Description

Soldiers Memorial Avenue I

The Soldier’s Memorial Avenue forms part of the Queens Domain in Hobart Tasmania. It is an Avenue of Honour comprising 520 trees planted in 1918 and 1919 to commemorate soldiers, mainly from Hobart, who died in World War I (the Great War) 1914-1918.

You are looking for a small 200ml sistema container painted brown hidden in the most logical place at GZ. This cache is a companion to Soldiers Memorial Avenue II which can be found further along the avenue.

Mr Beetle dropped me off close to GZ and then drove a little further up to the car park. I worked out where GZ was likely to be but then a teenage muggle came and sat at the rocks nearby. Had to wait quite a while before he moved off and I could search for the cache. It was a lot deeper than I thought and that made me wonder if I didn't delve deep enough for #2 which was a DNF.
We then checked out Legacy Park and we were impressed by what we saw. Love it when geocaching takes us to places like this that we wouldn't know about otherwise.
Thanks.

Thanks for the cache. Was in the area this evening filling in time whilst geoTeenRef was training on the Domain as KGV is under repairs, so it was good that there were a couple of caches nearby as yet unfound by me. A nice evening for a stroll up here, and not too many muggles near GZ itself, except for the jnr cricket game on the adjacent oval. Found 2 pathtags, took one, left the other; although I couldn't find a log to say who'd placed them there - Thanks!

GabGab thanks for the cache.

A very easy find on a lovely day I was a bit worried I might be spotted by the many dog walkers but I was unnoticed.

This area always needed a cache

After finding Caughtatwork's nearby cache we headed to look for this one. We stopped of on the way to watch the start of the cricket match being played on the nearby oval. Accurate coordinates and our cachers instinct soon located the well hidden cache. Contents were in good condition.
Thanks for placing this cache while you were on holiday in Hobart GabGab.

On an after-work jaunt, I parked as close as I could and made an easy find on a gorgeous afternoon.
Thanks.

There was a dog obedience class being held on the nearby oval but the owners had no interest in us so a nice quick and easy find was made. Thanks for the cache GabGab.

Hi GabGab
Love your caching name!
Another quick find on the way back to the Huon after a visit to the Eastern Shore.
Sainted at 1156hrs.
Have played cricket at this ground, top scoring in the innings with 54 or so runs.
TFTC and cheers

A great spot for a cache. We locals hide our moveables around the whole domain. A lot of work has been done to nearby parking areas and the Soldiers Memorial walk which has made for a lovely walk. Took a pathtag and left one. Thanks GabGab for the cache and caughtatwork for the pathtag. Will claim in the Summer Scavenger Series games. Go Clan Minotaur

thanks for another FTF. You have given us great enjoyment over the last few days. I was a little surprised this was still unfound. I saw it published earlier but we tied up with family. SSR was tied up in dreamland and emerged around noon so once he was respectable he picked me up and we drove straight to GZ. We left the pathtags for future finders. TFTC
 
another FTF left the pathtags for others
