Description

After a lovely walk along the tramway I decide more people should try this track.  My walk took about 2 hours return from the top car park but that included hiding these caches.

The Track is very easily walked, being reasonably wide and very small gradient

"Hello Budgietas thank you for the cache.

The last time I walked down the tramway I left two of your caches so I could find them on another calendar day, today I came back down to fill in another day.
This cache of yours was an easy find.
A lovely warm afternoon for a walk.

Found on Monday 07 September 2020 at 1751

Hi Budgietas,
TFTC,
Today EeePees and I are out on a walk/ride on this track. EeePees has left me and walked back to the car while I find these caches as I have not found them yet until today!
I am now making my way home whilst finding the others along the way.
Thanks again,
KingSmev

Thanks for the cache Budgietas.
Out and about on an 'after-work' outing, as AlbyDangles wanted to find two GA caches today, so I was invited to tag along.
It was a great evening for a stroll along this special (former) Tramway, track.
We'd found Large, then Regular, my accomplice had then fulfilled his 'calendar requirements' and downed tools, and began heading towards the geoMobile.
I decided to grab the other two, just in case I cannot accompany him on his next visit.
Cheers, EPs.

Hi Budge
Interesting what a slight nudge will make you do early in the morning for at least a week
Started out at the usual parking spot and continued the walk from there
Plenty of wallaby and potties around this morning

Weather; fine but overcast until I got to the first cache where it started to drizzle

This cache was a quick, easy find
Sainted it and signed the log at 0841 hours
Cache replaced; now on to the next

TFTC and cheers

We had had two old caches, Black Gold and Kaoota Tramway on our to do list for quite a few years but today was the first time we had unlimited time to cache while in Hobart. After a walk up Chimney Pot Hill we headed to the top of the tramway walk just out of Kaoota where, after collecting the information for Black Gold, we headed to look for recently published caches on this trail.

It was a pleasant walk under the canopy but the constant crunch of the dry wattle seed pods under our feet was a constant reminder of how dry the under growth is. The smell of smoke from the nearby bush fire reminded us how quickly this forest would burn. It seemed as if we were viewing this part of the world through an orange filter.

We had read the hint so spotted the hide as we walked passed and soon had the cache in hand. The container and contents were in good condition.

Thanks for another cache along the tramway Budgietas.

After a walk up Chimney Pot Hill Mr W and Mr T decided to do the Kaoota Tramway Track. Mr W had never been on the track and was pleasantly surprised at how well maintained it was. He may return with the grandsons for a bike ride with them. Thanks for hiding a cache to find along the way. A great walk. TFTC

A real ride-by - I didn't even get off the bike!
The cache had no name/code in the logbook, so I added them on the first page and then recorded my *FTF* on the second (though I think I put the year as 2018).
Thanks
