Description

A cache hidden in the spirit of States of the Nation Scavenger Hunt

A Geocaching Australia Cache that has not been set up in Tasmania.

I was thinking about the scavenger hunt “States of the Nation” and was wondering how to particiate as far as hiding caches is concerned. Caches found, hidden and the ones I enjoyed the most. Hence this cache was born!

There is a condition on the ability to log this cache. You must have found the following caches BEFORE you are able to log a find of this one. The caches are four Trig Points that I have enjoyed the most. In your log you need to detail the date you found each of the below caches otherwise your log will be deleted.

Should any of the above caches be archived, it would be replaced with another that is still availble.

Hello OldSaint thank you for the cache.

I had a little bit of time spare so I came down to Huonville to find some caches this one in particular.

I had already found three of the trig points on the list so last Saturday I went for a drive to Loyetea to get the last one.

For the past years now I have been able to get at least one *FTF* on ANZAC Day and I knew it would be a lot of work for any one else to get this one before me so I made sure I get down here today to find it.

Loyeta Peak ST513 21/4/18

Barren Tier Area ST336 24/4/16

Mount Pearson ST764 6/4/13

Herringback ST51 21/8/17


As a bonus it's my 1,000 GA cache.
