Sixpence Cave

 Sixpence Cave

This walk starts from Halls Saddle on Huon Road, it follows the pipeline towards Waterworks Reserve but we turn off at McDermotts Farm and head towards Ridgeway before dropping down to McDermotts Farm again and returning along the pipeline. 

Turnip Fields (such a charming name for a settlement)

The pipeline evident below its stonework

What are they looking at?

Oh, this.

Poor Mr. McDermott

The view over Hobart to Kangaroo Bay

Looking through the trees to Waterworks Reserve

The scramble up to the cave

Various degrees of elegance
