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.
 
03-Jul-13
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.

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! Razz
 
22-Aug-12
Easy early morning find river looking magic before a hot day ahead
 
18-Aug-12
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 Wink
 
18-Aug-12
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.

Lovely spot .. thanks for taking us here ..TFTC

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.
 
09-Jul-12
how micro is micro?
 
07-Jul-12
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.
 
03-Jul-12
Found it, but unable to sign as log is saturated.

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 Smile

Easy find. Lake is pretty empty at the moment. Dissapointed that the log book is a soggy mess.
 
21-Nov-11
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.

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.

A very pleasant spot by the lake on a hot day. A quick find. TFTC Everlasting
 
15-Aug-11
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.
 
28-Jul-11
Found on our trip around Oz. Thanks for the hide.
 
26-Jul-11
Rescue of the geogrannies carried out here due to a miscalculation of distance walked.

18-Jun-11
Quick easy find this time. Too many muggles two years ago.
 
11-Jun-11
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 skipped the swim. TFTC from NZ.
 
26-Mar-11
Learners here didn't find it this time will try again another day! Smile
 
31-Dec-10
[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 Smile ]
 
08-Sep-10
hard to spot if you don't know what you're looking for
 
08-Aug-10
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
 
18-Jul-10
Nice area. A few families out enjoying the beautiful weather. Quick, easy find.
 
18-Jul-10
A few people enjoying the area but no one taking any notice of us. thanks Everlasting

19-Jun-10
Replaced the cache this morning, all is good now but beware of muggles because of a new bbq and picnic tables nearby.
 
11-Jun-10
Like the previous looker we couldn't find it !! Perhaps it's been muggled. Thanks anyway.
 
04-Mar-10
Had a good look around the right tree (we checked the photo later on) without any success. Have to be a DNF unfortunately.
 
07-Sep-09
Had to pretend to be a Botanist in order to retrieve this cache without arousing suspicion. TFTC
 
22-Aug-09
Decided it would not be practical to stop the cricket game that was taking place at GZ. Had to give it a miss.
 
18-Aug-09
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.

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
 
11-Jul-09
Another nice spot. Kununarra certainly has a few of them.
Thanks Everlasting
