Geocache Description:


Enjoy a gentle stroll, cycle or drive around Shornecliffe on the shores of northern Moreton Bay. All petrocks are located in parkland or alongside formed trails or tracks. This cache is geokid and geohound friendly with plenty of picnic and other facilities along the way. Shornecliffe and Sandgate railway stations are centrally located to all the locations involved in this cache.

The above coordinates are only an indication of the general area you need to visit to figure out the full coordinates of the real cache. Stealth will be required in some locations.

At each location you are looking for one of my petrock ambassadors. There are actually two petrocks at each location within a couple of metres of each other, but you only need to find one. Each petrock found will tell you its name and age. When you have enough names and ages you should be able to find where the Petrock cache is hiding.

At no stage should you be climbing over any fences or scaling cliffs. Petrocks should be fairly easy to locate in obvious nooks and crannies in rock walls, behind trees and amongst tree roots, etc. Look for clues in the waypoint listings. Please replace them where found and so they are not too obvious to casual passerbys.

You will find petrocks hiding at these locations. The order in which you visit each location is not important.
