By Geocaching Australia on 24-Aug-11. Waypoint TP6003

A fun morning traipsing around Watsons Bay and Vaucluse chasing down lighthouse caches.

Rated: for Overall Experience

On a walk around the point and a few caches. (photo when we get home)

I was up this way with Its Dozzie and got the virtual as well as these two GCAs.

#GA5497 - 11:55; In Sydney for a few days with the geohoney and decided today to head to Watson's Bay for lunch at the pub. Arrived early, so headed out to the lighthouse for a wander and a spot of caching as well. I'd always thought it was further around than it turned out to be, so happy to finally get this one off the 'to do' list! TFTT Geocaching Australia

Sophoutloud and I met some friends over from New Zealand and took them for a bit of a walk around the coastline here, Wasn't aware that Lighthouses were also trigs until now but I guess it makes sense also. such a great spot

Headed to Sydney for weekend away with fitzy_1965.

We picked up both GC and GCA caches along the way.

Was able to use this lovely lighthouse for both GC & GCA purposes.

Thanks for bringing us here!

Out grabbing a few nearby trigs this afternoon after collecting a D5/T5 earlier in the day. Nice walk to South Head where we could see this one. 

Found this trig while out on a caching run through the Eastern Suburbs trying to progress my journey and get a few steps closer to the destination. Total haul for the day was 15 caches including 9 trigs, some GCA virtuals and a few GC caches.

This was my main target for the day - Hornby Lighthouse. A four in one find with a trig, Geocaching Australia virtual, GC.com virtual and the starting point of a GC.com multi cache! The journey to the lighthouse was amazing with great views, lots of history to explore and pretty blue fairy wrens darting here and there across the path. The lighthouse itself has one of the best views in the city. Sign me up as a lighthouse keeper please!!!! Snapped the required photos before spending some more time exploring here.

Thanks for the cache Geocaching Australia
GCA Find #185


Hoping this find will move me one step closer to the destination, be that either the blue tile or my goal of 100 trigs!

Got to Camp Cove just before 8am and had a nice walk along the path to the Light House with only a few people out for a morning walk. Great spot with a lovely old Lighthouse and some old gun emplacements to have a look at as well. TFTT.

This is one of the best "show Sydney to tourists" spots. We took my father-in-law (from Tassie) for a lovely walk around the area, and while there I noted this trig. We found it makes an interesting echo, with the waves sounding like they are crashing above you (rather than below you), if you stand on the path just south of the lighthouse. TFTT

Great day for a walk

Found this while waiting for the 'James Craig' to return to camera range

A very nice walk around South Head to reach this lovely spot. By the way this Hornby who designed the lighthouse is not related to Frank Hornby of Scalextric and Hornby train fame!
