Grabbed this one while on holiday with my eldest daughter in Sydney. We are here to see Hamilton and Dear Evan Hansen. Led my kiddo in this direction as it looked like a nice easy grab and I wanted atleast one on our trip. Just had a wonder in the gardens. Half way across the crossing we and dome others were stranded for an unusually long light change. Next minute the King Charles prosession wizzed passed with police at the front and several unmarked and an ambulance. They were heading back from church to Government House. Had I have not been discombobulated with the direction of this cache in the intersection I would have been retrieving it at that very moment and looked slightly sus!! Nevertheless the cache was in hand 2 min after the King passed by. Thanks for a nice easy grab!
Four ladies from Sweden (Tigertassen, ursus67, Lnganfans, pidjas) are visiting Australia. This day we took a long walk as the days before, more than 15 km. We mostly log as TULP.This was one of the places we visited.A big thank you to the CO for this cache.
D var det dags fr lite ventyr. 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". The idea is that before we go home we should have visited a Megaevent, Geo Toroa. Greetings from Sweden, southern Lapland

Reperio 15:52Day 3 of our 5 day visit to Sydney for a nursing conference, and my muggle friend and I took some time away from proceedings to explore the city and find some caches. We decided to wander over to Hyde Park, and so managed to tick this one off along the way. Definitely do not want to drop this one over the other side.Gratias rinsemesocksAs a well spent day brings happy sleep, a well spent life brings happy death - LDV

I see what you mean about the Opera House. Busy Saturday traffic. The crossing was easy as everyone stood still waiting for lights to change.TFTC

Lot of safe access options. Thanks for the cache. Said hellow to King Edward VII for peace, progress and unity for Australia.
It was our penultimate day in Sydney and some of the heaviest rain we've ever seen - and coming from the UK that's saying something! So we decided grab a couple of caches in-between drying off in nearby pubs. Thanks for the caches!
Found whilst in Sydney for GWS v Bulldogs yesterday, a very successful weekend if I do say so myself! Calculated the safest route to GZ and then made a quick find. The muggles were distracted by the bikies nearby. TFTC!
Bit random to get to GZ here. Cleaning up some caches around botanic gardens area. All is good here. TFTC
Auch diesen Cache konnten wir heute auf unserer Tour durch sydney finden Thanks for the Cache!
Sydney trip for Egyptian Exhibition Day 2. I spent the morning in the Egyptian Rames II & Pharaohs Gold exhibition at the Sydney Museum. They had some great stuff on display and there was more gold from different times than I expected given everything we hear about all the grave robbing in antiquity. Once I was finished there, it was time for a walk. I headed through Hyde Park and on down to Bennalong point to check out the Opera house. After a bit of lunch I went via Circular quay up into the Rocks where I saw some interesting excavations under new buildings. The track back to my accommodation was via a few back lane caches before it started to rain and I retired inside for the rest of the afternoon. With traffic all over the place, it seemed I had to look in many directions at once to get to this bit of railing that did not seem to have a proper path to it. Once there, though, the cache was found without any problems, and I was able to get back over the roads in one piece.Thanks for the cache rinsemesocks46261.7 TNLNVisited: World Traveling Gold GC A#6 & 2014 Cache Warrior 3 A#296**Albida**
Cockburn Crew on tour to the Canberra Mega. Day 1 involved a bunch of caching around Sydney before making our way to Canberra for the Capital Geobash. We found a huge variety of caches, and its great to cache in new territory that we havent explored much in the past. Unlike our home state of Western Australia where we have found just about anything and everything.A beautiful day with great weather and even better company. Thank you to the local COs for a great day in and around this great country of ours.
Out and about again, headed over to Sydney early in the morning, grabbed a hire car and got some local hides before driving to Canberra for the MEGA. Super excited my first MEGA and heading over with 2 others from the Cockburn Crew - signed log as WAC to save time.This is 14169, hoping to clock over the 15,000 finds in the week in New South Wales and ACT.Thanks to rinsemesocks for the caches we found.********** ********** ********** ********** ********** **********OZMEGA2024 OZMEGA2024 OZMEGA2024 OZMEGA2024 OZMEGA2024 OZMEGA2024********** ********** ********** ********** ********** **********Head over to Australian Capital Territory for Capital GeoBash MEGA - Canberras first ever Mega Event. Easter 2024 (GC9PNFB): - 5 day event at Canberra Park adjacent to EPIC (Canberra Showgrounds) on the Federal Highway, only 6km from the centre of the city.The mascot for the Mega is Gangles the endemic Gang Gang Cockatoo, a bird you may see or hear while in Canberra.The official website - geobash.ozmega.com.auACT has over 4700 active caches, power trails, and over 100 Lab Adventures. Heaps of challenge caches, hikes for geocaches for all levels of skills and fitness.
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 on Good Friday, 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. Todays plan was to head to the inner west to knock off a few LGAs and undertake a cleanup of CBD caches, before shooting off to catch up with friends in the evening in North Sydney. I eyed off a few caches and LGAs to clean up in the process. If youre receiving this log, the chances are that todays mission was a success.All logs have been signed as WAC to save space, abbreviation for Western Australia Crew. Cheers rinsemesocks! Join 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!

Easy find after carefully crossing the roads with a fair amount of traffic.TFTC
Visiting Australia and today we are back in Sydney. It is such a lovely city. We are always looking for oldies and some of the other caches nearby. We have found the cachers around here super friendly and helpful. Thanks for the smile
