Hello sirius Tas, and thanks for the cache.
A nice walk out to GZ, especially once down on the rocky foreshore. A nice quick find too. All good at GZ.
Found with AlbyDangles on Day Two of the 'Bust' leg of our "Kempsey or Bust" tour.
Cheers, EPs

While at a nearby cache the decision was made to find this one so that we have done this one and wouldn't need to come back here.
After a fair bit of bush bashing, we soon arrived at ground zero where the cache was quickly located via the hint.
the cache and its contents were in good dry condition. TFTC

Hi sirius
After being on the "WRONG SIDE OF THE TRACKS" we looked for a path and was able to find one that was quite amenial to getting to the beach
The walk to GZ was facilitated by the low tide and the rock colours were very intriguing
Sainted at 1340 hours
Loved the view toward Burnie
At least we didn't drive by this time
TFTC and cheers

Opted for the longer walk to this one, heading east along the railway track until we came to the large placed boulders which we scrambled down until we got to the rocky beach.
On the way down found a blue walking pole which may well have been the one lost by Mrs 2y'stassies. It wasn't in an inaccessible place as she described though, but took it with us for the walk and then left it leaning against the fence back at the parking area. Would have returned it but it is quite bent now and probably not that safe to depend on.
Thanks, an easy find at GZ.

After finding Chasm Creek Cutting we headed to this one nearby. We knew that we would have to make our way to the end of the point.
With ample parking beside the highway we were able to make our way down the bank and across the railway line. It was then we had to decide whether we go up the bank and through the thick scrub directly to GZ or do we walk beside the track until we could make our way down to the little beach. Mr Y'stassie took the high road while Mrs Y'stassie took the low road. While he found some well worn fisherman's tracks to follow she was soon scrambling down a very steep loose rock wall. As she slid down Mrs Y'stassie lost control of her walking pole which slipped into a rather deep hole in between rocks - too far for her to be able to retrieve it. Fortunately it was not one of the good poles but a $5.00 internet version from China.
Just as she hit the beach Mr Y'stassie emerged from the scrub a little further along the beach. At the end of the beach we were still 87m from the cache so began our rock hop to the end of the point. The rock structures and colours were fascinating. There were many examples that clearly indicated the chaotic volcanic origin of this part of the coast.
Our GPSs were pointing to an area that looked to be a sensible hiding spot in a section of the point that could be inundated if super high tides and/or storms were to occur. After a short search the well hidden container was exposed and the log extracted. Another blank log and a {FTF} at 15:15.
After returning the container to its spot we looked round for any sign of a track. As there was none we decided to retrace our rock hopping path, the across the beach and back up and over on the fisherman's track. Mrs Y's Tassie decided against trying to scale the rock wall.
Another greatly enjoyable caching experience that tested our skills. Thanks Sirius Tas for another cache with a great view and a journey that made sure we got our exercise.
