I need to go and check this one.
 
10-Aug-14
Looked for a while. No luck.
 
26-Jul-14
Search along under the ledge. Found a possible mounting location but no cache.
 
29-May-14
I'll go back and check on this one. It's not near water so it will not be washed away.
 
28-Apr-14
Looked for bit but unsuccessful
 
07-Nov-13
Another DNF, maybe next time.
 
02-Oct-13
If the cache is where we think it is, then we fear that the recent rainfall may have interfered with the cache and washed it away... My apologies if we're way off.
 
02-Oct-13
Silly us - tried at adjusted coords, but no luck? Perhaps a gardener or the electrician has been snooping?
 
14-Sep-13
A wet blustery day. Good for keeping the muggles away. But made some of the paving tiles REALLY slippery. Between showers managed to retrieve the cache, sign it & replace it. On departure had a snoopy electrician ask what we were doing lurking around. Told him the truth, that we were geocaching. We were what?!? Hard to believe some people have no knowledge. He seemed dubious but what could he do, the more he asked, the more we explained. Then I asked him who he was & what he was doing, after all, he didn't have any visible ID... Thanks Team Gunn Parker for placing this cache.

Had to search for this one but found it. THX
 
14-Apr-13
Up this way again today, hoping to find a few more ducks before heading along the river towards Fremantle. Have been watching this one for a while, having missed it last time I was here. The gps jumps all over the place here, so finding this one took a while. Glad to have this one out of the way. Left a tb to continue on its way too. Thanks Team Gunn Parker
 
07-Apr-13
Took awhile TFTC Smile
 
07-Apr-13
Coords were still abit out but after a having a search around the cache was in hand TFTC Smile
 
07-Apr-13
Out doing some caching with geodaughter kristybelle and her boyfriend ben-was-1992. Not the best caching day ive had, only ended up with 15 finds and i think 5 DNFS after being out for 6 hours..... so glad to get this one off my DNF list. i still found the co ords out but with the new hint it didnt take long to find TFTC Team Gunn Parker
 
05-Apr-13
Hidden well. Well done Ardross Arrows.
 
24-Mar-13
Finally able to cross this one off my list. TFTC
 
23-Mar-13
Found it after reading kbinuk2005's log. I'm not sure whether the coordinates are correct as I just went by KB's description. Glad to have this one off the DNF list! SL. TFTH Team Gunn Parker
 
23-Mar-13
Coordinates changed from:
S 32° 02.142 E 115° 49.993

Coordinates changed to:
S 32° 02.140 E 115° 49.981

Distance from original: 63 feet or 19.2 meters.

I have changed the coordinates now. I have used kbinuk2005 coordinates as most people are have better luck with them.

Thanks for going back.
 
23-Mar-13
This cache is back on line again.
Cheers
 
17-Mar-13
TFTC This has been on my todo list for sometime and I'm glad to finally knock it over! Thanks team gunn Parker will be great to have it back online soon. Cheers barnzy12
 
04-Mar-13
I decided to check this cache out after kbinuk2005 log as I have preciously not found it. Using kbinuk2005 hint I found it after a short search. The listed coordinates place me in a garden with a low limestone wall which appeared to be correct based on the listed hint.

The tall buildings at the location make it difficult to get an accurate fix and therefore the hint should be more helpful I believe. I made the coordinates closer to S32 02.138 E115 49.987 but kbinuk2005 hint will put you in the correct location.

The cache could be reactivated with updated coordinates and a better hint.

Thanks Team Gunn Parker, this cache has frustrated me for some time.
 
28-Feb-13
Great news for you Team Gunn Parker.....your old red cache lives to see another day. The cache is in great condition, complete with little red pencil and red sharpener. The over the bridge clue and the coordinate have both lead me (and presumably some others!) astray. The cache is safely tucked away under the edge of the building far away from the bridge, so if fellow cachers are anywhere near the bridge, they are at least 30m off GZ. The current coordinate for the cache is about S32 02.140 E115 49.981. By today's standards, the cache is not wheelchair accessible and is therefore no longer terrain 1. Thanks for the cache; I hope you can update the listing to help other cachers who have been equally as frustrated as me.

P.S. - As a further hint, the cache is under the building at a point where there's a prickly rose type vine where the building is almost at ground level.
 
20-Feb-13
The coordinates lead me to a bottle brush tree with brick chairs and a small garden area. When you mean building did you mean under the bridge?
 
17-Feb-13
I'm having trouble getting out to check this one yet again. It should be over the bridge and under the edge of the building on the South side.
Thanks to everyone who has had fun out here over the years.
 
13-Feb-13
As before.
 
12-Jan-13
The second of many caches that I visited today only to find that it is probably long gone. The CO needs to do something about this one.
PS As a reward for my fruitless efforts here, I get a dent in my car in the carpark. Grrrr...
 
04-Jan-13
I think an owner check up is required... Other cachers may want this wonderful spot. According to the owners profile page he hasn't been online since Semptember???

I'll go and check on the weekend.
 
01-Jan-13
Luckily there were no muggles around, we had a real good look around but couldn't find anything.
 
01-Jan-13
Decided to try and look for this today while wandering aimlessly around Garden City and the local area, had a good look around the place, which was quiet as anything, getting further and further from the listed co-ordinates, and no sign of the cache.
 
30-Oct-12
Can someone check on this cache as I don't think it's here anymore...
 
30-Oct-12
looked everywhere and turns out my dad saw us came down and he gave me a hugSmileTftc
 
27-Oct-12
Decided to go for this one after replacing a cache of mine. No luck today it seems
 
26-Sep-12
I've just introduced a friend and wanted to show her the way trackables work. Given I'm in heels today a 1 terrain with a small trackable looked perfect! My GPSr had GZ on a light post so I resorted to the spoiler photos. I'm pretty sure I managed to find the actual GZ but aforementioned heels prevented me from having a proper look. On my "another time" list.
 
08-Sep-12
Second time lucky....Found it after walking around in circles, looking at all the wrong spots nearly gave up.
 
06-Sep-12
A DNF for me today. I think it would be better to come on the weekend to search for the cache as there was too many people around today
 
01-Sep-12
Lots of walking around in circles, had to give up when our 6yr old needed to go to the men's room. Few strange looks from the gardeners that were working there today. Will come back hopefully no gardeners around..... and we find it .....
 
25-Aug-12
We decided to have another go at this one after we saw it'd been found recently. It wasn't where we thought it'd be and we've definitely checked the spot before. Glad to finally knock this one off our list, it's been our nemesis for months now! Tftc.
 
09-Aug-12
Older Geobrother found this earlier last year with Tuskens2012 but did not log!. TFTH
 
30-Jun-12
Found with a lot of help from my ten year old, who also found a lot of nerf bullets whilst scouring the area.
In company with my father-in-law gerten, who is in Australia on holiday from Sweden.
I reckon the cache is around 10m from it's intended location.
The geocoin is missing too.
We had a lot of trouble dodging some pesky teenage parcour practitioners.
TFTC.
 
30-Jun-12
Together with dr_roc_au and Riley. Probably moved from original hide.
Just logbook in the cache. TFTC
 
03-Jun-12
Hi there. The Hoggan family struck again. Nr 6 find in 7 days. My five year old and 1 yr old are very happy. Not sure hint helps. So wonder if it has been moved. Hope owner can check and confirm. I will put back where I found it
 
20-May-12
Thought I'd give this one another go after the recent finds. No luck. There were people running around playing a laser tag type game and then people arrived with scoop nets to catch things in the water...all on a lovely "quiet" Sunday afternoon. DNF for me.

08-May-12
Couldn't find it! will go back soon...
 
25-Apr-12
Nice peaceful area
 
22-Apr-12
I glad you stuck with it and found it at the end.
 
21-Apr-12
Very hard but fun!
 
18-Feb-12
Had a look around. The reflections off the building seem to affect the GPS a bit but I think I found where it was and have included a photo.
 
17-Jan-12
same experience as the others. GPS way off from the hint. can owner please check to make sure that it is still there please.
 
12-Jan-12
Can you please confirm if this cache is still there? It is such a lovely location, would be nice to visit again to find the treasure?
 
12-Jan-12
I couldn't find it either, The GPS was showing somewhere way off the hint, I searched the obvious spot as per the hint, but to no avail. Is it still there?
 
12-Jan-12
Sorry I should have changed the clue when I replaced the container.
I'll check on the weekend to make sure but if you read the clue, you should find it OK now.
 
12-Jan-12
Looked for a while but GPS not happy with the trees and muggles everywhere. Managed to deploy a Munzee in the area.
We'll be back. We will not be defeated!!!!!!!!!!!
 
09-Dec-11
Can owner confirm this is still there?
 
06-Nov-11
Searched "everywhere" on a deserted Sunday afternoon. No joy. Sad
 
28-Oct-11
Hint and photos don't match GPS-will have to try again sometime
 
22-Oct-11
Have looked twice can someone confirm it still in new location as no one has found it since it was moved.
 
22-Oct-11
No luck. GPS all over the place. Saw some great hiding spots but nothing there. Am aware that two other groups have also looked and been unsuccessful. Does the hint still apply? Would appreciate an update on whether it's still in place...Have spet many an hour at Garden City and lived in the area for more than a decade...and never knew this peaceful spot existed...so thanks for the cache -- even if we haven't found it yet!
 
24-Sep-11
My GPS had me walking in circles and there were too many muggles around for me to make a thorough search. I shall return ... maybe when I've acquired some better equipment.
 
04-Sep-11
The GPSr had GZ moving all over the place, I searched a number of spots but no luck.
 
21-Aug-11
The little red cache has now been replaced.
I found my original container but replaced it in a more "out of the way place"
I hope it will not be found here.
 
21-Aug-11
Coordinates changed from:
S 32° 02.136 E 115° 50.014

Coordinates changed to:
S 32° 02.142 E 115° 49.993

Distance from original: 114.2 feet or 34.8 meters.

Change of coordinates.
 
07-Aug-11
We went out today to find this and fix it up. We found my original red container but no sign of any other.
The container was in the water and everything was soaked through. I'll get back out when it dries and replace it.
 
04-Aug-11
Had a good look around and used hint Sad
 
18-Jul-11
Had a look in this amazing spot about 10 days ago. Had a look at the obvious place DNF. Second visit looked again and found a note in obvious spot to say cache moved look around pond. Pond too large to search all. Gave up
 
04-Jul-11
Found no probs.
 
12-Jun-11
found long ago
 
12-Jun-11
A surprising little garden behind these building, certainly not what we expected as we rounded the large office block. Took a little while to get, as an old pair of muggles were walking their equally old dog (well it seemed that way!)
Thanks, Robmc.
 
12-Jun-11
Nice to get this one today and interesting reading of this cache's replacement.
Thanks

On a short Caching run with FELIX II.

It's little but not very red. Found in a very secluded spot.
Fortunately not to many muggles to worry about.

Out caching with The Machman. Found in the obvious spot, once The Machman agreed to retrieve it. TFTC TeamGunnParker
 
30-May-11
Nice place, tftc!
 
25-May-11
Never knew this little idillic place existed just behind Garden City!!! Wow! It is such a peaceful nice little spot, thanks for bringing me to it! The cache was a bit wet, as was the log. It needs a bit of maintenance when the owner has a chance.
TFTC!!
 
07-May-11
Walked the long way round from the carpark. Was a good plan to do this one as we need charge for The plastic finder. Got batteries after the find oh and pies.
 
02-May-11
Took a few minutes after checking the wrong side, got our hopes up on a large red water bottle that was floating near the cache. Who would have thought that at 6pm on a Sunday 4 young muggles would be lurking on the bridge, we thought they may have been the trolls guarding the cache, could have fooled us
 
22-Apr-11
This has been on our "to do" list for some time. Two previous visits where the same location was checked without success. Thanks Mr Walker for bringing this one back on line. TFTC
 
15-Apr-11
Have been wanting to get this one since it was reactivated but it is a high muggle traffic area during working hours. Had reason to stay late so took the opportunity to seek it out.
Thanks to the phantom for rejuvenating this cache.
 
13-Apr-11
Came by to try and place a cache nearby but when that didn't work out, I had a look and noticed this cache was back up and running. I found the cache easily just following the map, but how strange to find a blank log book when the cache has already been found. Who is the phantom cacher? Redlions, with one cache found and no written log entry, was it you [?] TFTC anyway. Neat little spot!
 
06-Apr-11
Well done "phantom cacher"
Thanks
 
05-Apr-11
It looks like this cache has been replaced/recreated! There is a logbook entry 'replaced by the phantom cacher'. Nice place to visit!
 
13-Mar-11
Time yet?
 
29-Jan-11
Checked on it a while ago and cache is GONE.[xx(]
 
12-Dec-10
Rode past this to check its status since we found it a few months back. Definitely has gone missing.
 
01-Dec-10
Looks like there could be a problem, I'll check it out.
 
01-Dec-10
We have visited this GZ on two occasions this week. The second time armed with flashlight, gloves, long arms and a mirror. Still no luck. The obvious location has been throughly searched without success. Looking at the recent logs where not found has been recorded, it seems that this cache may have been muggled. It would be helpfull if the watchers or owner would check the status of this Little Red cache.
 
11-Nov-10
Looked where the clue suggested but did not find.
 
06-Nov-10
Not found

What a peaceful oasis in the middle of a hectic area. Took a bit of searching. Thanks Team Gunn Parker for this cache.
