Description
Our Geo Art, Fairway Fun, is designed to highlight some of the activities now available to locals and visitors. This is the eighth of 12 Geo Art caches forming an F
Fairway Park began life as a 9hole golf course and became redundant with the opening of the 18hole Allison golf course along Lobster Creek. Since then, the area has become a multiuse park for all with BBQs, play and exercise equipment, paths for walkers, joggers and bike riders, a sound shell for outdoor musical performances, a dog friendly cafe, grassed areas for play and dog walking, a Water Slide, Skate park, Pump Track and the Surf Club. Close by you will find the Yacht, Football and Bowls clubs as well as the break water, a popular fishing spot, an off-leash dog exercise beach, the caravan park and Shropshire Park home of the Naval Memorial, a place for quiet reflection and remembrance. The nearby beach has safe swimming in front of the Surf Club and plenty of beach for beach combing and sand play. The beach is regularly patrolled.
Take a quiet stroll along the beach to retrieve this regular sistema.
There is plenty of safe parking close by

Logs
We had ridden the Turners Beach series but decided to drive and walk this one as we don't really like taking the bikes on the beach.
There were two work utes parked at the nearest entrance to this part of the beach and I thought we mightn't have been able to search for this one but luckily the workers were on the Surf Club side of the track and the cache was the opposite way.
The wind was horrific today, especially on the beach but GZ was a nice sheltered spot and it was good to get out of the wind, even if only for a short time.
A quick find and loved the signed leaf in there - very original!!
Thanks.
The trip started at a leisurely 6.30 am and while going over the highland route we started our first of three major GCA trails at 10.30. The trip over the highlands was worth the detour, with a First to find at the "Bridge over Ouse" and a WhereIgo that I had solved for the central highlands a long time ago. The three main runs we took on today, were the "Challenging" Sailboat Geoart, the "tricky" F Fairway and the "very clever" Lighting bolt caches. I have to say that the lighting bolt caches had a cache design I had never seen before, so was an absolute highlight.
Thank you for placing these caches for our enjoyment
Found the container as Dez055 mentioned. Didn't have any paper with us (left the spare notepad in the ute) thought next best waterproof option...a leaf. signed the new temporary log and noted findings. Re-hid the best I could.
Finally came back to find the couple that i didnt find previously and to find the rest of the series.
We located the container but it was completely empty as per photo.
We signed a leaf and placed in the cache to log our find as per second photo but this one needs some maintenance.
Many thanks 2y'stassies for creating this geoart and adding to our caching experience today.
Some were more of a challenge to find than others but we managed to find them eventually.
Very nice day to wander the area, no wind and the sea was calm.
Just a lone muggle way out near the waters edge
At gz the cache was soon located with a bonus ftf...many tftc cheers ST.
