Geocache Description:

So this is the spot where my Wife and I were married - in 2008, when there was a stunning beach at this very location. Now, however, no more.


The 3rd in a series of caches (or 'treasures' as they're called by our 4 year old little boy) that were all made up by him (with a little assistance from Dad).

For a short period of time, there was a stunning beach in front of this GC and that was where my wife and I were married in April 2008 - we were married on a beach that only existed temporarily and is now no more.!

The tidal lagoon is incredible in that it keeps changing with the mouth constantly on the move - all the way left, then right, then every 100 years or so, a storm to shake things up and reset the system. Such an event actually occured in about 2005 with two mouths being open to the sea for about 2 years until the one by the hotel eventually closed up and lookout beach started to return. With this mouth closure and return of lookout beach, the 'new' beaches formed on the banks of the lagoon, immediately after the storm, were slowly 'eaten up' with the sand being redistributed back onto lookout beach.

Our little boy started geocaching with us at the age of 3 in Dec 2014 and absolutely loves it, especially the GC's large enough to have lots of goodies to look through. He's now almost as good as us at finding GC's that are within his reach/height.!

Accordingly, he was very excited to hit the shops to buy goodies, bottles, notepads, pencils, etc and to pack his 'treasures' ready for deployment.

We discussed this hiding place with him (and explained the relevance of the location) and agreed where the GC should go. He hid it for other kids (& adults) to enjoy finding, opening, looking through, trading and enjoying.

This is a small / medium GC, well disguised and hidden behind an object. Not meant to be a difficult find nor is the terrain challenging. Note that my GPS had 3m accuracy at all reading times. You can park right next to it but please beware of the many muggles that constantly frequent this access point to the lagoon.

There is a pencil and sharpener to sign the log book and keep the pencil sharp. You can trade small items and please do.
