Geocache Description:


From Wyong to the Orara and back to Keilawarra ridge this part of the coast had its share of shipwrecks.

 

The cache for this multi is just a small plastic vial with a log only without a pen/cil to wright with so byo your scribble stick.when you do find this well camoed cache it might be better to take it away to a nearby seat sign the log and return it to where you found it without anyone watching you. This should prevent drawing attention to yourself, more so when the markets are on.

 

I made this multi so you could learn about the coasts shipwrecks in and on this part of the world. Theres a local shipwreck that can be found in close proximity. Unfortunatly this cache does not land you there but it will help you to discover it. Theres plenty of parking and covered table and chairs close by for your enjoyment. A playground for the little geokids, toilets and shops nearby and of course that beach and healand.
