Thanks for the Trig, found whilst out and about this afternoon with AlbyDangles.
Quite a cold wind, but excellent company, then cake and coffee.
What more does one need?
Nice views, I have water-skied down below here.
Thanks for the adventure.
Cheers, EPs.

During the week Trimbletas and i made the decision that we would target some of the caches around the New Norfolk and Geilston Bay area. we planned to go up over the Highland lakes to Hamilton, then down to New Norfolk then over to Geilston Bay. Up bright and early we left the NorthWest at 6.00am as we approached the top of lakes highway we were greeted with around 4 inches of snow on the road, so it was into 4x4 and steadily along until we dropped down onto lake level. we detoured to grab the Bridge over Ouse cache then it was off to Hamilton.
We did a maintenance check of my caches along the way and they were all in great order still.
Arriving in Hamilton we snapped a photo of the trig then headed for New Norfolk where we took a short walk to the trig there, it was then onto the Battleship GeoArt series.
while completing the Battleship caches we were stopped by 4 different property owners concerned with what we were doing. we explained to them what were doing but they still seemed concerned. there was a few caches where we couldnt get off the road and cars came up behind us while we were signing the logs, so we had to try and move the ute out of the way.
After completing the battleship series we made our way through Molesworth and into Berridale where we crossed the Derwent River and headed for Natone Hill.
We got the information for WPT 1 of the Multi and set off in a clockwise direction of the reserve to complete the Smile and Blockage GeoArts, we got as far round as the trigpoint when it started to pour down with rain we got drenched as we bunkered under a tree to wait out the rain, as the rain eased we grabbed the photo of the trig then off to complete the rest of the caches. we got the rest of the info required for the Multi cache but as it was back where we came from we decide to leave it for next time. We really enjoyed completing the Blockage and Smile Geoarts. Thank you SSR and Goose&Egg.
After getting back to the ute and trying to dry out we decide to go check out where the Circle Geoart starts, once there we decided that we would complete it next time as it was getting dark.
A quick drive around to Government hill where we walked up to grab the trigs where we were met by another concerned owner, explained we were there to get a photo of the trig and he was happy to see us on our way.
We then headed for food at Bridgewater before our long journey home.
we stopped to complete several caches along the way and arrived home at 9.30pm. A great day was had with nearly 100 caches attempted for the day. TFTC

Nice walk to log this trig today. The view from the top was pretty good.

Well at long last I get round to logging this cache

Logged it yesterday from the app but looks to have failed

after a trip into Adamsfield I tried to collect a cache or two on the way home and this was the only one to be claimed.

Walked in from below on a freezing morning. Top views up here...tftc....cheers ST.

Walked from the caravan park along the track and up the steps to this one. Mr Beetle contemplated coming with me on the bike but that would have been a waste of time as the steps are reached after only about 150 metres!!!
Pretty sure we could have driven to this one too but I guess the walk didn't hurt me.
Noticed the 2 nearby markers first but their coordinates didn't match up so had to look further to find the actual trig marker.
Thanks.

Top place to visit. Great views from here.

Found while out doing kilometres with the daughter

A very scenic walk to the cache, a well placed bench seat and an interpretive sign relating to the historic significance of the area all contributed to a good caching experience. Thanks for the Trig.

Easy to access trig with beautiful views of the river.

A quick walk to GZ in the heat. Located correct spot and required snap taken. Coords very accurate, once I left 2 other red markers alone.

Updated cords sorry for the error

We were able to make a quick find of the survey marker despite our GPS indicating that we were about 7.9m from the published coordinates. There were very pleasant views along the river during our visit, the reflections being particularly beautiful. The required photo has been added to the Gallery.

I'll log as found now others have found it.

Found at 0845hrs.
Great walk to and from the cache. Views were tremendous today.
Got in early before the crowd for the Derwent Valley Festival arrived.
Some were arriving just as I got back to the car.
TFTC and cheers
