Caches near light houses?

[+jgc3]

Hi,

 

I'm trying to put together an article which has a theme of caches placed near light houses..

 

Can anyone recommend any they have seen or know of please? Any help would be great.

 

Cheers

James

There is a light house at south west rocks NSW, but I am not sure if there is a cache near it.

Hi James,

 

There is GCWYTE at Byron Bay - It's a pretty famous/well known lighthouse. I think the cache is temporarily missing though.

If you do a geocache name search "Got a light boy" you'll find a series of lighthouse caches around the SW tip of England.

Yes I understand I have a few favourite caches I visited archived, so hope they make a return someday or perhaps someone else jumps in to put one nearby. Thanks for the reply.
