THIS CACHE IS NOT AT THE LISTED COORDS!!! Be advised that it is best to check the local tide information and plan on searching for this one at high tide! This is the one of a series of geocaches placed along the Maroochy River.
The trail is designed for small water craft only. History tells us that in 1842, Andrew Petrie explored the coast north of Brisbane and discovered the Mary River with a small party including two Aboriginal men from the Brisbane River region who spoke the Yuggera language. Their name for the local black swan was “Muru-kutchi” or “red-bill”. Petrie hence named the area Maroochy. The geocaches in this series are named after some of the local Scout Leaders who paddle the river on occasion, often accompanied by many Scouts. Near the Parking Area Waypoint, you will find a pontoon were you can launch your canoe or kayak. Alternatively you can continue down the dirt road to the left and use the boat ramp. Please BYO writing instrument.
