone up here if it wasn’t geocaching... a really surprisingly awesome spot!

So fun a spider ran across my hand and I screamed but we did it and we left a little surprise
It was a pretty miserable day so what brtter to do than go for a drive. We decided to go to New norfolk and find some lunch. After lunch before we made our way home I said lets go and grab a cache. This one seemed easy as I didn't want to spend to long in the rain.
On the way to GZ mum once again used her usual comment while we're geocaching. Where the hell are you taking me now? When we arrived at the GZ a quick find was made.
Thanks plofil for keeping up with this cache even when it seems to go walkies quite a bit. Thanks

Cache needs maintenance. Logbook is very wet and ASAP We are going to replace it ,for a new one.
Found it.... but it was opened and thrown down the hillside. We tried our best to fix it and re-hide it
This is probably a great lookout but the fog was so thick we could only see 50 metres. That was really cool to be in. Nice new log book and cache in good condition. TFTC
Cache box and logbook are missing. ASAP we will replace everything, but in different spot. looks like that local funny people don’t like our game. In the future , please geocachers , be more careful during searching that no body are able to see.
Suscoe found this cache spread about across the ground in front of the viewing platform.
We gathered everything up and popped it back into the container and rehide it.
Such a nice view.
Thanks to polfil for bringing us here.
Another great day out in Tasmania.

#9923 - 11:02:00 AM; Arrived in Tassie yesterday and spent the night at Coles Bay before heading further south to Hobart for a couple of nights. Headed out early this morning on a GCA caching run up the Derwent Valley. Stopped for a couple of GC caches while I was at it. It took a bit of searching and I managed to find an old log sheet but no container. Added my name to the log and secured the sheet as well as I could in accordance with the hint. TFTC polfil
Have kept an eye on this one, after our DNF, we were back in the area on Sunday unfortunately we could not get to it as the road was closed. Called back on our way home on Friday, a quick find with a muggle in a car near the lookout and a muggle photo family on the lookout. Very carefully signed the log and moved on. Was glad to finally get this off our DNF list
this has been one of those caches that I've been meaning to get round to for ages, well today it was a small detour and I was soon signing the log.
It's an olddie too so thanks for that Polfil
I have missed so many logs over the past few months its unreal, so in an attempt to catch up I'm logging a load of them from GSAK.
Sorry CO's it's going to be the same generic log just about for all of them.
thanks for the cache all the same I will have gone out of my way to find it and thus didnt have the time to log it at the time.

Lovely spot for a cache though sadly there is lots of broken beer bottles and some drug paraphernalia about so keep an eye in the geokids.

We came up here thinking we still had an hour before gates shut. Luckily it was a quick find as some workers came by just after we had replaced the cache to say they were about to lock the gate. What an incredible view! TFTC.
Thoroughly enjoying our week of Tasmanian geocaching adventures. Today finds us exploring the Derwent Valley. This is a lovely find in a cute location with a great view. TFTF.
Nice easy find. Left trackable ‘That’s Just Nuts’.
Unfortunately the other noted trackable ‘The Ribbit’ was not in cache.
TFTC Great views.

Enjoyed the view while finding this cache, #404 for us. Choose appropriate footwear for the search, there’s a bit of broken glass around. Left a TB to continue its journey. SL, TFTC!
Tassie Trip Day 52 - Today was getting ready for the up comming event with the washing of the GeoVehicle required and some other general organisation required it was decided to have a go at a previous DNF and another cache in the area.
This was first to try and find it and we succeeded at the top of what was a great view and an easy find in the end once you look at the correct set of rocks.
Thanks polfil for placing it at such a wonderful location to admire the scenary from.

The cache was found quickly. Then two chooks found me as I was putting it back. Perhaps they get fed often by admirers of the view.
All the times we've been in New Norfolk and had no idea this lookout was here! View over the town is amazing! Cache found by geogirl, all in good order. Thanks for bringing us here!
Great views from up here - found without any problem. All good with the cache. TFTC polfil
Thanks for the cache polfil. Found on a leisurely drive to New Norfolk today. After a relaxing lunch, it was time to find a few more caches and this one was in a top little spot. Cache was found quickly and is in good condition. Cheers!
Such a lovely view from up the top here. Thanks to a good clue, the cache was fairly quickly spotted. TFTC.
Typical Tasmanian cache
First I had to pass by all the rubbish to reach the scenic top [:o]
Even at the top there is rubbish everywhere !! [:o]
But a nice view over the nearby towne from where all the rubbish comes from

Found and replaced lots of rocks that have been thrown around d and also did a rubbish clean up. Boys WERNT too excited about the rubbish part but I figured it needed it.
Lovely area.

This was day 64 0f our trip out of Sydney to visit the southern states of Victoria and was Tasmania and was day 22 of the Tasmanian part.
There were no muggles around to hinder the search for this cache and after reading the hint we had a good idea of where we should be looking. That idea was right and the cache was soon retrieved. After the log had been signed the cache was replaced where we found it. Thank you for bringing us to this area and thank you for placing this cache fur us and others to find.

After setting up the geovan at New Norfolk, we set about exploring, and of course, chasing a few caches. This one included.
We arrived, passed a few muggles on their way down, thankfully, and found the lookout empty - all to ourselves. Arrived at GZ quickly, but not to the cache, which, after a lot of rock movement, found about 10 minutes later at 3.30 pm. Signed and returned, photos taken, and drove off with no interruption.

Yay!!!! Finally after searching this area a few time Mrs. Tsjl has found the cache. Gps tracker straight to the catch and found with in 2 seconds of putting the gps away. Couldn't believe how easy this cache really is. Mr and Mrs tsjl have been keeping an eye on this cache's activity log for a few months after our DNF. to see wether we just couldn't locate it or if it had been misplaced but finally. Mr and Mrs tsjl are very very happy campers tonight.
Travelling around Australia and spending a few months in Tasmania.
Staying a few days near New Norfolk we hit the trails today. Some great historical spots that have been shown to us through Geocaching, which is why we sooo love this game.
