A short walk to GZ along this stunning beach .. we learnt that today is a 'dodge tide', a natural but rare occurence where the tide neither goes out or in,..just stays at the same level all day.
The cache container is wet but the log book is ok. The location alone makes this a 'favourite' for us.
Thank you!.

We put in another book n pen in plastic zip bag as others were wet also put another zip bag on wet books hopefully wont get any wetter. Great spot for a cache!
TFTC Good cache! Took a little lookin but found it ok. Great view, well worth the walk!
We did the drive along the beach which was quite ok most of the time though I did get a bit nervous in the softer stuff . Bruce didn't though . Thanks Mr Walker
What a beach. Walked most of the way, very windy though. Easy find when we got there.
No swaps.
The walk was good enough.

Tried this one twice before, once in the dark, and once with limited time. This time, we had time, and were better prepared and can finally cross it off the list! TFTC TNLN
This was our first attempt but with Tweety2 the boys set off on the chace. Finally they found it after taking a short fast drive along the beach.

Thanks to the wackys for drying out and then returning the logbook. I will place the log book in the cache asap. Normally this cache is fairly watertight so it may be time to check the seals on it. I have also been placing all my log books in new ziplock bags, but must have missed this one.
Had fun making this one a drive-by, but sadly found it rather wet and mucky inside - luckily we had the car so could do some maintenance - cleaned it up as much as possible, though some things are still sandy as we didn't have much time as the tide was coming in - we replaced the log book as it was ruined and bagged everything - Mr Walker, let me know how you would like me to get the old log book to you - TFTC
found while camping 1km away. cache full of water,dried as much as we could but its all very wet.TNLNSL TFTC

What another beautiful walk along to the beach. Found the cache - no problem. No swap. Thank you Mr Walker for organise the cache and hunt.
We drove and got within 5 metres from cache, but parked about 15 metres away.
It's been a year since this cache was found, except by the owner.
where is everyone's sence of advernture, this place is great with only a few fishing boats out there.
Thanks again Mr Walker

As a wise man once said, "miracles do happen, especially when you least expect them." Was just doing a check on this cache, and found everything in order. Went to replace it, and heard the distinctive clunk of wood on tupperware. Scratched around and there, 30cms from new cache was the old one, well hidden by brush. It was also in good order, but about two metres from where it started. Because the original container is much better camouflauged and the new one did not have any log entries, I took the new cache away and will use in another location. This cache does not get much attention but it is a beautiful spot and hopefully may prove more popular over summer.
Now back in place with a similar sized container, full of goodies. Took the dog for a walk along the beach and fixed the cache at the same time. Has a new log.
Fraid there wasn't anything wrong with your eyesight, Fuerx. I checked today and it seems to have gone missing. It would have been hard to stumble on accidentaly, so possibly went the way of a couple of other well hidden local caches. I will replace soon with a similar cache in the general GZ. he most annoying thing is the loss of the log book,.They always make interesting reading, and I check them each time I look in on a cache.
OH well i didnt find it was a nice walk along the beach on this cool day and with sun shining warming things up, is the cache still there? i guess so, i proberly didnt look hard enough but spend plenty of time looking, well maybe some other day , onto the next cache.
Thanks Mr Walker ("i think")

great cache unfortunately for us it was high tide so we had a bit of a walk,saw some interesting stuff on the way.A pair of size 8 Rossi boots minus their owner and a very large dead tuna. thanks Mr Walker good stuff.
Being lowish tide and hard sand it was no problem to drive right up to the cache site. A bit of looking was required to spot the cache. Took Tech-deck and left roll of electrical tape.

Found by Team GeoCoopers.
As with Captain Moonlight, parked away off and enjoyed the walk along the beach to the cache. A gust of wind filled my eyes with sand while crouched down filling out the log book [B)] Wind blown sand can be seen in the photos I took, not the best place to be on a windy day. Oh well...
Thanks Mr Walker

With Captain Moonlight under our belt, off we went to find Confucious. This is how we like it, four wheel drive to within metres of the cache, not too much sandhill climbing involved, would have been better if we could have reached the cache from the car window.... Found WRX Syncromesh TB and took it home with us, took the stickers (was it OK to take the whole sheet?) left some very attractive yellow wool which is ideal for marking socks so your kids don't wear them. Memo Mr Walker: would have preferred a bright yellow tupperware container. Could not get the Confucious reference, no doubt someone will tell us. Crikey, a couple more caches and we'll be able to put out one of our own. Great fun this.

Having taken T.B. Wrx synchronous into visit the Pt. Lincoln Subaru Dealer, thought I would drop him(?) off in one of my caches. This one seemed the best because it requires a bit of offroading to get to it. Hopefully, he will provide an extra incentive, and won't stay here too long.
Woohoo two virgin caches in one afternoon!! Drove almost right to this one along the beach ( fluked a low tide ),can see why mr walker recommends low tide for this but think it could be done with extra care by competent 4wders at high tide (watch out for the rocks either way).
took wallet
left tech deck mini dude (from captain moonlights cache)
thanks again mr walker
