As there's been either no response from the cache owner, no cache to find or log to sign, or it's been a number of months since the last owner note. I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace/make available the cache sometime in the near future (next 30 days), just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the current guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it. Should you replace the cache after 30 days has passed please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.

found the cashe on the ground the camos construction indicated where it came from located its rightful hiding place and replaced it unfortunately the micros log is full great clever camo tftc
 
06-Dec-12
We did not realise this one was unavailable until we read the log, hoping for an extra hint.
 
04-Aug-12
Cache has gone! Will think about if to rebuild or not!
 
24-Jul-12
Will disable this one until i can confirm its demise Sad
 
29-Jun-12
No luck today. Pretty sure we know exactly what we were looking for too. And by the way, the snails are real!! Thanks.
 
27-May-12
Will get this one next time.
 
22-Apr-12
Yay! I can't believe how low I have had to stoop in this caching business all in the name of fun (but yes, I'm hooked). What a neat idea. Thanks Caching Camerons for this sneaky cache. p.s. I seriously hope no one saw what I was doing....
 
15-Apr-12
Well done Team M-B great find. I have enjoyed our night caching adventures in Denmark, Thanks.
 
15-Apr-12
7.50pm w/CreightonCrew. Final cache for the night and what a RIPPER it was! TFTC
 
24-Mar-12
Not all that many options once we read the hint, but no cache to be found..
 
28-Feb-12
Sometimes you win; and sometimes you don't. With the extra pair of eyes from gerrynewgirl, this one still eluded our endeavours. We're not often baffled by a micro or a nano in a good spot, but this one had us stumped. We did however enjoy a long chat with an elderly local lady, but the cache is still a DNF for us.
 
28-Feb-12
I was sure it was there, but no more time to spend looking, I like a challenge too. TFTC.
 
18-Feb-12
My final cache for the day on the way home.

I attempted to stop for this one on the way to Albany but literally every house/shop out the front of GZ had people out the front gardening, moving building supplies or chatting, tail between my legs, I headed back to the car and continued on my way to Albany.

This afternoon my luck had returned. With the locally happily tucked up in their houses I was free to wander, ponder and wonder about the location of this tricky little hide. About 20mins after arriving cache was in hand and signed. A funky little hide indeed.
 
07-Feb-12
tricky little cache.
 
24-Jan-12
On holiday from the UK with my brother, who found this one. Thanks for the hide
 
23-Jan-12
Looked in evry possible spot. The clue did not make any sense.
 
14-Jan-12
We discovered this one quickly after reading the hint.
Clever way of hiding... Wink
TFTC
 
20-Dec-11
We were in the right place, had the clues, but it didn't come together this time. On reflection I think I know where to try looking again though. Laurelwood of Torbay is pleased we didn't find it first go as it took her three visits Smile
 
22-Nov-11
couldn't find this one despite 3 pairs of eyes. you got us.
 
12-Nov-11
at long last we found this one our third attempt.thanks to reading all other logs the penny dropped.

30-Oct-11
Very cheeky the wife figured it out
 
30-Oct-11
Too many different thoughts and people running all over the place didn't make a good start. Eventually 1/2 the team sat down to think about the previous logs and the various clues. Then all became clear. Very well hidden and relatively easy to find - eventually.
We were a bit taken back when the shop owner came and asked us if we had found it yet, and a car pulled up and asked us if we were geocaching. Not too many muggles around here by the looks of it.

My son and I had the right idea to start with but didn't find what we were looking for. Took a few setbacks until daughter in law got the smarts !! Very well thought out. Thanks for the fun. ;o)
 
08-Oct-11
This one is doing my head in! I'm sure I know what it is I'm looking for (given the clue) but still can't find it. I'll blame it on our impatient 4 year old Wink we'll be back!!!
 
07-Oct-11
Our last find during our 4 day stay in Denmark. We stopped in a t the shop, treated ourselves to an ice cream and went in search for the cache. The clues led us to GZ and after much searching it was located. Very clever camo. Thanks and a tasty end to the week.
 
02-Oct-11
Very well made Cache, the best example i've seen of this breed!!

TFTC



 
29-Sep-11
Had a look for this one this morning but came away thinking DNF. However Lady Avago had a flash of inspiration and we stopped for an icecream and a second look this arv. She was right on the money and we soon had it in hand.
Thanks Caching Camerons
 
13-Aug-11
Another find on our Yallingup-Manjimup-Pemberton-Albany week away. Time for Ice Cream, sat down and licked our Ice creams, GeoWife found this eventually, nice camo SL TFTC
 
17-Jul-11
with a little help from our friends we found this one!!
 
17-Jul-11
We all loved this one. I could see we have all done this in some stage in our lives. Well done CACHING CAMERONS.
 
11-Jul-11
Well we bought our icecreams, and after a very lengthy talk with the owner about the water level in the inlet, we headed over to the cache zone to try our luck. With not very high expectations we were rapt when geoboy came through, and spied it. Great fun, thanks. TNLN.
 
22-Jun-11
We had been warned about this cache, so it was with some trepidation that we approached the area. This proved to be misguided, as the the very well desigised cache was soon located.
Nice hide.
Thanks, Robmc.
 
22-Jun-11
Roymerc had told us to do this one so we deviated slightly off our direct route
to give it a go.
Your instructions of where not to search were spot on and narrowed our area
of attack.
Rob eventually spotted it.
Well concealed but we have seen a couple like it before which helped.
 
11-Jun-11
Found at 1.05pm GAFF3 (as GZ was a massive 13 metres away for us today)
Once we got to where we should have been looking an item caught our attention and an extremely well disguised nano was retrieved. Never seen one of these before and well executed.
Thanks Caching Corners.
 
02-Jun-11
A sod of a cache to find even with all the clues. It cost me four icecreams to "chew it over". The store owner should be paying the Caching Camerons a bonus.
 
02-Jun-11
Finally, (and only after getting precise directions from a generous owner), I can say FOUND IT! This little monster has eluded duckrunner and me for at least a year. The only benefit has been the icecreams we bought as a cover for the frantic searching. The Young's Siding Store will now have to wear a significant drop in profits. The log book is full, but I've emailed the owner with thanks and a photo of the cache and scroll as proof of finding.

This is one of the best camouflage jobs I've seen, and I give it a well earned favourite point.
 
10-May-11
We pulled up and there was a builder working on his house not too far away and for a little while we thought that we may not even be able to look for this one. Fortunately the hide was well outside his field of vision leaving us free to search. We were starting to think that this was going to be a dnf when Diane noticed something similar to a hide we have at home and only seconds later we were signing the log.
Thanks Caching Cameron's for a fun cache and the history lesson
 
10-May-11
Lovely little spot for lunch. Sat just in the right place for an easy find Smile
 
10-May-11
Another log is required as the one in the cache is full
 
10-May-11
I had fun finding this one thanks to the description being very good that I succeeded that made me feel good thanks for the cache
 
09-May-11
Was out this way and wefounit2 told us to find this one as they had already done it. One of our younger team members was on to it pretty quickly but made her twin get it as she did not want to touch it.TFTF
 
25-Apr-11
Great idea! TFTC!
 
24-Apr-11
Nice little hide... loved it... the Geomissus felt "dirty" after finding the cache. Had to wash her hands when we got back to the car. TFTH.
 
19-Apr-11
Well you nearly had us Caching Camerons. Stopped to buy Ice cream and sat and had to think. Found by Mr Felix once Mrs Felix had the AHA moment and decided what we were looking for. TFTC Caching Camerons, pleased we did not need to use a 'lifeline' for this one.
 
05-Apr-11
we had an idea of what it could be but no luck finding it. our co-ords put us on open ground so nothing to do with clues DOH!
 
05-Apr-11
We looked every where but we never noticed the cryptic clue until we are now home....maybe next time we will find it
 
06-Mar-11
Found on our second visit after a hint from a friend
TFTC
 
06-Mar-11
found by geo bro
 
Found on second go after rereading all the bits. Took a friend who was most helpful and most amused and most interested. Thanks for a good excuse for an ice cream.
 
15-Feb-11
clever hide TFTC
 
14-Feb-11
nice cache found it after being at Cape Howe cottages for the weekend.
 
23-Jan-11
tftc. ingenious design, we were a little unsure whether to touch it or not Razz lucky we sat there and chewed it over.
 
21-Jan-11
TFTF. Had fun finding it. Our second nano - can't believe how small they are. Lovely day driving around Cape Howe area.
 
16-Jan-11
Smile Brilliant hide. Nearly didn't wanna touch it.
 
05-Jan-11
Finally after 4 goes at this one we found it, party time. I still don't see how we missed it the other times but it is over now. Thanks for the help guys.
 
01-Jan-11
sneaky good resting spot, tftf
 
25-Dec-10
A quick find. TFTH
 
19-Dec-10
Found on ground, hopefully replaced where it should be. Thank you.
 
18-Nov-10
Met some nice muggles riding their pushbikes around Australia. They ended up helping us look as our GPS was jumping about. Think we may have converted them as they already knew about geocaching. SL TFTC NB: Log is full.
 
16-Nov-10
Great hide!!!! The log will need replacing after the next log! TFTC!!!!
 
14-Nov-10
The co-ords landed quite away from the cache.
Found it in the end.
`*~TFTC~*`
 
14-Nov-10
Having a bit of trouble with the co-ords so have added to the hint until i can get a better set of co-ords for it.
 
06-Oct-10

05-Sep-10

20-Aug-10
Thanks Camerans i've finely got one of yours. Very nice indeed.
 
10-Jun-10
Found last night, after dropping some kids of here on the bus run, but didn't fill the log till this morning. Clever hide geowife caught onto the clue.
 
16-May-10
Finally found this little critter. TFTH
 
09-May-10
Went an extra few Km's down the road after visiting the inlaws and finally got the cache. Had made a couple of quick visits before but didnt want to alert the shop owners by hanging around too long..

Thanks For The Crafty Cache.

Nasty, disgusting and tricky little nano... hate these things... although this one made me smile, eventually. Took a few minutes to digest the clue. Got there in the end. Cheers from Sydney.
 
31-Mar-10
I feel very guilty logging this one. We thought that we were moving forever west but due to mechanical problems with the bike we needed to return to Albany. Thankyou very much for the hint, I am not at all sure how we missed it. I sure it was not there before LOL. SL TFTC
 
21-Mar-10
Our co-ords landed us in the middle of the grassed area in front of a GUM tree. Yes we thought we have it!!
After a long hunt we realised we didn't..... and our co-ords were out somewhat. Found it in the end!!!
 
19-Mar-10
This one has us stumped!!! we don't normaly walk away from a cache until we find it, no five minute rule with us. Thanks anyway.
 
06-Mar-10
Without luck at this one, searched everywhere, . Readings were moving around erratically, eventually gave up.
 
17-Jan-10
First for the day...This one did start to frustrate us a bit as the co-ordinates did seem out a bit.
But we decided to sit down and chew over things and we came up trumps.we found it and top points for the hide
 
07-Jan-10
Another superb cache that still hasn't lost its flavour even after all this time. Thanks again, to the Cameron family for bringing us to this area.
 
06-Dec-09
clever

#1 of 22. Great hide, we enjoyed it. Luckily no-one about at 8 am although the owner of the nearby shop checked us out.
 
14-Nov-09
What a sneaky little find. We bought a couple of icecreams at the shop then wandered around the area looking for GZ. I think the store keeper was none the wiser
 
14-Nov-09
Thanks Cruznoz for the icecream!!!! I liked this one well done!
 
14-Nov-09
Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SO wanted to add to it *grins*
TFTC
 
14-Nov-09
Great to be out and about today in this fine weather. TFTC have never stopped here but always wanted too!
TFTC Signed Log. Cheers
 
10-Nov-09
This was a real good one - we chewed it over while we were having our lunch. Felt very satisfied when we had the find. Thanks Caching Camerons
 
01-Nov-09
Found previously as one of the “Rainbow Coasters”.
 
01-Nov-09
The first of four for the afternoon following the “Camerons†trail out to Nullaki. Had a quick look, sat down and read the info and bingo, found it easily. Knew this and the others apart from “Belle’s would be camo’s. A clever hide and goes to show the “Camerons†are up there on the honour board with the rest of the Albany’s camo masters.

We started our day with a brilliant Camerons camo and we ended it with this one which was equally so. Our family has an historical connection to this area as my great grand father owned and operated the Young Siding store from 1924 to 1948 at which time my grandfather took it over. At around that time the horse and cart were being overtaken by the car and my grandfather recognized that the store would not be as lucrative as it had been and hence in 1952 sold out and moved into business in Albany.
Thanks for a great hide
 
19-Oct-09
Thanks for the feedback! Another team has also had trouble with the co-ords so will try to updated them a.s.a.p.
 
18-Oct-09
The shop keeper seemed to take an instant interest in us when we started hunting. We are not sure why - maybe they had spotted others in the vicinity beforehand. Eventually a customer came and required her attention so we recommenced a furious search but were a bit troubled by the coords. When the customer left we sat back down again and phoned a friend who was able to confirm that the coords are a bit out and that the obvious structure is the hiding spot. He then asked if we had looked at the clue. As soon as the next customer arrived the hunt recommenced and the find was made.

An excellent hide - the CC's excel once more. We did use the clue which made for a much easier find, and would strongly advise future searchers to go straight to the cover of the obvious structure to avoid any more surveillance like we experienced.
 
10-Oct-09
Ran out of time yesterday after touring the Nullaki due to Mrs Clyde needing the car.... Bummer.

Headed out this morning to pick up the remaining cache. When we got there we found a whole bunch of others already looking. Luckily I came across it just as we were all about to give up.
Also luckily no-one else had signed the log yet either ... bonus.
And of course I did the neighbourly thing and signed the log for that other bunch who couldn't find it.
 
10-Oct-09
so this bunch looked and looked and looked again and then were joined by the clydes who also looked and looked and looked some more until we were all about to give up. then mr clyde had another gander at a spot mr bottsbunch had gandered at several times already and he magically found the cache which i'm sure wasn't there before..... honest!!!!

awesome hide camerons - left us in tears at the ultimate simplicity of it all.
