Description

You need to clean up when you get out!

Nothing worse than sand in the budgie smugglers and dragging it all through the car. How many times did your ma tell you to wash all the sand off before you went near the car.

This should be a relatively simple find, just another reason to be down at The Strand. While you will need to bring your own ink, the sand and water are provided free of charge. Just make sure you move well away before taking out and signing the log.

For the junior cachers, you will deninitely need an assist with this one, it is not dangerous at all, may just be out of your league. And while you're down here, why not stay around for a bbq, take the kids to the park or a dip in the Rock Pool. There is always something to do down at The Strand. Enjoy the 10th Anniversary of Caching in Oz.

Yep, it's pretty obvious that this one is gone, if it was there I'm sure I would have found it, did get some quizzical looks from muggles passing by, Lol.
Well TFTC. Hope you can fix this one soon, it would be a shame to loose a GCA cache.

Guess it's been 12 months since anyone has logged a visit of any kind on this one. Thought this would be an easy find but no luck for us here today. Thanks.

Quick find at 1000. Lucky I am not vertically challenged. If the last log indicted that the log sheet was 99% full then it now must be 100% full. I signed log in a space on the paper with YOF and the date. At a pinch the log may take one or two more short signatures. TFTC

Wandering between caches on the Strand on the way from the airport to my hotel and I found this one was in the GPSr. Looked it up on my phone and it wasn't there? Realised it's a GCA cache! Plenty of walkers in the late afternoon but managed to make the find as I knew what I was looking for. Easy enough to get the log out but there's probably only space for one more log.
Thanks!

Found it (17:44) ...

Nice quick find - but secure from accidental find I would say...

Fairly high muggle presence passing by so a bit fo time was lost waiting for clear space to return cache..

Quick and easy find. Took longer to extract the log. Not a real big fan of these nanos.

Thanks

WanderingAus

WanderingAus wandered by on day 37 of our annual 'Climatic Refugee' trip, and made a very quick and easy GAFF 1 find.

After struggling to retrieve the log for a couple of minutes I returned to the geoPajero for the tweezers which always lived in the iPaq pda pouch. Now that the iPaq pda has been forced into semi-retirement by the acquisition of a Magellan Explorist GC, I'll have to find another way of ensuring I always have tweezers with me.

My find No 2463, and find Number Three for my new Magellan Explorist GC, TNLNSL.

*Recommended* *Overall Experience: 2*
