Joint FTF @ 11.20 am with Tassie Trekkers. Today we decided to finish off the HEC Derwent Scheme series of caches. We left home knowing we would come across snow as it had snowed heavily in the area on Sunday and Monday. We were not disappointed as snow drifts began appearing as we headed towards Lake Echo on Victoria Valley Road. The roads were slushy and there was snow in the fields, trees and road edges. We had a great day visiting more HEC infrastructure, some we had never seen before. The Hydro history is fascinating and what workers created here is amazing. By the time we got to Butlers Gorge there was hardly any snow. Thanks Budgie for placing caches which drew us to this area. The hint item again was under snow and we were knee deep trying to find GZ. After concentrating on one area for way too long we searched another spot and were very lucky to find the cache. (see photo) TFTC
