Geocache Description:

If the point of a garden is the serenity, then the point of a frying pan is the handle.


This cache is one of two caches hidden either side of idyllic Stewarts Bay, adjacent to my family's favourite camp site on Garden Point. GPS accuracy was pretty ordinary at time of placement for both caches, but as with most of my hides the container is amongst an obvious pile of rocks (hehe).

The cache can be accessed from the camp site, but the recommended way to access this cache would be from the Stewarts Bay car park. This approach will take you on a 40-50 min return walk that is very pleasant, albeit a little rough in parts. From the far end of the beach, follow the track and at the first junction follow the sign to Garden Point to bypass the camp site. At the end of the camp-ground, there's a fairly obvious track. About 10m along this track, look for the smaller track that branches off to the right. It's a bit tricky to follow in places, but it's the easiest way to get to the cache.

The cache is a clear 2 litre container (thanks SG-3!). Original contents: bandaids, sunscreen, a selection of pegs (3 x 175mm, 3 x 22mm), 6mm guy rope with wood runner, mini LED torch key ring, a selection of batteries (3 x AAA, 3 x AA), needle & thread kit, a Tasmanian Devil, a "First to Find - Woohoo!" badge, and a "Second to Find - Boohoo!" badge. You are invited to stick with the camping supplies theme.

Bonus marks for anyone who can predict what I’m likely to forget the next time we’re camping here and leave a spare of it in the cache for me!

NOTE: Lately I’ve been feeling strongly that “the journey is more important than the find” (probably because I haven’t been getting enough finds myself), so could you please avoid the temptation to post a comment such as “I’d love to come back here when I’ve got more time.” You have been warned!
