This spot is one of my favorites as it is a well kept secret unless you are a local.This spot is great for launching a kayak, bird watching, photography, spotting kangaroos and other wildlife, sitting around a fire with mates enjoing a sunset or just sitting and enjoying the tranquility by yourself. Oh yeah...there is also a cache to be found.

"Pictures in a minute!" In the 1950s, '60s, and
'70s, Polaroid was the hottest technology company on Earth. They were an
innovation machine that cranked out one irresistible product after another. It
was even the company after which Steve Jobs is said to have modeled Apple, and
the comparison is true. Jobs's hero, Edwin Land, Polaroid's visionary founder,
turned his 1937 garage startup into a billion-dollar pop-culture phenomenon.
Instant: The Story of Polaroid, a richly illustrated, behind-the-scenes look at
the company, tells the tale of Land's extraordinary and beloved invention. From
the introduction of Polaroid's first instant camera in 1948 to its meteoric rise
and dramatic collapse into bankruptcy in the 2000s, Instant is both a cautionary
tale about tech companies that lose their edge and a remarkable story of
American ingenuity.

The Man Behind the Camera
Edwin Land. From an early age, Land’s fascination with light led him to develop one of the first synthetic polarizers for commercial use in 1929. Shortly thereafter he was inspired by his 3-year-old daughter’s confusion as to why a camera could not instantly produce pictures after they were taken – thus pioneering instant photography. He went on to be the founder of the Polaroid Corporation in 1937 and is best known for developing the world’s first Instant camera, called the Polaroid Land camera.
