Geocache Description:

The description for the old cache started with:

So who says you need to spend millions of bucks to be the proud owner of a waterfront with views?
 

Why not just claim it with a cache???


Since mrryanmurray has decided to vacate the property, I felt it was important to provide a replacement that recognised his part in developing Geocaching in the area. What better way than to place a memorial to him and the cache he represented.

And even better to recognise that you can't describe the location any better than he did, copy his description:

Welcome to Lilli Pilli Point.
Lilli Pilli Point is a great secluded little spot to visit for a bit of relaxation. It is located on the Port Hacking River. There are public baths complete with shark netting. At the baths there is also a boat jetty making this area easily accessible by boat. Lots of beautiful houses to admire as well (including the old 1920 home which was the Club house for the Rowwing Club and is now on the Historic Register). You can fish down here, but just not at the baths or surrounding area. Most of the houses are set back from the waterline, so you can explore the waters edge too. The area is accessible by car, but the gates are closed at 2200hrs and not re-opened until 0430hrs. Between these hours you can still get to the cache using other ways of travel.

I have located this cache in a different spot, only to provide a better access.

Again, using mrryammurrays words:

Good luck and have fun.

The use of spoilers:

The introduction of Social media to showcase caching activities is now starting to expand and I can see that over a period of time, more people will get involved and showcase their activities through this medium.

I believe that it takes away the experience that Geocaching offers. Tat for every person undertaking a cache hunt, it should be like they are the first to discover it. It is as much about the journey of finding the cache (working out the puzzle, thinking about where a cache might be hidden etc) as it is about finding the cache and racking up the numbers. Geocaching can take you to some beautiful and completely unexpected places. If someone has seen it on a Social media site, then the experience will no longer be a new experience.

It has been the reason why many people who have hidden caches check their logs regularly and remove spoiler images or logs. Geocaching is a controlled environment where the ownership and presentation is in the hands of the cache owner. The use of social media takes the ownership away from the cache owner and places it in the control of those working to discover the cache and present a story on an external medium. Once it has been presented on Social media, there is nothing a cache owner can do to remove it.

Geocaching is a game that everyone plays in their own way. The way Geocaching is set up means that every time a person finds a cache it is a new experience for them because they find it themselves and comment on their experience as a new finder, hopefully without a spoiler. After viewing a few spoiler reports on Social media and having to take action to remove spoiler activity presented in logs through Geocaching lately, I am requesting that this cache is not used for a Social media presentation. Please respect my request.
