Nice to not be leaving the track and bush bashing when your arm is in a cast.

Hi Bugietas,
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.
Found with AlbyDangles 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.
After heading straight down to "Large", we found this one as we walked back up the hill.
Cheers, EPs

PS: GA find #500

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 and continued lightly for the remainder of the walk

This cache was a quick, easy find
Sainted it and signed the log at 0855 hours
Cache replaced; now on to the next

The walk was a distance of 7.73 km requiring 10535 steps and burning 1200 calories Overall car mileage was about 60 km

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. While we were looking for this cache ash was falling on the area.

Again we use the hint as the GPS wanted us some distance from the object mentioned in the hint. When our GPS settled it indicated we were 8m from GZ - not bad considering the hide area.

Thanks for this cache Budgietas. The container and contents were in good condition.

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

Working my way back up the track now - having looked at the hint meant I could spot the general area without having to look at my GPS while riding (always dangerous).
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.

Out and ready to go
