North Stonor Highway 1 (Tasmania) Oatlands, Tasmania, Australia
By Tas_Geo on 14-Sep-24. Waypoint GCARZZ0

Today we are moving from Oatlands to Chauncy in our home on wheels. I am stopping at as many of the new Highway caches as I can between the 2 locations.This one was a nice quick find of a now familiar style of hide. TFTC ??

As we had an unexpected trip south today, we took the opportunity to look for caches in the recently published Highway 1 series. Today we looked for the caches as we headed south - tomorrow we will look for caches on the other side of the highway as we head north.This is an excellent series with well designed caches placed thoughtfully and with safe parking very close by. There were some interesting cache containers, with one particular style we hadn't seen previously - a great design used in a number of hides. Unless stated otherwise, coordinates were accurate (within 5m) and the caches were in good condition.The CO's, quite rightly, have included a very important warning about walking from one side of the highway to the other. It would be remiss of us not to add another. *In some places there are U-turn bays which allow safe access to a cache on the other side of the highway. However, once on the other side, the same access cannot be used safely nor legally to return to the original direction of travel - instead backtracking in the direction opposite of your intended travel is necessary before resuming your original direction of travel.* If possible, the caches are best tackled by looking for those on the side of the road you are travelling, not the other side of the highway. Today we travelled south and were able to find 17 without crossing the highway. We will look for the other 16 tomorrow as we travel north.**Another of the novel style of container.**Thanks Tas_Geo for this cache and the very enjoyable series.

Thanks Tas_Geo for placing North Stonor Highway 1 (Tasmania). Swampy and I headed back to plunder more of the Northern coast over the Hobart Show long weekend. 4 day long weekend for 1 days annual leave. Sweet. This is day 5. We are heading for Hobart, as slowly as possible. . At least my log is not full of bad 80s references. This run has us finding both GC and GCA caches. So many caches, so little time. This is my GC find #2271 and was found on 28/10/2024 at 12:34FTF: Found with: selfWeather: fairMuggles: noneLight level: goodCache condition: goodDistance from GZ: Your cache was visited by my trackables: TB9QQD2, TB9KZ39 and TB7HH81

A new series of caches on the Midland Highway published in the week before I was heading north for the 'Hobart Show Day' long weekend - nice one.Today we were heading home after a lovely weekend on the northwest coast and collecting all the 'southbound' caches.Gradually making our way home, this was another short stop with a quick find.

**FTF** @1:50pmBeing such a nice day we decided to go for a casual drive along the Midland Highway with our grandson. He was very excited to find some treasure. We had this newly published series in mind but sometimes we had to wait for our return journey to grab some of them.Once again we grabbed this one on our way back! Lady membsec started looking on the wrong side until the gps finally heading her in the correct direction. Another well constructed container and hide.TFTC
