Geocache Description:


Tasmania boasts many beautiful scenic drives. One of the favourites is the road which ascends from Deloraine, in the north, up the side of the central plateau. Steep climbs, hairpin bends, lush forest and panoramic views make for a pleasant driving experience.

The road is known as the either the Lakes Highway, or the Highland Lakes Road, depending on which map you read. Both are preferable to its other designation, the A5. Beginning from the small town of Deloraine, it traverses lush green farmland before starting its climb - and what a climb! From just 230 metres above sea level, it reaches 1210m at its highest point, which for Australia is a very large altitude gain in a relatively short distance. The vegetation also changes dramatically over the half hour drive, and the drop in temperature is very noticeable if you drive with the windows down.

Once climbing, tight bends force a reduction in speed, which allows a better appreciation of the forest the road passes through.

A small parking spot is available at the GZ but please take care due to passing traffic.

NOTE: There is no need to disturb any delicate vegetation or rocks to locate this cache

Please bring your own pen and you will need some tweezers to extract the log.

There is no room for swaps or trackables.

Please replace the container as you found it so others may enjoy the challenge of this frustrating hide  

Congratulations to: 2y'stassies for their intrepid efforts in claiming another FTF
