Geocache Description:

Hickey’s Hide-away is the Nomads fourth Cache. It is somewhat removed from our other caches which are located in Victoria. The Billy Goats’ Gruff 53 Km NNE of Sale, Where Eagles Soar 39 Km ESE of Ballarat, Forte’s Ground 53 Km WNW of Ballarat.

This cache was placed in June 2001 during a holiday tour on our return from Tamworth to attend the 42nd Australian National Square Dance Convention, held in the TREC, over the Queen’s Birthday long week end.

The cache is planted on an island at the exit of a large river near a small resort town on the North coast of NSW. The cache is in a white plastic bucket which is buried under the foliage of a large flat leafed shrub with just the lid above the ground level, at the base of an old Banksia tree, 6 Metres due North (Mag) of a small mound at the above location.

Access is possible through the bush via island tracks, or off the beachfront. When using the beachfront approach, timing for low tide might be an advantage. Vehicular access onto the island to within 50 Metres of the cache is possible, however after recent rain, it would be prudent to walk the tracks, rather than drive.

If you enjoy fishing, don't forget the rods as excellent Whiting fishing can be had on the Beach nearby. Please enjoy the facilities and local township hospitality during your visit.
