Parked right near the cache, across the road from the walking track. We did not walk the track as there were very loud aggressive dogs inside the fence next to the path and you couldn't hear yourself even think. The cache was an easy find but it took some time to log and replace, due to the traffic and proximity of the cache. Liked this container.

Thanks for the cache OldSaint. Out and about today with RLD4963 and the GeoGSP. It was dog central at GZ today, so whilst the GeoGSP was saying hello to the other puppies, RLD4963 made the find. Would have liked to walk the full trail but didn't have time today, so we have a reason to come back.

Went caching in the Huon area today with ABear71. I had forgotten that we had found this cache some time ago, so Bear made the find this time and we all signed the log. (again!) Thanks for the cache Old Saint.

Quick find on my way into Huonville. Easy when I was in the correct spot but drove past it a few times. Too cold to go for a walk. TFTC old saint
I drove past this and actually thought that would be an obvious place to hide a cache but forgot to check until later, so had to drive back and at least I knew where I was heading.

Found this cache on a learners drive through from New Norfolk to Huonville. Geo Kid I had to stop and start a few times to find the caches.

On a previous visit to Huonville we had walked along Skinners Track and enjoyed the changing views of the town. Today it was a park and grab. Accurate coordinates hint led to a very quick find. The container and contents were in good condition.
Thanks for the cache Old Saint and for bringing us back to this area.

We saw there had been new caches published linking New Norfolk to Huonville so we thought we might head off and find them and quite a few others in the Huon area that had been published while we have been away. As we had planned to see the grandsons play their soccer matches it was nearly lunchtime before we made a start. Seeing the New Norfolk end cache had been found we decided to head to the Huon Valley area and then work our way to New Norfolk via the Plenty Link Road.
A quick park and grab as we headed toward more caches at Cygnet

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 I found easily after the muggle across the road disappeared out of sight.

Another quick find on a fun filled day. This is an area we didn't know about so we look forward to returning here for a bit of exploration. TFTC
We were on our way home after a great day of caching in and around 'Hooters' and had this one last cache to grab on the way. After waiting for a couple of passing cars we grabbed the cache and logged it quickly. The weather was perfect, the caching was fun and the company was acceptable too hahaha. I had a blast and really appreciate all the new hides - thanks OldSaint. Bed for me now.
