Found it at this nice spot. Container not quite as described, couldn’t write in log as it is so wet.
What a cool spot! Unfortunately we rookied it & forgot our pen to sign the log bit did enjoy the view instead.

An easy find in a very quiet part of a quiet little town. Thanks for the cache.
Pretty hard to get to from the caravan Park but easy find and sadly didn’t have a pen but I found it

Container totally full of water and log just mush. Dried it out and put an old receipt in for log, but needs something or somewhere water-tight.
First glanced at it and didn’t think much of it then realised it was there
A great quiet spot sure to comeback

A lovely day for a day out so with a calendar gap crying out to be filled I picked up my muggle mother for an outing to Seaspray via Golden Beach remembering the days when we used to holiday down here. A bit of a concern walking to the cache as we had spotted a snake earlier on the morning reminding us they were out and about however thankfully the area had been mown recently and we enjoyed a lovely stroll to the gz. I spotted the hide quickly and with the only thing guarding the cache was Captain Morgan and not the previously mentioned spider I had the log quickly signed. Took time to enjoy the vista before making our way back to the car ensuring that we took away the empty can with us.
Thanks Geo-Baristas for bringing us to a beautiful hidden gem.

Another day, another cache. Just filling in another blank on our 365 day calendar. A lovely spot that we could have spent much more time enjoying than we did today.
Thanks for find #1778

What a great little spot! It took us a while to figure out the best approach but we ended up finding a really cool little walking track which led us here. Gorgeous day too TFTC!
Unable to locate this one. Couldn’t work out how to get to the island. The car map location took me near houses.
After spending an hour or so fishing in the surf and only catching 1 fish we decided to go for a walk to the Island. Found a few mushrooms to pick (be careful if you do as there are a lot of yellow stainers about) then found the cache. Log is very damp but still managed to sign it.

A bit windy today, but the cache was easily found. We Dutchies are here to meet relatives (PimenJet) and spend time in a cottage from friends. Despite the winds and rains, it’s great to be in Seaspray for a few days and walk around this nice island and of course the ninety miles beach! Thanks for the cache, team SBNR from NL.
No longer a 200ml Sistema

Its been such a long time since I have had time to find caches, something I would like to change in 2019, more time for me and more time for caching… lets see how I go!
I originally marked this cache as ‘found’ FLTF – full log to follow. Here I am well over a month on and I haven’t’ added a full log yet! So her I am typing up a generic copy and paste log, I do apologise that it isn’t a unique log for your cache. Thank you for suppling me/us with a cache to do along the way. I got a few caches orders and finds muddled so I am sorry if I created confusion, I think I have corrected that error now.
Found these caches while staying in Seaspray in early January, we watched the Rosedale fires flare up….terrible to see

What another interesting hide, we have no idea how it stays there. Loads of cows across the water, we wondered by the amount of cow poop if the cows swim over. SL TFTC
Heading out for the day on a recon mission before we head off on a road trip. We had to check one of our caches, which took us a little out of the way, but it was in a good way.
Always nice to stop in Seaspray when the tourists have gone as it it a quaint place in the off season. A walk to the Island was like a stroll in the park and the cache (micro) was easily found.
Thanks to The Geo-Baristas for this placement.

Beautiful location - probably wouldn’t have found this spot if not for the cache. Cache was not in sistema container as described - more like an extra small.
After a false start that turned out impassable it was a couple of hundred meters easy stroll to GZ. Coords spot on. Cache in good nick.
Lovely peaceful spot to sit and watch the ducks.

We found it with friends. Found the log but it wasn't in the systema container as described
After driving all the way to the Honeysuckles to visit a patient, who wasn't bloody well home at the appointment time we'd agreed on, I decided to spend the trip back to Sale caching. This was my second stop and after allowing the Google-maps voice direct me to a street close-by but across the water, I read the cache description and found the well sign-posted trail on the other side. A lovely stroll, featuring a loose white fluffy dog and some awesome red hot pokers in flower, I found myself at the cache. As there's a challenge on Geocaching Australia to cache in the nude, I decided that this secluded location was probably my best bet......and thankfully I found the cache and was re-clothed by the time unexpected kayakers paddled past!

#1354 Day 4 of the 2017 Great Vic Bike Ride from Wilson's Prom to Trafalgar. (still catching up on my logs and it is almost Christmas!) After having dinner at the GVBR tent at the other end of town we returned to our campsite, grabbed the GPS and headed off on a 5 min walk to GZ. Found the cache pretty quickly which is just as well as standing in one spot for more than a few seconds was inviting lots of mozzie friends to come join us. Also be careful if you are in thongs or barefeet as there are some large ands around that would have no hesitation in biting of a toe . TNLNSL, THTC The Geo-Baristas.
A bit windy out on the island today!! Took us a bit to find as coords kept jumping but came up triumphant in the end. A lovely little spot that we would never have found if not for geocaching! SL TFTC
We found the tiny cache that was different to the one in the description , but mum forgot to bring the pen so we could not sign it.
Sadly didn't find this one. No muggles but in my own I worry about snakes. Beautiful place to come visit. Tyftc
Can't believe it took me long to find it! Got into a bit of a fix trying to get my gps to settle and scated quite a few water fowl in the process but finally opened my geo-eyes and got it! TFTC
What a beautiful location. Found by geochild. Thanks for bringing us here. Thanks. Silkyie
A spot we wouldn't have visited so thanks for placing a cache here. Geocaching certainly takes you to some amazing places. TFTC
Parking at the memorial park and walking from there was a good bet. Cache is no longer exactly as described, seems to have undergone an update, but the hint is still good. First name on new log. TFTC
Found at 4:05 PM GAFF1.
We found the recommended access and then just a short walk with a lovely breeze. We were impressed with the location and the lovely setting.
Thanks The Geo-Baristas.

Parked the car within striking distance to the cache but, "d'oh", access wasn't quite as quick as I was expecting. Anyway 'twas a nice walk along the flood embankment back to the flood-gate and then onto the island before finally locating the cache.

What a fantastic cache! I grew up in Seaspray and never knew about this island, so for bringing me to a place I never knew existed, I award one favourite point thanks for a great find!
Great hide, needed the hint... visited too late in the day, massive mozzies appeared and we had to leave in a hurry....
I don't think we took the most direct route but we got there in the end and we enjoyed our stroll. Tftc
Depending on where you park, keep walking. You'll get to The Island!
Nice, secluded park.

On our way to Seaspray Ohensler and myself stopped here and searched for this box.
Thanks for the cache, Spurenleserin.

Found it after first trying to wade in the water in undies. Finally found that wasn't necessary, hahaha
Had quite an adventure trying to get to the island, even tried to wade across in the undies but it got too deep. Eventually figured out we didn't need to get wet to find this cache haha! tftc
Made a pass at this one a few months ago but approached from the wrong side and had to abort. Came at it from the correct angle today and found it quickly. Lovely little spot. TFTC.
Finally found the way,don't trust the car navigator what a great place and had to walk through flowing water after rain which made it completely surrounded by water. Great spot for a cache thanks The Geo-Baristas FTC.
Found on our "Making Memories" Tour of Mainland Australia.
Today we explored Seaspray and surrounds using geocaching as our guide.
We found 6 caches and this was one of them. Enjoyed the walk to GZ and seeing the birdlife. Thanks to all cache owners for placing and maintaining these caches for our enjoyment.

Replaced this on with a container that was a little bit different. All up and running again now.
Had to delay the start of the search for a muggle picnic so we had a picnic.
Then had to call off the search as long weekend muggle campers arrived on the island.
Will come back another weekend.

We thought we would do some owner maintenance on our caches today as it was warm and sunny.
I am pleased to say that this one is still in good condition and hasn't gone wandering around. There is some rubbish around the GZ though, some CITO may be needed.
Happy Hunting.

nice quick find after watching the bird life
great little hidden spot
lots of bird species here
looks very well maintained bit of a shame about all the rubbish that has been dumped near gz
this is the reason that we lose access to all of these beautiful locations
people should be ashamed
