Friday 13th June.
This morning while Gail had some free time to herself to do some cooking etc. I decided to do some geocaching. I confined my search area to the Lee Point peninsula and what a treasure trove of historical and interesting places my searching took me to.
Concealed in the dense jungle foliage just off a walking track adjacent to the beach I discovered several World War 2 historical observation posts, bunkers and fuel deposits.
One of the observation posts is still totally intact. A total of six of these bunkers were built in February 1940, located within the Casuarina Coastal Reserve and were an integral part of the coastal defence network. After taking the obligatory photos I resumed my geocaching activities, finding 8 out of 9 in about 2-1/2 hours.
Geocaching has proven once again to be an excellent vehicle for taking you to interesting, historical and picturesque places. A very enjoyable morning, all within 2 km's of our caravan park.
