Due to this cache being replaced on a number of occasions and constant muggle problem this cache has now been achived
I fear for this cache. Looked twice now and could not find. I do recall street cleaners/litter pickers in this area only a few weeks ago.... either that or im blind.
Had a quick look for the cache on the way home to Kalgan River Caravan Park. A quick easy find for this one. TFTC
Not sure we found this in the correct place but returned it to where we found it. TFTC
Cycling in the area, we stopped to did this cache, an easy found but the logbook is very wet. TFC
Found with William the Wanderer. TFTC

Have looked at getting this a few times but every time it appears it has gone walkabouts! Not this time! Yay
Thanks for the cache!
Thanks for the cache!
Nice easy find. Cache had a bit of water inside it. Pity, as the brand new logbook was a bit damp. Have dried out the container placed log and pencil inside a ziplock bag.
Tagged along with Allinaday. Good hide.....easy once you know where to look!
Seems again the cache has gone to heaven
As such a new cache is in place with new log book and slightly new co-ord
Happy caching and be on the alert for mugglers .

Had a good look but we couldn't find it, the previous loggers must be right & its missing.
Thanks Albany Nomads

We arrived at GZ but are sorry to say that all we found where four round magnetic discs. The remains of the cache perhaps?
10.30 - Visiting from Cairns and enjoying GCaching in WA. Found this one after first finding a way inside the area ... Discovered the treasure when looking in a real secluded spot. Nice area for a rest stop and a cache. Well done. +/-0. T4TC.

Due to this cache being in a high muggler area and since its gone to heaven a few times now , its been shifted to NEW CO-ORDINATES. This location is away from the the eyes of the occupants of the units close by. the only additional clues are that if when actually retrieving the cache you can see the units you're in the wrong spot this is now a well hidden cache now, it requires no garden trampling or climbing of structures...happy caching

Approached GZ to see a boy hanging about the area. After deciding that we weren't going to outwait him we got chatting and found out that his school geocaching group came here but failed to find the cache so he decided to come back and have a look by himself. We are pretty sure we found it but we could not get it. Hope Jaike has some luck with this one in the future. We certainly put in a lot of time there with him. Unfortunately we have to keep travelling but will keep an eye on this one. Thanks.
still havnt found it but im suspicious of it being part of the bridge
had a little help with fellow geocachers beatles2

Finally found it, behind where I had been looking previously. Ingenious hide, well done.
Very hard to get off ,had to get wet,ants also have made a home of cache , tftc
Visiting from the UK with my brother, had to abandon the search due to rain, but if it is so easy wonder why we got nowhere in 10 minutes, particularly if there is no need to leave the path
Unfortunately the cache has been muggled and as such disabled until repaired: Kind Regards Albany Nomads
Well we arrived in Albany last night all set to start our munzee run (www.munzee.com) and find some remaining caches in Albany. Checked the weather forecast and could not believe our eyes. Forecast for rain (that we expected when we visit Albany) but thunderstorms! Geez they've outdone themselves this time.
Well this cache was no end of trouble for us! The weather was actually the least of our problems here! We arrived at GZ and proceeded to hunt & search and hunt & search! Hmmm the home of the camo but this must be great!
Finally Mr Felix had his hand on the prize! Hmm how to retrieve it. Finally the prize in hand, what's this a blank log! Can't be, well after some reading it would appear that this cache is an old unpublished cache! Either that or about to be published on some other website?? Well we signed their log anyways and kept looking.
Finally very annoyed with ourselves it was off to lunch with a local cacher. Discussion ensued over this elusive cache so off we went again still no luck, even with knowledge of what it was. So more calls to the phone a friend line and our 'friend' has confirmed the cache is missing! So whilst we are pleased that we are not completely stupid, it is with a heavy heart we report your cache has been muggled!
There is a readymade replacement if you need one?

Well guarded by geofrog. Beautiful new spot. Imagine in three years time!
Belated log: Found with Duckrunner a few weeks ago. And found by Duckrunner while I watched. Pretty spot, but very overlooked by Mugglehomes. On such a windy and rainy day we were glad the fountains were switched off!
This area is well developed with the lake and surroundings a nice place for a quiet walk or sit. A great cache found by a friend taken along by Geo-Joey. TFTC
The Canucks had a fantastic time retrieving this cache! Identifying it was quite straight-forward, and we love these in-your-face camos that are invisible to muggles. And muggles there were - a family of four sitting on the bench less than 20m away from GZ! What to do? A perfect challenge for us - and time for the Albany Canucks to get into a full-scale surveillance and spy operation! While part of the team provided numerous distractions for our muggle family, one team member was able to discretely retrieve the cache, and we used similar techniques to return it completely unnoticed by the oblivious muggles under whose very eyes we had snatched the prize. Marvellous fun! And a terrific camo, TFTC!
A beautiful day to be out and about and this was a lovely place to visit on this day. Sneaky clever hide too. Tfth
Had investigated this park a while back as a potential hide but had dismissed it as too hard. Well done Nomads - you've come up with the perfect hide. It should survive unless teams drop their guard too much. Anyway we enjoyed it, especially Ralph who made a new friend soon after acting as decoy while the retrieval and replacement were made - he likes the "patting the dog" distraction much better than "doing up the shoelaces".
Nice easy find, Drive past here every day so it was nice to stop and go for a walk TFTC
What a new park. They were still building the houses next door when we arrived.
Feathertop spotted the cache right away, but we didn't think it was there!
Got back to it eventually
Thanks, Robmc.

The place is still under construction and we found tha out the hard way when workmen arrived in huge trucks and asked us to move our little car.
It might be harder to find this one in a year or two but no issues today except that we checked everywhere else first.

We were glad that it was a Sunday afternoon when we got here otherwise there may have been a few more muggles to watch out for. This was one of those lucky caches and we had a leisurely stroll though the nicely landscaped area where the GPSr pointed directly at the cache which was found in the first place we looked. We signed the log and replaced the cache and as we turned to head back to the car the two fountains came on as if to say congratulations.
Thanks Albany Nomads for the cache

The first time out looking for eight weeks after the “bike incident”! A short limp to the cache, spotted easily as we overlooked the lake. No frog in residence today. Had to wait for a couple of young muggles to vacate the area before making the grab.
Quick find after a frustrating DNF at the Boatshed...
Left DDRAMS Gold Geocoin#3 - a worthy cache for the beautiful coin.

LOL, beat the wife to finding this one, and got antridden not mozziebitten. Nice gardens.
Found with howdyaB on a pleasant afternoon of caching. Really loved their reaction when the frog was discovered enjoying its new home. Good one Nomads
Nice area, wish all developers put that much effort into the surrounds when opening up land for residential purposes. The frog loves it, he has made a nice home for himself.TFTF
A nice hunt in the dark! But knew i had found it once the torch was on it! tftc
I was wondering how long it would take for a cache to appear here. What a beauty so close to home. TFTH
Signal's back. Glad geowife didn't find it. She would have freaked. Would have liked the diamonds though. Nice, easy find on the way home from work.
Mr Bushies2 found it but there was a large frog guarding the cache! An unusual frog with different colour comparing to seeing the green frogs back at home in Kununurra. Thanks Albany Nomads for the cache and lovely park.
Roader found it before me and it was good one! Thanks for bringing us to the lovely location and the cache.
The frog is back. I named him Signal, after the offical Geocaching mascot. I think he was happy with that. A great spot for a cache.
First strike. A nice outing with the family. A very cool/interesting/fun geocache for a first. My wife found it, which has got her interested in doing more, and we bought some chocolate gold coins along to give to the kids when we found da tweasha so this one worked out great.

This took us longer to find than it should have but we did find it to claim a smiley. We were looking for something a tad smaller No frogs today. TFTH
Spotted the cache on approach. Lovely park and some nice looking units going up nearby.
With a little bit of help from a fellow cacher who happened along at the same time!
Thank you
Thank you
Took my daughter for a bike ride here so I thought cool I will finally do the geocache while im there. Spotted the cache fairly easy but then got distracted chasing after daughter. Was on opposite side of park and spotted 2 people suspiciously wandering around near the geocache - Wandered back towards them and casually said nice day for geocaching which got a few laughs. Retrieved geocache with Jaydreams. It was nice to meet another geocacher at work.
Took signal geocoin for a ride to a new destination

nice easy find...but very clever.....had a look through some houses nearby.....surely land isnt that scarce in Albany.....too bad if the kids wanted a swing set...or a dog!
A pleasant Sunday afternoon stroll around the lake yielded the treasure after we'd shaken off some muggles. A nice spot and a neat job by the Nomads.
Nice spot! Nice easy find. We were wondering when someone would put a cache here! Took some goodies but left a few for 2TF. Thanks Nomads [D]
Nice one. Was wondering the same and thinking Cruznoz would have had this for his Lake Series.
Left a GC. Took nothing.
