Tftc nice area

Out and about with TBU1BIKESU to get more smiles.We sent our answers to CO and log our find.Tftc

We made a nice relaxing walk up to the light house, admired the murals on the water tank and then dedicated our time to go down to GZ to get answers for this earth cache.We sent our answers to CO and log our find.Tftc cslyoda

Found during my business trip with my brother. Thank you, nice place.

Today we headed up from Brisbane and spent the afternoon exploring around the Point Cartwright Reserve. While walking around doing other caches we arrived here at the right low tide time that we could wander over and complete this Earthcache. We must have spent a good 30mins just looking around the GZ vacinity. With the tide out it was fascinating and there was a lot of interesting other rocks to see besides the Earthly ones we were answering questions on. Answers have been sent to the CO.Thanks for the Earthcache.

An earth cache at the end of Point Cartwright sounded like something I just had to do, and I was not disappointed. As I approached the GZ two Welcome Swallows were zooming around my head and I thought this was a great sign. I completed my study of the area and answers have been sent in. Before leaving I watched a couple of ships on the horizon going about their trade. A very pleasant day. Thank you -cslyoda- for bringing me here. Loved it!

Im on the coast for the weekend and noticed this Earthcache that I hadnt done on Point Cartwright. Even though I arrived fairly early, the riverside car park was full but luckily someone pulled out at the right time. It was halfway through the tides but low enough for me to easily reach gz. I found what I think was the right rock and studied both it and the cliff face. My answers have been sent to the CO. An interesting location on a beautiful winters day. TftEC

Very nice spot for a walk around I've been up the top and further down the beach many times but never got around to actually going down to these rocks. They are definitely worth seeing especially the cliff face.

CuriousQuest and I visited this earthcache whilst on a walk around Point Cartright. Interesting spot with lots to see. Answers have been sent to the CO on behalf of us both. Thanks for bringing us here and TFTC

Selva Girls invited me out today to do some caching and we made our way to this EarthCache. Answers for the EarthCache sent on behalf of us both. Some nice views from this location, and of course, we thank you for bringing us here. TFTC

A week away in Sunny Qld with my fav person Bogonghazy visiting my gorgeous daughter and partner. Hoping to get a whole lot more while we are here in sunny Qld. Found with Bogonghazy and chonchiandchachi. Thanks for Bringing us here. Answers sent on behalf of Bogonghazy

Found with LittleBoss2 and Chunchi n Chachi as LB2 and I spend a week in Queensland. Tides were low enough for safe navigation today, and so worth it for the view from below. Fave added, thanks

I visited this interesting spot today with karen rinora. We made our observations and discussed the questions. Answers have been sent. Thanks for bringing me by!

Visiting the Sunshine Coast today with fivegk, on a caching holiday from Canada. Answers have been submitted. Love the beaches up here..fav point!TFTC, and Happy Caching!

Visiting here after a wonderful week in this area for the Australian Surf Life Saving titles. We have had many visits to this part of the World and always marvelled at the scenery and interesting rocks, but not taken the time to stop and think about them properly. Really enjoyed doing so and trying to remember back to my first year Geology days in the distant past as part of putting the answers together for this cache. Such a beautiful area here and wouldn't have thought to venture down to the bottom of the cliffs except for the motivation to do so from this cache. Thanks for setting it up!

Catching up on sending answers and logging caches from my trip to Australia with GarbageMan85. We stopped here with muggle friends who had no idea that we were geocaching. I love it when that happens. This is a very beautiful area. I ventured further along the cliff before realizing I needed to go lower. I enjoy travel and exploring. Thanks for bringing us here.

Here with grumplymuggle and jbean2921 (she sent the answers). This is my second visit to this beautiful country. We enjoyed our exploration of the area. Thanks for placing.

After a quiet Friday night, we headed out early from Brisbane with Alexander headlands as our target. Friends have a lovely apartment and we are up for a few drinks and dinner at the surf club.So with a bit of time before catching up, we stopped for a quick cache and to close out a nearby adventure lab.It didnt take long to get to ground zero and find the prize and write the log.A big thanks to the cache owner for making this cache available to foundCheers

We were there at 11:29 AM.A nice area to explore and the tide was ok to reach the required spot. The view of the cliff from this spot is quite impressive and added to the experience.Thanks to cslyoda

Arrived at location on the low side of the tide, easy walking.
My first Earthcache in Australia, here for two months so may there be many more to find. I have also earned two souvenirs, Queensland and Australia today.

Found location and answered questions very nice

This is a beautiful place with magnificent views. Love these Earth Caches TFTC

Beautiful day at Point Cartwright this morning. After doing some banking, I decided that it was time to collect the Point Cartwright caches. I now live relatively close to here and many of these caches are on my list for various reasons.

The tide was on its way out, and was reportedly 1m, but I was easily able to get to GZ, walking past kids playing in the rockpools, a couple of freedivers out on the other side of the rocks, dogs and their owners; it was a lovely day to be on or near the water, apart from the stiff breeze. Thanks for the reason to come down here, cslyoda

After finding an Oldie I walked over to here for some interesting geology.

Mr CNQ was on day 3 of a trip from Bribie Island to Charters Towers and found himself battling both the public holiday traffic/parking and the incoming tide with a heavy swell and strong winds. Wasn't sure about access here but was able to to get close enough to collect some observations, then scoot around the headland for an older traditional cache. Found this a very interesting earthcache with the different layers highly visible, thanks for setting it up csyloda.

Thank you for bring up here and allowing us to view a wonderful part of this area.TFTCache cslyoda

Alyce and I came here a few months ago to grab some caches, unfortunately at the time it was high tide so we didn’t get the chance to attempt this Earthcache. Fast forward a few months and I’m here thanks to Alyce for having an appointment nearby, so while she was preoccupied with that I ventured on over to Port Cartwright to try again, this time the tide was low which meant I had no issue navigating to GZ.

Once at GZ I was in awe! This little hidden gem is amazing! Beautiful views, stunning geology, I literally sat here for over two hours enjoying the sweet serenity and listening to the waves crash along the rocks. Bliss!

It didn’t take me long to gather the information but as stated above it was an amazing location to just sit back and relax.

Thanks for bringing me here and here’s a FP for the overall experience.

This was my third attempt to find this cache. First time was with wayn0, it was already getting dark when we got here. The second time was at high tide, the beach was foamy and quite vicious then.

Answers sent.

Thank you for this earthcache cslyoda and the education.

Gottcha tftc

Wow! Such a beautiful part of our coastline and really interesting geology. I found the honeycomb erosion in some rocks really beautiful and the mix of older and younger rocks on the shoreline fascinating….yes, hands up, genuine rock nerd. Thank you for high lighting this section of coast, it is a really worthwhile visit. We were racing the tide but managed to collect the answers. A really interesting rock near GZ which seems to have a piece of burnt timber within it,we could decide if it was fossilised or not…certainly had us talking! Thanks to cslyoda, answers sent.

Nice walk to get there it was very windy it was incredible

Answers sent. Nice Saturday adventure with a bunch of whales. Tftc

I arrived at low tide to check out this area. On route I noticed the art on the water tank. I like seeing these structures covered in art. It was a beautiful Queensland winter day so it was a lovely day out, especially due to the fact it’s a Thursday. Weekends at places like this I always try to avoid! Too many people for me. Thanks for the Earthcache.
Cheers

Today, [@jesswrigley](http://coord.info/PRNW59T) and I travelled north to Peregian Beach to attend [E's Community Celebration Event](https://coord.info/GC8K1N5). We next took a walk around the beach town with assistance from the newly published *Visit The Beach - Peregian Beach* Adventure Lab, before then travelling south to Mooloolaba for lunch at The Wharf. We then took a drive around to Point Cartwright and completed the rest of our Sunshine Coast adventure with a walk around the headland completing *Zara's Walk* Adventure Lab and a Location for *Oh, the places we'll go!".

I thought that you could just walk from the headland to this EarthCache, but after spying the lighthouse ahead of us, we took the proactive decision of heading along the beach, and I'm glad that we did. There really was some awesome geology being showcased along the beach, with the rock the right type to show its features as it has been impacted by the ocean erosion. We arrived at GZ, and made a few observations to then collect the answers, before compiling and sending onwards to the CO for verification. Thanks cslyoda for the EarthCache placement and organisation.

Fascinating rocks. Beautiful view; tftc!

Went to this earthcache a few days ago. Did my observations and finally sent the answers. Waited a couple of days before logging this as a find. Thanks for putting this one up.

Had a great time visiting the area! TFTF.

A great little adventure. Thanks for bringing me to this lovely location. TFTEC.
Photo am sent with answers. Not uploaded with my log as it contains spoilers.

Up on the Sunshine Coast grab few more caches for a challenge cache. Glad I came up here because it rain in Brisbane, but in the end the rain did come up here. Got rain on at Point Cartwright. Rest of the day was good. Did spend to long at two DNF’s.

My haul today was 14 traditional, 2 earthcache and 2 adventure labs with 7 waypoints. In the end the finds count was 23 finds and 2 DNF.
I had lots of fun today.
Answer sent to CO.

Sorry for the generic log.

Had a great walk with Muggle65 out to here. A pro photographer was using the beach to take some artistic shots of a couple. The ocean was certainly playing its part for her. Fabulous location. Thank you so much for bringing us here

This location is fabulous, & I saw people…. Lots of people, taking lunch, taking drink & taking photos, just around the headland from the GZ. We also debated that the terrain value was assigned due to the difficulty in finding parking anywhere near. I’m giving this a fav point, I think, my first Earth cache fav.

Such a beautiful walk in this area. 2 Brahminy Kites were sitting in trees high above calling together.
The rock formations are profound and beautiful. Such geological aging here.
A FP added.
Thanks cslyoda

Out and about in this beautiful part of QLD today, enjoying the company, and weather ️ Love a good EC. Answers sent in through Ardom’s account.

I have been checking the tides regularly when I travel to this region. But given I'm mostly here to kayak at high tide, opportunities for collection of the answers were not forthcoming. On a ground based cache hunt today, and the tide was at a more friendly time, so we made our way here to grab the answers. TFTC!

It’s a gorgeous day to be visiting a location such as this. Answer sent by Ardom.

I was in the area hunting a Q100, and nabbed this earthcache on the way back. What a lovely location. I used to come here, many a moon ago, to go snorkelling on the other side. We would bob in the water and wait for sunrise, and then watch the fish in their docile state as they slowly woke up. It was great below the waterline - and just as beautiful today above the waterline! Fabulous place, thanks for taking me here cslyoda.

After a lunch date nearby we decided to drop in for a visit at point Cartwright. We realised right away that the tide was out and thought to grab the opportunity and walk the whole loop around the point. Such an interested landscape!! We really enjoyed the scenery and we’re glad to have swung by at just the right time, on a really beautiful day. Thanks for the earthcache here, prompting us to venture down.

Wow, wow wow and repeat. Rode the Fat Bike up from Moffat Beach and the tides were perfect to ride all the way to the cache location.

It has been too many years since i have ventured around the point and had completely forgotten how magnificent it is both here and above.

With the cache duties complete it was time fro a coffee just around the corner and a beer on our return to Moffat Beach

Wow. I loved this earth cache.I was up from Brisbane visiting my mum at peregian and my sister at Bli Bli. On the way home I decided to pick up a few smileys and I was so pleased I did. What a beautiful place . I took my time to enjoy this place. Saw sunset and a couple of rainbows. Thankyou for taking me here and for placing this cache here for us to enjoy. Giving it a FP FOR all the fun

Low tide so we stood on the rocks and observed. HNB

Came back here for the lab. Tide was better than last so I went for this cache.
Made my observations and will send answers shortly
Thank you for hiding this geocache and keeping me entertained cslyoda

Out for an afternoon grabbing caches at Point Cartwright. I'm no stranger to these rock pools at all, I spend most weekends here during low tides out on the rocks. I just kept putting this EC off, time and time again, because there was good stuff to be seen and fresh shells to be collected. After doing some CITO and grabbing a few nice fresh shells, I made my way to GZ and obtained the answers. Answers have been sent to CO. Thanks for the EC cslyoda!

Visiting from the Gold Coast with geo friends and came across this amazing cliff face with such beauty.
Answers sent to CO for approval, I really enjoyed visiting the GZ area.

Earth cache day so better go get an EC.
Lovely part of the world.
Thanks for putting an EC here cslyoda.

Tricky with tide so high. Beautiful spot. Thank you.

Great spot to see the beauty of Point Cartwright. Had to wade a little, recommend going with a lower where possible.

Tftc

I came out here again the other week and studied my surroundings answering the questions while enjoying the salty sea air.
I remember coming here as a kid thinking the cliff wall and adjacent hill were stupendous in size.
Thank you for creating this earthcache here inviting everyone down to the beach for a puddle hop, skip with some learning thrown in too.
Cheers.

Thought I'd come for a gander, i was only twenty metres away but the wrong end.. and being on a tredley, will have to come back and do it properly.
Cheers for a great earthcache placement though!

Nice. Cool thanks

Nice place.
Lucky for me the tide was a little so i had plenty of time to explore and wonder around the rock pools and around the rocks.

Travelling from Redcliffe to Perigian Springs today for our muggle friends youngest son's 21st but there is always time for another cache along the road, just a safety thing really, stretching my legs, really
Worked our way around to the correct location and gathered the required information, luckily the tide was lowish and the oceans calm.

What a great spot and dog friendly as well.

All Good .. TFTC ..

Today we spent a few hours wandering around Point Cartwright, looking for geocaches and enjoying the spectacular views. It was a relief to finally have some sun and warmth after days of rain, and the sea and sky were blue and inviting.
We enjoyed the little walk around to this Earth Cache and found it surprisingly easy, mostly flat and not very far.
The rocks here- all of them- are quite fascinating, and we actually would have liked more information on some of them. We hope to be able to find out more, but for now we are happy to have seen such a geologically interesting spot and pretty views. Thank you for the EC.

What a fantastic location and this Earthcache has been on the radar since my last visit from the UK in 2018. Thankfully I timed the visit to coincide with the low tide. Tricky little Eartcache compared with some but great to try and work out what was going on. Many thanks.

Came here right on low tide, which made for a perfect exploration of the rock shelf around Point Cartwright. Enjoyed tackling this cache, and I've sent my answers off, hopefully for a pass mark! Thanks for the cache, cslyoda.

Such a beautiful place here, very private.. plenty of rock pools for little kids. The view is breathtaking

We were in the area chasing old caches for Fangsoki's Challenge Cache.

We got here after sunset and at the wrong level.

We'll have a proper look next visit. Have to go back to the Gold Coast.

Thanks for taking us here cslyoda. The link you provided must have changed? It's not about low or high tides when followed.

Thank you for taking me out here, defiantly one to do with the geo pup

Beautiful lovely peaceful calm quiet place to sit and watch the waves roll and splash in.

Found this with Mum as 'Jess & Caro'. She is now Carø and I now have my own geocaching profile so we are sorting my logs for caches we found together. TFTC!

What a neat place this is, and it is geocaching that brought us here today. We were lucky enough to find a carpark as we pulled in, and we walked down to the sand and rocks and made our way around from there. Being somewhere between low and high tide, the water was there but we were still able to get around to GZ. This area brought back a lot of memories for me of poking around rock pools in NZ and finding all sorts of creatures. Our answers have been emailed. Thanks for this earthcache, cslyoda!

Passing through the Sunshine Coast and decided to stop for a caching session...this was the 4th find....The tide was out so got to walk around the cliffs and check the whole area out....TFTC and thanks for bringing me down here!

It was lovely to show this place to our cousins last week before the rain set in and check out the rocks for the earth cache. We have seen eagles, oyster catchers, octopus, dolphins, sting rays, cowries, sea slugs, sea hares, bent wing butterflies

Went exploring this beautiful are at low tide and thoroughly enjoyed the trip. So many interesting rocks to poke at!!

Visiting family in Australia this week all the way from Seattle. Spent the morning walking along the beach and then hiking up and around the lighthouse area. Coffee, sunshine, and the coast make for a lovely Sunday morning. Saw this Earthcache and couldn't resist - luckily enough, it was low tide! Thanks for the cache. Answers sent to CO.

Tuesday Travels with bb and Rio. We are on a mission today, to collect some solved puzzle caches, to like some traffic lights and have a lovely walk around the wilds of Mooloolaba. Not to mention a bit of drive - we're not sure yet where we'll go, LOL!

If you only have time to do a few caches when you visit the Mooloolaba area, this is one I would pick not just because earthcaches are my favourite type of cache, but because it is in a really lovely spot. Being organised as usual (not!), we were lucky when we got here and the tide was out (phew!). You could spend hours here just watching the waves and enjoying the cool breeze on a warm day. I had a go at answering the questions (which I have sent through to the CO) - fingers crossed I get the thumbs up. Thank you so much for bringing us here cslyoda and for the earthcache, it was a beautiful place to visit

I do believe this was one of our first earth caches
nice to revisit

they didn't have favourite points back then so i am adding one this visit

just a tb visit

hot day, cool breeze, beautiful view and amazing rocks ! what could be better, answers sent, thank you !

While up visiting the Sunshine Coast to see one of our grandchildren start school we visited Point Cartwright and came to do this Earthcache. Our answers have been sent to the CO and we hope they are satisfactory. We enjoyed walking around the rocks and exploring while here and were glad we came. Cheers and happy caching!

All the stories about Mooloolaba began with a study weekend. I've never heard before about this city but now I will never forget. This place is just magical. Many times I had to tweak myself for checking I'm not dreaming. To write all the stories I experienced in Mooloolaba, there is to little space in here...
In summary, the days we spent at the beach with sunbaking, swimming and walking along the beach to rocks and wet places. The nights we spent in The Wharf Tavern with dancing...
Mooloolaba will always stay in my mind, memories for lifetime...
Thank you for your Earthcache.

We do love the places caching takes us. Thank you for adding to our fun while here in Australia. Being "prairie folk" from central Canada, the ocean calls to us (of course the fact that it is summer here, and winter there helps!) and this was no exception. Such a beautiful place! Our Aussie friends said that they often see dolphins here... no luck today, but we'll be back! Thanks for a great earthcache! Gets a favourite from this crew. Answers sent to CO.

Gorgeous day

Realised after checking notes that I missed logging this one! What a fabulous day was had by the 3 amigos! And close up free whale watching thrown in! TFTC

Accompanied Gcoven and woodyrothwell on their Sunny Coast cache drug run. First stop was Point Cartwright to collect a few caches on a great 'spring' morning. The highlight were the whales just off the point.

Interesting cliff formation and foundation rock type. In a previous working life worked on a physical model of the area testing breakwater lengths and the shoaling effect at the mouth of the river.

Answers sent to the CO. Thanks cslyoda for an interesting geological lesson of the area!!

As we walked around the point, I was amazed at how many dogs there were walking over the rocks. I was worried about tripping over and falling flat on my face but our four-legged friends were having a phat time and I was jealous. Note to self: don't fall over.

What a fantastic place, with great views of the coast and ocean. It looks like it could be a dangerous place at times with a high tide, but today was perfect. There's nothing better than a danger cache.

We looked at some rocks, kicked a few, stood on some and sat on others. Luckily we had a team member who has a great understanding of the subject matter and was able to point out to us what we needed. Fantastic spot and lesson.

Thanks for the information and interesting walk.

Favorite point added for cool location and information. TFTEC.

Stopped by the Sunshine Coast on our way north towards Cairns. This area was one of the places we stopped off and it did not disappoint. Thanks for setting up this cache.

Nice walk on a glorious winters day. TFTEC

Two hours to low tide and the floor rocks were OK to get to and see. Really interesting to see the range of rock types here, and the layers in the cliff face. Thanks for the geology lesson.

Out with friends looking around the coast and had fun learning rocks here. Thanks.
