The cache is in a 1 Litre sistema container hidden in an area close to some steep cliffs. There is however no need to go beyond the fenced area to retrieve this cache but keep an eye on the kiddies just in case.
South of Ulladulla harbour is the South Pacific Heathland Reserve which has a walking track with information panels relating to the park's flora - mostly waratahs and trigger plants. There is a viewing platform to observe the birds, including yellow-tailed black cockatoos and New England honeyeaters - and a vantage point with a view of the coastline. At low tide it is possible to walk north along the beach and around the promontory to Warden Head Lighthouse which was built in Ulladulla in 1873 and re-erected at the present site in 1889. Made of iron and designed by a contemporary colonial architect the original optical apparatus is intact and still in operation. Fishing off the nearby rocks is excellent and there are good views of the harbour and surrounds.
The Coomee Nulunga Cultural Trail commences opposite the Lighthouse Oval carpark off Deering St, just past the 4-metre Aboriginal figure (Bulan). This lovely walk was created by the local Aboriginal Land Council from a land grant. At this stage Part 1 is complete and a further stage of development planned, which will cover the rest of the headland, both north and south. Stage one (700 m) takes you through low scrub down to Renny Beach; the last section of the walk winding in the manner of the Rainbow Serpent, the creator in Aboriginal dreamtime. Along the way are detailed, hand-painted and carved information posts which incorporate the names of local plants and animals. There is a small bridge across a creek and a viewing platform facing the sea. The best times for the walk are dawn and dusk as the animal life is at its most active. Visitors are requested to stay on the main trail for the protection of the flora and fauna and themselves (from snakes etc).
