The listed coordinates take you to where you can follow the footsteps of Charles Darwin when he visited Hobart on the HMS Beagle in 1836. There are Interpretive signs along the trail which are based on the notes and observations Darwin made during his day excursion on Hobart’s eastern shore. The coastal section of the track, between Bellerive and Howrah, is reasonably flat and mostly concrete with gently slopes over the Bellerive Bluff and Second Bluff. From Howrah Beach to Waverly Flora Park there are stencils marked on the footpaths to assist with navigation. The track through Waverly Flora Park is gravel and has some steeper sections, but the walk is worthwhile.

The mission in the Adventure Lab Cache is as follows:
"The Bellerive community wants to recover some lost materials to enable it to complete the history of the area. They know that a time capsule was placed in a secret location but those who knew its location have now deceased. It is thought that the capsule contains some information on aboriginals, bushrangers, re-settled Norfolk Islanders and some of the now-archived geocaches originally located in the area.
In the Adventure Lab, we meet EDWARD (TED) GARD who is a highly regarded member of the community. Ted has spent much of his retirement investigating the development of Bellerive from the early days of the settlement of Hobart Town. He wants to see the return of the Ferry Service in his lifetime.
Ted is motivated by a concept he came across in his research; “I wish everyone would write only about what he knows…A man may well have a detailed knowledge or experience of the nature of one particular river or stream, yet about all the others he knows only what everyone else does: but in order to trot out his little scrap of knowledge he will write a book on the whole of physics!"
Recently he thinks that he may have stumbled on some clues to the location of the capsule.
Ted really wants you to use your geocaching detective skills to seek out the mystery of the missing time capsule. He thinks it will only take you between 1 and 1.30 hours depending on if you walk or drive. The 5 locations in the "Adventure Lab" can be visited in any order but be aware that “The Bellerive Fort” can only be accessed during daylight hours.
