Description
Cache placed just off 7 Mile Beach
Seven Mile Beach - Horses and Dogs permitted on beach all year round except the section between Day Use Area 3 and Day Use Area 4 where dogs are prohibited 1 Dec to 1 Mar 10am to 6pm. At other times dogs must be on lead. Horses prohibited on beach west of Day Use Area 4 at all times.
I was out this way cleaning up a few cache and was thinking why are there so few caches out here.
In an attempt to fix this I have placed some today for you to find along the wonderful Seven Mile Beach.

"Hello stainless-steel-rat thank you for the cache.
A nice easy find with great views.
But I wouldn't want to be here on a bad day.
EeePees and I had been planning on finding the cache along 5 Mile Beach and Seven Mile Beach for some time now, today we finally got around to do it.
After an early morning start at the carpark at the end of 5 Mile Beach Road we walked along the beach with junior EP in tow and collected caches as we went.
We then ventured inland and found more caches before coming back out near the end of 5 Mile Beach.
From there it was a up and down walk across the point to Seven Mile Beach working our way back to the car ducking in and out of the bush as needed to find caches.
I must admit I did like the break as we sat on the dunes and had lunch.
After lunch it was mostly a case of trudging our way along the soft sand on the inland track finding more caches.
Thank you EeePees and JEP for the great day and for finding the caches I didn't see, it was a great day.

We chose the beach route to walk to this one from Get Forked.Although there was a bit of sandblasting happening in the beach it was still quite pleasant. Nipped into the calm behind the dunes got a quick find. TFTC
I can't believe it was July when this was placed, it seems like only a few weeks ago! Back today and make the find quickly as we I made my way along the beach with the CO. TFTC
Found this cache while out and about today
Journey or Destination
Game Period: 01-Dec-2018 00:00:00 to 31-Jan-2019 23:59:59 AEST
It is sometimes said [citation needed] that the game of geocaching is not about the destination it is about the journey. This game is about the choices you make in the experience of the journey or the destination.
On your entry to the game you will be asked to create a playing field with a number of ground tiles. Your playing field is a grid 20 x 20 ground tiles making a total number of 400 possible steps you can take on your journey or destination. You choose whether you want to find and follow the path or whether you wanted to meander around. A playing field is unique to each player so there is no benefit in teaming up to beat the system through brute force.
For each qualifying geocache that you hide or find during the game period you will be offered the opportunity to click on a ground tile and reveal what lies beneath. There are a number of different ground tiles that will be revealed when you click on your playing field. It should be noted that there are no punishments for clicking a tile but there will not always be the reward you were hoping for as you reveal each tile.
Dirt. The ground beneath the ground tile is just plain old brown dirt.
Dirt with some points. The ground beneath the tile is brown dirt but it has some points associated with it.
Concrete. The ground beneath is part of the pathway that will lead you on your way to your destination but has no point value.
Start. A concrete ground tile that has a blue map marker.
Destination. A ground tile that has a green map marker.
Meandering around and avoiding the path will accumulate points that will be used to place on you the ladder of wanderers. The more you stay off the path the higher the number of points you will accumulate and it will be your journey that will be the determining factor in whether you place into a prize winning position. You are free to select any ground tile to click on; they do not need to be next to each other.
Trying to find the path may mean you strike out on the dirt until you eventually come across the path and as a geocacher who can't say that this isn't a tried and true method. Once you find the path however will you try and follow the path as it changes direction around your playing field? Do you go North, South, East or West to try and find the next concrete tile along the path? If you head one way are you heading towards the start or towards the destination? When you do happen upon the destination tile then you will automatically be in a winning position.
At any point you are free to change from the journey to the destination and vice versa but you won't be able to regenerate your playing field. You are also free to keep playing as long as you have qualifying geocaches, accumulating more and more dirt tile points and placing you higher and higher on the ladder.
Qualifying geocaches fall into two categories. Finds and Hides.
A qualifying find is a geocache that meets the following criteria:
The geocache is listed at Geocaching Australia
The geocache has a hidden date prior to the game commencing
The geocache was logged by you on the Geocaching Australia website during the game period
The geocache was physically found by you during the game period
The geocache is not owned by you unless it is a moveable geocache
The geocache has not previously been found by you during the game period
The geocache is one of the following types:
Burke and Wills
Moveable (you will qualify only once for a find on a moveable geocache)
Traditional
TrigPoint
Augmented Reality
Beacon
Gadget
Multi-cache
Night Cache
Podcache
Reverse
Unknown or Mystery
A qualifying hide is a geocache that meets the following criteria:
The geocache is listed at Geocaching Australia
The geocache has a hidden date after the game has commenced
The geocache was published on the Geocaching Australia website during the game period
The geocache has a container size of regular or larger (Note: A regular geocache has a volume of 1 litre or more)
The geocache is one of the following types:
Moveable
Traditional
Augmented Reality
Beacon
Gadget
Multi-cache
Night Cache
Podcache
Reverse
Unknown or Mystery
The game tracking mechanism relies upon your honesty when logging geocaches as found or hidden.
The games administrators will undertake verification of a statistically significant number of logs.
Players who continually log inaccurate information will be disqualified from the game. The game administrators decision is final.
The game administrators will subtract qualifying hide or find geocaches from your tally if they are found to be not genuine.
The game administrators reserve the right to provide clarifications to the rules at any point during the game.
Don't forget to claim your limited time game trophies, if your qualify, while the game is in progress. Once the game completes the ability to claim your trophies is lost for ever.
Long Walk to this cache, and I was very nervous going through long grass after seeing snakes yesterday. Cache was found and was in good condition. Thanks for the walk today SSR, 12.2 kms in total and two trees climbed

Thought I'd get out this morning and get the few remaining caches before the rain . TFTC
Time was running away so we made a quick dash along the beach to this one. We had to avoid a trotter and several gallopers exercising along this section of sand as we made our way to the hide. Good coordinates and a good hint enabled us to make a quick find. The cache and contents were in excellent condition.
Thanks for another cache along seven mile beach Stainless-Steel-Rat. A very good hide.

Hi stainless
The long walk to this cache was enjoyable through the pines
Ran into an old work mate on the way; good to stop and chat
A couple of other diversions occurred before getting to GZ
One was getting the necessary info at WP2 for "Twelve Mile."
While here, I noticed a woman running toward me - Deercheetah was doing goose's cache and we met up here; man she and her parents are great people
Chance meetings like this add to the value of our sport "Geocaching"
Once we had done the calcs for the multi, even though she was rushing 'cos she needed to collect her daughter from school, we walked together to your cache - the company was great and most welcome; thanks Deercheetah
A quick find was had here (Deercheetah actually made the find)
The cache was Sainted at 1400 hours
From here, it was back to the car - along the beach together - so enjoyable
Again the beach views here were tremendous
TFTC and cheers

Hi Stainless-Steel-Rat - thanks for adding some new caches to the area. After starting the day on the couch, it was time to head out and give the GeoGSP some much needed exercise. After heading out with just the GeoGSP, I soon ran into Whitewebbs who were out and about, and then met up with EeePees so we could enjoy the walk and looking for geocaches together. The GeoGSP loves this part of the beach and he had a great time as well. This was another triple joint FTF, with Mr EeePees finding the correct piece of driftwood first. Great to have another reason to walk this far down the beach, cheers!
When we awoke the email was flooded with new cache alerts but the weather was pretty ordinary, cold and raining. We uploaded the caches to the GPSr in case it looked like it was clearing and about mid morning we headed off. When we arrived in the car park we noticed a familiar car so thought the first to finds would be gone. However we caught up with Lil Rafa at one, and by the third cache Lil Rafa was back with EeePees in tow as we had waited for them to catch up so we could enjoy the walk and finds together. A good days caching is when out and about with other like minded souls. This was another triple FTF with Lil Rafa and EeePees @ 1.10 pm. A nice hide. TFTC

TFTC I loved the hide - made to fit!
My 2nd FTF for the day, shared with Lil Rafa and whitewebbs.
We'd each made separate starts, there were various meet-ups, a bit of to and fro-ing, and some waiting for me to catch up (thanks guys) so we're now all together enjoying a happy stroll and a great few hours caching along these great beach areas.
Me, I needed to be in the area to fill in time between a pre-noon airport drop-off and a 5pm pickup from Orana, Roches Beach and these new caches, plus some other at 5 mile beach keeped me suitably occupied.
Thanks for the adventure, enjoyed in great company, and entertained by 'Rafa'.
Cheers, EPs
