This cache is in Belmore Basin and is only accessible by canoe or I suppose you can swim if you want. The cache is a little bit easier if you do it at high tide. The cache is a small plastic bottle which can only hold the logbook and a small trackable. Please bring your own pen because the cache is too small to hold a pen. Please do not write your names in the logbook while you are in the water, just take the cache to the beach so the logbook does not get wet please.
Here is some history about where the cache is located: The original inner harbour completed by a convict workforce in 1844 required further improvements during the 1860's and 1880's in order to accommodate the rapid increase in shipping trade. To meet the growing demand for ship loading facilities a tee-shaped jetty was built from the central spur in 1880. A steam driven crane operated from the end of a railway running along the jetty. Demolished in the 1920's, the jetty's only remains are the crane's iron and concrete base seen jutting from the harbour directly forward from this position. Still to be seen within the western wall of the Central Spur is the slip way once used in launching the Harbour Pilot's life boat.
