I need to check this cache when in Albany next.
There was a report that it had been vandalized ?
Maybe need change the type of cache to a smaller type.

Looks like someone got lucky in this location, unfortunately, it wasn’t us. DNF.
Found it. Didn't want to stick my hand down the hole as a kiwi, I'm scared of snakes
Third attempt !!!! Yahooooo!!! Thank you to a fellow cache-friend!!! Tricky but do not give up
Found it!! It was super great fun!! Really tricky too! I think coordinates are a few metres or so off though.
Been up here for an hour and a half looking for the Geocache but had no luck in finding it. Got the feeling that it might be gone. If the owner can come and check that would be great.
Made it up to Mount Melville and before the ominous clouds rolled in. A fantastic view and brilliant nickname "Sparkplug". After visiting the tower I popped round to grab this cache as well. A fairly quick find. TFTC
Tried to find this one in 2016 but did give it a good go as lightning was building up. Granite rocks and strikes were on our mind so left. What a beautiful place to come to because of cache. Panoramic views gorgeous. Thank you for putting out a cache here. Love all the rocks. Favourite point.
The rain cleared enough for us to come and grab this one. Great views, very deserted given the weather. Very cool boulders. Tftc
A little bit "Picnic at Hanging Rock" ish. I made this one overly difficult but got there in the end. Fave point. Tftc
Mmm, in there…..
About where GZ took us, just needed some hunting around. Great location TFTC

Started our 2nd tour of WA now checking out Albany and surrounds. 14 December 2021 4:06 pm Tyfc Phil & Sigrid Justrackin total caches now 3465
Bit tricky. Here with friends for a dive trip, they thought I was crazy but now I have to find another one for them to look for! TFTC
Bit of a tricky find, and rocks are very slippery in the wet. But beautiful views
Windy and wet, it worth the hike to collect this cache. Thanks for maintaining this cache
Headed out to grab some caches and we set our sights on this one as our first for the day. We made the short walk to gz spotted the cache. We took in some of the views while we added our names to your log book. We returned your cache back to where it hides and took in some more of the views TFTC Phil & Sigrid Justrackin.
Checking out the other side of Mt Melville with axell33 today. This was our first for the day and loved the surrounding views. Albany is such a lovely place. Thank you for showing us here.
Wet weather didn’t stop me from geocaching! Found this one with @jamesknowlson after exams! TFTC Phil & Sigrid Justrackin
Straight to it which is most unusual for me another fantastic beautiful spot. I’m staying near Mt Melville this trip so just had to grab this cache as I had a walk around the summit. Thanks for bring me here
Was wet and windy but will try again on a better day. Wind was messing with navigation
