According to WIKIPEDIA, in geology terms, beach swales are long, narrow, usually shallow troughs between the foredune and the secondary dune between ridges on a beach, running parallel to the coastline. The swale here grows lots of sea rushes and is a lovely spot for moisture for the native animals. If you are very quiet and come at the right time of day you might spot a Bandicoot, a Potaroo, maybe a Ringtail Possum or see a Swamp Wallaby.
Sadly, many of the information signs, that were once dotted along these walking tracks, have been vandalised. There is still evidence of their existance but they are mostly unreadable.
You have a few options of accessing this cache. Option One is to park at S 37° 52.184′ E 148° 01.796 and follow the track through to Lake Bunga. This track will take you between the Water Recycling Plant and the Fourteenth Fairway of the Lakes Entrance Golf Course. If there are no golfers about you could walk off the pathway and up onto the fifteenth tee to see the signature hole of the Golf Club with its spectacular view. Back on the track, turn right after approximately 800m onto the clearly marked Nature Trail, and after a short walk, turn into a smaller track off to your right. You are now on a rather overgrown interpretive walk of the vegetation and the wildlife of the sand dunes. You will walk through Tea-Tree thickets growing on grey sandy soil, past Manna Gums, Saw Banksia and Coast Banksia.
Option 2: Park at Lake Bunga at S 37° 52.055 E 148° 02.685 (there is a toilet at this parking area) and follow the track around to the cache. Keep your eyes open for the different flora and fauna of the area.
Other Options: You can walk or cycle from town - just watch out for those hidden tree roots and some of the overhead branches on the walking tracks near GZ. Walk along the beach - start at either the Main Beach (over the Footbridge) or Eastern Beach (behind the L.E. Golf Course) and follow the Ocean to Lake Bunga Beach.
During the warmer months, keep your eyes open for the creatures that slither.
At Ground Zero: You are looking for a 400 ml Sistema container, now only slightly camo'd, and you will need to BYO Pen. Please rehide the container with the lid to the top. Enjoy the sights and sounds of the Swale while sitting on the a seat little further along the track. As I was undertaking maintenance, frogs were singing and dragonflies were buzzing at GZ. The waves were also crashing hard, sounding rather loud and angry. Sit for a while and enjoy the peacefulness of the area. In terms of muggle visitors, it was very quiet, and there were different types of very small lizards/skinks out playing too.
Please take the time to walk further along the track to find the seat and enjoy the views of the Swale. If you sit quietly, you will hear a mirad of beautiful animal noises. (Co-ords for seat: S 0370 52.107 E 1480 02.581)
If you have time, explore the Lake Bunga beach and lake - if it's hot - go for a swim (this beach is not patrolled reguarly - swim at own risk)
