Geocache Description:

Lindisfarne Section of the Clarence Foreshore Trail, this part is from ANZAC Park to the Tasman Bridge. http://www.ccc.tas.gov.au/page.aspx?u=1219

 Ok this spot will put you just out of sight from the trail. Slip behind the bush and near the corner north side of the green box, you are looking for a garden sprinkler next to the wall.

Lindisfarne is thought to have been named by Hezekiah Harrison, a free settler, who was granted land here in 1823. Harrison had lived just a few miles from Lindisfarne Island, on the Northumbrian coast. Known as the 'Holy Island', Lindisfarne was the base from which St Aidan worked to spread the Christian faith through the north of England in the eighth century AD. However, a strange coincidence makes it unclear whether the area was named by Harrison or the next owner, Thomas George Gregson, a prominent free settler who purchased much of the land between Risdon and Rosny. Gregson, who would later become Premier of Tasmania, grew up in Lowlynn, very close to Lindisfarne Island. We may never know which of these two men bestowed the name Lindisfarne.
