This one has been muggled quite a few times and the area is limited for good spots without having to wade through rubbish.
So have decided to archive.

Lots of broken bottles/glass and rubbish. Not a good spot as its dangerous. Smells of wee.
Found it with my granddaughter. Sadly lots of rubbish nearby. Good clues. Tftc
Found the parts of container in two locations. Put some paper with my name on it inside. But this one really need a replacement. The seal is Brocken and there is no good hiding spots and there is no log.
Found what I think the container is. Log book missing. Placed a piece of paper into box to prove I was there. The area is scattered with litter which is a shame as it gives fantastic views.
Found quickly this evening. The cache has been muggled, no contents and the lid and body were scattered around the area. Reunited, I returned them to their host feature. New log etc will be required. TFTC
Spent far too long looking in the wrong corner, redirected my search after 5 minutes to make an instant find. TFTC
The sea was looking spectacular today! Once I'd got the right corner this was a quick find. Nice placement. TFTC!
Up at this end of the earth with the kids to visit AQWA and picked up a couple of caches whilst here. I heard rather than saw this cache in my search fot it. Nice hide. TFTC.
Day 2 of our geocaching with Geo-parents AUS Vrede. Today we ventured around Hillary's Marina, where we stayed overnight and then did a quick hop up to Mindarie Quay's for lunch and a couple more caches. Another steady day with a variety of caches found and locations visited.
A relatively quick find by AUS Vrede. Cache was large enough to drop in a Geocoin and one of our new extagz.
Thanks for the cache gtxb [^] - cache was good and dry.
This was cache # 5 of 12 and 0 today for a total cache count of 2913.

Second attempt. Biggest geokid helped us find and then middlest geokid claimed the find. TFTC
This was a quick easy find while I was at Hillary's today. I had a look for this one 5 months ago and I couldn't find it back then as it must have fallen down, going by Team Cart's log, but today I found it in seconds as it was back where it belonged. Signed log and replaced as found. Thanks for placing this cache for us all to find and enjoy.
We are pretty sure we have found the location but the hides spot was empty. Might need checking.
Having a little potter around HBH today as I had an hour to kill and there were a couple of unfounded caches here to tick off Having helped out a fellow cacher at "4 Kids" nearby, he returned the favour here with a little nudge in the right direction. Nice quick find in the obvious place and luckily the area was pretty much deserted today so I made short work of everything TFTC
Mrs M was looking around Hillarys so I had time to "look north", a nice quick find. TFTC.
Day 21 of my trip to Perth from the UK and time to go out and find my caches to keep my Australian Streak going. I decided to be a proper tourist today and go to AQWA Aquarium, here at Hillarys. It really is something special and I spent a very pleasant afternoon with my cousin and two of her young children wandering around the exhibits and being wowed by the local fauna. I would recommend a visit there to anyone.
After finishing the trip to AQWA, I was left at Hillarys to amuse myself (obviously caching) for the rest of the afternoon before I met up with the rest of the family again for a picnic lunch on the beach. This gave me a good couple of hours to wander and pick up a few of the caches in the marina itself.
I came to this one third on my list, having completed the two on the opposite side of the harbour before walking through and round to here. To start with I actually ended up in the wrong place and it took me reading the cache page for precise instructions before I realised where I needed to be. There were people fishing on both sides so I had to be fairly stealthy. Once in the right place it was a very quick find and I was able to retrieve and sign the log before carefully replacing. Thank you very much for the cache The view from this place is absolutely stunning and if it weren't for this cache then I wouldn't have had the opportunity to experience it.

After having lunch at a nearby restaurant we came looking for this one. GPSs were a little indecisive about which corner to search and, wouldn't you know it, we picked the wrong one first. Went to the other side and made a quick grab. Lots of plastic containers with water here. For the kitties? Thanks gtxb
Found it eventually after rereading the description. Beautiful morning for a cache. TFTC
Looked, sat, looked some more, sat, re-read the description, moved a few metres and found the cache. Took a TB. Thanks for the cache.
Nice hide, great camo. Just biding time between a wedding and reception so we thought we would go out geocaching. Great way to pass the time
Great spot and nice camouflage! It was a very easy find as the cache was in full view out of its "support". I replaced it in its camouflage so that it is not exposed any more. Thank you for the cache gtxb.
easy find though was a little disappointing i didnt get to find the original hide. tftc
Took us a little while, glad I re read the info and then found it TFTC
Tftc, quick find with muggle family, took duncraig bushranger cadets path tag, left coin ☺
Glad to finally tick this one. It had been muggled a couple of time in its former location so when it was replaced in the new location I thought I should grab it quickly. New cache seems fairly secure as long as people replace it correctly. I actually spotted the container peaking out the bottom of its camo as I approached GZ. Please be careful when replacing the cache.
Thanks for the cache. There are three path tags currently in the cache. TNLN.

Once we read the description properly we had the cache in hand.! Great hide and container
I took a pathtag and left on of our own pathtags
Thanks for the cache!

Arrived at GZ to see some other geocachers leaving!
Spent a long time looking in the wrong spots, but eventually found it, not where I first thought it would be though. Because my gps didn't show the description of the cache I didn't get to see the listing!
Good hide and cache is in good condition!
TFTC!

At last I have had a chance to fix this cache and hopefully it will not get muggled again.
The size of the cache has changed and it is in a new location withing about 4 metres of the original hiding place.
Please check the description for full info.

Have checked, and yet again it has been muggled!! Spent some time studying the are and have developed an idea. Will take me a few days to construct a new cache and put it in place. Will be better camouflaged next time.
Should be able to get to this one in the next couple of days and check it. Will replace if needed.
Yep, based on the clues here it appears this has been muggled. Could the CO please check on this?
Checked pretty much the only place it could be based on the description (and I'm almost 2m tall). Pretty sure it's gone AWOL again .
Such a lovely place and playground .
Found while on my first visit to WA

Went down this morning to check on this one and there were heaps of muggles around, so I couldn't get a good look to see if it was still there. Will try again tomorrow and replace if need be..
It's a 1.5 an I think someone's moved it or that because it's so hard to find. The compass is telling us to go in circles. It says to go here
