Lovely old building that has survived the hurley burley of development Very Happy 
 
I have been to this building many times and never even noticed the monument, now at my next cocktail party I will be able to I really impress friends and influence people with my new found absolutely riveting knowledge.

Bit chilly here today managed to find cache ok took nothing left silver frog charm. Put new pen and replaced zip bag. Mr. Green 
 
Cool Found after a bit of a scramble.Left silver frog charm thought that it was time to move Prince charming along. 
 
How green you ask? I think this lot has either been eating to many flower beds or I've been popping too many pills. Easy find Took nothing left frog. 
 
Laughing Lovely aea to look for caches in found after a thinking where it might be considering all the high tide/flood debri around area. Took blow fly on steroids and left safari van. Thanks for perpetuating this site Graig Rat. 
 
What a lonely place to leave poor Albert E. took him and replaced with soldier to guard against invaders. Laughing 
 
Razz Such a lovely area to walk through, quick find took grey dinasour and left Billy goat. 
 
uo Surprised Easy find took dinasour leftGoat 
 
No booty left here just a very clever cache. Wink

Well a plumber might be something to do with the area but we ROCKED into this one without SPLITTING anything seems to be about 5 metres away from GZ though so maybe the cache has travelled a bit west from original location. Let militia come out to offer his services to Gadaffi but bolted went of in search of Super Trooper. Left Marg Simpson to entertain the rest of cache. Lovely camping area. 
 
Lovely spot and a easy find, only a couple of fishermen and 2 ginger Ridge backs nearby, track was a bit rough after recent rains. Container is disintergrating and is split though log was dry (plastic take away food box) 
 
Well the story about the ants is right the area is well guarded by some very big and mean Bull ants which required a very quick removal and recovery style. Took Snow White and being without any Pez left waterproofed container of M&M Skittles. 
 
located it on a quite saturday afternoon though the rock clue left us wondering until we discovered that one of the horizontal plants had grown a bit since first being set up, rock is well and truly covered now. Container has been badly damaged and leaks so replaced all zip bags. Also moved slug onto greener pastures. Took Cassowary and left one of the Simpson children behind. 
 
23-Feb-11
Glorious day for a forest stroll, amazing amount of work must have gone into this area, probably had a bit of Roman blood in the labour force. Just as we were about to leave Black a white billie goat the gray mouse jumped at the opportunity to escape and made of towards our vehicle. 
 
Found easily, log is damp but managed to sign with new pen 
 
21-Feb-11
Well hidden, first time that we have had to deal with this type of cache. We live and learn from experience. Good one! It was once said that if you gave a monkey a typwriter and enough time, that it would eventually be able to write War and Peace. Let's see what a survivor of a nuclear holocaust can do with a scrap of paper and a 40mm lead pencil in a dark confined space between today and the next finder. 
 
Found after a bit of searching. The blue paint made it easy.
Lovely way to disguise and deal with water run off. 
 
18-Feb-11
Comments are right about traffic, the road kill in the area is a testament to that, thought that I would come out of this one wearing a crown of thorns.Left convict arrow keychain, took Bilby or something like that. 
 
Very interesting approach to hiding something I guess that one could call it a prosthetic limb. 
 
Not much luck with this one, no cows in sight but barb wire fence looks as though it's just been replaced after the flooding in the area. 
 
Amazed that this one has survived as the area had just been slashed with bits of concrete thrown all over the place. Replaced zip bag with new one as the existing one was getting knocked about. Took billy goat and left grandpa Simson ( I guess one was as grumpy as the other. 
 
Not for the feint of heart is right. cache in right place but log is saturated and the zip bag won't seal. Penguin was happy with the water, left ear plugs to drown out the noise from the trucks crashing past overhead. 
 
Amazed that this one has survived the recent tractor slashing as the machine had smashed concrete all over the place. Took one old goat that was pretty grumpy and left grandpa Simpson fair swap I reckon pity the other items in the cache , no peace for them. 
 
15-Feb-11
Found on the 14th in company of Runciple lovely spot on a sunny day 
 
Found on 13-2-11 but have been out of internet range for a couple of days.
With a bit of scouting around, figured that the hiding place would not be on a grave so looked in the next best place. Camo job is right, almost afraid to move it in case eggs fell out.

Left metal convict arrow keyring and picked up swaggie 'Supertrooper' 
 
Found in company of Runciple, easy to find I had wodered how others had found it by torchlight but can understand it now. Thanks ROBTAS 
 
11-Feb-11
Located easily took dragon tattoo to put on Duck's legs and left dingo fridge magnet. Cache was quite exposed so covered it up with some rocks. Thanks March Brown 
 
Arrived late afternoon midweek so had plenty of time to find cache was easy to find as it was very visible, so covered it up a bit. took green marble and left wombat fridge magnet. Thanks Sonic the superbird. 
 
08-Feb-11
DNF lots of muggles around so searching was very erratic, Duck didn't like walking on prickly twigs, prefered to stay by waters edge.

A lovely spot and Budgietas was right about the sand I have never seen anything like it. Thanks anyway Gorbak 
 
We once more had a top day going to a magnificent site, easily found with no risk from muggles despite there being 50 or more on the beach.
The cache had water in it and the pen was missing though the log was dry have and I had my own pen which I would have left in container if it had fitted. Thanks Gorback for once again leading a couple of Mainlanders to a delightful spot. Very Happy Vasco and his Duck

Located just prior to sunset as a dread laden storm hovered to the west. The internet is a wonderous thing indeed but unfortunately it can diseminate a lot of innuendo and falsehoods. Unfortunately the previous story about the logger happens to be a typical example for the truth is stranger than fiction. Here the TRUE STORY of the lost soul beneath the headstone. This fellow had the nickname of 66 which came about from being born with a genetic abnormality called Polydactylism (An descendant of 66 is the actress that starred with Danial Craig in a James Bond movie except that she had hers surgically removed) Now as 66 grew up he became the key player with the Ross cricket team, his fame was widespread and he was held in awe by his opponents, never was there a ball that escaped his grasp. On the eve of the annual Richmnond-Ross cricket match for which the winning team would recieve a barrel of overproof rum, he was attached by cowardly persons unknown and parts of his body were severed being left unconcious by the side of the bridge where he bleed to death. Now this is the true story as told to us by the woman who lives in Daniel Herberts House called "forget me not' which is just around the corner from the Bakery. Apparently his precious body parts are now relics kept in a glass case in the entry alcove of one of the churches in town, but as it is late at night now we were unable to see them. Is truth not stranger than fiction!

Tried our best but to no avail. Is it still there? been some time since anyone has found or even looked for it 
 
03-Feb-11
Located GZ1 after picking up a couple of others in same area. There are many words that might describe the type mind that would think up this one, among them are clever, devious, converluted, diabolical, tormenting to name a few of them. Being new to this stuff neither Vasco nor Duck had any idea what Buffalo tube was or looked like but with stealth, persistance and pig headedness we eventually found it and moved on the the real cache. Took a ladybird thing that will get relocated to the mainland and left some Cassandra charms. Nice job Greenish thanks Very Happy 
 
02-Feb-11
Checked GZ out early on a mid week morning without any success, not suprised that there was no sign of it as the trees, posts and fence were being slashed by council workers. Perhaps the choice for placement was a bit too busy conspicous particularly with all the dogs being walked in close proximity good luck to any one else. Vasco and duck. Neutral 
 
Located at 1400hrs Were sure that there is something meaningful in those numbers! but it escapes us at the moment as we have just got back to the carpark after doing the round trip to Truganinni's memorial and the signal tower and back before dark. Unfortunately the coffee shop was shut (which was very demoralizing as it was the bribe to get Duck to go to the top.)Ducks feet are going to deserve a massage after that one.
Well what a great Cache and intro to go with it. Left a tin whistle to signal for help in case someone got lost and took a spotted Quoll to release on the mainland when we get back, hopefully it will find a mate and pay them back for releasing Lyrebirds in Tas.
Cannot understand why it has not been a busier Cache as it's ripper spot. Very HappySad
Thanks Cheesy pigs for a great day 
 
01-Feb-11
Found on a wet half tide day, lost count of the number of trees that seem to have fallen of the cliff face on the way there, used a silver coin to reflect light into the eyes of the big black beast that tried to attack me, quickly grabbed a glow in the dark sibling, dropped coin in and forced the mob back into container.

Great location interesting access. Thank you DDTs Vasco without duck 
 
30-Jan-11
Lovely spot to camp at, had to negotiate several left over decomposing land mines left by campers that were to lazy to dig a hole.
Took torch, left an Aboriginal with the Southern Cross over his left shoulder Vasco and his Duck 
 
Neat little stash point, had feast of blackberries as a bonus.
We are now unfortunately unable to finish the Tasmanian TARGA event today as we left our 1970 canary yellow Ford Mustang behind in exchange for a pen. Vasco and his Duck Arrow 
 
Unable to locate,there has been a large part of the tree that has broken off and been cleaned up, spent quite some time in, up, and around branches but gave up eventually.

Rolling Eyes Our first go at this stuff. We really enjoyed the area that it was left in and after a couple of false starts the ferret came out in us we really got into it. A great feeling when we spotted it but had to access it from a different direction. Left everything intact. Thank you jolly John Jacob for such an interesting Cache. Vasco and Duck
