Description
This Webcam is located near the Surf Lifesaving Club at Lennox Head. Lennox Head Beach, more officially known as 7 Mile Beach is a great spot for a swim and also has a freshwater lake less than 100m from the waves.
Lennox Head Beach is patrolled during weekends and holidays in the summer months. The surf club has change rooms and showers to wash the sand off after your swim. Straight across the road from the club is Lake Ainsworth. This lake is a freashwater lake but it is stained dark down by the tea tree which grow around the entire perimeter. It is sometimes referred to as the Coca Cola lake by some locals.
To do this Webcam geocache, you will need:-
(i) GPS, or local knowledge.
(ii) Mobile phone.
(iii) Friend with a net-connected computer and a phone.
(iv) Willingness to have your picture posted here.
Your Task:
1) Go to the listed coordinates, locate the webcam and then use the webcam feed to figure out where you need to be to be seen in the webcam. You will notice that the camera bans around so you might have to wait a little while until the camera moves to your location. You also might need to get your feet sandy or wet for this cache, so I have given it a terrain 3.5.
2) Once you are there you can either use your smartphone to access the page or ask a friend to log into the webcam page at:

3) Take a screenshot of the webcam witih you in the frame.
Also let us know if you had a chance to try out the surf
Logs
If I could turn back the clock I'd probably see myself out there in the water a few hours earlier. It's beautiful in there and out here. I love the live music on Sundays here.
We posed and then waited for the camera to pan our way, and took the necessary screen shots on our phones. A fun cache, and it was the perfect day to spend at the beach. Couldn't have asked for better weather.
A fun cache, thanks MalDawg!
