Logs
This geocache appears to be MIA so to stop it clogging the search lists we'll archive it. This is done to keep the geocaching Australia clean and up to date.
The DNF log states that the searcher had seen the cache before and therefore knew what they were looking for. Also, the hint of 'Guard Rail' is very specific, so unfortunately it does look as if this one has gone.
If the owner can confirm it is in place the listing can be resurrected by placing an "unarchived" log against it.

It is hard to believe it is nearly summer in Tasmania with the weather we are experiencing. Headed out with snow on the mountain to hunt down a few moveables travelling to South Hobart, Fern Tree, Kingston and then on to Howden. It certainly was cold here in Fern Tree below snow capped Mount Wellington. Parked off on the side of the road dodging rain and hail but had no luck locating. As I have come across this moveable cache before I knew what I was looking for. Hopefully it has been picked up and not logged, but I did find another moveable further towards Kingston in a guard rail which was in place. If someone had been cache hunting and forgot to log, I would have thought that one would have been missing as well.

Hello Gwiber thanks for the cache.
Left in place didn't move it.
I was out finding some Dragon Zone caches trying to get some off my unfound list and trying to increase my Dragon Zone points just because I can as no one else will know or care.
Today I had already found four cache one in Howden and another two in Kingston and another one on this road so this one is the fith one towards the imagery sovereign.
On the way to the cache I drove past the new intersection of Summerleas Road and the Huon Hwy it is amazing the amount of work they have put into the intersection, the hole is amazing. On the way to where your cache is hiding I stopped off and took a couple of photos for some other caches. I found your cache easily in a likely spot.
I have found a little about the intersection.
Planned upgrades include construction of:
A grade separated interchange with Summerleas Road passing under the Huon Highway
Roundabouts on Summerleas Road (either side of the Huon Highway) to provide access to and from the Huon Highway
An overtaking lane on the Huon Highway for traffic travelling towards the Huon Valley (lane beginning immediately north of Kingston interchange)
A flexible safety barrier to separate traffic on the Huon Highway
Facilities for cyclists and pedestrians
Safer bus stop locations.
Found at 1235

Walked straight up to this one and surprisingly found it in 15 seconds. Again, left this one here.
Thanks for the cache!

Apologies for holding this cache too long; family illness prevented a hide before now.
Back out again on Chimney Pot Hill.

Hi Gwiber
A six day caching trip had me travel 1675km around the West and North West Coasts of Tasmania.
Places visited included Hagley, Latrobe, Ulverstone, Burnie, Waratah, Savage River, Corinna, Yolla, Wynyard, Oldina, Boat Harbour, Sisters Beach, Gunns Plains, Sheffield, Natone and Lovett Flats.
Eight caches only found on day one.
This was the 26th cache to be found, total caches found 55.
Had an easy find here, Sainting the cache and signing the log at 1730hrs.
TFTC and cheers

A quick find in a familiar area, will move on asap. Glad he didn't bring any passengers from his previous hide!
After a trip from SA this little vehicle is ready to tour Tasmania, waiting close to the path.
Stopped off to look for this little vehicle on our way to Balaklava. unearthed it from the sides of an ant hill. Residents were not impressed. Will dry him out before releasing it to continue its travels.
This little cutie has been in my garage for way too long. Time for more adventures
I finally had to let go of this little traveler
Back in civilization again after many miles traveled

I saw this lonely little traveler by the side of the highway this morning
Unmoved for over 3 months now, so I have taken it with me as I head north

Dropping off a group of moveable caches near the GC TB Hotel
Dropped off after completing the Kanadian bash series of caches.
Seeing as this moveable has been in this location for over a year and i was in the area I thought I might grab it and move it to another locale. I'll hopefully move it on the weekend.
Riding past to clear the head. A quick visit to this cache, as I am not playing bingo, I have left the cache here for a player
Thanks Gwiber for the cache

Dropped off this little car on a walk around the Koondoola bushland today. Left this one at the base of a tree together with another cache. Safe travels!
Managed to grab this cute little car from another cacher this morning and will move it on to a new location very soon. Thanks for the cache Gwiber!
Thanks to FelixII for dropping some moveables in my area. Will drop back in Perth on Wed

Clocking up some miles with a visit to SeabreezeOz territory.
Hope to see him back in Perth for 12/12/12
So after such great success in Gosnells I was heading to these caches along Tonkin Hwy when my phone beeped. At a red light I glanced at the screen and couldn't believe my eyes new caches released in Rockingham and Im almost there.
So pulled over on Thomas rd to sort out updating co-ords into my TomTom. So after nabbing those caches Wileyclan pulled up alongside a bit too late for the FTF but we joined forces to head back up to Orelia to find these 5 together.
