Hartz Lake


Look In Here
The hint got us there quickly, thanks to the accurate interpretation of it by Sue.    We replaced the log.
Boys Toys and Girls Day Out
Found using clues as GPS was only a general area help.
Cache of Cash
Nice little hiding place.  A favourite because of that.
Ladies Tarn
How appropriate that the cache was found by such a nice lady today.
SWVIEW
With so many possible hiding spots and no clue given, we were not prepared to spend much time
Platypus Playground Geeveston
Last time here the cache had been washed away, but with it replaced and we were passing it warranted a second visit.
Sue said "let me have a look" followed by "you're as blind as a bat"

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 ...
