Description

Marlston Hill

Once just sand hills and bush, Marlston Hill is now a busy suburb of Bunbury. This cache is shadowed by the lighthouse but enjoys a lovely view of the Bunbury coastline (just don't forget your fly net!) Everyone loves the beach, but as you look around you’ll notice several exposed dunes caused by people straying from the tracks and taking shortcuts through the dunes to the beach. The Friends of Marlston Hill community group have been working to repair the dunes, laying brushing and revegetating the dunes to prevent further wind erosion. Do the right thing and stick to the paths, or go a step further and join the Friends of Marlston Hill community group to help look after this special place.

Perhaps it's not going to be maintained?
 
Had a good look around but could not see anything. Started out close to the path as it was D1 depicting no need to leave the path, but then climbed through the fence and scrambled up the bank on both sides. Nothing. perhaps the owner could check on this one to see if it needs replacing or archiving. Smile

Geofamily and I headed down to Bunbury today to do a little bit of caching as well as some looking around. Caching got done, but not much looking around!!!

After we gathered the information for the nearby GC multi, we headed down here whereby Geoson made a fast find - again. All day he was on the ball and had them in hand before Geomum or I could look

Thanks for the cache and for getting me to stop here for there views

Took nothing and left nothing

Cheers Cool

Picked up the geo-wife from work and went to check this one out. All quiet today - maybe a bit too warm for muggles, although much cooler than the last few days. Nice easy find.
