Tunnel Hill Mount Rumney, Tasmania, Australia
By wilco (Vale 5-July-2018) on 05-Aug-13. Waypoint GC4J0R1

So today I thought it was about time I wandered up and went for a walk and retrieve this series of caches. Although I didn't even try and get the last couple as there were muggles around. But overall was a nice walk albeit very noisy from the highway. Nice quick find on a very busy road.

Very Good Hiding Place. Not Enough For Us To Give Up Yet.

Today we headed out from Sorell to find a few caches. We couldnt go very far as our car insurance was a drive less pay less deal which runs out on Saturday and we only had 50kms left.we finished the day today with 6km for tomorrow. Great planning I think .We found a few challenge caches and went on a nice walk by the freeway. We found all the caches that we looked for which was a bonus. Nice quick find here in the obvious spot. Interesting to read about the train line. TFTC

Tasmania Trip Day 10. For my last day in the Hobart area, I dizzied to have a go at some of the challenge caches in the area. Mostly the YCDIT caches, even though I will be relying on non Tasmanian caches in the most part for the qualification. I managed to get several other caches along the day and for once was not out until the end of the day. I Finished the day with some LABs in the botanic gardens and then went to a local pub in Battery point for a quiet afternoon and dinner. I off to Launceston tomorrow as the end of the trip draws closer.I did not actually see the railway tunnel, but that did not stop me finding this cache here today.Thanks for the cache Tas_Community46046.5 TNLNVisited: World Traveling Gold GC A#6 & 2015 Ides of March A#312**Albida**

You need small hands to get it out!

Found. TFTG

We were here in March, but there were roadworks taking place nearby so we had to leave this one for another day. Today there were no roadworks so we were able to make a quick find. Sorry for the late log.Thanks for the cache wilco!

Very quick find! Thank you. Low find rate today so this was a relief! Last time we came here signing challenge caches nearby we couldnt get this one due to lots of works in the area. TFTC!

Amazing at sunset

Good hint! Thanks!

Scoot has been obsessed with this tunnel and old railway since I mentioned it to him a few weeks back. Unfortunately we weren't able to get a glimpse of the tunnel, but thankful for an excuse to come to it so we know where it actually is

Great spot TFTC

I come past here daily, right under my nose or should I say Bullaring!

Adelaide to Hobart Road Trip.
Day Six: New Norfolk to Hobart Airport and a flight home.
Weather: Chilly morning, sunny day.

I’ve deemed this very spot to be the most suitable to leave the campervan while I walk down to the two nearby challenges. Picked this one up on my return. A quick find.

Thanks to Tas_Community for keeping Wilco’s cache in play here.

It’s officially a mega.

thanks Tas_Community

Found with Mtrax on our first day in Hobart! The weather was overcast, but the rain held off! A nice cache here - thanks wilco.

Found it!!!!

Finally, after purchasing a ticket in November last year when the fairly cheap fare to Tassie was even further reduced the time had come to travel down and cache in a brand new state! This was a quick interim find on the way to some of the YCDT challenge caches.

A quick find while visiting Hobart.

Thanks

On our Tour through Tassie we made a stop to find the caches.
Here we can find the Cache after a short search.
Thank you and greetings from Germany send Moorhelmi

Heading home after doing some grocery shopping and decided to grab this on the way. Was a quick find but cache was out in open and does not appear to have a magnet anymore. Log is also a bit tattered but still useable. Signed the log and replaced ina little less visible place where I think it probably lived with its magnet anyway. TFTC.

A lovely little drive by on a road I haven't been on for a while TFTC Tas_Community

RIP Wilco
Nearly got to go on a private tunnel tour from one end once. Pity I lucked out because it would have been very interesting.

Park and grab

Quick park and grab

It's a pity you can not access the tunnel
Found with Lady membsec on an afternoon adventure.

Tassie Trip Day 87 - Today with the weather truning again we decided to make a trip into Hobart to collect some materials for to doing of cross stich so the only place was Spotlight so a couple of neaby caches and a couple of multi strarts.

Arrived at the GZ and after a short search soon had the cache in hand with the log extracted, signed and all returned to from where it came.

Thanks wilco for showing us this interesting place.

Quickly found on a chilly day.

Found quickly by Geokid. Thanks wilco

Terrible weather today....
Sign in as no trouble..
Thank you for bring us here, wink!!!

found with Geofriends... Thanks

TFTC. It’s not magnetic anymore.

Hi there wilco.

We found your cache **"Tunnel Hill"** at 9:47:00 L today. (This makes our grand total 18711).

Our primary aim today was to find "Look at the Time, Son!" (GC16VP4), and then to find as many "next closest" caches as we could before the GPS batteries went flat. We thoroughly enjoyed our trip around Cambridge & ended up finding a variety of container types, and sizes hidden along our route.

Our cache count was 9 caches today, with 1 DNF's. Without geocaching as our guide we would never have found so many interesting places on our travels.

**Coordinate Accuracy:** We found the cache around 2m from where the GPS said we should be looking.
**Cache Condition:** The container and log book are in good shape.
**Took:** Nothing.
**Left:** A Smiley Badge.

Thanks for the hunt today,

Regards

Ian & Penny.

TFTC, interesting facts! Found on a day out with Tassie Tart

Lived in the area for a couple of years and was not aware of this railway so thank you for history -very informative. Found with Hector Penguin.
