It will help you to read the DESCRIPTION below, just once, for this series.
Applicable to ANGUS: RHS. A rocky hide.
Angus visits Latrobe is the first of a series of caches to encourage the fabulous riverside walk, along the Mersey River and parallel to River Road, between Latrobe and Ambleside [Devonport] in Tasmania's beautiful central north. With plenty of parking at the Latrobe end in the area of the Axeman's Hall of Fame, this is a dog friendly walk especially as there is no wildlife to speak of hence no being pulled frantically into the bush by GeoDog. There are a number of unrelated caches prior to the beginning of this series as well as a number on Pig Island which is a fabulous dog off leash area on the other side of the river via a footbridge. The caches are a mix of bison tubes, mint tins and 200ml systema containers and one 400mil container. They are all quite near the walking track with no need for bush bashing. RHS's abnd LHS's are applicable when walking from Latrobe to Ambleside. As the challenge is to eventually complete the entire series, I have not made them especially tricky.
The challenge is to walk this track but several caches are available from the adjacent and parallel road. CAUTION. This is a busy and winding road and care should be taken to only park totally off road.
The Angus story:
This series is dedicated to the memory of Angus. He 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 states of Australia. Meeting new people every day, he was very social and loved nothing but poking 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 six months later - Mollie. 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. 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. We now live in Latrobe and maintain a travel page on facebook - TASMANIA ALL OVER.
I hope you enjoy the Series.
