Snapper Rock GC1D7J5

Description:

A nano cache tucked away in a quiet corner of Beachlands.Would recommend the lower side of the tide for this one, You can access the cache any time but access to the view is a couple of steps in shallow water in high tide.Known locally as “snapper rock” is a popular fishing spot. The path down is recently upgraded with easy to manage steps, although steep it’s not too long and shouldn’t be a problem for any age.Water is crystal clear and great for swimming (when the water isn’t so cold). The “rock” itself is great to explore and slowly disappearing!You are looking for a disguised nano cache with only a log sheet (bring a pencil)

Easy to find Nano and Micro multi cache.

After a long day geocaching, it’s not just your car that needs refueling! This urban cache is located at “The Hub” final cache location is short walking distance to half a dozen or so fast food restaurants and a short drive over to Botany shopping center.

WP1 is a nano containing coordinates to the final micro cache. Sorry no room for trades in this one.

Have a pit stop and track this one down

Stones throw (Auckland) GC18B74

Thursday, January 3rd, 2008

S 36° 52.869 E 174° 59.646
Placed: 3 January 2008
Geocaching.com: GC18B74
Directions to: Stones throw (Auckland) GC18B74

Stones throw is located in the bush area just up the bank of Sunkist Bay Beach but no goat legs are required to get to this micro cache as there is a walkway that leads from the beach up to the cache location.

Andy was in full blow camo mode when he thought of this cache, hopefully you will enjoy tracking it down as much as he enjoyed constructing and placing it :)

Description:
Walkway to beach
This is a micro cache containing a log sheet and pencil
Located at the end of a walkway down to the beach.
Public toilets and children’s play area are a stones throw away from the cache site (but behind tree line).
This is a great area for the whole family to visit especially during the summer; plenty of parking, amazing views and walks, enclosed beach for swimming
