Tasmania: The Apple Isle
TTAI – Tasmania: The Apple Isle is a series of puzzle caches situated east of the historic township of Oatlands. There are 60 puzzle caches in total involved in making a shape of an apple. The puzzles are fairly easy, and the containers are a collection of mainly eclipse tins and bison tubes, although a number of other hides exist as well.
Tasmania was known as the apple isle. There were two schools of thought regarding the reason. The first is that Tasmania is basically shaped as an apple. The second is Tasmania was one of world’s largest apple producers. Apple’s are still grown in large numbers, but agriculture has diversified over the past 20 years (http://tourtasmania.com/tasfaq/economy/apple.html)
Tasmania’s apple industry has been reduced to 50 – 60 apple growing families, with the industry worth $40-$50 million dollars per annum. Tasmania still produces over 55,000 Tonnes of apples each year. Further information can be found at http://www.aussieapples.com.au/growing-regions/tasmania.aspx
The pattern of the TTAI puzzles is simple. Refer to the Cache Map that is attached to cache 60 for the sequence for solving caches and how to find the coordinates for the final cache TTAI 60. This cache is the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.
Final coordinates are now in as a waypoint. Puzzle may not give the same answer but left for historical purposes
Puzzle : She’ll be Apples
Apple were a British psychedelic rock band. The band was founded in Cardiff in 1968. They released a single LP in 1969, titled “An Apple a Day”.
The album was a commercial failure, and the band ceased to exist shortly after its release. However, during the subsequent years several tracks from the LP, most notably "The Otherside" by Harrad, were dubbed classics of British psychedelic rock by critics, making An Apple a Day one of the most sought-after British psychedelic rarities.

The album “An Apple a Day” is a fine mixture of piano based psych pop / psychedelic and heavier R&B / garage songs.
