Geocache Description:

Congratulations on your trek. When facing the ocean view, look to the right for a large rock. The cache is under a rock behind this rock. It is a black bison tube wrapped in plastic.

Angus actually hiked the Mt Donaldson track to hide this cache.

The Mt Donaldson walk is one of the best in the Tarkine offering about twenty minutes of rainforest walking and twenty minute of eucalypt forest walking.  The track then opens to button grass plains with magnificent and ever improving views of the area including a number of views of the Pieman River and the Great Southern Ocean.  The grade is easy to moderate and consistent.  The track is well made with a few short wet or boggy stretches.  In summer on a fine day, it can be very hot as the button grass plain is very exposed with no shelter.  Please carry water and use sun protection.  If you are caching from September to May between 10am and 2.30pm, you may well see the Arcadia II on the Pieman River.  It leaves Corinna at 10am and leaves to return from Pieman Heads at 1pm.

The Angus visits series. Angus has been busy visiting all sorts of locations. You may like to set the goal of finding all of Angus’ visits, so, for your convenience, there is a continually updated list in the Description of Angus visits Port Sorell [GC91B1R]. The Angus story: Angus was my first West Highland White Terrier. He was my buddy, my navigator and my little man. He came to me when I retired and hit the road in my motor home [Mylittlebus] in 2006. He travelled all around Australia. Meeting new people every day, he was very social and loved nothing more than poking his nose into other motorhomes and caravans. Beaches were his favourite walks. He was joined by Maggie in 2016 but bonded more closely with the third addition, Mollie, six months later. Mollie was Angus' shadow. He taught her everything - how to 'come', how to 'stay', how to swim, how to navigate and much more. To this day, due to Angus' lessons, Mollie is better behaved than her older sister Maggie. Angus had the unique canine experience of having visited EVERY town in Tasmania in 2016/17. There is a hard cover photographic coffee table book “Every Town in Tassie’ in many Tasmanian and mainland homes. We tragically lost Angus at age 12 at Opossum Bay on South Arm in southern Tasmania. We miss Angus every day but he lives on in our geocaching adventures. Maggie, Mollie and I are now based in Latrobe but still travel and maintain our travel page on Facebook - TASMANIA ALL OVER.
