The turning point of our morning walk. Enjoyed reading the history of the area on the nearby sign. I'm sure I must have walked past here previously but I have no recollection and can't say I've heard of Mrs Macquarie's chair before! That's a bit embarrassing Wink Thanks for making me pay attention.

Resan gr till Sydney i Australien och sedan vidare till Christchurch och Dunedin p Nya Zeeland .P resan ker Tigertassen, jag sjlv, ursus67, Lnganfans och Pidjas, vilket gr att vi loggar under det gemensamma namnet "Tulp". Tanken r att vi innan vi ker hemt ska ha beskt ett Megaevent, Geo Toroa.Hlsningar frn Sverige, sdra Lappland Then it was time for a little adventure. The trip goes to Sydney in Australia and then on to Christchurch and Dunedin in New Zealand .On the trip are, Tigertassen, myself, ursus67, Lnganfans and Pidjas go, which means that we log under the common name "Tulp".

After landing back in Sydney on the penultimate leg of my trip last night, I headed out this morning in search of a few caches prior to my event in the Botanical Gardens.This was the last & it took me a while to work through the questions in quite a busy spot this morning. I found the last question a bit tricky but gave it a stab & have already sent my answers to the CO. I've also attached a photo as further evidence of my visit.Found at 10:12Cache #10465TFTC danieloliveira

Over from Perth for a few days for work and taking the opportunity to pick up a few local caches when I can. Today was a work half day so the plan was for a long looping walk from the hotel up through the CBD, via The Rocks, the Opera House, Mrs Macquarie's Chair and back to the hotel. A large group of people taking in the views here... but thankfully the Chair itself was deserted Smile Took a seat and let the mind wander Smile Answers on their way to the CO. TFTC

Bisoutje and I have spent another day at the Sydney Harbour and the Royal Botanical gardens next door. We've explored the area at night but during the day these walks are just as beautiful. Many photos were took which is usually an indication of a day well spent.This is probably the most interesting chair story I have recently heard about. Great place for a chair indeed. Info in listing is very informative and answers at GZ were quickly gathered. They are sent to the CO.TFTC!

After my architect's tour of the Opera House, I headed over to the Botanical Gardens. The rain was beginning to fall, but I thought I could still cache without difficulty. That was true until I was too soaked to even think.I hadn't read the cache description before getting to GZ and was enchanted by this lovely spot. I wish the weather had been better so I could enjoy it more. My answers have been sent to the CO. Thank you for the smiley and the fun! The day:I was visiting from the U.S. and had just completed my goal of driving all the way up the east coast starting in Melbourne and ending in Port Douglas over a few weeks. I arrived in Sydney three days ago as the last stop before heading home. I was sad that my adventure was coming to an end, but I was looking forward to exploring Sydney including the architect's tour of the Opera House. Sadly, the weather was miserable, so it was a soggy trek around town.Many thanks to all the geocachers who placed and continue to maintain their geocaches for folks like me to find. I know it's not always easy, but I do appreciate you.

Yesterday Laura and I flew from Melbourne and arrived incredibly smoothly to Sydney, our first time in the big city. We slept well and long, and woke up with a needing desire to explore the city. We had just this one full day to explore the city before we head out tomorrow, so we knew we had to make it count.We couldnt pass up the opportunity to walk to the middle of the beautiful Harbor Bridge, making it halfway across and then turning back south towards the harbor and docks. From there, we took a ferry towards the zoo. While we didnt have any interest in seeing the locked up animals, I did want to visit another county and that gave us an opportunity to see Sydneys downtown from another perspective, and I managed to break my sunglasses. After returning on the ferry back to land, we visited the Opera house and continued our walk around the river bank, rushing a bit to make it to this viewpoint. Little did we know that the only sunset view of the harbor would be ruined by the ginormous mega cruise boat which departed the dock just as the sun was setting. Nonetheless, we did have a nice view. We found a little lookout point nearby to sit at and figure out our dinner plans, but as Laura was taking in the sunset view, I quickly ran around the corner to take a look at Mrs Macquarie's Chair. It was already dark when I got here, but I did my best to gather the answers needed. After writing down my answers, I snapped a photo at 5:51 pm and drafted this log, making this our 7132nd overall find. Thanks Lord of the Rocks for another earthcache (further away; our last find of yours was in Portugal) and for spicing up our Saturday while down under in ????Australia for our spring break, visiting from slightly-distant ????Myanmar! For my own personal statistics; this is the fifty-third of 112 geocaches we visited down under while on spring break, excluding the 56 adventure lab caches we visited and 28 Waymarks visited. It was quite a long and exciting day for us, as we walked 21.17km throughout the city while visiting twenty-five stashes just this one day.

Day 20 of our roadtrip in Australia. We're in Sydney now, so no road tripping the next days, instead a lot of walking. There's so much to see here! And what we love so far, a lot of the caches have very precise hints, very tourist friendly. Today's plan is the Opera guided tour and the Botanical Gardens. We hope of course that the rain forecasted will not come. Great views from here, one can imagine why this was Mrs McQuaries chair. Answers collected and sent.

Exciting times over the next couple of weeks as we takeoff for the Capital GeoBash in Canberra! Its going to be a flood of Sandgropers over east, with a host of West Aussies making the trek east for the event. Im travelling with fellow Cockburn Crew members Leg5 and Barnzy12, starting in Sydney and hitting the road to Canberra, before returning back to Sydney. Honourary mention to our fellow member, Cravo10, who couldnt make it after recently introducing a new geocacher to the world the week prior. Once in Canberra, the agenda is set, well team up with a host of Western Australians to conquer caches. Collectively, were hoping to make it the biggest ever weekend for cache finding. Following the event, the journey continues back to Sydney, with a mission to clean up caches and new Local Government Areas (LGAs), ensuring no cache is left unturned in this epic geocaching adventure. Something tells me that well need a holiday after this, well, holiday. All logs have been signed as WAC to save space, abbreviation for Western Australia Crew. Cheers Lord of the Rocks! Big GrinJoin us in Augusta, in Western Australias South West, for WA Goes Big 2024 (GCAGV8Y) on Friday 20 to Sunday 22 September. Log your will attend now!

Greetings from Seattle! I'm down under (for the first time!) with jtcoffee to attend the Great Leap Forward - the mega-event in Adelaide. Of course, we will also find as many caches, counties, waymarks, and adventures as possible Today also marks the conclusion of my 2+ year streak that ended somewhere over the Pacific as we skipped Thursday! TBH, I had no plans to start another streak after I completed a 366-day run years ago in my original home coordinates of the Midwest. Yet, after relocating to the land o'plenty of caches in the Pacific Northwest, I found myself on another streak quite unintentionally Anyway, this was one of the first finds in Australia and I'm at peace with the streak ending as there are some amazing experiences on the horizon! - Experience Taylor Swift's Eras Tour in Sydney (TONIGHT!) - Drive the Great Ocean Road - Visit the Lord of the Rings filming locations in New Zealand While here, we also decided to tackle a challenge cache requiring 31 Earthcaches, and 31 Virtuals in 31 days ([GC32TBZ](https://www.geocaching.com/geocache/GC32TBZ_31-31-earth-challenge) and [GC32TC2](https://www.geocaching.com/geocache/GC32TC2_31-31-31-earth-and-virtual-challenge)). This is no. 1 of 31! Answers have been sent in (or will be soon) by Jessie, my personal Earthcache coordinator. Thanks for contributing to our first day in Oz!

Greetings from Seattle! I am lucky enough to attend the Great Leap Forward Mega-Event in Adelaide with my fellow Lackey and best geo-buddy giacaches, and we arrived this morning - kicked off our shoes and sweaters, put on sunscreen and sandals and headed into the wilds to find some caches in a new place - all before we headed to Accor Stadium to see Taylor Swift. What a day!It's hard to pass up a great EarthCache - so, we didn't! I loved checking out this area, and imagining the planning of making this chair. We sat down to take in the view - and then went around the corner for some gelato Thanks so much for adding to the trip!!

Second day in Australia ??. This is my first visit to this extraordinary continent and the fulfillment of a long-cherished dream. In the past, it always failed due to the lack of a travel companion. Now I had the chance to join a large group of mainly German geocachers and I was delighted to take it. On my walk through the botanical garden, I also passed this Earthcache. I took notes on the questions. A souvenir photo of the place is a matter of course. I sent the answers to the owner via Message Center. Thank you for laying & taking care Smile.Zweiter Tag in Australien ??. Fr mich ist es der erste Besuch dieses auergewhnlichen Kontinents und die Erfllung eines lang gehegten Traums. Es scheiterte in der Vergangenheit immer an einem fehlenden Reisebegleiter. Jetzt gab es die Chance mich einer groen Gruppe von berwiegend deutschen Geocachern anzuschlieen und ich ergriff sie mit Freuden. Auf meinem Spaziergang durch den Botanischen Garten kam ich auch an diesem Earthcache vorbei. Ich machte mir Notizen zu den Fragen. Ein Erinnerungsfoto von dem Ort ist doch selbstverstndlich. Die Antworten habe ich per Message Center an den Owner verschickt. Danke fr das Legen & Pflegen Smile.

After arriving in Sydney we (Team Downunder24) discovered the area???????by looking for some caches. ??"Mrs Macquarie's Chair - DP/EC52" was one of the earthcaches we were interested in.
