Description
A beautiful spot that you pass by quickly, yet should stop to admire
Taking my inspiration from Tasmanias most prolific hider this is another 'bypassed town' cache. However...this one isn't bypassed. The highway goes straight through. Unless you stop and have a walk around though it's hard to appreciate.
This cache is in an area in plain sight of the highway and fairly constantly occupied by muggles walking or fishing during the day. So please take care when retrieving it.
Take your time on this and enjoy one of the most beautiful coastlines you will find anywhere.
I remember the days when the structure the cache is on was still in use. Encountering a truck coming the other way was always a fun experience.
Have fun and please rehide EXACTLY as you find.

I remember driving across this bridge and shortly after starting a 3 week run in this area, they opened the other bridge.
TNLNSL. Thanks Aloysius

I think this cache makes #500...
We remember spearing around 70 flounder one night, directly under and along to the east of the 'new' structure, before it was built, many years ago!! And then wondered what the heck we were going to do with them all.
It was okay - the whole caravan park where we were staying enjoyed BBQ'd flounder for breakfast!
Thanks aloysius - for the cache and the memories!
The lid was amazingly difficult to remove, but I eventually got in and signed the log.
In the end it was retrieved by myself while Horus distracted the fishermuggles by doing the photo thing.
Cache seems to be in good nick, good hide!!
Thanks for the cache!
Please somebody tell me that it is NOT there so that the Chastisement was at least worth it!!!
Thanks a bruised BUT chastised Acko
GPS coords spot on and reckon it was in the first place I looked. Don't reckon I have been over this in 20 years.
Believe the restaurant of the same name in the vicinty has great meals and cheap beers too.
TNLN - car so full of crap, no hope of finding anything useful!
Thanks Mr A!
Thank you though Aloysius 7 for a perspective that I had forgotten. el golco will get it next time!!!
The structure was sending the arrow all over the place, however despite being a beautiful sunny Sunday lunchtime there were no muggles to ruin the hunt. TNLN. Thank you! I would have assumed no one would be allowed in this area, however I'm glad we are and that you showed it to. Take time to watch the water!
Lots of fishermuggles and joggermuggles and walkermuggles... add that to the fact that I was looking for something elss all means a big fat DNF.
we come this way quite often, so I'll have another looksy then.
