Description

The small township of Conara is situated in the Northern Midlands, south of Launceston. It has a population of around 400, and has been an important point on the main railway line between Hobart and Launceston since the line was opened in the 1870s. The town lies on the intersection of the old coach roads between Hobart and Launceston, and the coach road from Swansea and the East Coast. Conara has been known during its history by a number of names, including The Corners, Willis’s’ Corner, and Humphrey’s Waterhole. Key features of the town include the former railway station, now disused, and The Corners Inn, known as The Disappearing House. This building came by this unusual name due to the illusion seen by travellers coming along the road towards the house: Before the Midlands Highway was slightly re-routed as you come closer, the house seemed to disappear into the ground behind a small hill. Unfortunately this does not occur now.

The last in this section for us to get us to where we finished yesterday. Had hoped to do more yesterday but turned back because of the weather and exactly the same thing happened today. Pulled up to #35 and some big fat raindrops started falling. Just as well this was the last one before turning.
Pretty pleased that we didn't use the battery power very much till this point today, but with the rain getting heavier we did use them on the way back. Plus it's more uphill on the way back.
What is it about this section of the trail? Does it always rain here? Perhaps it's the highest point?
So back to the van and then down to the free camp area for lunch before tackling #10 - #4 and the 2 bonus caches.
Thanks ICYBEETAS.

Mr T from Tassie Trekkers and Mr W decided to tackle this well set up series of caches on the NETRTrail. It was a great day to be out riding. The better halves dropped them off at 10.15 at No. 56 and collected them at No. 01 five hours later. The effort in setting this series up is appreciated as well as the information added to each cache page. The well detailed hints were appreciated. TFTC
