Geocache Description:


 

Welcome to Hobart Airport (HBA)! For many, this terminal is the first and last thing they see of Tasmania. Following the major $200m terminal expansion and the "Watch out for Wildlife" partnership, the airport has become a rotating gallery for incredible local talent.

Instead of rushing for your bags or your gate, take a moment to appreciate the vibrant displays that tell the story of our island’s unique flora, fauna, and heritage.


To Log This Cache

To claim a "Find," you must complete the following two tasks. Please do not post the answer to Task 1 in your public log!

Task 1: The Message

Send me a message or email via my Geocaching profile with the following:

  1. The Title/Subject: "Hobart Airport Art"

  2. Your Favourite Piece: Locate the current featured art display (currently the Endangered Wildlife series by Natalia Bennett or the recent InsideOUT installations). Tell me which specific artwork is your favourite and one detail from the artist's statement or the artwork itself that caught your eye.

Task 2: The Photo (Required)

Upload a photo to your log of yourself or a personal item (like your GPS, a trackable, or a piece of paper with your username) somewhere within the airport terminal.

  • IMPORTANT: To keep the "treasure hunt" alive for others, do not include the artwork itself in your photo. This is a "spoiler-free" zone!
