Geocache Description:

My caches are named after songs by a singer/songwriter/musician I really admire ~ Neil Young. With over 55 albums since the late 60's he remains significant today in music, renewable energies, environmental issues, supporting those less fortunate and other charitable causes. In October 2015 he is touring with a new band that includes two of Willie Nelson's boys, U.S.A.


Midnight On The Bay


Midnight On The Bay is #11 in the series. I was shopping this morning in the basking Sydney sunshine (3rd October and 32 degrees after a freezing winter) and walked past this place and thought OK I must put a Cache there and see how long it lasts

This is a song about winding down and relaxing. Here is a verse;

  • It's midnight on the bay
  • And lights are shinin'
  • And the sailboats sway
  • And that cool ocean breeze
  • Blowin' down through the keys
  • I think I'll call it a day
  • Oh, midnight on the bay
  • Sure feels good to me.

This a simple cache having a log and a coin. The hint is in the verse and in bold. If you find it (!) be gentle and observant.

This cache takes you to North Rocks Shopping centre - a quaint little place where they do great Kebabs and great Sushi. Plenty of parking.

Cache Amusements - please leave;

  • A One Euro Cent Coin "like a coin that won't get tossed rolling home to you" - Flip it and let me know heads or tails !
