Description
J & J's nineteenth cache hide. An easy traditional hidden at Billy Lights Point.
We've enjoyed our short caching holiday to Port Lincoln so much that we've decided to leave a cache of our own!
Initially, we wanted to leave a cache along the Parnkalla Trail where it traverses the Kirton Point caravan park, where we stayed. We felt that Billy Lights Point was a much nicer area, and visiting geocachers who normally wouldn't come this far, now have an excuse to.
Just a short stroll from the car park, this cache should be easy to locate. We've placed a couple of white rocks just next to the container so you know your getting warmer.
The coordinates were averaged down to 3.6 meters, so the magic arrow should be fairly reliable.
The cache container is a 1.2l Sistema painted black. It has a few swaps that've been bouncing around in our caching bag for a while, including a new LED headlamp, minus batteries.
Happy caching!

Logs
It was mid morning when we set off and although there were storm clouds on the horizon the water was flat and a number of fishermen were working close to the shore. The wild flowers are beginning to bloom beside the walking track and we had fun seeing who could spot the most.
When we arrived at the search zone we spent a while looking for the items mentioned in the hint without any luck. While completing a second circuit of the search area Mrs Y'stassie spotted a familiar object. Yes it was the cache, upside down but intact. Our GPS indicated we were 6m from the published coordinates. The container and contents were in excellent condition.
After signing the log we replaced the container and added two items mentioned in the hint. After admiring the vieww from GZ we made our way down to the beach.
Thanks for this cache J_&_J and for showing us this beautiful part of South Australia.
Thanks for the hide J_&_J
A nice little walk and after a bit of wandering around, the cache was found!

I poked the bushes for a while, and eventually the container revealed itself

Arriving at GZ a quick find was made of a nice solid black sistema container with a geocaching sticker in the lid. Unfortunately it was completely empty. We left our sticker in there and if we are able we will try to get back to it during our short stay in Port Lincoln and add a new cache book and some swaps.
Thanks, I think this may be the only GCA hide we find here which is a pity.
I have often been to this area but never walked down the path to the point before. A few people came past walking their dogs and there was also someone fishing from a boat offshore.
Coordinates were spot on and the white rocks made it a lot easier. A very good idea.
