Geocache Description:

Entropy -- Nature tends from order into disorder.  So many things flowing down and away.  The water, the mountains, even the harbour itself are all constantly seeking the lowest potential.  Mountains turning into boulders, boulders breaking down into rocks, rocks grinding down into sand and my bones turning into dust (starting with my knees).  Wind, water, waves—it’s all happening right here at Waterfall Bay—it’s happening everywhere.

Entropy will be maximised but it is up to you to seek your own lowest potential (words no motivational speaker will ever say).  Start at the top and carefully work your way down to Waterfall Bay.  Keep looking back and memorize the look of where you came from.  You will need to get home somehow.  A boat might work too.
 
This is a multiple hazard, off-the-map  trek.  You have tides and waves to work around, cliffs, drops, holes, loose rock and slippery footing to manage.  Top it off with an angry seal colony (depending on your approach) and you have biological hazards to deal with.

The cache is a 1 l Sistema container.  Please do not crush on replacement to avoid increasing entropy.
