Geocache Description:

A favourite spot of mine for snorkeling.  Great for geokids but no pets allowed.  There is parking nearby with steep stairs leading to ground zero.  Only accessible during daylight hours.


Bushrangers Bay is an aquatic reserve located at the eastern end of Bass Point Reserve.

The bay is well known as a top diving and snorkelling location due to its sheltered position. The bay is three hectares in size extending from the mean high water mark to the seabed on the outer boundary.

As this is an aquatic reserve for plant and animal species, divers are requested to take care when touching soft corals as they break off easily. Within the reserve you cannot fish or destroy marine life. You are not permitted to collect dead or alive marine organisms, this includes empty shells.

One of the most striking features within the reserve is a cliff shaped like an amphitheatre in 10 metres of water, the cliffs are six metres high with hundreds of small cavities which are home to sea urchins and tropical fish.

Gates at the entrance are open 6:30 am to 6:00 pm in winter, and 6:30 am to 8:00 pm in daylight savings.
