Description

The Plenty Link Rd, dubbed the Southern Explorer, is about 40km long and connects the Glenfern and Glenora roads intersection on the outskirts of New Norfolk with Lonnavale Rd near Judbury In the Huon Valley. It was intended to provide a valuable tourism link for both regions but was found to be unfeasible in a report by consulting company Jacobs Australia in May 2015. Today it is mainly used by locals, log trucks and wood hookers.

There are some amazing views of the surrounding hills and mountains as you traverse this link, and don't miss a stop at the wild rivers that flow under narrow one lane bridges along the way.  

 

There is a comfortabe pull off here and the cache is just off the gravel

Thanks for the cache Gooseandegg. Out today with RLD4963 and the GeoGSP. Neither of us had ever driven along this road before, so it was all a new experience for us (the GeoGSP is not allowed to drive, but he is very good putting his head out of the wind with his tongue hanging out Very Happy ). Pulled over close to GZ for this one and spotted the likely spot. Took a second pair of eyes and it was found. Cheers.

Hello gooseandegg thanks for the cache.

I had been to a moist event at Franklin and was planing on coming back home this was so when I heard You, stainless-steel-rat and Toolman were also coming home this way I tagged along for the trip.
As the trip continued this cache was tenth to be found.

TFTC.
 
Again since I was here when this cache was placed it was an easy find, thanks for the cache.

This is the second time we have come down this road, today we are going South to North with the company of 1TOOLMAN and Alby, a few of the caches along this route were known to myself and gooseandegg since we were together when we place our caches only a week ago.
After an event down at Huonville myself goose and 1TOOLMAN had planned to drive back to Hobart via this road, yeah I know a bit out of the way but hey that's caching, Alby had asked to join us and we were more than happy to have him follow us North.
Another great day out collecting some new caches, where everyone got a few finds.

Thanks for the cache.

As we travelled along the link Road we came across several very slippery, wet spots but apart from a few very small slips our All Wheel Drive Toyota wagon - Red Ned - managed the road well.

Like previous hides this one also had a good parking spot, well off the road which was just as well as two unladen log trucks came by after we pulled up - they seem to take up a lot of road.

We could see where previous finders had walked to GZ so followed the trail which lead to a well hidden container. Whitewebbs had been here earlier today. So this cache was seeing a little traffic. Container and contents were in good condition.

Thanks for this cache GooseandEgg. We enjoyed the pretty, peaceful spot and the view down the valley. There were two particularly attractive dead trees covered with lichen on the side of the hill that looked slightly eerie with the sun shining on them through a late afternoon mist.

Hey weren't we on this road we have never been all the way through from South to North on Saturday? Today we decided to travel North to South, another 200 km round trip to find more newly published caches and this was the second on our list. Accurate coords and hint led to a quick find. A great view. All these great caches to find on the Plenty Link Road now. There was more traffic being a work day, especially closer to Huonville where there were roadworks. TFTC

Hi goose
Had received notice that one of my caches may have gone so went to check on it today - all fixed now
However, the truth is - some new caches were available and the temptation was too great!
Any way, got to and logged this one at...
Sainted at 1054 hours with a quick find.
Loved the views especially with some "GERRY" around
Clean sheet for a *FTF* - thank you
Like the mossy spots along the road; this rock was good to look at
TFTC, and cheers
