We really wanted to share it with you, and have made the caches fairly easily found, as we didn't want to bring you all the way out here and have to go home empty 'cache' handed!
The central highlands can be a moody, foreboding place in inclement weather so please take care and prepare for any type of weather, you never know what you'll get..just another thing we love about this place! We hope enjoy.
All the lakes these caches will take you to are man-made, or natural water catchments dammed to increase their size and it is where the electricity that powers the state is created. We hope to highlight it's course through visits to various lakes and canal systems and show these Hydro created areas can indeed also be lovely places. It is a beautiful area, which has some amazing wildlife. We have seen Wedge Tailed Eagles, Sea Eagles, various other raptors, Devils, both species of Quolls, Wombats, all varieties of wallabies/pademelons etc, Echidnas and of course snakes and lizards, oh and even deer to name a few, not to mention the various coveted fish species lurking in the lakes.
Thanks to HEC Tasmania and Forestry this area is a labyrinth to explore and enjoy. I hope you see the beauty in it as we do, I am an artist (willberech) and these lakes have been my muse for many years, there are hidden gems everywhere waiting to be discovered, and beauty wherever you turn your eye. Unfortunately, of late we have noticed some inconsiderate visitors have been leaving rubbish in their wake, so please be respectful of the environment and bring a bag.
This is the 2nd canal which connects Brady's Lake to Lake Binney. You are at the Binney end of the canal and if you look directly across the lake from the opening of this canal you can just make out where the next canal connects Binney to Tungatinah.
