Derwent Valley Trail #1 Bryn Estyn. Traditional Cache

Welcome to New Norfolk, in this series you will learn a little about the surrounding areas of our town. These caches will take you in a loop around the upper Derwent Valley, and back to New Norfolk via both sides of the river. Show casing some of the highlights from the very old to the not so old. 13 lucky (or un) caches will lead you to a final cache. All caches have been placed at the safest points possible, and where possible away from any muggle activity.

Derwent Valley Trail #1 Bryn Estyn.

The treatment plant at Bryn Estyn, treats 150 mega litres per day. That equals 150 Olympic swimming pools per day! They treat the water from the Derwent River, which is the largest river in Tasmania, and supply 60% of all water for the Hobart area, as far as Kingston. 60% of Hobart’s water only takes 0.01% of the Derwent’s catchment a year. That is one big river!

Did you know it costs $1.5 million a year worth of power to push water all the way to homes around Hobart.
