We have been working from information stored in our GSAK database and hadn't realised this cache had been archived - well it is still there! Fortunately it didn't take too long to locate the cache as it wasn't much fun in the 40 deg heat of the day. We were returning to Perth after a few days in Albany and had decided to take a different road home. Maybe on another visit to Western Australia we will be past this way again and will have more time to explore the area. Thank you for having placed the cache the robots.
Sorry this hasn't been checked. Haven't had time for a while, and probably won't in the near future, so easier to archive it, so someone else can plant a nice one here.
This needs to be checked by CO. This is the 2nd one I've looked for but seems to be muggled.
Start of my day trip out east. Looked all over including where the hint says to look but could not find it. Seems to be muggled like the Northam one.
I first searched for this with Team M-B and then again yesterday but I can not find it..
Stopping by after a skydive. Reasonably quick find once nearby muggles disappeared, tfth
On holiday from the UK with my brother. I used to live within 20 miles of York in the UK, a much older and larger City than this one, which we enjoyed visiting. Thanks for the hide
Last cache for the day... seem stranger about nano but there with note paper plus biro in the plastic bag??? Need check up... Thanks. The Robots.
Thanks for the cache..........Quick pick up whilst dropping Daughter and her friend in York......"Merry Christmas"............
Was expecting the sneaky nano, not what we eventually found!!! TFTC 1 of 3 found around York on a short camping trip.
Decided to walk from castle hotel and ended up going the long way round! However family angst was appeased with a quick find. We were expecting the sneaky nano.
Great one to get started with. All the kids were excited to find it...off to the next one now!
Didn't read the logs before we started the search, spotted something and had a look. Yep that's the cache! SL TFTC
I was initially looking for the wrong container, perhaps I should have read the logs or description a bit more closely. I saw the cache when I arrived but dismissed it as being something else as I was looking for a magnetic container.
I returned to it after coming up empty and examined it more closely. Yes it was the cache and there was the magnetic nano inside, mmm.

Had trouble finding til previous logs told me its no longer a nano nor magnetic. Please update the cache description and maybe the container! Tftc! Nice day for York!
Went back for a second look today knowing what to look for (after checking out pics) and it must be gone???
We scanned and searched... even checking out the ground... nothing

After triumpantly finding our first cache 30 mins earlier we thought we would try finding this one too... nothing... we searched high and low, back and front... scanned every inch even looking side on etc...
After looking at a couple of pics will go back tmw and try and find again!!!

Me, Dad and Mum had fun taking a couple hours on a sunday afternoon to go for a drive with our dogs and go find more geocaches!
Also got a bit confused looking for magnetic nano.. Good spot, quick easy find. Hard not to look a little conspicuous from the road! TFTC
Found it however I was expected well hidden nano but found nano cache in plastic bag with some swap in obvious place (missing the point of nano cache).
Left in the same condition as found but owner may re-hide it ...
Thanks anyway.

Easy cache as you approach the York township. First of a couple for the day with the kids.
Found our first one ....so excited ...easy to navigate once you know what your doing and looking for
Hello there,
I only joined geocaching a couple of days ago and found out that there are some caches near me in and around York.
I went and looked for my first cache today and found it at the information road stop. Also I was the first to write on the cache. It was a bit high for me but finally I got it down and filled it out.
It made my day and I look forward to finding more tomorrow hopefully.
Cheers

Found easy enough (using the hint). The thing is not vert magnetic anymore and I
nearly lost it, so I put something somewhere in case the next cacher is not so lucky. TFTC

Found this one whilst on our way home from Congelin after the long weeknd. We found the cache on our way home. We were camping in our tent for the long weekend. Would like to let you know that as usual it lived up to it's reputation of Ice in the morning. There was ice on the outside of our tent, on picnic table and on our windscreen. We each had 2 sleeping bags though and were as warm as toast. Not so our camping buddies! Amazed to see all the trees damaged from the storm earlier this year. Log was full so we replaced it.

A quick find as I passed by on my way to Esperance. Log needs replacing. TFTH SL
Was in York for night of camping with Kooksta and decided to stop at this one on the way back. We didn't see much of the info board as I found it in the first place I looked...
Sorry, I didn't have my geocaching pack with me otherwise I would have replaced the log for you Miles.
TFTH!

We had to use patience here waiting for fellow travelers to have their breaks. Even broke out the thermos and made a cuppa, planned the route out of town etc and Sussed out possible hide spots from a distance while we waited for others to move on. Finally got our hands on it and signed the log. Tftc
Strike-a-light was quick to find this one, I think he might be getting used to little nanos!
8th and last cache for the day.Took us a while but eventually found it. Log needs replacing as it is full. TFTC.
On the way to Hyden, we stopped shortly for the cach. Fast found!

Found by Ackermat and family. Tiny as it was and not being tall enough this was a good find. It is in need of some more paper as I was the last one to fill it up.
2nd cach on my 5 day holiday around the southwest WA geocaching
Nice spot ezy to find

A quick find on our 4WD geocaching holiday. Came through just as the cyclone struck - trees down everywhere! TFTC
WanderingAus wandered by en route to the 10th Anniversary Back To The Bush Veterans' Reunion at Bruce Rock, and with the coords 7 metres off took quite some time making a GAFF 0 find. Reading the cache description would have had me closing in a lot quicker, but where's the fun in that.
My find No 3238, TNLNSL.

realitively easy find as i am reasonably tall. Hol may have had a bit of trouble reaching it though. found after a while of waiting as muggles around
We had a short look and then resorted to the hint which then pointed us in right direction. We made ourselves a cuppa here to have in the car on the way home. TFTH
You know how it is, you pull up to an empty Information Bay, you haven't seen a soul all day and just as you begin to look for a cache along come all those pesky tourist who just need to read everything on the board. Luckily they didn't have a flask or morning tea with them so we were able wait them out. A quick recovery thanks for the cache.
We searched high and low, east & west but to no avail. This one eluded us completely....arghhhhh! Very frustrating!
A quick stop, lots of Harleys passing by at the moment. Had a great day up here today. TFTC
Thought I was going to go through York without finding any of the caches I had allocated to myself.
Almost gave this one up for dead, yet I came up trumps just before another set of muggles came through.
Had to wait another ten minutes in order to replace.

Found on a day out to York. We haven't been here for three years so it was great to see some new caches in the offing.
tfth. had to come back to this one as there were 3 cars there first time, one parked right at the sign in it's shade!
That is the smallest cache we have ever seen and ever likely to see! Senior juniorgeocacher found it without even knowing!
That's what I call nano! We have never come across one like that before, now we know.

Yay another 3rd to find on a cache run to york and back and another 5 of the_robots caches done of the list [:p]. Managed to get to the GZ on the way out of town and there was no one around, quickly had the cache in hand, returned to the car to sign the log and next thing I know 6 cars pulled in and about 15 muggles were at the GZ
Had to bide our time as we stood,watched and waited for the appropriate moment to replace the cache whilst there was still a good 10 muggles in the vicinity but we werent spotted and we were soon back in the car and off home we went.
the geodaughter slept the entitre way back to perth, caching is a very good way to tire the kids out
SL TFTC {:D] and another 5 of the_robots caches found, logged and 5 more smilies to the list.
