Description

The Carr Villa Flora Reserve used to be a gravel quarry, according to a sign which used to be at the centre of the reserve.  The reserve is home to three different species of native orchids.  It should be possible to see the Purple Wax-Lip Orchid in the area where this cache is hidden.

There are a number of walking tracks in and around the reserve, which are popular with muggles walking dogs and on bikes, so some stealth may be required.

Container is a black 1L Sistema container and contains a number of swaps.

I found this sneaky little cache after following the whole trail. I don't really know this reserve at all but it is a great place to visit so I'll most likely go back.

This cache was hunted, tagged and released by activehunters. tftc.

Thanks again ClockworkLemon....

TFTC found after school with geodaughter. She was very impressed with contents of cache but alas we had nothing to swap. She is keen to come back as she fancies herself as a yoyo performer. Cold day but several walkers around. Cache in good order

#GA518 - 16:50; In Tassie on a flying visit and decided to grab this cache while I was passing. Parked in the obvious spot and took a short stroll to GZ for a quick find and sign. Probably a bit conspicuous in collar and tie, but nobody about, so it didn't matter as it turned out. TFTC ClockworkLemon Very HappyClan Cerberus

as usual I took the wrong track and had to shortcut through bush to the right track. A couple of goes at satellite pickup in a clearing soon had me headed right to the spot. TFTC

Cache is back, in a funky black container. Have also moved it to a less obvious location.

Checked the cache this afternoon, and the cache has been taken. I'll hopefully be able to replace it in the next day or two.
 
27-Dec-14
found the perfect location according to coords and compass however the cupboard was bare. Plenty of evidence of others having a bit of a stomp around in the close proximity. Might have to return with a fellow cacher with better eyes. Think

Cleared this area of GC's some time ago. Now we're doing GCA's too it's becoming messy again. I like a nice clean uncluttered map. No, not really - then there'd be no caches to find. All good at GZ other than the odd spider's web - & a fallen tree but that was across the track some metres away & not insurmountable. TFTC.

This is a lovely area of bushland, most enjoyable walking to the cache for an easy find, then onto another close by GC cache.
Thanks for the hunt ClockworkLemon.

Ripped in and went straight to the cache with the help of the new Montana GPS. This is a top spot for geocaching and thanks for taking the time to hide it for us.

Pleasant walk in an area I didn't know existed. TFTC.

Shot off into the bush once the car was parked. I love these types of tracks that just wind and snake around. Got close and saw the well worn track leading to gz. Saw cache camo once I got close enough. SL. TNLN and placed back. Only a few muggles riding and walking around this Sunday afternoon. TFTC. Laughing

On a side note, while signing log, my gps showed 8m, and didn't move. Not sure if it was the tree cover or not.

Our 2nd cache for the day where we were the 2nd to fill out the log book. This cache proved to be a lot simpler and a lot less stressful than our last foray into this park caching. Thanks.
