great spot, thanks Old Saint we've always wanted to drive the Plenty link rd. Now we can take it off our bucket lists
Today our plan was to cache along the Plenty Valley Rd and this was one we found on our journey. Enjoyed the drive and scenery along this road that we had not traversed before. Thanks for bringing us to a new location. We love exploring these back roads. Quick find here.

Thanks for the cache OldSaint. 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 ). This was a nice quick find, compared to our first search for the day. All is good at GZ, Cheers.

Out and about with the Rafas for the summer GCA game, New Years Day caching with god company. Driving on a new road to me as I have never been out this way before. Nice views towards the middle section but concentrating on driving so missing some of the views. GPSr all over the place, had to search by myself. lots of muggles at this area just when we turned up. TFTC TNLN log dry.

Out and about with the two ‘wanna be mainlanders’
After an event near FRANK we headed out to get some GCA
smilies. Good run with Alby following along and the views along here are spectacular.
I managed a quick find here took a couple photos
Of small pines working they’re magic.

Hello OldSaint 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 GooseandEggs, stainless-steel-rat and Toolman were also coming home this way I tagged along for the trip.
As the trip continued this cache was ninth to be found.

I remember we hesitated at this gate last week when we saw the sign, but not for long! A quick find by the toolman here. Also with SSR and Alby D. Time was pushing on but we were covering the territory well. Thanks OldSaint

Last time we were here we stopped at this gate and wondered if we should be on another road, but after looking at the map we carried on, again the cache was a quick find with the help of 8 eyes, a great little for a cache with somewhere to pull off.
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 pulled up we commented on the sign behind the gate. It was there when we last came this way several years ago. It certainly does not deter the locals who seem to fly past even in waet weather.
Good coordinates and a useful hint lead to a quick find of the container. We noticed that Whitewebbs had been here earlier in the day and were probably on their way home by now. Container and contents where in good condition. There was evidence all around the area of the presence of black cockatoos with ripped up green cones and broken young branches.
Thanks for another cache on the link road Old Saint. This was Gate 1 for us.

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 third on our list. Accurate coords and hint led to a quick FTF @ 12.35 pm. 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
