After a lot of thought I have made the sad decision to archive this hide. It is too expensive a hide to replace when it goes missing. I have loved receiving all of the postcards and will treasure my collection and all the memories of this letterbox cache ??????
Not forgotten. Container painted, just need to restock & replace. Can do New Years week or earlier .
Checked on the cache, it has gone. I have purchased a new one , it may take 2 to 4 weeks before I can replace it as a lot of work in making a new one .
Sorry it is taking so long ...
Sorry it is taking so long ...
Just to let everyone know that I will replace the cache when I have time to. Sorry for any inconvenience
Belated log of this one. Out with Little Pink and Mrs Trigger for a cycle round. TFTC
What a lovely, well organised letterbox cache! Thank you Luna Maya for a fantastic cache and a wonderful view. A fave added for this one!
Left 2 x trackables to continue on their journeys!

Cycling toward Mandurah, we did a nice stop here, a nice point of view and a very nice cache. Everything is in good shape. TFC
Another letterbox cache I understand: a letterbox cache in a letterbox. I’ve always found LBCs a little odd but this is the second one today that makes sense. And it has a good view.
Cache and supplies all good.
Merry Xmas and a fantastic new year

On holiday from the Uk and stopping with PP2! This cache was recommended as an amazing view - they weren’t wrong! Tftc
Probably one of the most kitted out and well organised letter boxes I have ever seen. Gets a favvo.
Took a postcard and will mail it back from Sweden.

Thanks for cache and great view on the ocean. Took one postcard and will sent You from Ukraine. Leave some Ukrainian coins.
Whilst I was working down this way this afternoon I was tossing up whether to grab a couple of caches before the drive home and facing the endless chores awaiting me. I umm and argh for awhile before deciding it was nice weather for a walk and that there was a letterbox cache close so the decision was made. So glad I made the decision this well maintained cache was a treat to find. I usually see images of these types of caches over east - high quality and well maintained and a nice size to boot. To top it off the view was lovely in one direction especially as the sun was going down. I left gz with a smile on my face and happy that I made the right decision. Thanks for quality cache and effort you take in maintaining it.
All good with this cache. Except found out in the open. Please re hide so is not visible and cover with cammo provided
After a fabulous and enjoyable morning out with my big sister enjoying penguin and sea lion cruise on a perfect sunny day, time for some caching on the way back. Last cache of the day, after short walk, and up some stairs found shortly after. A clever and ingenious hide. stamped and signed log book. Postcard taken and info on letterbox cache as well. Then proceeded up to top of stairs to admire the view. FP from me! Thanks for the cache Luna Maya.
Found by very excited geokid Z with geokid A (akc124) and Rainbow scjaz right on sunset (please see photo). Our very first letterbox find. It was brilliant look out for a postcard from us and thank you for the information and bringing us to this beautiful spot tftc tnln sl
Wow Beautiful view from GZ. no rain but start rain when return back to the car (luck) Signed the log. Thanks Luna Maya for the stamp, cache, hide and hunt...
Second time trying too find this one, this time with success..
The camo had moved, so I re hid the cache and adjusted the camo to hide the container...

Cache container cleaned and restocked, new log book ready to go. I just need to source some more Luna Maya postcards as gifts. This cache has lasted nearly 5 years so very happy. PLEASE rehide so is not visible AND put the large piece of cammo back in place. I have loved receiving the postcards mailed to me and keep them in an album. I have also appreciated the previous log book which I have kept
I am taking the cache home for maintenance, plan to return tomorrow weather permitting !
Caching with axell33 and the geopups on this beautiful sunny day. This was a great little nature park with a nice little climb. Poor baby geopup 2 had a fair bit of trouble with the steps going up, then passed out all the way home! Not to worry she's still only a baby . Tyftc
Set ou to find this one with Leega and the Geopooches. The newest Geohound found the steps a challenge. We searched for about 5 minutes until Leega went over a spot for a second time and made the find. Log signed and cache returned. TFTC Luna Maya
Got dropped off and made my way to GZ and made the quick find, dropped off a TB for further travels with someone else.
All the components listed on the description appear to be in the cache but have been all mixed about, I put stuff back where it's listed as much as possible but a CO visit to make sure everything is right might help.

Kids went up with Aunty janssej whilst i was attending to 1yo in the car. TFTC.
Surprisingly this was 1 of 3 letterbox caches we did today!

Another Thursday and another day out with barnzy12.
This time we were back in my car and all felt normal again, the usual poor navigation and suburb driving
Started in Spearwood an ended down near Golden Bay!
Caches that were found were in good condition and those that were not found were abandoned after a 5 min search if the difficulty rating was less than 2.
Thanks to the CO's for placing the caches and bringing us to the area.

TFTC! Spent the day caching again with Cravo10 out towards Rockingham and baldivis with a side serve of the manning bushland caches.
We had a great day out collecting a heap of smilies around the baldivis area where there was a great bunch of Jinta29s cool camo caches and different hides, we then changed tunes and headed towards some of the port Kennedy scientific park caches which was a complete fail, getting slowed down majorly on some of the camo caches in the series. Luckily we were able to grab the two letterbox hybrid caches that were our main targets for the day.
We abandoned the series a few caches in and headed around the area grabbing a few park and grabs before calling it a day and heading back to our meeting point of Cockburn gateways.
Thanks to the local COs for their great caches even some of the frustrating ones!! We're slowly making in roads to caching the area out, can't wait to come back soon.
Had an awesome day out collecting about 35 smileys for the day.

A lovely cache in a nice location.
As previously mentioned it is very wet inside the cache and not many spots left to sign.
TFTC Luna Maya this is find number 1165 for us.

Found - great hide. Most of the log book is soaking wet in the bottom of the letterbox, with just two pages dry in one of the two containers. Those two pages are almost full so the log book may need looking at? I am afraid I couldn't find a trackable anywhere either . Put back as found - TFTC (my second Letterbox)
Here from outta town for a gig at the Mandurah Ent Cent and grabbing a few random GCs where I can. One of the better letterboxes out there I'd say (this one is only my third one!) a lot of care and thought gone into this makes it a rewarding experience for the finder. TFTC! Fave point awarded. Dropped my "PN on tour" PT (one of only 50) please log it if you lift it cheers!

Firstly my apologies for the very delayed log - truth is I had completely forgotten I found this cache, and it was only because I just found a TB in the bottom of my camera bag that I'm now logging it at all! First time I've ever sat on a TB like this and as an owner myself I'll be apologising to the TB owner as well - I'm surprised they haven't marked it as missing. By checking which cache the TB was last in it hit me with a thump...I remember we'd driven down for a surf and ML had wanted to stay in longer than me...so I headed off for a climb and find this cache. Now I can't remember the exact date so have gone for this particular Sunday based on other logs on the cache - particularly those noting the TB drop and a subsequent finder saying the TB had gone. If the CO happens to check the log I will be happy to amend the date if I've got it wrong (thanks). Anyway, better late than never so thanks for the views (I remember those!) and of course TFTC
Out and about for some fresh air and an afternoon explore as we had been cooped up all day.
We arrived at this cache just before sunset so climbed to the top to witness another beautiful WA sunset as we waited out a family of muggles doing the same.
Wander back to GZ and quickly had the great cache to hand. Signed the log and dropped in a TB we brought back from Melbourne and also one of our tagz.
A favourite point for a nicely executed cache.
Thanks for the cache Luna Maya [^] - we made the find and the cache was in good order and the log dry .
This was find # 3 of 3 and 0 today giving us a total cache count of 3079.

Checked on this cache today. Given much needed TLC - Replaced the stamp pad. Read all of the lovely logs, much appreciated. It seems a new log book is needed - will provide soon. Postcards & letterbox leaflets & stamps all restocked. A real bonus to meet up with some fellow geocachers as well

Having walked over from the Secret Lagoon, it was fun to meet up with the CO of this letterbox at GZ. We had a nice chat, admired the letterbox and its contents and signed the log.
I collected the racing TB from it to take it on further adventures.
Thanks for this well-stocked letterbox, Luna Maya and a fave for it!

After discovering that our "Southern Inoculations" are still OK we headed down to complete a few in this area and this was on the list. M4yb and WebblyWA were walk slowly behind while I had parked the car and headed to this one.
On arriving at GZ I noticed some close by and called out, to find the CO in attendance, she asked me to wait until she had re-hidden and then I found the correct path to GZ.
What a great Letterbox this is and so good, as always to meet up with such a lovely CO, so good to find the newly replaced stash and place my mark on the old logbook.
Thanks Luna Maya a fav form me for the work and maintenance of this great cache.

Tftc found this one after work today with geokids. We left a TB for WAGB2016! Kids and I left a little note and they chose a sticker from the collection to put with the note. No postcards left and no ink pad though. Our 2nd letterbox GC
Nice hide and learnt about first letter box caches

Had to go to Port Kennedy and after that chore was done it was time for the caching I had promised the dogs. This was our first stop and had a lovely walk to GZ. The Letterbox was exposed and easily spotted. Luckily for me though the place was deserted so I could spend my time going through the contents being careful the wind didn't steal any of it. Left my note and signature. There is one postcard left which I left so anyone visiting from afar to post back. Great cache here and once I had finished playing with it I returned everything back and placed the cache back as per CO's instructions where it was less likely to be muggled. TFTC Luna Maya a Fav point from me.
Our family began geocaching today and this was our first find. We live locally and it was a pleasant walk.
The ink pad is missing

Discovered that there was a letterbox north of town so went for a search of this one. I absolutely LOVE well executed letterboxes. This one is no difference. Stamped the logbook with our stamp but will have to come back to bring an inkpad to stamp my book with your awesome stamp. Took a card and will put it in the mail shortly. FP from us! And great to meet you at the event!
My first letterbox, thank you! I never knew this lookout was here. Loving finding your caches
Someone has taken your ink pad
There's a couple of large spiders who've made it home as well but I left them where they were as they're not hurting anyone.
Cheers

Found on a lovely sunny day in the company of good friends. I love finding letterbox caches and this was a really good representation of what they are all about, however it would appear that your stamp pad was been removed and your logbook is falling apart. Thanks for the cache and the opportunity to see the view from here
Introduced RARVES to caching here. Now they have moved to the ACT where we visited them & were present when they found their first TB. As it is a lovely little cat we thought it appropriate to bring it back to visit the cache where it all began.
GeoMum & GeoDad both took time off work & the GeoFamily went on our last little holiday up north before school returned next week.
A mere 36 degrees & we're caching again! Keen cachers:) unfortunately, it's a little too hot to spend quality time here logging this one today.
Off we go down to this surfing beach to cool off!
Thanks for bringing us here again. We were only here last w/end & totally love secret harbour.

I was over in WA from Victoria for a couple of days work and was taking the opportunity to find some caches when time permitted. I was closing in 1400 Finds so I wanted something a bit more special that a Mint Tin to mark it. The only problem was that I couldn't be sure when the 1400 would come up as I am still waiting to hear about whether I have got a Virtual and an Earthcache right to log. The only thing to do was to make the next three finds a bit special so I had #1400 covered no matter which one it turned out to be...and three Letterbox Hybrids in close proximity was a perfect solution.
This one was my first stop heading up from Mandurah where I was staying. After parking in the recommended location, I strolled over to the site of the cache. After one false start, I was soon heading towards the top...stopping off for the cache along the way. After stamping the cache log book with my stamp and my log book with the cache stamp, I took a Luna Maya card and was on my way.
Thanks Luna Maya for putting in the extra effort required to establish a Letterbox cache. I will give you a Favourite Point for the effort when I have found enough other caches to earn one.

Originally found under family caching name clan - wallace now branching out under own caching name
Caroline, Brian & Mac had a nice walk to find this well maintained letterbox. TFTC
Found by the youngest cacher in the family, and she was very excited about it. Always fun to discover a letterbox cache, and this one did not disappoint. Cache and contents in good condition. TFTC
After walking into Scientific Park from home to find Wombat 3 (near where you live Luna Maya) we headed here to show geohubby the view and find this letterbox cache. I hadn't been to the lookout for over 10yrs, the view has changed a lot! This is our 2nd LB cache but there first one with everything in it. I swapped the TB in there for the one I had in my pocket. A great morning of walking ( over 11km round trip) and geocaching. TFTC Luna Maya

Restocked the postcards, left a white Luna Maya pathtag for the next finder and dropped off a TB
I also took photos of the logbook entries, love them !

This is 42 kilometres from home but is the closest letter box cache to find for the 7 souvenirs of August. Good job Secret Harbour Golf course is one of our favourites so we were able to tie in the search with a game down there! Well worth the trip to the top of the steps to see the view ad a well maintained cache that deserves a favourite point for all the above reasons! T4TC Luna Maya.
Tftc. Have lived in Secret Harbour since I was 17yrs. Have always loved this lookout and still do. View has changed ALOT though. First ever letterbox cache
Came out to grab this cache for our august souvenir, the lovely co joined us for maintenance, a great view from this spot, we left our pathtag, we love caches you have to do stuff tftc
TFTC! My geochildren loved the swappable post card of the black cat inside the cache as we had a beautiful jet black cat named Luna. Luna maya postcard is now on our fridge here in ACT.
En route to work for the day, I made a point of picking off a few caches that I could sneak in before checking in... I followed the SatNav that put me roadside, about 80m away, and wandered along the the open space adjacent to the houses. I soon spotted the path to GZ and watched the GPS count down. Aha, should be around here... [^]
I got into the search and quickly found the container.... HEY... a letterbox that actually fits the name... Nice work... I pulled the log out and was sitting comfortably when a muggle jogger decided to use the area for some exercise... We scared the daylights out of each other, commented as such, then went about our business. Luckily, there was no sign of the container when said muggle shot past...
I added a sticker to the log, tucked everything away, then shot through before the next cycle of up and down from the jogger...

1515, GAFF1 Was almost running late by this stage to head back to Bull Creek in time for going out tonight (but I wasn't aware that the Freeway would be so slow heading North. Good coordinates meant an easy find - dry and intact, but had no CSM to leave behind. (Did see some kind of snake in a bush back down near the houses)
