PTPT Cheeseberry Traditional Cache
Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions

This is the eighteenth cache in the PTPT series.
Cheeseberry is the common name for the Tasmanian endemic plant, Cyathodes glauca. This cache was named for it for four reasons: firstly, there are Cheesberry bushes growing within a few metres of the cache site; secondly, the originator of this Power Trail was Cheesy Pigs (so it is berry appropriate); thirdly, it grows only in Tasmania (I took my caching name from another Tasmanian endemic, the Climbing Heath, Prionotes cerinthoides) and, finally, it seemed like a good idea at the time.
GPS reception was tricky at this site. Readings from two receivers gave southings ranging from S42 56.154 to S42 56.147 and the eastings ranged from E147 12.972 to E147 12.950 but the general average was S42 56.151 and E147 12.967. Because of this variation a specific location description is given with no additional hints.
As you approach ground zero there is a shallow concrete spoon drain - this is ten paces before the cache. Sixteen paces after you have passed ground zero there are some abandoned rails from the old tramway on the lower side of the track. The cache itself is under a small rock at the very base of a medium-sized stringybark tree (Eucalytus obliqua) on the top side of the track.
