Now a simple offset cache along the edge of the estuary at the end of the road in a lovely beach community. Don't tell anyone it's here. I thought a cache would share it with just a few of my closest friends.
Tucked away in an old giant that belongs in a beach setting.
Bring the togs, kayaks, picnic, etc . . . if this is part of a big caching day, make this one when you're ready for a little break and maybe a swim.
NOTE: Because of council maintenance and improvements, the original GZ was very exposed, so I've moved the cache.
Stand at the given coordinates with your back to the sea. Then behind the boats and along the edge of the estuary.
You'll notice some large trees which would allow the cache to stay above high tide level, even during a normal king tide. I'd describe the yachts resting nearby, but who's to say they'll still be there.
Check recent photos for hints, especially the one I uploaded 1 May 2025.
If you can offere more accurate coordinates let me know. I'll update the listing.
If the cache was in a nest... guarded by a quiet giant?
Check the tides as this area is more fun with an incoming or high tide.
Toilets are handy and usually clean.
