nicksmyname: This one has dissapeared a few times so I am happy to give this spot up to TheCashCows who seem to have something in mind for it. Still a lovely spot and worth visiting.

Geocache Description:

A straightforward Micro hunt in a little-known park in Oyster Bay with panoramic views of the St George's river including Como bridge, right up the river to Oatley Park and nearby to the mangroves of Coronation Bay.  Arrive by car, by foot from Como Station or by Kayak!


Green Point is a small local park in the Suburb of Oyster Bay.

It can be accessed by road via Green Point Road.

It's a very pleasant walk from Como Station (A track leads from the Northern End of Carina Bay Reserve, via Green Point Reserve (take the left hand branch; don't go up the hill) to the end of Green Point Road which you can follow around to the park. On the way back to Como, why not take the high road and you may pass the Oyster Bay Observatory.

Last and best of all it can be easily accessed by Kayak. You will need to get out of your Kayak, but the GZ is only a short distance from the shore. Launch your boat from Como Marina, and visit some of the surrounding river-based Caches while you are there.

The park has no real facilities, but plenty of space to enjoy and plenty of shade from a nice central tree.

The views of the surrounding river are however what makes this park special.

Look across the river to Neverfail bay (and the Buckleberry Ferry cache), up the river to Como Bridge and a distant glimpse of Oatley Park (and maybe the Take A Peak cache), around to the river mangroves (which may contain the On Yer Boat 2 cache),  see Oatley Pleasure Grounds (and the start of the Grounds for Pleasure cache) and look down the river to Oatley Point Reserve (and the Aladdin's Cave cache).

Unfortunately the remoteness of the park has apparently made it an occasional spot for a few drinks and not everyone cleans up after themselves (Oy, please Stop It!), so practice Cache In Trash Out and help keep this spot clean.
