We had a pretty good look around but couldn't find.

Sadly this seems to have grown legs and wandered off.
 
04-Feb-22
Waiting for GPS to settle and 4 carloads of muggles arrived. Great spot though. Thanks for bringing me here.
 
14-Jan-22
Sadly we couldn’t come up with the goods today. I expect the vegetation has just grown a little bit too much for it. TFTC however-we wouldn’t have stopped here beautiful blue sky day it’s a view to die for. First time I’ve ever uploaded a photo on a DNF-but this one really deserves it

Thanks so much for your cache highlighting this spectacular view of the coast. Found as we left Cape Bridgewater

Beautiful day out collecting shells (lol) Always love doing Geocaching with FlirtinWithDanger two sets of eyes are better than one when looking for tricky caches like this
 
07-Oct-21
SL at 3:10pm. Daytrip out with DarthVader69. Been to this place many times before as we like the local beaches around here and the picturesque views.
*Cache was dried thoroughly inside and out due to it being wet. Ziplock bag for log was replaced and another ziplock bag for the entire cache was provided to hopefully keep it dry.
*The 'Gnomecat World Traveler 16' TB was NOT found in this cache today. TFTC!

What beautiful views! Unfortunately the last people just threw it in the bushes upside down and as a result the container was sodden with water, as was the logbook. I emptied as much water out as I could and placed it back correctly. Thanks for the cache in such an amazing place

There were a couple of cars in the car park but no one took any notice of us. Firstly we headed a little from where we need to be until we spotted and item that we felt could be hiding a cache.

TFTC!
 
24-Oct-19
We had a one-month period discovering a small part of this wonderful country, coming as a family from France, with my wife CaroLiiiine and our 14-month baby, PirateNoé.
Very often, Geocaching is also a good way to discover hidden places, or to give an extra interest in visiting some other more famous.

Thanks to all geocachers who hid those boxes, we had a lot of fun to find them.

We spent the night here in our motorhome.

TFTC !
