Kaoota Tramway Small Tasmania, Australia
By budgietas on 31-Dec-18. Waypoint GA6079

1st ever find. excitement plus ...

Looks like a day of cache blindness today. Just me looking, the GeoGSP really isn't much help.

A quick find whilst walking down the tramway with stainless steel rat, Tassie Trekkers and whitewebbs.
Thanks Budgietas

another great find while walking with WW TT and GE
Thanks for the cache

"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.

Found on Monday 07 September 2020 at 1750

Great to be back caching and finding caches of the many friends I have made from this great past time.
Being a BUDGIETAS cache I expected perfection...I got it
Cheers old friend.

Hi Budgietas,
TFTC,
Today EeePees and I are out on a walk/ride on this track. EeePees left me while ago 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

Find number: 1️⃣8️⃣

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 and continued lightly for the remainder of the walk

Saved this cache for the return walk just to break the monotony
It too was a quick, easy find
Sainted it and signed the log at 0933 hours
Cache replaced; now back to the car and home

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.

The hint was very helpful in locating this cache as our GPS wanted us on the opposite side of the track. After signing the log our GPS had settled and indicated we were 14m SE of GZ.

Thanks for this cache Budgietas. 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

Keeping an eye out for something matching the hint meant I didn't need to look at the GPS while riding.
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 (I remembered to put 2019 at last!).
Thanks.

Out and ready to go
