We spotted one pelican in the finding of this cache. It was flying in low and looking to make a majestic landing on the water.This cache took us two efforts to find. The first only moment ago was aborted when the path we were following came to an abrupt end. We stopped and consulted Google Earth and realised there was a much better angle of approach than the one were were on. So we back tracked a little.Once we had translocated a little we could see a much better approach. We had a choice to make near the end, but chose the waters edge to follow. Before long the GPSr pointed towards a logical place. The cache was located a short time later.The caches log was a little damp, which we thought odd given the type of container in use here. We put our marks on the log and put everything as it was. We then headed back towards the car, along the shore so as to look at the possibility of giving our earlier did not find a chance to be otherwise.Princess_lela we thank you for place such a cache as this in such a location as this for use to find.

Thought I was muggle free. Pushed my way out of the bushes onto the beach to see a man standing a few meters away with a super puzzled look on his face. tftc!

A couple of muggles on the beach with quizzical looks. They lost interest completely when I told them that I was geocaching. Hide located soon after. TFTF!

Accidently logged on this cache instead of my previous find to start with so thought I better go and get this one now. All good here but unfortunately the anniversary TB is not there. Sad
I was looking forward to picking it up as it is my 25th Anniversary this month.
Anyway tftc, I really enjoyed the quiet location on my own after dealing with a teen outrage earlier in the day.

Found this cache on a beautiful afternoon walk.
Thanks CO for maintenance check.
Cache is in good condition and coordinates.
Maybe not leaving sharp object inside the cache. I pinched my finger in a needle/safety pin, left inside the cache.
I removed the needle/safety pin out of the cache.
It’s safe for kids now.
Great location
 
09-Feb-20
Geocache is still in location Smile not muggles after all. I did however, fill it up with a few new goodies and added a new log book. Also hid it a bit better as it was a bit exposed. happy geocaching evveryone! remember to swap - if u take something, add something Smile

26-Sep-19
Found a pen and some sandwich bags but no ammo tin. Either I’m blind or it’s not here.

Great spot to come out to, though.

TFTH!

We headed to this cache after finding another nearby. The route taken wasn't the best and we got a bit bogged down in sand on occasion. The coordinates were spot on though I only realised where the cache was when I stood on top of it. Oops! TFTC
 
24-Mar-19
Great day for a walk to the point, nice hide in a great location. Thanks
 
13-Jan-19
Enjoyed the foreshore walk this morning and came across a few students doing research on the impact of foraging swans on the esturine flora and fauna. Must say: these are Path's favourites. Thanks Princess_Leia
 
10-Jan-19
Don't know how I missed this one on the first pass. Quickly found. TFTH.
 
01-Jan-19
Indeed this cache has been muggled. Luckily we found the empty ammo can and put a temporary log sheet inside. I've hidden it as well as I could, hopefully that will keep it safe. TFTC
 
01-Jan-19
As it happens, it seems that the last geocacher to find this cache "atcatpacity" thankfully found the ammo can, and the one before this, "chrismerry" found the contents scattered and replaced the container with a temporary plastic one. Because of the kindness of these people in salvaging the geocache and its contents, we may now have 2 geocaches that are both "point to the pelicans" in the same area within a few metres, one plastic one with the original contents, and one ammo can with a brand new log. Once university starts again in a few weeks, i will stop by and see if i can locate and consolidate the geocaches, meanwhile, if anyone finds both containers, can you please combine them for us? thank you again geocaching community.
 
01-Jan-19
i want to take this opportunity to thank all the people who have found this geocache and posted a photo of themselves, their kids, or their dog enjoying the find. its when i see this that maintaining this geocache feels all worth it. Bless you all.
 
01-Jan-19
Found the amo tin. Not sure about the plastic container previously mentioned. Tftc. Happy new year
 
01-Jan-19
