This cache seemed to be a muggle magnet, so it has now been put to rest so that a new cache in a different spot, overlooking the same fountain can live
I will try to check this cache this weekend. I may have to move it as it seems to wander away every so often.
Thought I would get in some exercise riding my mountain bike and pick up all the caches in Secret harbour that I hadn't found. This was 3 of 7 for the day. The magnet on this sucker is *very* strong. Thanks for the hunt.
Really nice park with some very mature trees, and a great water feature, surprising in an newish area.
Thanks, Robmc.
Thanks, Robmc.
A rather more mature park than we were expecting. The GPS had us thinking another spot before settling down on a better spot.

I finally travelled past here today to find the park finally muggle free. I approached the GZ to replace the log as per the previous logs, but unfortunately the cache was missing as well. New cache and log placed today
Lovely cache with a view of the pond
Had to be careful because of the chap setting up for a music festival

Easy find. Beautiful spot for a walk or just to sit. Had to wait for a couple of muggles to cycle on past.
Lovely early morning walk with the geodog, easy find, nice peaceful location. Nothing to write with so did not sign log . Thank you Rudi63, nice to see this one activated again.
[B)] It would seem that this cache has been muggled, I will make up an new container and replace it soon.
[:(!] I had 2 goes at this cache today in the heat. First time I parked in the carpark near the playground and the coast looked clear but alas as I got close to GZ there were 3 teen muggles sitting at a table. Another was riding past on a bike the 3 yelled to the other do you have a pen? I thought nothing of it and continued past without even looking there way. I doubled back on the road and kept caching. I came past later and the coast looked clear again so off I set. When I reached GZ I could see the same teen muggles had moved up 1 table but were still nearby and were watching my approach. At GZ I quickly saw the cache log on the ground which I picked up and quickly left the area. So I am sorry to say this cache is in the wind till it can be replaced.

The ABC kids were having a great time nearby (at least it sounded that way) while I crossed the road to find this nice & easy cache. The sounds of the fountain drowned out all of the other noises as I sat down & signed the log while enjoying the view. Unfortunately I had nothing for the many ducks who came swimming over expectantly. TFTC.
My first find for the day. This is a lovely park, and the fountain is very cool and a bit different to normal everyday fountains. The cache was a much easier find than I was expecting, and it set a good tone for the rest of the day as I was looking to find a lot of rudi63's caches. The mozzies however were out in force, so I couldn't hang around too long.
Thanks for the cache rudi63!

Arrived in the area with a GPS that wouldn't settle down so just searched the logical objects nearby and soon found the cache. Emptied out the smoke but and signed the log.
Thanks for the cache.

Happy to get into this Secret series now the premium tag has been lifted. Love these parks with big trees. GPSr just would not settle so looked in the usual crooks and crannies till I found the cache. Cheers Rudi63
Great cache for the geokids to find, nice cool spot to sit on a hot day.

This was our first attempt at geocaching!!! Used a hand held Garmin Etrex and a geocaching app on the i-phone. Steve and I were in competition to find the treasure first. He won!!!! It was very safe, waterproof, and we felt we had accomplished a miracle!!! It was close enough to home to walk to. We were acting a little furtive because the park gardners were busy gardening. Thanks for the fun time - our family thinks we are mad!! Steve-Pam
Now that I have moved back to WA and I can look after this cache easier, the Premier Listing has been removed
A road crash had closed the south bound HWY. We were forced to divert in here to Secret Harbour. A bonus when the TomTom screamed at me. What a pleasant diversion. I hope the people down stream were OK. Clear skies.
A quick find in a beautiful park, I was diverted here cos of a car accident out on the main road.. but 1 extra cache to my name! TFTC

Quick stealthy grab with muggles around. Enjoyed seeing the little ducklings. SL

Cache back on line. Thanks Wileyclan for doing the maintenance while I am interstate
I overshot my original destination so decided to start my caching here instead. Lovely little park with no one around and a convenient table to sit at and sign the log. I had a little trouble replacing the cache as one of the attachment devices seemed to only work one way around (yes both attachments have come unstuck), it would attach to the cache container or to where the cache is hidden but not both. A dob of glue would fix the problem, but its not something I carry around with me so could not fix on the spot.
Thanks for the cache and the hunt.

I have been here with my Grandockers many times to feed the Ducks, before I had down loaded the cache of course!
So I took the dog for a late night stroll, got it at 2200hrs.

A very nice little park, oddly deserted on a beautiful winter's weekend day, but made for a very easy find. Thanks for another hunt rudi63.
We thought this would hard to get as their were kidsz everywhere enjoying their last day of holidays, but it was a quick grab and nobody seemed to notice a thing. Geokid jnr was running over to gz and we yelled out to her to watch out for the giant hole which was bigger than a large bucket, and typical of geokkid jnr she fell straight in the hole, we only wish we had the camera.
Thanks for the fun of a rain day hunt close to home.
My geokid had fun jumping in puddles and finding the cache.

Easy find on a wet and windy winters day, small container. TFTF Our brother and sister and law got married here 3 years ago so we love the location
A quick find in a plesant location. Couldn't believe we got FTF! Signed the log. TFTH
As we drove to this cache we saw one lone person in the park. I said to the geowife that if there was only one person there, they were at GZ. Sure enough we approached GZ and the "muggle" was right where the GPSr was pointing. We wandered aimlessly for a minute or so and the "muggle" moved. Quick as I moved to where they were and had a look. Nothing. Where the heck has Rudi63 put it? We pondered for a minute and the "muggle" wandered back towards us with the words "Are you looking for this?" Thanks moonlightz, makes an easy find when it is handed to you like that!!
SL - swapped a TB for a GC with moonlightz
Cheers for cahe Rudi63

2nd to find
I wandered around aimlessly for a while, not thinking that the cache would be where it was. I had already had a quick look and didn't see anything, but just before I was going to give up, I looked in a different spot and there it was!
I saw a few "muggles" approaching, so after I signed the log I carried the cache off with me while I searched for something I thought I'd lost.
Had a look over at the "muggles", who had now positioned themselves right where I found the cache. I thought I would be waiting a while for them to move on, but I noticed him checking where the cache should have been, so I walked up to them and asked them if they were looking for what I had in my pocket
Had a nice chat with the wileyclan. Great to meet some nice new people while out caching by myself
Grabbed a TB off Mr Wiley and swapped with a GC I had on me.
TFTH!
