#3 of 4 we have placed on the Island.
There are 2 ways to this cache. You can either pull up in Port Graves Bay and hike the Blue Diamond Trail to the intersection and take the Pink Diamond trail to the Brigade Bay Rd and go south or you can pull up in Brigade bay and make your way to the road. We chose the 1st route as it offered a nice hike.
The lands around Brigade Bay were some of the most beautiful on Gambier Island: a protected bay with a large intertidal zone, rich in biodiversity and with a small fish-bearing stream emptying into it. Remnants of an old farm and orchard lent a special tranquility to the upland area. It was a popular destination for kayakers, campers, hikers and boaters alike. In settled weather, this is a great spot from which hiking trails lead to Mt Halkett, Halkett Bay, and the head of Port Graves or East Bay.
