A series that will not only introduce you to some of the dog parks around the mornington peninsula but we will also be sharing some fun facts and information about a different breed of dog for every cache in the series! Although they are numbered they don't have to be done in order. We have also got our resident experts, Ebony (Gnome5580s geodog!) And Calypso (Beckgizs geodog!) Who will be giving each dog park a score of 1 to 5 paws depending on how much they approve of this park! 🐶 we hope you enjoy this series as much as Ebony and Calypso had testing each of these parks out 😉 and on that note here is their opinion of this park:
HALF MOON BAY:
This is a very popular dog beach in Mt Eliza, there is a nice large area for your doggos to go for a run off leash on the left side of the car park (please note that dogs are not allowed off leash on the right side!) But theres usually plenty of other dogs for your pup to play with and there is water, bins, toilets and picnic tables available not too mention a good size carpark! The only real downside is that it does get VERY busy here quite frequently which might make it hard to get a park at times but otherwise this is a great place to bring the puppies! Ebony and Calypso rate this park (or beach!) A 4 out of 5 paws! The dog we have gone with for this cache is the:
West Highland Terrier:
The West Highland White Terrier, commonly known as the Westie, is a breed of dog from Scotland with a distinctive white harsh coat with a somewhat soft white undercoat. It is a medium-sized terrier, although with longer legs than other Scottish breeds of terrier.

The breed is intelligent, quick to learn, and can be good with children, but does not always tolerate rough handling. The Westie is an active breed, and is social with a high prey drive, as they were once used to hunt rodents.
The Cache:
You are looking for a bison hidden from view so please be sure you're not seen and you cover the cache again completely! This can be a very busy place so please remember to use stealth! But as always have fun and happy hunting! 🤠
