You can park opposite the end of Fifth Avenue to find this cache. Alternately, park at the steps to Kerbys beach, walk along the sand one hundred metres or so and then disappear behind the dunes! Head South after your find for a walk around the headland to visit the cache's original site.
You may want to pick up a SWRD on your way, just in case.
The cache is a white, twist-top tub about 15cm in diameter and 20cm tall. Contains log and small swaps.
---------------------------------
Cache was repositioned due to restrictions for geocaches in National Parks. Below is the info for the original site - please take a walk around the headland and visit this beautiful pool nonetheless - it's definitely worth the stroll. Co-ordinates for the Mermaids Pool are about S 35° 13.150 E 150° 32.420.
Take a walk along Berrara Beach to visit the Mermaid's Pool to find our first cache. It's an easy walk along a flat beach, especially lovely at low tide. 3km round trip.
Men have searched for mermaids - also known as silkies, selkies, or selchies - for as long as the tales of them have existed. Now it's your turn to search for our Silkie. Where better to look than at the Mermaid's pool?
Walk down at low tide and stay to take a dip in the beautiful deep rock pool at your destination. Can you see which shallow pool is the mermaid?
This was one of Eyespiral's favourite places to visit as a child (and it still is now). Just don't let the geokids try to climb the old rock slide.
