Geocache Description:

Join other cachers celebrating the true birthday of EarthCaches - 10 January 2014.  Events are being run around the globe.

Saturday, 11th January, 2014 - 9am until Lunchtime.


On the 10th of January 2004 on a headland 3 hrs south of Sydney, Australia the very first EarthCache was 'placed' by Geoaware and his two daughters.  EarthCache I - a simple geology tour of Wasp Head sat for two weeks before it was found by Tankengine.  The first log reads:

Chooo ooo *FTF* The family wanted to go to the beach today, and I thought that was a great idea! They had fun in the sand, and I went off to do the cache. It was great! Just a like exploring around the rock pools, but with a geology lesson thrown in! I’ve seen similar formations in the past, and often wondered how the heck they got to be like that, but here all was explained! Fantastic! The only minor difficulty was the initial access from the beach to the rocks, but after that it was easy going. (I think it was high tide).

Excellent cache thanks geoaware – now I’m looking forward to more…

 

The 10th Birthday is actually on the 10th, and I thought I would like an event at this park (which has 2 earthcaches in it) .

The only issue is that BREC hours are from sunrise to sunset, so I had to make it happen on a Saturday.

The Date of the event will be: 

Saturday, 11th January, 2014 - 9am until Lunchtime.

 

bring a chair or two due to the lack of available seating!
