A check today has revealed the cache has definitely gone missing. That one didn't last long. Need a rethink here!
I've decided to let this one go. Two new TFTC Sydney caches will be appearing in the area soon. ??????
Even with all the hints. But the ferry was on its way so it was a quick look.
Hmmmm, this one shouldn't be that hard. Will continue to monitor and will put it on my list for a maintenance visit.
I’m visiting from Brisbane and decided to do a walk from Milson’s Point to Bradley’s Head, finding caches along the way.
Super busy here as a ferry had just arrived and there was a bus at gz which soon departed. So between passing muggles, I retrieved the cache, SL and made sure I put the lid on tightly! Tftc

Directly after disembarking the ferry I walked up to this one and quickly found it thanks to the excellent hint. As soon as the stream of muggles from the ferry had subsided, I fished it up and signed the log before returning the hide as found. A quick and easy find on a beautiful day. 
A big thank you to TFTC_Sydney for creating and maintaining this geocache, so that the rest of us can entertain our hobby. The log is signed as Bubbles.

The new spot has been checked by our friendly Reviewer so this one can come back into play.
Not only a nice quick find due to the hint, perfect time passer as we waited for the ferry. Nice clean new log too. 2nd cache in Sydney during our 111 day world cruise. Tftc
While at the Zoo on Thursday. My wife watches, The Zoo Down Under,and thus was the highlight of our trip to Sydney.

This one requires relocation. I've now removed the cache and will sort out a new spot soon.
An easy find on our way to the Zoo!

I came across on the ferry. Once the noisy horde had headed for the zoo I wandered over and made a quick find. Cache and log are good. Then I took a walk on the path to the next cache, before returning to catch the ferry back. This will claim a find in another Council area; Mosman Council, and the last council area in Sydney for me, without a find. TFTC TFTC_Sydney.
In Sydney to visit my daughter. After a hole day at the zoo we went to the ferry. Had enough time to get the cache. Thanks for the cache. Regards from Sweden.
This one was actually quite tricky to do! When I arrived on the ferry there were people everywhere and a zoo representative trying to usher me up the path.
On my return when I was early less people around so I easily made my way over to GZ. made the find and then realised that the zoo rep had spotted me and assumed I was trying to get in the wrong gate to the zoo. She then tried to usher me over the completely empty road for h&s reasons. Which I complied with after I had pfaffed about a bit enabling me to replace the cache.
Tyfc!

For my 50th birthday, Sandra booked the family a few days down in Sydney to explore and see the sights. And whilst exploring, a chance to find a cache or two
Today was our last day before heading back to Queensland. We caught the ferry to Taronga Zoo and spent the day looking at the animals. Unfortunately after the lion escape attempt last week they were off limits (we wanted the kids to see them as Sandra and I have seen loads), and the tiger was sleeping in amongst the bamboo. We did see the otters (the coolest animals ever), red panda, sun bear, giraffe and stinky elephants.
This was a nice quick find whilst waiting for the ferry.
Thanks!!

So nice to find these caches in easy access for tourists areas - well done - its back home today so i look forward to more next visit to Sydney
Found during a caching raid on this headland. We enjoyed a 5km walk picking up several caches and an AL. TFTC
Wandered across the road for this one while we waited for the return ferry. SL. TFTC.
Owl and Eagle were back in town on the Coral Princess again and headed off for a visit to the Zoo. Owl was delighted to discover another cache in her favourite Sydney series was in range and made a quick find. The muggles in the area were far too interested in zoo things to be bothered with her antics. Thanks for another TFTC!
I'd been here a couple of times in the past but was unable to even search for the cache because of close by zoo officials or bus drivers looking on, but on today's trip down the coast was clear when I arrived at the wharf after walking around from Balmoral and was able to make a quick find.
Many thanks for another enjoyable cache in this series.

Got to GZ and knew where it was. Just when I was going get cache a security guard yells out is someone picking u up. I just say yep. Grab the cache sign quickly and I’m gone
No problems here before taking the ferry back to Circular. The folks in the queue totally oblivious as to what I was doing. Thanks for another
Spent the day at Taronga Zoo, just the day after the lions had escaped. We didn't care much about the lions anyway, as we wanted to see Australian animals and visit our cousins, the sun bears.
Before going up to the zoo in the cable car, we hurried to find the two caches near the wharf. Both were easy to find and in good shape.
After the ferry ride back to Circular Quay we had a look at a huge cruise ship embarking and disembarking hundreds of passengers... definitely not our cup of tea.
Managed to go around the crowd and find two nicely made caches with a view.

TFTC Thank you for hiding this cache. You have shown us a new place and have helped make geocaching an enjoyable activity. Thank you for the hint
Buen día de turismo en nuestra honeymoon. Encontrado junto a @pilicirce.
Gracias por esconder!!

This cache was designed to be an easy find and so it was with few muggles around.

Waiting for the ferry we made this an easy grab ???????
We went for the virtual and had considered visiting the zoo, but time ran and we took the ferry back two caches richer ?

Our first find of these TFTC's. Good idea, easy to find, good hint. Waiting for the ferry together with TurboPar. Did not have the time to visit the Zoo.
Greetings from Denmark.

Waiting for the ferry after completing a nearby AL, so just time for a quick grab here. TFTC TFTC
We have taken a ferry to Taronga on our last evening in Sydney before we fly home to England tomorrow. We have managed to find all the current TFTCs during our holiday. They have been fantastic, a really excellent idea for tourists. Some places we would have visited anyway, others have needed a special trip. Definitely a favourite point for the idea and the maintenance of these caches. Thank you!
