Geocache Description:

This cache is dedicated to the legendary 'Bluey' the Groper, a charismatic Blue Groper known to the locals of Clovelly and the surrounding bays since ~1960's.  While some believe he was killed by spear-fishermen in 2002, others claim to have sighted the same groper in later years - leading to his second title "Elvis of the Sea'.

The cache is conveniently located on the northern side of Gordon's Bay, within walking distance of Clovelly Beach (free parking on the peninsula nearby).  Cache is not a park-and-grab, despite appearing to fall on the edge of the cliff walk - site is best accessed by walking west along the rocky foreshore from the southern end of Victory St.  Both Clovelly Bay and Gordon's Bay are excellent snorkelling sites, the latter of which has an 'underwater trail' that can be followed in a circuit around the bay. While this cache is available 24/7, I would strongly advise against searching for this cache at night due to the nature of the terrain. At a very high tide, it is possible some wading may be required to reach ground zero (depending on your rock hopping prowess!). No wading required at other times.

Did you know that NSW has a geocaching association? Geocaching NSW aims to enhance and improve the activity of geocaching and holds regular events where geocachers meet to enjoy their common interests. Visit the association website here.
