Logs
We are not replacing this cache, the shore is just too exposed to the elements and is repeatedly washed away.
We visited our cache to see how it coped with a recent downpour of rain. Unfortunately it has gone, washed away - our third lost cache at this location. We love the beach , it is very different to all the others in the area and is great place for fossicking among the rocks, finding crabs etc. We really want to keep a cache there, so we will have to find a better spot to put it. We are temporarily disabling the cache while we come up with a solution.
My 492nd cache.
Thank you for showing me that nice spot.

We have just the 1 day in Esperance to go caching.
It was a rainy, windy afternoon, made for some rough seas but still have good views
This is one we found & logged.
This was worth a favourite point
Thanks goosebumpers

maybe this should have been called twilight, it was for us!!. Big difference in scenery and are those sandstone formations near the steps fossilised trees?
What a location and what a view! Gorgeous!! Cache was easily found after a nice stroll along the beach. We had to hurry a high tide was coming in! TFTC goosebumpers.
I enjoyed the walk along the rocks to the cache location, it was great to see a lot of different types of terrain around town today. Thanks for the cache goosebumpers!
Found on an afternoon of caching with Kimberleycool - as usual she spotted it very quickly. Nice spot. TFTC
Omg, thanks to Friskybadger for introducing me to this, its so addictive! Great spot tftc!
After a quick run down the stairs and a bit of rock hoping cache was in hand and log signed, then it was back to the stairs for the run up, nothing like a bit of geo exercise . TFTC
Here from Canada, doing a bit of caching as we explore Australia....
Another amazing beach, different from all the others.
Took TB to move on.
Thanks for the hide goosebumpers!

Easy find at the beach after doing some rock scrambling.
Dropped off a TB that wants to travel.

While sitting in the car after a coffee I asked my wife if she would like a walk, it was only 50m away along the beach. When we got down to the bottom of the steps we saw the 'beach'. We made it to GZ, that was the easy part. I read the clue, yeah right. there are lots of 'them' here.
I eventuall spotted the plastic and soon had the log signed and cache replaced. Muggle traffic was fairly low.

Found on our foray along the Twilight tourist road. Thanks goosebumpers for bringing us to such dramatic views. What a contrast to the other local beaches!
Found with Kool Running. Coast’n stood by for a while Kool Running looked around with a smug grin thinking he had is sussed. Not too impressed when he finally had a look and realised it was just a pile of rocks after all. Found not long after in the more appropriate location.

We have decided to move the cache slightly due to some complaints about its location. We lost the first cache in a storm as it was placed too low, the second placement was too high according to some so hopefully it is ''third time lucky'' and we have got it right this time.

Not much of a fan of caches that are put out with incorrect coords in sensitive areas with no clue even if it is a really nice spot to be taken too Tftn
A wet day and had a wet and slippery approach, cache burried under sand wash from the rain but still dry inside. Better site than last time. Good move. Still a great view with a fair sea running. TN, left a 1943 penny. TFTC
Nice cache, well hidden. We had a beautiful walk at the beach, and when we drove from the town we saw some dolphins at Salmon Beach. This time I took with me Chris and Boondy the dog (introducing more people to geocaching ) TFTC
I had the same problem as all the others. The coords point up the dune a bit, but there's very little room for a 1.2l cache there. Looked in many spots anyway. then in the rocks below (about 10m from GZ). Again nothing. Some sort of hint would be good, to avoid a lot of erosion here.

We didn't find it, although we probably should have done our research. It's out of phone signal range and hard to see how it could survive below the tide mark. A ruggedly beautiful spot we would otherwise have bypassed but for geo caching. Thanks again to my friend Sophie who has inspired this holiday party of cacheurs.
Where the cache was has been eroded by wave/water action and more of the dirt and rocks behind it and along that stretch have been brought down. The rocks where it was have moved, I'd say by water action.
A pleasant stroll along the beach with the sun out and only a whisper of a breeze made this find particularly enjoyable today. TFTC
Thank you for bringing us here Goosebumpers, we had a lovely evening exploring the rocks, waterfalls and watching the waves. Did some swaps, Geoson very happy with his shining star.
Good spot to watch the waves pounding on both reefs but worried that the cache will be lost with a big sea, like the 6m swell a couple of weeks ago. Left a penny. TFTC
***FTF*** Second one in two days. I saw this published this morning so I was up early for a quick drive around the coast and a quick find in a lovely spot TFTC goosebumpers
