Blue Truck Kirribilli, New South Wales, Australia
By AussiePam on 19-Aug-22. Waypoint GC9YM7M

I had a good look over the truck and surrounds yesterday and again today Had appropriate tools, including gloves Nothing to be foundSuggest this is MIA

CACHE appears to be missing

Time to move on

Unfortunately we have to log a DNF on this one. Following a pretty intensive search of the object and surrounds we didn't find what we were looking for. The Blue Truck alas! is in a very poor state of decomposition and unfortunately MrsA cut her hand during the search..

TFTC from the Kayakviking! Walked past this many times and never noticed. Good look and feel but no cigar.Cheers KV

will try to bring seeds

Many passerbys. Not easily visible

Premire journe Sydney et quelques caches pour le plaisir dont certaines sont super intgres leur environnement.

DNF

Thanks

This was the first geocache I planned on searching for on visiting Sydney. Found on the first bleak, dreary day of my adventure south of the equator after three warm, sunny days..TFTH!!!

On a trip up from Melbourne, and staying nearby. Had walked past this area yesterday. What a cool blue truck.

Eine ganze Weile mussten wir suchen da uns auch der Hint nicht wirklich weiter half.. Doch dann hatte der Junior noch den richtigen Blick Thanks for the Cache!

Brekkie at Celcius then a geocaching adventure! No pencil though.

Beautiful day at Celcius for breakfast then found this baby.

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. Deep in it so we photo it.

A lovely sunny day in Sydney. Today a little shopping and a few caches here and there. Greetings from Finland Thank you for this cache.

Today raija485 and I did a lot of sight-seeing and at the same time, of course, we did geocaching. We found several caches during the day and this was one of them.Thanks for the cache and greetings from Finland!

My second cache I have found in Sydney, during my short day of my one-day stay. Thanks!

Found it again wrote name in it.

I found cache had no pen good spot.

Nacpala jsem si teich, neb jsem vera ani neveeela, a la si znovu dchnout. Venku je stl slunce, nebe bez mrk a horko. A jsem se dostaten vyhajala, la jsem si prohldnout tuto tvr Kirribilli. Je dost nbl, pln krsnch inovnch art deco vil a krom m tu bydl i australsk premir. Kolem jeho dobe steen rezidence jsem la na vyhldku. Od mho hotelu je to za rohem a m opravdu ndhern vhled pes zliv na operu, Harbour bridge a downtown. Odlovila jsem si 2 keky a u t druh zjistila, e pvoz, kterm jsem chtla jet na druhou stranu, u tu nejezd. Sakra, chytila jsem jazyka (lokln osobu) a pan kala, e musm a pod most kolem vody a parkem. No tak jsem la, prochzka by mi nevadila, ale slunce svt moc. Sice jsem se amazala 50, ale njak to nesta. A hlavn nemm vodu a zde nen dn monost si njakou koupit. Kdy jsem konen dolezla k ferry, nafotila most a zaplatila jzdn, tak mi lo ujela ped nosem a to doslova. Tak dalch 15 minut na slunci. Myslm, e jsem si pivodila lehk eh. Nakonec lo dojela a pevezla m na druhou stranu zlivu k hlavnmu lodnmu pestupnmu uzlu. Odsud u je to jen kousek k opee, tak jsem si koupila pit a la si vyzvednout zaplacen lstek na steden pedstaven.

Aspo lstek na operu mi vydali a j si zde obela njak keky, ale ani m to moc nebavilo. Kombinace silnho slunce a mnostv lid vude kolem byla pro m nesnesiteln. Popojela jsem vlakem do sv ji oblben tvrti Potters Point na Kings Cross, vyzvedla si vci zapomenut u kamarda v suice, dala si pivo a mule na andalusk zpsob a pomalu padala tma a j se vydala vlakem zpt na hotel. Dorazila jsem v 9 veer a zcela hotov. Ztra se musm slunci vc vyhbat.Found on today's walk through the city from Kirribilli through Central Quai and the Opera House to Potters Point. It was really hot and too sunny. The cache was found after a while of fumbling around. Nice and cheerful place. Thanks for the cache and greetings from the Czech Republic.

Visiting Sydney from Canada, by way of New Zealand, and of course, out to get some caches as well. Lovely! TFTC

cache was sorta just out in the open so i rehid it in hopefully the correct place TFTC!!

Yes

Still there tho lots of rust. Log dry. Details entered and all back in place. TFTC

Tftc! Cute bit of history

Found it. Interesting story

TFTC

.

As my agenda for the day was mostly collecting partial clues for virtual hides, I needed at least one physical find to tick off a streak day. Construction detours around Luna Park took a few options off the table and I was finished earlier than I expected, so with time to kill before my ferry, checked the app and noticed a few easy trads I hadnt loaded in my PQ so off I headed for a wander around Kirribilli. Maybe didnt read description closely enough as expected something bigger at GZ but clue had cache in hand straight away.

Don't cut your hand. I was looking for a magnetic but then my hand dislodged the cache.TFTC.

Found, with shaneo58. We came down from Newcastle on the train, Getting a bit rusty, potentiontal for a tetnus shot.Signed log and Cache replaced as found.**Thanks For The Cache** AussiePam.This makes the 3rd cache of 8 for today making a grand total of 4268 at 10:59AM on this Thursday the 2nd of November in the Year 2023

Nice little hide.TFTC AussiePam

Sydney Day 8: North Sydney and Kirribilli

It’s the final day in Sydney, and with the flight later in the morning, it was an early day out for me just to clear up some of the last couple of caches on the to-so list, particularly the one at Sub Base Platypus because it was an interesting location. So, a very early ferry right across the harbour for me, which ran straight into a thunderstorm. Braved the weather for my final caches of the trip and made good of the mission, despite returning to the hotel drenched for breakfast.

(End of the cut and paste bit)

The rain started to fall as I alit at Kirribilli Wharf, I had a snap decision of whether to continue with the morning’s plan despite the rain or return to Circular Quay… but I guess a little spring rain won’t hurt anyone. So, I hopped off and climbed up the stairs to Carabella Street to make my mark on this cache.

This lovely example of guerrilla gardening is still thriving with many a planting in bloom. The cache was also mercifully easy to spot despite the rain as it was peeking out of its hide. Grabbed it, and proceeded to sign, but realised that I had dropped my pen somewhere along the way. A photolog will have to suffice, and good thing to, because I didn’t want the logsheet getting soaked while I signed it. Thanks for showing this spot and for the cache!

So very cool! Great little grab and go after a nice walk. TFTC

Easily Found. Magnets don’t work very well though. TFTC

In Sydney for a weekend of exploring from Melb due to geokid getting a painting in the young archies. Our first cache in Sydney!

This was supposed to be a quick find this morning before breakfast and then heading home to Hobart. It ended up taking me a little longer than I’d hoped, primarily because the hint had me looking closer to the side that you are meant to walk on. I’m sure the dim early morning lift didn’t help matters either though . Nonetheless, signed and re-hidden in plenty of time. So many muggles(and muggle turkeys!)
Very cute truck, TFTC.

The Blue Truck was a lot bigger than expected! What a great story. TFTC!

While on my New South Wales, my caching activities have been rather random than well planned. This was another case where this was the nearest cache from my previous stop and in my general direction of travel. I made the find easily and wondered why the feature was where it was. I later read the interesting and informative cache description and all was revealed. Greetings from New Zealand.

To commemorate my very first trip to Australia I went and found a geocache conveniently placed by where I am staying. Found it and marked a favorite to show the love behind this being my first non North America cache and first Australian one. Thanks.

First cache in far too long. Life got busy! It was nice to have a quiet wonder in a beautiful street. The hint perplexed me at first but luckily had an aha! moment shortly after. Clever hint.
TFTC AussiePam

TFTC. Smart hint

I’m visiting from Brisbane and met up with the CO for a coffee this morning - lovely to meet you Pam. Then we went to this cute spot where the cache was found easily. Tftc

737 for the tribe

Delightful bit of history in the description. Happily could park right near the cache today and pleased to report the blue truck is still there and the replacement cache is intact. Gosh the muggles come from every direction here and you wonder how many are gazing through their windows at you... Reccomend stealth and hint reading to reduce time spent here!

SL and replaced as found. TFTC AussiePam - loving the North Sydney colour pallate

Cache replaced
Good to go.

Not today! I did a front facing camera sweep and came up empty handed

Helaas

I lovely start to the New Year on a beautiful sunny day by the harbour

Great peace of history.

Today we braved the very windy conditions and caught a 280 bus and T1 train to North Sydney & Kirribilli for a Traditional cache and an Adventure Lab stage, then walked over the Sydney Harbour Bridge and collected another Adventure Lab stage at it's central point, then down into the Rocks, around past Circular Quay to the Opera House, and up through the Botanic Gardens, collecting various Adventure Lab stages along the way. Finished our cachey day with a MultiCache in the Sydney CBD, before catching a T1 train from Wynyard back to Chatswood and a 280 bus back to home. This was the 1st of 8 finds for the day.

Hopped off our T1 train at Milsons Point Railway Station and then headed off down through the back streets of Kirribilli to GZ, where the blue truck was quickly spotted, but the actual cache container took us much longer than it should have to locate. We had the incorrect pre-conceived idea of what it would be, which had us checking in all the wrong places, until we eventually expanded our thoughts and made the find. TNLNSL, and then replaced as found.

Thanks AussiePam for showing us the nice blue truck, and TFTC.

Find #3832

A new cache in a place where I thought we’d got the all! How cool. Haha now I get the hint too. Very cute thank you

What a cool spot. Spotted a brush turkey nearby. TFTC!

Find 13 of 21 on a walk from the CBD to Kirribilli. Straight off the red-eye flight from Perth, dropped bag off at the hotel and out we went.

Continuing to circle the main man's abode without ever seeing it, we started getting closer here. A bit of a scrabble and the cache was in hand.

TFTC AussiePam!

Found after seeing Dua Lipa the night before at Qudos Bank Arena, best concert of my life. Went to go to the cafe by the ferry stop and on our walk from the car was this cache. Searched a bit before making the find, should’ve looked there first but I didn’t feel the description instruction was completely accurate. A very cool local artefact. TFTC!

Second find of the day, love the structure :-p TFTC!

De blauwe truck gevonden. Maar geen container

26 September 2022 at 9:49 am

School holidays!!!!!

The blue truck got viciously kicked... I bet that was fun... hilarious fun.. and the cache was ripped apart.

Replaced.. hope springs eternal etc!!!

Found with Its_Dozzie on a lovely spring afternoon.

Well that's an interesting object in the midlle of suburbia. A quick find at GZ. This was our last one for the day after clearing out this area. TFTC

Teaming up with Brewmaker for the Pull & Dive cache in Balmoral.  But of course on our way there we were distracted by some other caches we had already solved but not found.

TFTC!

Apologies for the late log, was up and out early caching before work at Artarmon and could only manage the two finds as my supervisor called amid an urgent job at Penrith, I had to drop and run.
Nicely hidden and thank you for showing me this

Classic aussiepam container. TFTC

A drive up the Northern Beaches with Oldmorty to collect some smileys from old and new offerings. Last one for the day en route home and this was a cute hide. Oldmorty quickly found and returned where everything was blue. TFTC!

Time to return to the northern beaches with morty8888 to seek out a few unfound caches and a couple of previous dnf's.
Loved the big blue truck.
Thanks for placing this cache AussiePam.

Great old toy. TFTC

Wlith a week of no car and train strikes so too crowded for me I was keen to get out today and make some finds.
It seemed the weather gods were not so keen for me to go out but after lunch there seemed to be a brightening of the sky so I headed out.

Now this is a novel way to save, use and improve one's favourite old toy. It's not obtrusive, in fact you hardly notice it until you are right on top of it. Even today in the rain the intersection was busy so as usual timing was important.
Spotted the cache, grabbed it, SL, replaced and back to my geomobile just as the next downpour started. All good.

Primulas are starting to bloom, but too wet for a photo.

I decided I could join a meeting "on the go" enroute to home from the city, so left work a bit early and headed up to Milson's Point. Once at GZ I made a quick find (TNLNSL); thanks for sharing this cute little neighbourhood feature.

3TF Out for a Sunday early morning cycle. Picked up this one on the way home. Another fantastic urban story in these lovely streets. Thanks for placing this cache AussiePam. #1521

Left the house before 6am this morning to drop the geodog off for a dental procedure at the vet in North Willoughby.

This means I have the whole day to pass, geocaching, until I can collect her. I hit the pavements.

This truck made me smile.

#9156 (1 of 3 today)

I am gradually catching up with my logging - am currently a "few" months behind. But that's still over 100 caches! At least my most recent finds are up to date - just need to fill in the gap!

To be honest, while I still find searching for caches fun, I'm finding logging less so. But I have to log to get me stats and souvenirs, so...

Only a few Adventure Labs and my First2Finds have been written up in a timely manner - don't want people racing out when it's already been snaffled.

Nevertheless, I have kept up with my 2022 goal of 16 finds per caching day. In fact, for the most part my modus operandi has been to actually aim for 20. So far I've only failed on that a few times, and only by 1 find. Amazingly I'm on track for 19 finds per day, I just have to put my mind to my future goals... 25 per day? Owwww.

Thanks to all the CO's who have made it possible to keep my goal in sight. Most of the finds have been Traditionals, but a few Puzzle series and the odd other cache type have been grabbed where possible.
Sorry the logs are very generic, but I'll never catch back up otherwise.
###END OF GENERIC ABJECT GROVELLING SECTION###
Headed out Kirribilli way for some finds today.
Managed to find three out of four - of course it's the multi that was nowhere to be seen. Sigh.
But some interesting hides.
###END OF CUT AND PASTE SECTION###
Well, this is unexpected.
Managed to park right next to GZ, but exactly where is it? Took a few minutes to check the obvious spots between a few muggle walk-bys.
But then got the prize.

Signed replaced and on my way.
Have a favourite for the unusual art installation here.

Nice cache. TFTC AussiePam

Friday afternoon, still working at my desk, feeling blue. Decided to get the truck out of there! Cruised over the coathanger for a joint {FTF} at Kirribilli at 5 pm with Kireevi. Thanks Pam for colouring my world again. TFTC AussiePam
