"Hello Team MavEtJu thank you for the cache.

A nice easy to find newer light house.

DON'T go to the listed cords there is nothing there.

correct cords are S41° 1.112' E144° 37.593'

MrsD and I were up the NW on a four day weekend.
Today we went down the West Coast to Temma and I was allowed to find some caches on the way, this was one of them.

On a Sunday afternoon drive from our camp in Arthur River. Being a newbie to GCA I don't quite understand some of the logging parameters. But I was here.

Our Garmin wanted us to travel a certain track to this one but that track had a locked gate at the start of it so we had to find our own way there. This turned out to be a blessing as a bit further down the road there was a perfectly good road to the lighthouse.
What a great coastline, could just sit and watch the waves roll in for ages. Thanks.

Found this one a little while back but have been saving it to fill a gap in our caching calendar. Loving this series of virtual caches, they're usually in quite spectacular places with lovely views. TFTC

Whilst the structure is not tall, the Bluff Hill Lighthouse dominates the landscape because it is located on an elevated position back from the coastline. The views of this part of the rugged West Coast are spectacular. The required photo has been added to the Gallery. Thanks Team MavEtJu for the cache and for the series.
