Updated 24 April 2022
This cache has been renovated and the final cache and some of the waypoints have moved. The listed coordinates are a possible parking spot, but it seems that this entrance road is no longer maintained. Also note, that the amount of traffic has increased considerably since the cache was originally placed, so you may prefer to use an alternative parking spot.
The cache is for those who like a challenge rather than a straight forward cache! The terrain rating of this cache is extremely dependent on when you go there - pick a sunny day and a very low tide and you will wonder why all the stars. On the other hand, try it at any full tide and it will need more stars (and some specialist equipment, or preparedness to get rather wet!). The terrain rating doesn't necessarily exclude dogs and children, although you might want to leave them at the bottom when retrieving the actual cache. We found that the dog we took wondered what all the fuss was about. Children don't have as far to fall when they slip - which we did several times, so we suggest your least slippery shoes and some extra padding for your behind!!! We sometimes take kayaks to this area, you may like to do the same.
We also suggest that to enjoy the cache you should choose a fine day and the lowest possible tide- see http://www.bom.gov.au/oceanography/tides/MAPS/tas.shtml We usually plan on arriving about an hour before low tide to give time to get to the cache and back before the waters come in again. Keep an eye on the tide level (although you can always climb upwards and take an alternative route back if necessary). And, please cache with at least one friend!
To get the coordinates for the final cache location, you need to collect the 5 waypoints, each of which is a sphere that the gods have thrown from the heavens above (Oh, that's something else you need to keep an eye out for in this area - falling spheres). We have collected five spheres and encased some in plastic containers, to encourage them to stay in place. Each sphere has its own number, which you need to note (if you can't decide which way up a number goes, just look at the writing on the sphere). Please replace the spheres carefully. Some spheres have stayed in place for a number of years through all kinds of weather, but others have disappeared at times – probably due to the activity of muggles or other animals.
Gps proved a bit erratic at times, but the photos are BIG hints - don't look at them if you don't want to see any SPOILERS (alternatively, you could attempt this as a no gps required cache!!!).
The listed coordinates are where we start walking from, but you may choose a different location - especially if you have a certain membership.
Waypoint 1 Sphere A 42° 48.684 S 147° 30.801 E
Waypoint 2 Sphere B 42° 48.691 S 147° 30.751 E
Waypoint 3 Sphere C 42° 48.804 S 147° 30.516 E
Waypoint 4 Sphere D 42° 48.781 S 147° 30.392 E
Waypoint 5 Sphere E 42° 48.752 S 147° 30.249 E
The cache itself is at: 42° 48.(D+D)B(C+C) S 147° 30.C(D+E-1)(A-5) E
The cache container is somewhat flat, so anything fatter than a tennis ball is not going to fit.
The new cache contains a logbook and pen,a variety of spheres, and assorted swaps.
