I’ve just posted on both Facebook as an event and Geocaching as an event a gathering atop the sand dunes at Stockton Beach.

This is a specialised Event Cache in which you will need either a beach buggy or a 4WD to access it. It would be possible to hike in from Lavis Lane if you were a fit type of cacher.
Stockton Sand Dunes - It's a big big place. Bring a GPS and a drink.
The aim is to turn up. Unfold your chair. Share around some food and enjoy a drink or two while watching the sun set with some good company.
Stockton Beach is 30km long and 2.5km wide. The Dunes are transgressive and move about 4-6m a year. It’s an amazing site and even better at dusk. So, a heap of random people with very little in common turn up, introduce themselves and sit around and chat while they enjoy a drink, share treats and watch the sun go down.
Relaxing on the beach with a beer, a mate and a bajabug. Makin memories.
The Beach Buggy Guys (and Gals) will be joining us for a while and they are camping most probably at Stockton Caravan Park over the weekend.
My contact number is 0411 444 334. My email address is mrhsie@gmail.com.
I suggest you organise via either this site or the facebook site to travel out onto the dunes in pairs or threes. Secondly you should reduce your tyre pressures and always carry a snatch strap. You also need a permit which can be purchased from the Metro for about $12 for the weekend or $30 for the year. Plenty of caches are nearby.
I will post the link to the event cache when it is approved.

Bronze. (aka Steve)
