Hills of Clarence - Number 1: Gordon's Hill Lindisfarne, Tasmania, Australia
By LilRafa on 25-Nov-19. Waypoint GA11487

The first in a series of caches located on the hills of Clarence.

I've walked up a lot of hills in Clarence over the years and each one gives a slightly different perspective of Hobart.

So which hill in Clarence has the best view?  Has the best walking track?  Is the best for getting away from crowds?

The caches may not be located at the top of each hill, but it will be located near to an area where there is a good view, so stop, soak it up and maybe take a photo.

Gordon's Hill 

"Named after Harry Gordon (? - 30/8/1905), a surveyor who lived at Lindisfarne (Beltana) and who owned this land around this hill, and which he acquired from W P Brownell on 19/10/1895."

Reference: Placenames Tasmania which is the register of all official Tasmanian names assigned by the Nomenclature Board of Tasmania under the Survey Co-ordination Act 1944 (https://www.placenames.tas.gov.au/).

I walked up and down this hill a lot in my youth.  There used to be a fitness track with equipment dotted around the hill.  The walk around the hill is actually a bit of a challenge with some quite steep sections which can be tricky after a lot of rain.  I still like to walk up this hill occasionally with my dog, there aren't a lot of people that walk around the track, and we usually see quite a few wallabies.  It doesn't take that long to get to an area where you get a great view of the mountain.

Enjoy the walk.  You will need to bring a writing implement.  Please rehide the cache carefully ensuring it is well hidden.
