Sydney Opera House Rocks - Feldspar Sydney, New South Wales, Australia
By 2qt2bstr818 on 27-Apr-17. Waypoint GC74PCE

I arrived in Sydney this morning after a long night of flying from Atlanta and through Los Angeles. The flight was great, nice and smooth and I was able to sleep so I wasn't tired when I got off the plane. Going through customs was a breeze. It look me longer to get the rental car keys than to get through customs. One issue with my hotel reservation was I should have booked the hotel to check in last night so I could have dropped my bags and showered before starting to get outside an explore. Alas, the hotel was not ready and I finally ended up just parking at the Opera House and checking things out to pass the time.As I was wondering around the Opera House, it began to rain but not too heavily. I was able to stop and complete the two ECs here during my visit. I have already submitted the answers to this EC to the CO.

This cache was found today and brings our overall cache find tally to 13831. A nice wander around the opera house, Ill consider the toilets in a different light in future! Answers have been sent via the message centre. Thanks 2qt2bstr818 for the cache.

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

We are four ladies from Sweden who are visiting Australia and New Zeeland We are logged as TULP This was one of the caches we found Thanks from Sweden

It is a must to visit Sydney Opera when visiting this beautiful city. TFTC and interesting facts. Greetings from Switzerland!

Another very interesting EarthCache that got me to look at the construction of this building and why granite was chosen. Looking closely, it was a great choice, as the construction is in fantastic condition despite the heavy foot traffic. Thanks again for the cache.

I am visiting Sydney from further west and of course a visit to this iconic location was included. I was lucky to attend a wedding, a meal, a musical and a guided tour as well as general wandering around. Quite the adventure !This earth cache challenged me a little. Geology is not my strong point. It was raining on the day I was collecting information and my muggle partner was not playing the game.Regardless, I love the fact that earth caches prompt me to observe more closely and think a little - it certainly enriches the total experience I have sent the answers and will amend this note log to a find if authorised .

It was cool to take a closer look at the materials that constitute the Opera House! Here's is at the dais near GZ.TFTC

Cache n. 3601Found it during todays nice sunny walk in Sydney. Very nice place to visit. Answers were sent. Greetings from the Czech Republic. Thank you for the cache.

Visited Sydney (from Adelaide) for my birthday weekend and managed to find 83 Adventure Lab locations + 32 caches + walked 64km in 3 days.Was good to visit this iconic area and make the observations. Did the outside observations before making my way inside (have never been inside before).Answers submitted to the COAn interesting Earthcache!

What a beautiful day in the most beautiful Harbour in the world

What a fantastic day spent in our beautiful harbour.it never ceases to amaze me!!TFTC

Found with fitzy_1965 whilst in Sydney for a work awards night overnight. This morning, we decided to do some caching whilst we put a bit of charge back in the car. It was nice to wander around the City (even in the sporadic drizzle) and visiting places I hadn't been for a good number of years.It has been a long while since I visited here. The first time was only 1 year after it opened. I have a photo of that on my wall.

Found with minniek during a weekend visit to Sydney.minniek and I are attending a Non-Geocaching Event (a what??) in Sydney this weekend, and we of course grabbed a few caches along the way for International Geocaching Day. After checking out of our hotel this morning and plugging in the car, we wandered around for a few hours cherry picking a few caches. We wanted to find a few of the rarer cache types for todays date, so we headed down to the Opera House for the Virtual plus the Earthcaches. What a fun Earthcache to do. While I have visited the Opera House dozens of times over the years, today I learnt quite a bit about it between these three caches. Despite some closed areas today the required info has been gathered, and minniek will send in our answers soon. Piccie attached.Thanks 2qt2bstr818 !! Favourite Point of course !

After a trip to the suburbs for a very old cache, I got the bus back to the city to pick off a few outstanding caches from my target list.This was the last & although I worked through most of the questions earlier, I didn't visit the restrooms until the evening when we returned to watch the premier of *Cos Fan Tutte*! All the information gathered, I sent my answers to the CO & have attached a photo as further evidence of my visit.Found at 18:38Cache #10473TFTC 2qt2bstr818

On geocaching with Graubunden, all day in Sydney CBD one and half weeks ago. Over 25 geofinds that day, including two sets of Adventure Labs. Plus relaxation time being refreshed with tasty foods and drinks. An urban outing.Today is a cold wet winter day, not so ideal for bush geocaching. Time to work out the required answers to complete this Earthcache, now sent off. Heres my mandatory mugshot - holding up a handy traceable (since passed over to another fellow geocacher to carry on). TFTEC 2qt2bstr818

SurdiVisio and I visited the Sydney Opera House. We took photos. Geohusband worked out the answers. Beautiful sunny day. Thank you.

For one day we are in Sydney and of course could not miss this place. Nice to do a EC here, my first one that I solved on the loo and it was quite educational too! All answers have been provided to the CO. 2qt2bstr818, cheers for placing this Other sized 1.5/1.5 EarthCache Geocache Sydney Opera House Rocks - Feldspar.

Greetings from WalesStaying close by on our Australia tour so we took a wander around The Rocks, an Opera house tour, a walk along to McQuaries Point and then to the Hyde Park Barracks. A few caches found as well.A fantastic tour of the Opera house including watching about 15 minutes of rehearsal of an Opera which was a lovely bonus. Once the tour was over I got the info for cache with the answers sent to the CO so I hope they are OK. Thanks for the cache.

A lovely day here at the harbour with lots of other people enjoying it too!An interesting earthcache; answers have been sent to the CO.Thanks!

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.I have logged many EC's about granite and feldspar over the years but rarely one this informative. I learned a lot by reading the listing and I enjoyed doing the fieldwork witj the info in the back of my mind. I had to connect the dots myself here and I loved doing that. I hope my answers make sense. They have been sent to the CO.TFTC and fav point awarded.

Nice to look. Answers sent. Tftc

So cool to discover this iconic building by looking closer at the stones that its made of! Thank you for sharing all the knowledge about granites and feldspar and the Opera. It was fun looking at the stones and searching online for more information. Answers are sent separately.Thank you for the cache!

Probably over thought this one but answers sent. Made me look at the area a little closer. TFTC

Tftc. Arrived in Australia yesterday and for our first full day here we decided to do a sightseeing walk through Hyde park, Botanical gardens, Mrs Macquaries chair, Opera house and back to the hotel via the shopping district. Along the way, we managed to find and log multiple caches. This was one of 'em.

I decided to head into Sydney CBD to attend an event at the Botanical Gardens today. When I arrived earlier than expected, I took the opportunity to grab a few of the great geocaches in Circular Quay and surrounds. This earthcache taught me a few things about the Opera House I wasn't previously aware of. ThanksAnswers sent.Thanks for find #6227TNLN

15:43Our second day in Sydney and a ferry trip to Watsons Bay to have a look around and pick up a couple of caches.On our return we had some time up our sleve, so we checked out this cache.Information sent to CO and image attached.Thanks to the CO who placed this cache.37066

Visited the site today in dry, calm conditions. Required information sent to CO for due consideration.

Such a pretty part of the world!

We visited on a perfect day and the building certainly does not disappoint. Thanks for the cache. A favorite point.

I visited this interesting spot with karen rinora. We made our observations and discussed the questions. Answers will be sent. Thanks for bringing me by!

Fivegk and I were here, on a caching holiday, from Canada. Answers have been submitted. After a wet start to the day, the sun emerged to reveal a lovely blue sky. Thanks for bringing us here today!!

This cache was originally on my list for my first afternoon in Sydney but the weather was horrible and there were tons of folks about. I was there early for my Opera House tour and was able to look at the rocks more closely. The whole Opera House is stunning including the thoughtful use of this colorful stone.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.

We are visiting Sydney for several days before to head to north of Australia. The visit at the Opera is a must-do! What a wonder to really be face to this world-famous building! Thanks for the earthcache that allows to discover more about this building.

Fun little earth cache. Cool textures.Answers have been sent.Tftc

First proper day to explore the city, and I'm hoping that coming out early will beat the rain! This is such a famous location you can't not visit it, although the caches definitely help!Answers sent, tftcPhotos to be uploaded later with better WiFi

Interesting building. As beeing a surveyor the base reference point was important. Greetings from Finland and TFTC

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. Second EC at this iconic building. The QAPF diagram is quite hard to understand, hoping we have managed some correct answers. Thanks and kind regards from Switzerland, Hinni&Simo

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 14171, hoping to clock over the 15,000 finds in the week in New South Wales and ACT.Thanks to 2qt2bstr818 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.

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.

Visited it during 28-days geotrip to Australia, N.Caledonia, Vanuatu, Fiji, Am.Samoa, Fr.Polynesia with Marci, Ch. Sometimes we logged as "MT" or "Jonea" or "MTCh". Thanks for showing nice caches and places. MT-Jonea from Brno city in Czechia EU. FP

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 2qt2bstr818! 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!

SM325 and I are on a bucket list trip to New Zealand and Australia. This is our first time here and we are having a blast. We traveled here from Ohio, USA. The scenery has been magnificent! We really enjoyed walking around the harbor today. TFTF!

Mrs. Amazing and I are on a 26 day bucket list trip of New Zealand and Australia. Our last stop is Sydney for three days glorious days. As the quality of rock used on this project was so important, it must have cost a butt load of dollars to build this marvel. So honored to be here!This one gets a favorite point from me. Thanks so much for putting this one out as well as feeding my insatiable addiction!

Very interesting to check these features around the house!Found on the Mega Capital Geobash coastal loop via Adelaide - Barrington - coast to Mexico City loop.

Visiting from the US, specifically Ohio on a grand adventure leading up to the Capital Geobash. Spending the day today exploring Sydney. Started with riding the train to central and then walked towards the harbour and opera house. Thanks for the Earthcache!

Earthcaches pop up in the most iconic locations.. It didn't appear any other tourists were taking the close inspection we were and funnily enough, I've never had to visit the ladies loo to find an answer either. ?? And that's why we love earthcaches. TFTEC 21t2bstr818. Answers sent.

On holiday in Sydney, caching when we can between attractions. We spent quite a while at the iconic Opera House, and enjoyed our visit. We learned quite a bit about the granite here.Thanks for the fun earthcache!

During our two-month trip through New Zealand and Australia, we flew today from Aukland in New Zealand to Sydney in Australia.Of course, we also went to see the Opera House. We visited this earth cache, looked for the answers to the questions asked and took a nice photo.**2qt2bstr818**, thanks for the cache.

We are currently on a eight week holiday which is mostly spent in New Zealand and Australia. However, the first three days were spent in Signapore as a nice break from an otherwise long flight. We had about three weeks in New Zealand that passed quickly. This morning we flew from Auckland to Sydney where we arrived early in the afternoon. Took the subway to our hotel. We have a few hours before it is getting dark so we want to visit the Harbour Bridge and the Opera House. Although we have been here before it remains a marvellous place to visit. This time we had a closer look at the granite and visited the restrooms. The answers have been sent by janvandevis. Thank you very much for this educational earthcache.

We had a great morning at Circular Quay catching caches. Plenty of exercise, too.Thanks for helping us get a closer look at this great building.

Will log tonight!

Citius, Altius, Fortius! I was obsessed with the Sydney Olympics growing up so it was extra special to visit the Opera House on the first day of my trip "down under" with jtcoffee. While our main goal is to attend the Great Leap Forward Mega-event in Adelaide on Thursday, we're also packing in as many other adventures as possible.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 * Finally tackle a challenge cache requiring 31 Earthcaches, and 31 Virtuals in 31 days (GC32TBZ and GC32TC2)This was the second Earthcache of this trip and at a place I've always wanted to see. Our answers have been sent by Jessie, my personal earchcache coordinator. Thanks for placing this one and 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!Since I've learned about this building I've wanted to see it - it felt like you don't see Sydney without taking in this building up close! I was glad to see there were so many geocaches there to celebrate how cool a building it is.Answers have been sent in for both of us. Thanks so much for adding to this amazing trip!!

Enjoyed stopping by these enjoyable earthcaches! Certainly a grand structure to observe!

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. The day started with visiting the event at the opera. I had already admired it from afar. Up close, the shine fades, although the architecture is still impressive. The effects of the weather are clearly visible. After the event, I went with Biggidag and Sr. Elli to the earthcaches at the opera house. Together we took notes on the questions. A souvenir photo of the impressive site is a matter of course. I sent the answers to the owner via message center. Thank you for laying & taking care .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. Der Tag startete mit dem Besuch des Events an der Oper. Von der Ferne habe ich sie bereits bewundert. Aus der Nhe betrachtet verliert sich der Glanz, obwohl die Architektur immer noch beeindruckend ist. Die Witterungseinflsse sind deutlich zu erkennen. Nach dem Event ging es mit Biggidag und Sr.Elli zu den Earthcaches an der Oper. Gemeinsam machten wir uns Notizen zu den Fragen. Ein Erinnerungsfoto von dem eindrucksvollen Ort ist doch selbstverstndlich. Die Antworten habe ich per Message Center an den Owner verschickt. Danke fr das Legen & Pflegen .

Mit 37 Geocachern, aus Deutschland, Dnemark, Luxemburg und der Schweiz, ging es auf groe Reise. Drei Wochen nach Australien und Neuseeland, beginnend mit einem Zwischenstopp in Doha in Katar. So lange und so weit weg von zu Hause war ich noch nie. Eine aufregende Zeit.Beim Geocaching lag der Focus auf viele unterschiedliche Cachetypen, aber auch besondere Wertungen, Challenges und besonders ein paar sehr alte Caches aus den Jahren 2000 und 2001. Aber auch natrlich ganz besonders die Geocaches, die zu Fu vom Hotel aus gut erreichbar waren.Natrlich wurde stand aber nicht nur das Geocaching im Mittelpunkt, sondern auch die Sehenswrdigkeiten der einzelnen Stationen, die wir besuchten, verdienten ihre Aufmerksamkeit.In die Logbcher trugen wir uns mit unserem Teamnamen "Downunder 2024" ein, Logbuchplatz sparend und effizient.Es war eine ganz besondere Reise im groen Team, das auch sehr viel Spa gemacht hat.Heute besuchten wir die Gegenden rund um Sydney. Aufgrund der Vielzahl der Caches reicht es berwiegend nur zu einem Einheitslog, fr den ich mich bei den unterschiedlichen Ownern hiermit schon mal entschuldigen mchte.Danke fr diesen Geocache.

Three weeks to Australia and New Zealand, starting with a stopover in Doha, Qatar. I have never been so long and so far away from home. An exciting time.When geocaching, the focus was on many different cache types, but also special ratings, challenges and especially a few very old caches from the years 2000 and 2001. But also, of course, especially the geocaches that were easily accessible on foot from the hotel.Of course, the focus wasn't just on geocaching; the sights of the individual stations we visited also deserved attention.We entered our team name Downunder 2024 in the logbooks, saving logbook space and efficiently.It was a very special trip in a large team, which was also a lot of fun.Today we visited the areas around Sydney.Due to the large number of caches, there is usually only one standard log, for which I would like to apologize to the different owners.Thanks for this geocache. Thanks for the elaboration. Thank you for showing me.Kind regards from Duisburg / GermanyAndyThis log entry is translated with the help of Google.

Together with 36 other geocachers, the KiSt team undertook a very long trip to Australia ???? and New Zealand ???? for three weeks. On both the outward and return journeys, there was a stopover in Doha, the capital of Qatar ????.We experienced a great deal on this trip and gained many very different impressions of the two countries, their nature and their culture. Of course, the main focus was on visiting as many caches of as many different types as possible and also all accessible old cans. However, we also made sure to visit many special places of interest and to gain as comprehensive an impression as possible of nature and its flora and fauna.To save the logbooks, we usually signed in with our team name **Downunder24**. For "special" cans, however, we have not missed the opportunity to leave our nickname as well.This beautiful cache is now also one of our finds.Due to the large number of caches visited, it is unfortunately not possible for us to write an individual log for each can, which is why we would like to apologize to the owners for this collective log.We also met other cachers at some of the events and were able to share our experiences. Many thanks to the event owners!Of course we would like to thank all the owners for showing us the great locations, the sometimes tricky puzzles, exciting multis and wherigos, as well as the interesting virtuals and earth caches - TFTC!!!---In der Besetzung KiSt unternahmen wir zusammen mit 36 weiteren Geocachern fr drei Wochen eine sehr weite Reise nach Australien ???? und Neuseeland ????.

Natrlich lag ein Hauptaugenmerk darauf, mglichst viele Caches mglichst vieler unterschiedlicher Typen und auch alle erreichbaren alten Dosen zu besuchen. Darber haben wir es aber nicht versumt, vielen besonderen Sehenswrdigkeiten einen Besuch abzustatten und uns von der Natur und deren Flora und Fauna einen mglichst umfassenden Eindruck zu verschaffen.Um die Logbcher zu schonen, haben wir uns dort meist mit unserem Teamnamen **Downunder24** eingetragen. Bei "besonderen" Dosen haben wir es uns aber auch nicht nehmen lassen, zustzlich unseren Nicknamen zu hinterlassen.Auch dieser schne Cache zhlt jetzt zu unseren Funden.Aufgrund der groen Anzahl der besuchten Caches ist es uns leider nicht mglich, zu jeder Dose einen individuellen Log zu verfassen, weshalb wir uns bei den Ownern fr diesen Sammellog entschuldigen wollen.Auf einigen Events haben wir auch andere Cacher kennengelernt und konnten unsere Erfahrungen austauschen. Vielen Dank an die Event-Owner!Natrlich wollen wir uns bei allen Ownern fr das Zeigen der tollen Orte, die teils kniffligen Rtsel, spannenden Multis und Wherigos, sowie die interessanten Virtuals und Earthcaches bedanken - TFTC!!

After arriving in Sydney we (Team Downunder24) discovered the area???????by looking for some caches. ??"Sydney Opera House Rocks - Feldspar" was one of the earthcaches we were interested in. We could find the area and the needed informations too. Interesting location. We have learned a lot by reading the listing. The mail with our answers were sent to CO. Thanks 2qt2bstr818 for showing that place??

Then depending on the time that we will have left at each of our stages, all caches allowing usto visit a nice new place.We only visited a tiny part of this beautiful country which makes us want to come back although it is not next door and I would also remember the warm welcome of Australians and their kindness.I sincerely thank all the poseurs without whom the exploration of all theseplaces known or much more discreet would not have been possible. A big thank you for your personal investment for the pleasure of all and ours in particular during this beautiful trip shared in friendly company ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~**Against a sedentary lifestyle, geocache!

6 months ago, during a frenzy, we said to ourselves "why not going to the mega in Adelaide for the leapday". From scratch we moved on to preparing an 18-day project in Australia. Our objectives are simple, visit a small part of this immense continent while validating a few caches. There are so many caches (impossible to do everything) that we will select. Our plan will allow us to visit Sydney, Canberra, Melbourne, Mount Gambier and finish in Adelaide for the famous Mega.Today, after my event in botanic parc, we visit the opera. It is beautifull. We are very enjoy by this visit.WE are lucky, we were sheltered in the opera house at the start of the storm. We were well watered in the afternoon for the rest of our visits. Thanks for the cache on this beautifull building

Thanks for the eartcache. It was quite interesting. Answers have been sent

#17.629Unfortunately, we only saw the opera house from a distance the day before yesterday. Today the time was right and we took a closer look at the imposing building. It really is incredible how visionary the building was back then. An absolute highlight to marvel at from near and far. Thank you for showing us around and for the information.TFTC

I enjoyed this earth, Geocache very much. Ive done many many geocaches discussing granites. This one was very thorough and a little bit different than other ones. I enjoyed exploring its composition. Ive been by the opera house many times. 30 years ago, and today. We had the pleasure of going to see the magic flute opera the other night. Thanks for creating this interesting earth Geocache. Favored point.
