Description
The word Tangara is an Aboriginal word meaning, "Let's get away together" and is the name given to the main recreational trail network in the Clarence Municipality from Cambridge and Five Mile Beach, near the Hobart Airport, to South Arm.
It comprises a main corridor intersected by many other tracks and offers over 80 connected kilometres of recreational trails through scenic coastal reserves and undulating semi-rural countryside.
The trail is constantly growing, with new sections added each year. It is becoming recognised as one of the best horseriding, walking and mountain bike trail systems in Australia and is being used as a model in areas where trails are being established.
A Tangara Trail brochure is available in a handy pocket size format for horse riders, walkers and mountain bike riders from the Clarence Council. Maps are also available on the City of Clarence website or Tangara Trail website. NB a map will not be required to do the cache as it is a short walk from the car parking coordinates, but may be handy if you wish to explore the area further.
The following Code of Conduct has been taken from the Tangara Trail website.
The Code of Conduct provides an etiquette guide to assist the various Tangara Trail users to share the tracks responsibly and minimise potential conflict.
The following etiquette guide is taken from the Tasmanian Mountain Bike Plan 2009 and has been modified to suit the Tangara Trail.
1. Respect other users
- Use your voice to alert other Tangara Trail users of your presence
- Horse riders have priority, then walkers; MTB riders give way to both.
As a courtesy, walkers may step aside on narrow sections of track to allow bikes to pass
- When passing slow to the speed of other users, prepare to stop if necessary
- When walking with your dog, keep it under effective control and restrain the dog on a lead or by the collar if you encounter a horse, bike or other walkers.
2. Be safe
- Slow down for corners and blind spots
- Ride your horse or bike at a controlled speed
- Wear an approved equestrian or bike helmet
- Carry a mobile phone with you in case of emergency
3. Stay on the Tangara Trail
- Do not trespass on private land
- Obey signs prohibiting access to beaches during bird nesting season, or other sensitive areas
4. Minimise impacts on the environment
- Avoid muddy tracks – seek an alternative after rain
- Take out your litter ‘leave no trace’
- Respect local flora and fauna
- Keep your boots, bike or horse hooves clean to avoid the spread of weeds and plant diseases
5. Get involved
- Report trail hazards, incidents and maintenance issues to Clarence City Council
- Take part in trail maintenance days

We decided that it was definitely time to finish off this Tangara Trail series and as the bear was on night shift he came along too. Lovely autumn weather made walking these tracks very pleasant. The bear solved the puzzle and made the find.
Thanks for the cache and the series whitewebbs.

out and about with the Rafas, last for this morning a rest for lunch, easy puzzle nice hide and find TFTC TNLN log dry.
A quick find when we reached GZ. Managed a quick hour just before dark to grab the four caches out this way. Have had them on the target list for a while but haven't had the opportunity. We'd almost reached the turnoff to GZ from the track when a doggy walking muggle came by, it's all in the timing. TFTC and the exercise
Worked this cache out while stopped for a history cache and added to the list of finds for the day with a quick stop off and find
Solved puzzle fairly easily and soon had cache in hand. Thanks for bringing us to this area.
Driving home from from the Clifton Beach after failing to remember to look for one more thing after my visit to the trig point decided to pop in and see if I could find one of the Tangara Trail series. Parked the car and headed along yet another section of this network of tracks that I have never been on before. No trouble finding the cache and it was a quick sign of the log and the cache returned to its place. Thanks for putting a cache here Whitewebbs!

We took the easy option and drove to this cache, although if it hadn't been so close to the end of daylight hours we would probably have chosen to walk to get to know the Tangara Trail a little better. We had worked out the coordinates before leaving home and soon had the cache in hand - we were pleased that it was a larger cache, which we don't seem to have quite as much trouble finding!!

We had planned one caching trip to Hobart and the Eastern Shore during The Christmas in July game. The ground kept shifting as new Trophy challenges were added so we needed to add more GA caches to out to find list. Not only did we need cache finds for Christmas in July, we needed a cache for a Frigid Solstice, 10 GA Dragon Zone caches for the 12th for the find 25 caches on each day of the month as well as 13 moveables that we need to move between 250 and 500km and a cache in the Sorell council area, we had found caches in Sorell before Dragon Zone but needed one after April 2014. Of course there were also unfound GC caches in the areas we were going to visit. All this meant our to find list was quite long and we were unlikely to manage to knock them all off today. We also needed a day that the weather Bureau forecast predicted would be mainly fine. July 12 looked like it.
We usually leave home quite early however with the threat of ice on sections of the Bass and Midlands highways we decided to head off just before 7:00. We did have the added complication of dosing our daughters cat with its anti biotic pill. It only took one person to administer a pill to our last cat however daughter's cat, that is smaller definitely needs two people one to make sure the pill goes in and is swallowed and the second to firmly hold cat particularly her paws. After leaving our place we headed to daughters abode where we were greeted by a nature strip strew with her household garbage - today was bin day in her street. There was no bin in sight. It appeared that someone had tipped her bin out and stolen the bin. After dosing the cat we found a large bin bag, collected the scattered garbage and took it back to our place so that it could go out with ours tomorrow.
Off we headed again an hour later than we had intended. There was little likelihood of ice on the roads at this time even though there was quite thick frost on the road edges at Latrobe, Deloraine and Westbury. We turned off the Midlands Highway on to the Mud Walls Road and headed through Colebrook and Campania then on to Sorell and Midway Point. This was the fifth cache on our list.
We had solved this puzzle before leaving home and checked out GZ on Google Earth. As we walked up the track a small group of Eastern Rosella parrots landed in a tree beside the track - always love to see these cheeky birds in their natural environment. We had to watch our feet as we followed our GPSs to GZ as the local wild life had been digging furiously and the area was pocked with many holes that would fit the toe section of our boots.
Once at GZ we made a quick find of the well hidden small container. Container and contents were in good condition.
Thanks Whitewebbs for this puzzle cache and for showing us another section of the Tangara Trail. As we were not familiar with this area we appreciated the inclusion of parking coordinates for this and the other caches in the series.

Hello whitewebbs thanks for the cache.
After finding your other caches in the area I thought I would have ago at solving your puzzle cache out in the field. Well my reading abilities are not good so was very surprised that I could make sense of your writing without too much trouble and it wasn’t too long before I had the cords into the GPS. I parked at the end of the road and walked to GZ. At GZ the cache was easily found, yes this one I did find without any problems.
I’m amazed on where the Tangara Trail goes and wonder why there isn’t a lot more trails like this linking suburbs and towns around, then again they might be there but I might not know about them.

Hi whitewebbs
After finding two caches in Hobart, got in geo vehicle and came straight to the car park for this cache
Having solved the puzzle quickly and having jotted them in my personal log book, ground zero was a quick target.
GPS was good as it led me to the appropriate "structure" on the first effort.
Sainted the cache at 1253hrs
Looked up the next of the four and started the trek to it. What a mammoth walk! (it would have been but took the car instead!!)
TFTC and cheers

I pulled up at the Rats Nest and he was a bit panicky. He said we need to solve the puzzle. I took a brief look and knew exactly what to do. He eventually caught on! We wandered around and around as the GPS played with us. Eventually we saw a suitable hide and went directly to it. Yep, there it is. Thanks whitewebbs, I look forward to exploring more of these trails as we hunt for more caches.

Popped out with Goose of GooseandEgg to grab a few caches since the weather was good and we cant turn down new WhiteWebbs caches!
I was a bit slow on the puzzle but Goose spotted it as soon as he looked at it, Doh!

We saw four new caches come up while we were out caching at Midway Point. We ummed and arrhed about whether to go for FTF's or not, given that we had limited time before work. We almost decided against it but we thought about who our likely rivals for FTF would be - Whitewebbs or Membsec. We eliminated Whitewebbs because they owned the caches and we eliminated Membsec because we assumed they were likely to be orienteering at Rosny. Thinking that the competition for FTF was low we decided to go for it. The walks to each of the caches were very pleasant on this sunny but cold day. We found blank log books at each of the caches. This is a very nice area which we don't spend enough time exploring so thanks for bringing us back here. Thanks for the caches.
