They often say life is about the journey, not the destination; but with geocaching, we say it’s both! With over 3 million geocaches around the world. The adventure begins with navigating to the geocache location, then there’s the big “ah-ha!” moment when you find the geocache! The journey doesn’t end there though, so we’re listing out five steps we recommend once you’ve made a find. Are you completing all five?
- Sign the logbook in the geocache. You should always carry a pen/pencil. Every Physical geocache has got a log and it’s just as important to sign the physical log as it is to post your log in the Geocaching® app. Signing the geocache log validates your visit! If you don't sign, then post a note till you return.
- Scenic view? Fun trail? Group shot? Take a photo to include with your log! Photos can be uploaded to your log right from the app. However NEVER add a spoiler. The next person should have the same experience.
- Log your find in the Geocaching® app! If you’re not logging your find in the field, save it as a draft and include a few notes about your journey to the geocache that you can use to jog your memory later. Remember to NOT include spoiler comments in your log!
- Give it a Favorite point! Premium members can award Favorite points to w-o-w geocaches to let other cachers know it’s something special.
- Place the geocache back where you found it so the next cacher can experience the same finders-joy! Remember to respect your surroundings, whether that’s flora, fauna, or others around enjoying the outdoors.
- Read the description, it is intended to provide information about the site and might include a hint.
Over the road is Sydney's only beach with a train station. Down by the bay is the ferry wharf to Bundeena. The station is unusual in that the two platforms are situated end to end, rather than side by side making it the second longest platform in NSW, after Albury.
This is also a great chance to check out the ferry wharf to plan your visit to Bundeena Maianbar to have a go at the Hidden Pathways Series set up by club_bindi.

Cronulla Bundeena Ferry - M.V. Curranulla was designed and built by the well-known shipbuilders Morrison and Sinclair of Balmain, Sydney for the Cronulla ferry service owned by Captain Robert Ryall. The "Curranulla" was purpose built for the shallow and rough water of Port Hacking with a 3'6" of draft. The 53' timber ferry was constructed of carvel planking with clenched nails and was powered by a 66-horse power 3-cylinder K3 hand start Kelvin diesel giving a top speed of seven knots. She was commissioned on the 12th May 1939 for the Cronulla to Bundeena ferry run and her engine was converted to a 5LW Gardner in 1986. The "Curranulla" is now the oldest commuter ferry in Australia working to a regular timetable providing an hourly ferry service between Cronulla and Bundeena.
