A fun morning traipsing around Watsons Bay and Vaucluse chasing down caches.

spend a lot of time on random ferries today as I was only interested in the boat/ferry and not where it was going. On my travels saw a lot of virtuals on the water.

Out grabbing a few nearby trigs this afternoon after collecting a D5/T5 earlier in the day. Nice walk to Green Point where we could see this one.
Found this lighthouse while out on a caching run through the Eastern Suburbs trying to progress my journey and get a few steps closer to the destination. Total haul for the day was 15 caches including 9 trigs, some GCA virtuals and a few GC caches.
After finding the Green Point Trig I noticed this lighthouse not too far from the shore so decided to snap a pic and see if this qualifies as a find. (I also noticed the Western Channel Lighthouse in background, but i'll try and get a bit closer before I log that one). Now off to find my main target for the day, Hornby Lighthouse!
Thanks for the cache Team MavEtJu. Really enjoying this series!
GCA Find #184
While this cache does not qualify as a find for the Summer Journey/Destination game it is still a great destination.

Caught a couple of lighthouses whilst on the ferry to Manly. This one is the one in the background. 
Sorry I couldn't get a closer look, like the picture above. Taken from Clifton Gardens.
