Little Shoal Bay

Geocaches: Le Roy-Al, Princess of the Bay

The Queen of Little Shoal Bay

Great new faces trying out our weekly geocaching! The weather was perfect, warm and sunny, reminding us that summer is just around the corner.

Geocaching was great too. We had some real fun doing the multi 2-stage geocache and finding the final. But the first geocache eluded us, even though we tried twice, the kids not wanting to give up. Somewhere in the picture below is where it's hidden. We'll have to try again some day.

Afterwards we went across the road to the beach, watching one of our cute toddlers making sand angels in the sand and the other kids patting the cute little (handbag) dogs on the BBQ. No the BBQ was not on and the dogs were not about to get grilled either!

Next month will be a little busy with school holidays, camp and labour weekend. Not sure if we can fit geocaching in, but we'll try!

Manhunt on the Caribbean!

Geocache: Manhunt on the Caribbean! (GCYPE0)

About 10 years ago, an armed suspect was seen entering Exeter Park, carrying what appeared to be a gun. This sparked a manhunt and the area was cordoned off with police helicopters circling overhead and the armed offenders squad moving in to capture the suspect.

This fun multi geocache re-enacted the manhunt and had us find various locations, pretending to be the armed officer squad.
