The Abigail Trail #5 Berriedale, Tasmania, Australia
By TasKanga on 08-Sep-14. Waypoint GC5CHVV

Lost. First time logging in in quite some time.

Did not find

No sign of it

Pretty sure looking in the right spot, but no sign.

Looks like this is gone. The hiding spot is quite obvious with the hint.

Very confident I know where it was. I suspect that it is now gone. Its been while since anyone found it.

Really didn't get a chance to search for this one. Parked the bikes and headed down to search but then noticed a muggle standing at the window of the nearby house watching us. Hoped he might move away but he didn't so we thought it prudent to leave it for now. Thanks, we'll have to have another try at this one next time we head south.

Spend a good while looking but just got covered in stuff and such just gave up. I will come back at some point and take another look.

Gave up after becoming buried in bush sheddings

Tftc! Kids had fun with these.

The hardest of the five but a good hide. Thanks taskanga for a nice little stroll.

Hardest of them all but the most fun!

Genials eight find

Tftc almost left due ti mum butt sister found it in time finished the trail

TFTC after a while of looking and almost giving up my sister decided to stick her arm in and had been put back in behind a rock.

TFTC nearly left it cause we thought had blown away with the bad weather but I double checked and found it

Thanks Abigail for a great little series to boost the day's tally. Another quick and easy find in this rather spectacular part of the world.. thanks..!!

Had a chat to some locals walking their dog after we were leaving GZ. TFTC

Found it, Logged it, NEXT!!!

We're enjoying this little trail and views Easy find TFTC

TFTC!

We are so lucky to have the waterfront here in our city. The walk was great and despite the heat quite relaxing. A great series because of the location. Pleasant finishing spot.

Great walk thanks

Visiting Australia from Canada and we made a trip down to Tasmania. We were thwarted by the weather on our attempt to go up Mt. Wellington, lots and lots of fog, so we visited the markets downtown and then headed to the Cadbury Factory for a tour, only to discover they no longer have tours, so no free chocolate. What to do before we head to the airport? Go geocaching of course. Thanks for a nice little walk along the river. Thanks for the caches TasKanga.

Made it to the end successfully and dry. Thanks for the trail.

Mrs Dunmowin and Mr FelixII went for Abigails walk today, leaving respective partners to fend for themselves. After being dropped of at the start of the trail, it was no time before we had our first find.
Picked up the next three, and now the last one. All easy finds.

Signed the log, Mr FelixII added a new log sheet, we re-hid the cache, and set out to the end of Abigail's Trail, where we waited for Mrs FelixII to collect us.

Thanks TasKanga for the series.

Travelling around Australia and spending a few months in Tasmania.

Mr Felix headed out with Mrs Dunmowin to tackle these caches being dropped and picked up at either end. A nice pleasant walk along the coastline.

Always nice to go caching with friends.

Added a new logsheet to this cache.

Great walk and a good place to finish on a seat. TFTC

Quick find with frmen1 on our evening stroll. End of the mini series. Decided to take the long way back to car. A lovely time for a walk. TNLN TFTC

Another quick find while having a nice walk with tassie expat. Tftc

Series completed thank you

First for the new year, hooray

Initial fix pointed to the bottom of the stairs. After a little while I figured out it was closer to the path and spotted on the way back up. Tftc.

On holidays from Qld and staying close to this series of caches so decided to go on an adventure. TFTC

Great

Great string of catches and an awesome walk. Thank you.

Last in a successful run. Thanks for bringing me here

#gypsynation

Very easy!

Good little cache

Noice

Nice hide

Out and about in the winter sun doing a few caches in this area. A quick find. Thanks for showing us this track as have not been on this part before. TFTC

Found it and completed the Abigail Trail series this afternoon

Lovely area to stroll through
Thanks again for your efforts in hiding these caches

An easy find in the logical spot - nice view too !
Thanks for the cache, TasKanga !

Top find, though we looked too far down
With SMcKenziie

Found by the couponers

More nice trinkets, to go with the nice view, thanks Abigail

The seat didn't make such a comfortable waiting spot whilst awaiting the Mittens to catch up to find the cache too. Abigail Trail complete

Great views! Tftc

Great spot, nice view, and the seat was a bonus

A gorgeous day for a short walk, although a short one because it is so hot.
Tftc!

Another one. TFTC.

A quick find with the family on a lovely day. TFTC

Beautiful walk

Another quick walk and grab while I'm visiting friends in tassie. A great little series. TFTS TFTC

Thanks for the cache. starting at no. 5 working backwards

This was a straight forward find due to the detailed hint. I utilised the provided seat to sign the log.

I decided to do this trail in the early morning before the householders were out and about. And in reverse order! A beautiful peninsula in a beautiful city. I can see why it draws comparisons to Cape Town in South Africa. A quick find. TFTC.

Well back at gz today and once again had trouble being able to safely retrieve this cache. Two female muggles were in having coffee in their garden (and why wouldn’t you on such a perfect day). Their three dogs soon made our presence known. Another muggle was walking nearby with another two dogs that joined in the barking chorus. We moved on and returned 10 minutes later – coast now clear, breathed a sigh of relief, found and returned the cache to its hide. Enjoyed the series very much so thanks Abigail and TasKanga.

Today we found some caches that have been published while we have been away.

A nice stroll around the area. TFTC

Thanks Abigail for hiding the cache the Cheetah loved finding it. I just sat on the chair relaxing .TFTC

After doing the first 4 we came to this one, where a man was doing some gardening. He was very close to GZ so we kept walking and decided to come back. 20 minutes later we were back and quickly found the last cache. Thanks for a great series, Taskanga.

Found the first four and headed for this one only to find a very friendly home-owner (probably the same man NTK encountered) mowing the grass at gz. He stopped to chat and asked if we were local and how often we walked in this area - perhaps he has noticed an increase in 'trail traffic.' Of course we made no attempt to retrieve the cache but we will come back during the week and hopefully complete the series.

Cache zombified.
First of the series to be found. After signing the log had to say hello to a couple of muggle dogs before I could put it back. Cache in good order.

"I used to wander around in circles aimlessly, now I wander around in circles geocaching!"

I started with this one, walking down the right-of-way from the cul-de-sac above.
A dog from the house behind wanted to have a long bark at me, and I just hoped there was noone in the house watching me.
Quick find.
Thanks.

I completed the series this morning, in reverse and in cold conditions with a bit of drizzle. This used to be one of my favourite running tracks - from Cadburys to the caravan park and back. I found the cache easily and sat on the seat for the first time. TFTC.

Well.. didn't have to walk to far here before the Oldsaint crossed our path, Had a good chat with the saint, and he came back to see how long this one took me to find. While Gungii and the saint shared a seat, ignoring the heckling, I found and logged this one. Walking back to the car, we continued our chat, and took in the magnificent day, and the sites of this area. Five caches in the series because you are five years old is the most fantastic logic ever. TFTC TasKanga (and Abigail) and TFTChat Oldsaint.

Today the weather was so lovely for a walk - the water was so calm.... Enjoyed walk along the trail - excellent hide spot. Signed the log. Thanks TasKanga. see pic.

Hi TasKanga
This one was the hardest for me to find - my GPS kept putting me 10m away from the cache but when I found it, the co-ords were perfect. Even though it took some time to find, the place was just incredible for sucking up the sunshine, the scenery and for chatting to an older citizen who made use of the nearby chair. But that YAPPY DOG ...... oh, but that YAPPY dog....
Found and Sainted the cache at 1155hrs.
Was walking away very slowly just enjoying the good feelings and two other 'muggles' approach and said "Aaahhh!" They were not muggles but TX4000 and Gungii out on a caching exercise. They had been following me along the track wondering when our paths would cross. Gungii and I made use of the seat as we watched TX400 search for the cache. He found it a lot faster than I did but we compared GPS readings and it surprised me the difference in the three machines.
It was really good to re-meet both again and to be able to walk back along the track together exchanging caching stories and getting to know each other a little better - great experience; thank you.
TFTC and cheers
OldSaint.

Good hiding spot

Quick find with clue, as GPS was a bit out. Muggles fishing down below too! TFTC

Published

I saw this set of caches published so I left to get the FTF.
I started from number 5 and got the *FTF*.
A lovely walk.

Nice cache easy find with clues TFTC TNLN great views

Spotted the friendly dog at a fence nearby while retrieving this one.. very inquisitive he was too. Great series TasKanga thankyou for bringing me back along this trail. TFTC

A little yappy dog created a bit of unwanted attention so we looked out over the bay and pointed this way and that while the egg signed the log and snuck it back in to place. Thanks for bringing us here, it reinforces what we love about caching, finding new places to explore. TFTC

We had come to Hobart for the birthday of one of our sons. We were less than 2km from these caches when the emails came through. No choice really but to take a short detour and look for these five caches. After the second cache Mr and Mrs y'stassie split up because the ground had become too uneven for the taller of the team. Mrs y'stassie continued on around the point and ran into albydangles at #3. #5 should have been a quick find except that one incorrect digit had been entered into the GPS. Once this error was realised and corrected, again accurate coordinates and the hint led to a quick find of the fifth cache in the series. The cache and contents were in good condition. We enjoyed this series - a pleasant walk around the shoreline. We look forward to the series being extended as Abigail celebrates each of her birthdays!! Thanks for the cache and series Abigail (and TasKanga for helping).
