Description

Lake Coogee Walk

The path around Lake Coogee is generally very secluded, though this is likely to change as the area is opened up for more housing development. It is a lovely scenic walk with seats along the way, some plaques & sculptures commemorating aspects of the area's heritage and a bird-watching hide at the southern end of the lake. The full circuit of the lake is about 4.8km; to walk the full circuit, you need to leave the lakeside and follow the road for part of the way along the eastern shore.

The cache is intended to be a fairly easy find a few metres off the path. 

Suggested parking coordinates:  S32° 07.744  E115° 46.749
From here, it is a 1.6km walk to GZ.

This cache was placed during the GeoSportz 2016 game period to meet the requirements of the 1500m hide challenge. It could also be used by other cachers to meet the 1500m find challenge, or one of the other challenges such as rowing or sailing. Realised that the preceding statement was incorrect, as only caches that were published before the start of the game can be counted toward those challenges ... only the FTF challenge can be met by a newly published cache.

 

There is an FTF tag, a couple of tags for subsequent finders and a few trinkets in the cache. A gnome is in residence at GZ at time of publishing.

tftc Firnsy i actually park just off Russell Road at S 32 8 663 E115 46 858 and only had to walk 750m to the cache. A great cache which was easily found. I have put a picture in the gallery to show better options for getting to the cache. ClappingClappingDancingDancingClan Minotaur

Rushed out with TR during a break in the weather thinking we would be FTF unfortunately after dashing around the lake, saw that we had been beaten to the punch! Nevertheless it was in a great location, found the cache no trouble. GPS was all good, took me within 4m of GZ and it was soon spotted. Was glad to find the gnome as consolation and left the tags as I had already got one from the Night Cache.

Thanks a lot Firnsy. Always enjoy your caches Smile

My grandparents took me for a walk to this cache. I had a quick play nearby before they took me back to the car again.

The Better Half saw this cache had been published overnight but it was too wet and cold to take out Gwawr when she first arrived so waited until we were sure that there would be no showers for a while.

We all enjoyed the walk to the cache but had trouble finding it initially as the GPS didn't want to settle down at anything under 40m. Finally it came down to something that enabled me to decide where to look and after a bit I found the cache.

Thanks Firnsy for the cache and walk.

We got back to the vehicle just in time to avoid getting wet from the shower that arrived over the hill.

1.6 km is usually an easy stroll for me, but I am a bit stiff today after carrying in the camo object for this cache yesterday.
