Description

Tree Point

~ M I N N I E W A T E R ~

A small coastal village completely surrounded by Yuraygir National Park.

...and gateway to Solitary Islands Marine Park.

This little area has to be one of the best coastal zones in Northern NSW. Once you park your car, it's just a short walk to find the cache. From the cache location you can follow a track North, South or directly towards the ocean. The ocean track takes you down to the beach where big stones are tumbled by the waves. There is also a awesome collection of shells on this bit of coastline, some quite big. The track south takes you do a couple of nice beaches, with more interesting rock formations and small alcoves carved into the stone. To the North is another beach, with 4WD access.

Bring a picnic and make a day of it. It's easy to spend a full day in this area swimming and exploring - and you wont see more than a handful of people.

Go home stairs...you're drunk.

This cache is part of the Clarence Coast Secluded Secret Spots tour - a series of nine traditional geocaches of various shapes and sizes and a single bonus Earth(like)Cache that can be found by visiting the cache page and answering a few questions. The caches are all at Secluded Secret Spots, meaning that most people visiting the area don't find these particular locations, or they pass them by. They are all quiet locations perfect for some alone or couple time, but also perfect to let the family run round and be themselves. It would be very surprising to find someone that doesn't agree that these areas are beautiful.

After a bit of an extended adventure looking for the nearby trig point, we headed down to the beach for a bit of a relax. We took a slight detour along the way back to grab a few caches, including this one.

We spotted the hide straight away, but the lid was stuck. In the end we had to use a rock to help us get to the cache. It was still a pretty cool find.

On the way back to the car we ran into a red bellied black snake. Luckily it was busily disappearing into a hollow on the end of the log borders of the path.

Thanks for the cache!

Good and well positioned and worth the walk to find it.

Another reunion of old mates in Minnie Water so wandered down to discover container jammed. Thought I'd head off to the EC via the board walk steps but a young brown snake barred my way. Walked back, grabbed a knife to remove container, signed noting there have been finds since now-T. Went back to b/w & snake sufficiently warm to rear its head. Perhaps there is another access point further along but rain imminent. Thanks for all these caches.

Aw, man! I just saw this log (26/01/20). I'd forgotten to "update it later" as I just read. Problem is, I can't remember the experience anymore. I do know that this series were all fantastic. Love these caches. Thanks MattyRx
