Attempting to complete the first geohash in Adelaide in nearly 2 and a half years!

Location

On the beach north of Port Willunga, best accessed from Tuitt Road. Looks like there are some geocaches around the area, too.

Plan

Cycling down from the Noarlunga Centre station (~1 hour ride) from the train arriving at 12:17 or 12:47.

Expedition

Left a little bit later (to the tune of 2 hours) than planned because of laziness. Took the train from Oaklands to Noarlunga, spent a while roaming around Noarlunga on my bike (having forgotten how it was laid out) finding the way to Commercial Road, then took a detour through Seaford and Moana—initially looking for a public toilet, but found a nice bike path along the coast to Moana too. Locked my bike at a carpark overlooking the beach, then walked down the final 200 or so metres. Arrived on the beach right at the traditional 4 PM meetup time (completely by chance, not that I expected to meet anyone), then looked for a geocache around where I put my bike, but left quickly because it was getting dark (early sunsets snuck up on me).

  The hashpoint is somewhere in the middle there, just in the grass off the beach.

• 

  There's supposed to be a geocache just here.

  Close enough to a cheesy grin!

  GPS at hash point.
