History in the park Parklands, Tasmania, Australia

Need to spend the next 6 weeks going to and fro to the NWGH, so for a bit of variety we are engaging in a bit of caching in the area at least once a week. Found all the necessary information conveniently close by and worked the co-ordinates pretty quickly. Nice recycling with the cache container, and its contents were intact, dry with room to sign. Thankyou for another one Sharnie's Tribe.

A beautiful walk in the park where I spent my youth. A very well hidden cache with a great weatherproof container TFTC Sharnie’s Tribe

Getting the information for this one was easy but I should have listened to Mr Beetle about how to get to the final GZ.
Think I took the most round about, difficult way to get there possible.
Oh well, getting back was easy.
Thanks.

We had planned to come North to visit family in Launceston over the weekend but decided to take the long way detouring via Sisters Creek and Tullah to collect 2 dragon zones we did not have. Along the way we targeted a few caches and this was one of them. We always enjoy visiting this spot. A quick find at GZ of a now very familiar cache container. There were so many caches we went past as time was limited, but it gives us a reason to return. We travelled over 700 km and are still not home. TFTM

Found on a caching run down the coast. When we visit Burnie we usually visit this park always a good place to stretch the legs and this cache gave us the oportunity to do just that. A straight foward multi resulting in a quick find. Cache and contents in good condition.

Many thanks Sharnie's Tribe for publishing this cache and adding to our geocaching experience.

Interesting tour of the park while up in the NW
Geee that's a steep slope!

Woo hoo...two multi's in a row....although this one has a sad tale to it. I remember watching when CPL Baird's parents were awarded his VC...and listening to the circumstances. Very sad stuff indeed....

After finding the answers, it was off up the hill where the cache was found after a short-ish search. Log was signed, cache replaced and then it was back to the car.....grabbing another one as I went down the hill.

Thanks for showing us this area Sharnie's Tribe. Recommended for the history value...

Everyone knows I love a multi and it was nice to visit this memorial. We worked out GZ quickly and made our way toward it, stopping for another cache on the way. The GPS was all over the place so we checked a few places before finding the cache. Thanks Sharnie's Tribe. I remember a similar cache container to this further west. p.s. we actually stopped at the other one for TazScout to find a few hours later

Day one of a caching weekend found us with Goose&Egg in Burnie Park, a bit of working out and a little help from the smaller members and we soon had this one sorted. tftc

8Soon had the required info then off to gz. A quick find with accurate coords with cache and contents in top condition.
A top cache which makes you think how lucky we are today because of those who fought so many yrs ago, with so many paying with their lives...a great tribute.
Many thanks Sharnie's Tribe for another top cache...cheers ST.

Hi
A three day trip to the North West Coast of Tasmania

Travel:
Started at Huonville through the Lakes Highway on the central Plateau to Deloraine and out to Sisters Beach; back to Somerset for the night. Various places visited through the next day finding caches, mainly in the Penguin area and back to Goat Island Reserve for the night.
Day three, I was caching around Ulverstone and then back to Huonville.
Total kilometres travelled was 1006 kilometres
Found 16 caches during day 1, 26 on day two and 12 on day three – total 54 found and two DNFs.

Walking:
Over the three days, I took 32664 steps burning 5791 calories to cover a distance of 25.51 kilometres in finding the 54 caches.

This cache:
I found this multi most interesting. Walking through the park to the final waypoint, all I could think of - "LEST WE FORGET!"
It was Sainted at 0813 hours
The near by scene was pretty
TFTC and cheers

This was another cache that had been recently published and would provide some useful scavenge points for Tasmania in the States of the Nation summer games.

After visiting Spotlight we headed through Burnie to look for this multi. We had not been in this area since this memorial was added so it was nice to come back. We collected the information, recalculated the final coordinates and headed to GZ. It was quite hot in this part of the park and there was no brezze so we were both looking for some shade as we approached the hide.

Accurate coordinates Had us at GZ with the cache container in hand. For the second time this morning we found ourselves with a blank log book and a {FTF} at 11:40. After signing the log and replacing the container we sat down to enjoy the view and the light breeze. We commented of the fact that we could smell roses but the rose garden in the park was at least 300m away. Maybe there were roses in the gardens overlooking the first part of the park.

Thanks, Sharnie's Tribe for another interesting multi cache that highlights one aspect of Burnie's military history. Thanks also for a cache with useful points for the summer games.

Ready to go, hope you enjoy the hunt
