Description
WORTH THE WALK TO GET THIS VIEW
This walk should be started at the carpark at Charlesworth Bay at the end of resort drive S30 16.040 E153 08.293.
The take the walk up the hill on a well made track leading to a manmade walkway which is excellent, though not wheelchair friendly. That is the reason for the difficulty rating only as its not a hard walk at all.
The cache is a film container with log and very small pencil. You do not need to leave the walkway to find the cache.
Enjoy

Logs
The water was very beautiful today, with bands of different colours stretching out to the islands.
We had the same confusion with the hint as previous logs, and after a fair bit of searching and scratching around with no results, the kids were getting restless, and the decision was made to head back to the car.
Luckily, Dad decided to make one last sweep and came up with the goods in deceptively easy spot.
After signing the log, and replacing a bit of the leaf cover we headed off for lunch.
Thanks for the cache.

A nice easy find, not so quick, after visiting my son. beautiful area here. First time I've had the chance to look for this cache even though my son has lived here for a few years and I've visit him here a few times.

Caching in the area with whitewebbs and this was one of the caches we found. Once we sorted the landings it was a quick find.

Day 78 Mainland trip (now heading to OZGM)
Out and about caching in and around Coffs Harbour with Tassie Trekkers and we stopped to find this cache. It took a while but find it we did. Just need to count the landings properly. Nice to find a cache hidden by a fellow Tasmanian. TFTC

Given my recent experiences i.e Did Not Find logs on all the other GCA caches in the Coffs region placed in 2013 and not found since, I wasn't even sure whether I should bother attempting it. But decided to give it a go and after a short search found the thing where I would have hidden one, albeit it under a lot of leaf litter these days. So signed the log, a nice 3 years unfound, and popped it back under a little less covering but still hidden. Thanks robtas.
DNF on the NSW leg of our Round Aust trip
Staying in Coffs for a few days and today we took the kids out for a look at the sights, found some caches and some waymarks.

Went out to look for a couple of GCA caches and some trig points. Searched in every crack and crevice and thoroughly under the steps and platforms but no luck.

A fun cache find from the top of the steps
But despite the delightful surroundings, the chatty passing muggles and the wooden formwork, I couldn't find a cache for a while and had to pretend I was trying to spot a platypus
The inquisitive muggle I told that porky to was obviously a bit smarter than your average bear and gave me a funny look before heading off
I thought I was going to hear his life's story !!
With the muggle crisis averted, I concentrated on the cache find.
Now does the bridge count as a landing or not ??
I kept poking around and eventually between the fifth and third landing found me a cache

Didn't know whether to include the first big landing so ended up with 2 small areas to search. The find was soon made.
A lovely area with some impressive homes and we had a nice walk along the beach to this one.
Thanks and hi Robtas!

Woohoo! Parked as suggested and took the walk to find the cache, which was well worth the effort. A beaut little walk with some great views. Sooooo happy to find an empty log sheet! My first FTF! The sun was out and the waves looked very inviting, it was hard to believe there weren't more people at the beach today. Had a few muggles to deal with, but found the cache after a brief search. Thank you for bringing me to a part of my backyard I had yet to visit. I'll be back here again for sure. TFTC SL
