I went there to check this morning and yes it is gone. That tree is always very popular with families. I have seen children climbing on the tree and I was afraid that the cache would be discovered. I believe that the cache needs to be moved to another location and I will talk to the owner.
Too much missing due to big families use this area so archive...
Many thanks to Bushies2 for maintence the cache while I am away...
Happy hunting.

After missing out on Celebrity tree park it was nice to have a nice easy find. Enjoyed the spot and the trees! TFTC
looking for something very small got folled by the picher had a little help but very good spot loved the swim .
What a lovely spot with a great view of the dam! And a great name, as well, 'Swim Beach'
Thanks and best regards, Struzinelle from Munich/Germany

A lovely spot on this lake! There was no-one swimming here at the time and I for one would be worried about the sharks!
Robbed of our campmobile we switched to a canoe for this afternoon and paddled down the river Ord towards the dam - what a different and soothing way to perceive the environment. Obviously we had to stop at swim beach to look for the cache
When I remember right this was the first cache "by boat" that we made so far. We enjoyed the canoe tour on the Ord a lot and on top of it, were rewarded by a cache as well. If our rented mobile home had been functional, we could have come here on four wheels as well. Unnoticed by the many muggles and muggle dogs on the beach we could quickly find and log this cache.
Auf unserer Reise von Perth nach Darwin haben wir hier einen Zwischenhalt eingelegt.
Den Cache haben wir schnell gefunden.

Not sure it was the dam, think the photo was the Diversion! Thanks for your encouragement Bushies2. Harder hunt than what we thought. Got us hungry for the next.
Yes the logbook was useless so we replaced the cache with a small 'tablet' bottle with new logbook, all is good now.
A beautiful afternoon but too cool to be swimming, not many people about so finding the cache was easy. Unfortunately the log is soaking wet and we were unable to sign it, sorry but as we had left the caravan behind we didn't have our repair gear or we would have left a new logbook.
Great lake tftc

A quick find and a top spot but a bit fresh for a swim this early in the morning. Thanks.
Lovely swimming and picnic spot. Nice park to walk on. It was my second day back
as there were often muggles and this morning at 7am no one was around so found it easier.
Thanks Everlasting

Replaced with a new logbook and clip lock bag, all is good now. Please do not bury the cache.
Easy find. Lake is pretty empty at the moment. Dissapointed that the log book is a soggy mess.
Quick find at night.
We also found a few tree frogs and a totaly soaked logbook...
The beginning of the wetseason was the end for the logs - therefore urgent replacement needed.

Killed two huge cane toads. Cache was hidden in it's normal spot but a mattress was lying over it. TFTC
Sorry for the delay in logging this - found while on a trip to NT to visit Racing Stripes (and then heading over to WA). This was a pretty easy find while exploring the area. TFTC
thanks for showing this location, but swimming was not possible at arrival due to the crocs.
Another quick easy find whilst taking the afternoon out to pick up a few caches.
A pretty area. TFTC. TNLN.

Quick find, a few muggles in the area - so a little stealth was required..!

Number 3 of 6 around Kununurra today. We cooled our feet in the lake and waited until the coast was clear before grabbing this one. No swimming here for us today but worth a visit nonetheless. Thanks Everlasting.
Great spot.
A friend from Darwin calls towing water skiers trolling up here. I trust there are no crocs to be trolled for in the lake.

Found at 1.35pm GAFF1. When we approached GZ there was a couple on the other side of the tree, so we just made it look as though we were interested in the plums that grew on the trunk and signed the log. They could not care less what we were up to.
Thanks Everlasting.
Thanks Everlasting.
Rescue of the geogrannies carried out here due to a miscalculation of distance walked.
Quick find but the original log was very wet and unable to be used.Logged on to the new sheet of paper.
2nd find for the day ... Went straight to it ... Nice spot but too cold to swim! T4TC
Didn't do the swim thing, but an easy find after the muggles had moved on. Took a few photos of a bird of prey flying about nearby as well. Cheers Gav [8864]
[We'll pass on the swim too thanks!
Didn't find this one on the initial pass, checked the hint which confirmed we were right, so had another crack, finding it after a brief search]
Wound up being buried pretty well in the dirt around the base - whether intentional or due to recent heavy rains I don't know, but we returned it as we found it
[Thanks for the cache ]

Got it second time around as muggles everywhere earlier in the day. Top spot. Thanks
The crocodile warning sign soon dispelled any thoughts we had about going for a swim. Nice place
A few people enjoying the area but no one taking any notice of us. thanks Everlasting
Looks like my log last month should have been a WNT (was not there ) instead of a DNF.Thanks to bushies2 for replacing the missing cache and TFTC
A nice quick find. Thanks for bringing me to the another nice location and the cache.
Went there today to replace the cache for Everlasting however the park was heavy with the muggles, will try again tomorrow or next weekend.
Replaced the cache this morning, all is good now but beware of muggles because of a new bbq and picnic tables nearby.
Like the previous looker we couldn't find it !! Perhaps it's been muggled. Thanks anyway.
Had a good look around the right tree (we checked the photo later on) without any success. Have to be a DNF unfortunately.
Had to pretend to be a Botanist in order to retrieve this cache without arousing suspicion. TFTC
Decided it would not be practical to stop the cricket game that was taking place at GZ. Had to give it a miss.
Finally found it on our second attempt. Some kids came over to us to play at the tree on our first visit. there were still alot of people on our second visit.
found at 0900 at long last visited site about three times previously twice girls sun bathing next to cache third day went down at 0600 to find two people asleep in there swags next to cache no problems today straight into it.

We have had a couple of tries at this one and each time someone has been sitting near GZ including the circus performers practicing which was a bit of a buzz. Today we were finally able to locate it, cache was well buried. Pretty little spot. TFTC
A quick find while grey nomads had morno’s nearby. Had to go back to the car to get a pen. TNLN. Thanks for another Kununurra cache Everlasting.
Up early this morning (still on Bundy time [XX(] ) so thought I would get out and grab a couple before breakfast, beautiful spot with no body around this early, good hide great spot. TFTC
Found it with Mr Bushies2, nice park and its very camo cache. Thanks for bringing me there.
Yay, FTF by Mr Bushies2, good hide with nice surroundings, brought Sevabo along with me. Thanks Everlasting for the hide.
