Waverley Circuit

Friday , 23 January 2015

It was only a couple on months ago that we walked the lower part of this circuit and since then this series of caches has gone in.  We started at Lanena Street entrance got a couple out that way then followed the numbers in order from there on.

10 Out In The Open, Waverley Walk

the cache lived up to its name

11 Within The Trees, Waverley Walk

We don’t know if it was because we had sunglasses on, but both looked at the site, where it was eventually found by Sue, twice each.  As a consequence it took us a while to find.

0 Entrance, Waverley Walk

It was quick to locate which was just as well with the resident over the fence close.

1 Dead Tree, Waverley Walk

Nifty hide and liked the ladybird

2 Old Log, Waverley Walk

Another nice ladybird.

3 You CAN Find this, Waverley Walk

Sue guessed what to look for here.

4 Fallen Stump, Waverley Walk

Another nice ladybird and we liked the outside container.

5 Water Tank, Waverley Walk

Spent too much time looking and now have to put up with being the only people not finding it (given that Reborn went back and did make the find).

6 Off The Track, Waverley walk

Interesting holding container.

7 Rocky Hollow, Waverley Walk

Hint made looking in the right direction easier.

8 Slab, Waverley Walk

Quite tricky but Peter had seen something similar before which encouraged investigation.

9 Base Of Tree, Waverley Walk

Final one for the day, but we did take the wrong track on the assumption it would go the closest.  But it didn’t and we had to go cross-country for the ladybird.

Frogs and Water

We knew that " Swimming Hole " was a cache not far from home and finally decided to seek it. Earlier in the week we had picked up " Spot the Frog ", a moveable cache found under the Geocache Australia website and needed to deposit the little fellow somewhere. As frogs like water and this one had spent a few months on a dry hillside it seemed appropriate to lodge near a creek, so finding "Swimming Hole" was combined with the task. We could work out the starting spot even without a GPS and soon had the next stage entered in the GPS. Much to Peter's surprise it led us back down rather than up the creek and we ended beside a fence. A bit of searching and head scratching saw us give up for now and head off to lodge our little froggy. On return home Sue scanned through past logs and discovered several people also ended up where we did and then found this was several metres out. This has encouraged us to head back to the GZ soon and to ignore the GPS for on...

Tasman Duo

9 and 10 May 2012 It was hoped to be Tasman Trio as the story below will reveal . Hauy We camped overnight at Fortescue Bay and planned to take the opportunity to collect the aHauy there! cache at the end of the Cape Hauy walk, and pick up a couple more whilst on a walk to Shipstern Bluff the following day. The new track to Cape Hauy was very impressive, with a huge number of rock steps and the rest hardened to a high standard. It is a very expensive construction but, as it is a single file track, maybe money could have been saved by making it narrower. Mind you any saving would be most unlikely to get spent on another track elsewhere. We have been on this walk quite a number of times over the years and felt that although it was a good surface it was actually not any easier because of all the steps to be climbed. The scenery is so impressive that we almost forgot about looking for the cache. A search about by Sue, Peter and Mike the Muggler did not locate it and we t...

Freycinet Bushwalk

Image
3 – 5 October 2012 As we were going on a bushwalk to Freycinet Peninsula the potential geocache finds in the area were checked and several were close to our route. We went for three days, camping at Cooks Beach for both nights and heading down to a rocky peak beyond Passage Beach. Graham (Graham51) was with us although he took the longer return option over Mount Graham where he also managed to locate a cache on his journey. On the way back in the car we picked up a couple in the region. Top of the Pass Our first for the day, located by Graham, and although a few muggles were about none took much notice of us,   Half empty or half full ? We dropped our packs and with two people holding GPS’s and three heading to GZ it was surprising how little attention the muggles paid to our activity. One looked up for a while but soon turned back to look at the scenery elsewhere.   Blue Champagne Our objective for the days bushwalk was the southern peak on the Freycinet Peninsula above ...
