The South Esk Trail is one of the many trails that can be walked and enjoyed in the Trevallyn Recreational Area.
The South Esk River starts in the mountains near Fingal flowing through Avoca, Evandale, Longford, Hadspen and finally Launceston. The river is dammed at Trevallyn Dam and used for the city's Hydro Electricity scheme. Although most of the water is dammed at Lake Trevallyn, some flows on into the Cataract Gorge where it becomes a tributary to the Tamar River, and the outflow from the power station also joins the Tamar River downstream at the Tailrace in Riverside. The river is constantly subject to flooding and overflows at Lake Trevallyn cause a scenic display of rapids gushing through the Gorge. The cache is placed nearby a spot on the path that gives sweeping views of the South Esk. Take the time to stop and enjoy as you return the way you have come after finding the cache.
Please note that the boom gates close at sunset so there is no vehicular access to the GZ area during the darkened hours.
The cache is a small screwtop container with log and pencil.
