Legend has it that the Pirate Benito “Bloody Sword” Bonito brought a great treasure from Peru to Queenscliff. A Stash made up of Gold Statues, Crosses, Chalices, Emeralds, Diamonds, Rubies, 4,000 Doubloons of Spain marked 8, Gold and Silver weighing more than 250 pounds. The Pirates came ashore, buried the treasure in a cave and sealed the entrance with explosives.
Not long after passing out through Port Phillip Heads they were spotted by a warship which gave chase. A running battle followed and the ship was captured. Bonito took his own life instead of facing the gallows.
If the story is to be believed the "captain's cut" of Benito's treasure, valued at over $300 million today, is still hidden somewhere on or around Queenscliff, Victoria. Since 1901 many have looked, who will be first to find?
Stage two - It's like looking for a black needle, on black carpet in a dark room with a blindfold. It's not little, but it's not a cache.
When the time comes to enter the waves.
I've been told it's about 71 metres away.
It tells you where to find the onshore Log!.
