Got this one at 1106hrs as 1 of 3 today, 249 overall. WP1 was not too helpful, but knowing where Fort Pierson was' was a boon. WP2 was easy to find and found the cache from there. Great views, cache is in good order. This cache is too good to loose and would suggest that WP1 be deleted and make WP2 a new WP1 and go from there. Can still be a multi. Cheers and TFTC OldSaint.
Enjoyed this one. Dragged my muggle friend around with me who dutifully climbed all over trying to find it. [:o)] Not bad for 46 years young (especially one who's scared of heights)!! Perhaps he was trying to impress me.
Thanks CP's.
Nice spot, last here a long, long time ago.
Surprised at cache location but found OK by more flexible younger TBT members.
Thanks, TNLN

Logging this rather late as I have not been able to get this site to work for a while! I think it is my Telstra connection. Its hopeless. Anyhow. A well worthwhile fun cache to a cool historic feature that I did not know about. Thanks *again* Cheesey Pigs!
Started this one the other day but only finished it today with the GeoFamily. What a nice view. GeoWife found this one.
Found WP1 whilst doing a nearby cache, a quick drive, find the required data, entered co-cords and found the cache. Thanks Cheesy Pigs, a well executed multi.
Love the clues to find one waypont after the other! Little tricky but not too hard to find.

It's amazing how long people can eat for when they're right on top of GZ LOL.
Ended up climbing over the final point and sneakily picking this one up, writing in the log at a distance and dropping it back again without looking too suspicious...

Another lovely spot. Muggles just left, good luck for us so we had time to find the cache.
Thanks for the cache.

nice multi!
Loki managed to park in front of some very grumpy muggles at the cache site, found it without too much trouble.

Had to do this multi over a couple of days as WP3 was difficult with muggles sitting on a seat nearby. Drove right to it tonight and found it fairly quickly. Watched the TV for a while and also watched one of the Incat ferries go past a few times. Thanks Cheesy pigs
By the time we got to the end of this (after taking a while with the numbers!!!) it was dark, so that's what I'm blaming for not finding it. (Didn't have a torch either). So look forward to coming back in daylight sometime.
this was a fun multi-cache - great view! a few muggles around but plenty of things to look at to be inconspicuous. TFTC
[Second of three for the morning. We spent far too long wandering around GZ before I happened to mention to the Reluctantly Geocaching Spouse (RGSp) that...] some caches are micros and that they can even be magnetic. [RGsp turned her head sideways and found it immediately!]
Twenty-third of thirty-one finds in company with Snuva's female slave. We grabbed the info from WP1 on the way back from logging "Sunday Drive #3". As we approached WP2, I noticed, and made comment on, what turned out to be GZ. I gathered the final information, constructed the final coordinates, and headed to GZ. I actually looked right at it without seeing it (must've been a 'boy look'). SFS had found it before, and wondered how I could have missed it. While I was looking elsewhere, she checked it out, and confirmed that it was still there. I had exhausted all hiding places, so I started again. This time I found it at 1715. I made no exchange. Thanks to Cheesy pigs for the cache. Cheers, dak.
Found with Rebulus. Interesting cache as we were trying to get to a few it was good to be going in the right direction. Thanks cheesy pigs
Intesting find well the lead up to it was, learnt a bit. Found with GSPBLU Thanks for the cache
Have you noticed that forts are always located on absolutely the best real estate that money can't buy? What a fabulous place to shoot passing enemy ships from!
Signed log. Thanks Cheesy Pigs.

Got all the Waypoint data only to be out-sat by a family of birdwatchers who wouldn't go away......
Great cache location, even without me actually getting the container in my hand.... I'll be back...!

Glad I decided to drive to this one instead of riding cause the multi would have sent me back in the direction I came. Both WP1 to GZ are nice areas - I'd love to go back one day and do the Tinderbox snorkelling trail - never heard of that till today. Great views to Bruny, 'Keeper of the Canal' was sooo close, I'll have to head over to the littler island soon. Thanks CP's - 2 out of 2 for quality caches.
Found in company with Caxixi while on an "air-the-granny" drive. Interesting history and great views. Fortunately, the camper van muggles who were parked 3m away were busy preparing evening meal.
LOL at the post with the "No Camping" sign which had been removed from its hole in the ground and placed neatly inside the bunker
SL Thanks Cheesy Pigs

Another great multi full of history.Excellent views from Fort as well.TFTC Cheers Cheesy pigs.
Collected the required info from WP1 - and were very interested to read how the area came to be named!! Then a little backtracking to get more info, when suddenly two muggles appear!! Fortunately by the time we completed our calculations they were leaving the area, and we were able to log the cache at our leisure!
Fourth find of our Sunday drive for cache! We really enjoyed the cache stopping us to take in some of the history of the area (some of which we'd already passed without even realising it!). And it gave the Schnauzer something to do when she wasn't allowed to visit the area of another cache (harrumpf!)
Yay! FTF to me! Sog N Paulus must be sleeping.
Found after short hunt, been meaning to place a cache here but too much procrastination has seen the Cheesy Ones do it.
TNLNSL, thanks Piggies.
