The cache originally was our entry to the “Dash for Cache '05” game and was supposed to be difficult to find, however due to the final WPT being removed a couple of times and the difficulty that some cachers have had with the calculations, we have decided to make it a little easier and have broken up the 3 WPT's into separate caches.
Around this final location, you used to be able to drive your vehicle along the beach up until around 1994 when the shire council put a stop to it due to ning nongs hooning up and down the beach. It was probably the closest beach to Melbourne where you could drive onto a beach. We remember the first time we attempted to drive along this beach with our GQ Patrol in 1992. There were no other vehicles on the beach that we could see and we had never attempted anything like this before so we were quite hesitant at “diving” in. People were looking at us as we just sat in our vehicle on the concrete ramp watching the waves come in, trying to raise some courage. Then we heard a faint “putt, putt, putt” in the distance which became louder and louder every second. Suddenly from the beach on the other side of the rocks appeared a restored 1914 Model T Ford with two inch wide wheels which just breezed past us up the ramp and down the road. We felt quite silly sitting there in our modern 4wd with a 4.2 litre engine and big fat sand tyres – so with no further ado we headed off to the applause of the spectators.
Now back to the cache which is hidden in an area where it may be associated with a popular vodka drink. This may be cryptic, but it should become obvious if you are in the right area. The satellite reception was very poor in this location so you may have to project where you want to search from a distance.
