Plinth Woolwich, New South Wales, Australia
By Oplismenus on 11-Apr-04. Waypoint GCJ5E5

Took a second TFTC

We had a great walk around here today. Great spot for a virtual.

Not sure how to log a virtual cache from an owner whose account is disabled, but gehschei found the word today and can provide the answer whenever needed. Horn was very happy about that, thanks!

Found with Gazania Rigens at the revised location, as per her log.TFTC

Found together with Zouave, slightly away from the original coordinates. The top of the island is quite lovely, with some historic houses, gardens and impressive trees. TFTC!

#24902. We had to widen our search to find the plinth. Lots of interesting convict history here. Troodles sent answers on behalf of us both. TFTC.

StreetWalkerNZ and I arrived in Sydney last night, and the plan was to visit Cockatoo Island this trip. The forecast was for warm weather so we decided to head out after breakfast while it was still cool.We headed to GZ, to find a circle of pavers within a graveled courtyard, but no plinth. Retreated to a shady seat (the courtyard was in full blazing sun) and consulted photos in past logs. Saw what the plinth looked like, and looked around then spotted it not far away. Answer sent to CO on behalf of StreetWalkerNZ and myself. TFTC.

I am guessing as I am at gz that I have found the plinth. Potentially the original was moved as there is nothing else in the courtyard than the gravel and circle

We came to escape the crowds in the city and weren't disappointed - loved the tunnel and the old convict ruins. What a miserable life they must have had!

TFTV and what a lovely Plinth. Ive enjoyed walking around this island and learning its history.

Found today with Calypso62 & techsavvy9. Such a beautiful spot for a virtual cache. Answer sent to CO

Really interesting walk around the island and through the 2 tunnels. Sent the answer to the CO.

First virtual cache down

Bear & bee Virtual cache for our number 30! TFTC

After a rainy start to the day, the afternoon produced glorious sunshine which was perfect for our trip to Cockatoo Island. We caught the ferry from Barangaroo & were soon on the island.This was my next stop & I was keen to visit this one as my 180th Virtual cache, giving me my diamond gemstone on *Project-GC*. I had no difficulty finding the answer to the question & have already sent this to the CO. I've also attached a photo as further evidence of my visit & dipped my *Horses Around the World* geocoin which only visits caches older than 20 years.Found at 15:00Cache #10481TFTC Oplismenus

Loved the history of this location! Mountainbeyond sent the answer in on behalf of the team. TFTC Oplismenus!

We had a spectacular morning exploring Cockatoo Island. Answer here obtained and sent to CO. Thanks!

TFTC

found this back on the 2nd of march but upon checking my found caches on cockatoo island (we couldnt get one due to an event) i discovered i never actually logged this one despite sending the answers :/ whoopsTFTC!

This island is a very special place for me, mainly due to lots of spooky unexplained things which have changed me forever.TFTC!

10:00Cold & wet? Yes! but a ferry fun day out and about around Sydney with fellow Victorians - long time caching buddies Suscoe. The ghosts assured us we docked in the correct area today.A BIG thank you to %Name who placed this Virtual cache.37108

We visited Cockatoo island this morning, We got there early and had the place pretty much to ourselves.We met another group who were caching too.We enjoyed the wlak to PLinth and have sent the CO our answer.Thanks to Oplismenus for this virtual.An amazing place to explore.A favourite from us.

Visiting Sydney with my brother! Thanks for making my journey more interesting.

First visit to this island, great tour.

Cool

For some reason I was looking for a grand high note plinth with a statue on it or similar rather than what was found.Answer sent. TFTC

Found thanks, took a bit of a search

Tracked this down after my wander round the upper island.Answer sent, tftc

Took me ages to find the plinth! Turns out I had walked straight past it at the top of the hill . Had a great time exploring cockatoo island - all over. Above, around, and even through it! Learnt something new by visiting here. Thanks for placing this cache 20 years ago.

A great virtual. Add FPThe Cockburn Crew are on tour at the Capital Geobash in Canberra - travelling from Perth to Sydney, Canberra, Sydney and finally back to Perth.Today was day 8. We completed a huge number of trails, challenges, whereigos, traditional, multis, earthcaches, labs, virtuals and puzzles. It really was a great day for variety. We enjoyed caching in territory we havent been before. Weve filled our boots with some rare DTs and DTTs and generally had a great time. Thanks to the COs for a great day and event. Logs signed as part of team WA/WAC (WA Crew)

A very enjoyable visit to the island. Thank you for making me find out what the word means! TFTC!!

A nice location for this virtual. TFTC.

Interesting place. TFTC !

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. Took a side trip out to cockatoo to explore a bit. Thanks for the cache.

This was a neat area of history to explore. Took some searching for the plinth but found it. Its a beautiful day to explore Sydney! Thanks for the cache. Answer has been sent.

Bei unserer Gruppenreise nach Australien und Neuseeland konnten wir neben den vielen interessanten Eindrcken auf unseren Ausflgen auch viele Caches besuchen. Wir besuchten den Cache im Team DownUnder24.Danke an Oplismenus fr diesen Cache.

Visiting Sydney with a muggle friend to see Pink. Was decided to do some sight seeing and we both have never been to Cockatoo Island before. Arriving an hour before the tour had time to grab some caches. Relying on other logs and photos Plinth found and answer sent to CO.TFTC

Together with 37 Cachers, we start a journey to Australia and New Zealand via Doha.In Qatar we spent one night and had almost one full day before heading to Sydney.In Australia we visit the cities of Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide and Cairns. In New Zealand will be Aukland, Rotorua, Wellington, Blenheim, Christchurch, Dunedin and Queenstown.To safe Logbook space, we signed the logbooks with our team-name "DownUnder24".Our Teammembers are:\_gc_, AmoebeST, AndyausDu, B@cker-1, Biggidag, Brummelbren, CacheTaucher, cooljo, Fotopinguin, Freizeit-Tina, Gazelle5111, GEO Karen, GoanToni, Hfi1, hupsi-1, karrai*, Leilah03, lenny love, Lupus54, Maxipimpf, muschel3, Ollilein, Opaundenkel, penalty96, Rheins, Simowl, sozioma, Sr. Elli, Team Zyanor, viko76, Webmasterrollerin, Whlhase, XenSuoThank you for the Cache.

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 ????. Auf der An- und Abreise stand dabei jeweils ein Zwischenstopp in Doha an, der Hauptstadt von Qatar ????.Wir haben auf dieser Reise sehr viel erlebt und viele sehr unterschiedliche Eindrcke von den beiden Lndern, deren Natur und deren Kultur mitgenommen. 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!!

Departure day in New Zealand ??. This is my first visit to this extraordinary country 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. After a stopover in Qatar and 8 days in Australia, our journey continued from Auckland to Queenstown with various stopovers.**We also had a stopover in Sydney on the return flight, giving us eight hours. What do geocachers do when the opportunity arises? Go caching, of course ??. We grabbed an Uber to a pier and took the ferry to Cockatoo Island. Wow, fantastic ??. There was so much to see. Too bad we had so little time. I would have loved to stay here longer, but we were only able to get a few impressions, look for a few caches and take photos. I sent my answer to the owner via message center.**Thanks for laying & taking care . Abreisetag in Neuseeland ??. Fr mich ist es der erste Besuch dieses auergewhnlichen Landes 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. Nach einem Stop over in Katar und 8 Tagen in Australien ging unsere Reise weiter von Auckland nach Queenstown mit diversen Zwischenstopps.**Auch auf dem Rckflug hatten wir einen Zwischenstopp in Sydney und damit acht Stunden Zeit. Was machen Geocacher, wenn sich die Mglichkeit bietet? Natrlich cachen gehen ??. Wir schnappten uns ein Uber zu einem Pier und schippern mit der Fhre nach Cockatoo Island. Wow, fantastisch ??. Es gab so viel zu sehen. Schade, dass wir so wenig Zeit hatten. Hier wre ich gerne lnger geblieben, aber so konnten wir nur ein paar Eindrcke gewinnen, einige wenige Caches suchen und Fotos schieen. Meine Antwort habe ich per Message Center an den Owner verschickt.**Danke fr das Legen & Pflegen .

Between flights from the nearby airport, we used the time to visit this island. In hindsight, this was a very good idea, as there were many exciting things to discover here. An event was also due to take place today. Unfortunately without us. The journey home is getting closer."Plinth" was our main destination on this interesting island. We were able to find the necessary information quickly. The response was sent to the owners by Fotopinguin. Good D/T rating!Thanks Oplismenus

Between two flights on the way home a few caches were found. Thank you for showing me. Greetings from Germany, muschel3

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.Danke fr diesen Geocache.

Bei unserem Zwischenstopp in Sydney, haben wir unseren lngeren Aufenthalt genutzt,um diesen Virtuell und noch die Tradis zu besuchen. TFTC sagt keeiner

Tftc

All arrows pointed this direction, so I'm fairly certain we got this one!TFTC!

Found this old style Virtual. TFTC

Catching up on the last of our unlogged viruals and earth caches from our four day visit down to Sydney last week. Any answers, if required, have been sent via message. As others have mentioned the plinth has been moved a bit, but is still close enough to coords to locate without issue.Thanks for the virtual cache

**XX** MMMMMMMCM: Our final cruise stop in Sydney. We anchored out in the harbor until we could dock in Circular Quay this evening. Took a ferry to Cockatoo Island for a tour. As other have noted, the plinth has been moved from its original location, but not too far away. Located after a short search. Answer sent. TFTC

Found with Blue Jay while on our stay in Sydney before heading to New Zealand. Answer sent by Blue Jay for both of us. TFTC. Toffee Man.

Greetings from Ireland Great fun on the island Thanks for showing us this place, & for placing and maintaining this cache. The is our playground

Had a bit of trouble in finding the correct word, but managed it in the end. A great place to visit. TFTC

We found Plinth on an island wander day.Navigating to GZ was relatively easy, finding the answer, a little harderNevertheless we eventually found what we think we were looking for and hope our answer passes muster Thanks Oplismenus for hiding this cache so that we could come and enjoy ourselves

Answer to question has been sent, pretty sure the 'Plinth' has been shifted from the centre of the forecourt to one of the entry points outside, still locateable though.Onto the next part of our day, first time out and about on the much discussed Stdney ferries. A two-pronged approach here, we headed in and out to Manly first then headed off to Cockatoo Island to see what that had to offer. Nice to be out exploring in this wonderful weather.Todays geocaching exploits were only two-fold. First up was my early morning 4A out and about from 0600 until Ive found a couple and walked 5 or 6 kms. Then after mrs c and I head out for the day we headed to Manly first in the ferry, then a later trip out to Cockatoo Island for their treats. As ever, thanks to all CO s for their efforts.

Thanks for the cache Oplismenus. I circled the island for the trads and others, and despite this one suggesting the tour, I thoughtI would have a look anyway. I stood at the centre of the building walls on the ring of stones, and wondered what I was missing. Seeing that the cache had moved, I searched all the nearby rooms, buildings and vista viewing points and finally found a monument that could qualify as the plinth. It had just one word on it, so I am going with that. Thanks for the virtual, this island has some amazing history.

Spent about a half an hour, looking in all the wrong places, and then we widened our search perimeter away from the coordinates and found it. It has been moved. Sent the answers to the CO.

Isnt it great when you get to meet the original owners of a place. Walking along the base of the cliff, heard a noise above when loose rocks and sand fell behind me. Not a great throw to miss me when I heard, whos the pretty boy! Gee pretty game to throw out pick up lines. Then I saw the culprit and have included the mug shot for future finders of who to keep an eye out for when visiting Cockatoo Is! It was a pleasure to visit. Answer sent to the CO.

# #6,890 #----------I arrived at GZ to find no plinth. After looking around and reading past logs, I finally spotted what was needed to be found. No problems here, always nice to get another virtual. And a unique D/T rating for my virtual grid. TFTC!!! ----------> All geocaches are signed as mmmPIZZA or mPZ

Walked around for a little while and finally found it in the wall

Staying on the Island overnight and thought I would find a few caches while I was here. TFTC.

Today we decided to do a ticky geocaching tour on the ferries from circular quay. We jumped on the first ferry and our first stop was Cockatoo Island. This was a real gem of a place to visit. Nice to find an old virtual here. TFTC

wow, a virtual cache created in April 2004! so long ago!This is only the fourth time i've ever found a cache in this month and year.thanks so much Oplismenus for keeping this alive for us all to keep discovering.This is also only the fourth time i've ever come across this rare combination! i had a fun time exploring angry seagull (cockatoo) island. i did it in the daytime, but reading about the nightly ghost tours has me intrigued. odd that there's an expensive glamping option available on the island too. answers and photo sent.thanks Oplismenus!

I think this is it but not sure if my answer is correct. TFTC

Quiet day around the island not many muggles . Had to go looking for it but close to an old Frangipani tree tFtC

.The weather had finally cleared up, so we decided to head to Cockatoo Island. This island surprised us on multiple levels. It was interesting and amazing to explore. Thanks to maccamob, I was able to locate the Gz. Thanks for the cache.

Well the plinth seems to have been moved but we did find GZ. Really enjoying the history at this part of the island.

We searched the "quadrangle" several times, with gz showing at the centre, so figured something may be missing or covered over, as we found the circles of pavers. On the Island with lots of geocachers and some fiends walkked past, so we asked for some help. They told us a story that the thing has been moved, and showed us to where. New coords are S 33 50.894 E151 10.240. Best to leave this oldie going.

Found while doing the GCNSW Great Aussie Keytag Trek. A few other cachers which I was doing the Keytag Trek with, told me it was here. I have forgot to log this find for a bit. Can the Cache Owner please message me for the keyword. My first virtual.TFTC

We searched the "quadrangle" with gz in the centre - must have done that for 20 minutes with no luck. We got some help from some fellow cachers and was advised the item had been moved and they where it had been moved to. New coords are S 33 50.894 E151 10.240.

TFTC, with Rizzy and Fuzzy

We have had a wonderful morning exploring cockatoo island. So much incredible history here and an island that was used to really help build the city of Sydney in so many ways. Thanks Oplismenus for maintaining this old hide Domsky

T4TC , beautiful morning exploring the island. Wouldn't have been here without AL , virtual & traditional caches. Thanks to all CO. Greetings from Singapore .

TFTVC. Found with help from geocachers we met on the island

Expanded the search and soon found. Thanks for the cache!

Had to look a bit, finally found something nw. Such an interesting place!

Greetings from Ireland - this is a generic log for now until I return home / have WiFi - I want to log all finds now so I don't forget them.

FPs will be awarded at the time of this log (where applicable) so I don't forget them. Tftc!

Took a little searching as the coordinates are not on the exact spot. Thanks!

Took awhile but we found it

Love these old buildings

Answer sent. Had to radiate out to find it. TftC

I am in Sydney from Adelaide for a few days to attend to some family business. It's not really been a caching trip, but I have managed to find a few while I have been here.

This morning I thought I'd visit Cockatoo Island before heading to the airport and home again this afternoon. Unfortunately things didn't go quite to plan and I had to cut short my visit to meet someone in the city. However, I did get the opportunity to complete this Virtual cache while I was there.

I was slightly confused about what I was looking for here. However, previous logs and photos were helpful and I soon had what I needed.

Thanks Oplismenus for a Virtual cache in a really interesting location.

In Sydney for a few days, to see a of shows, and ironically now between a couple of surgeries.
Turns out I didnt know what a plinth is until now. Looking at the photos of previous loggers, I had walked past it, got distracted by a cell under GZ and ended up cutting a lap to get up the hill to it again. Tftc

I had the most amazing morning, wandering around Cockatoo Island for a couple of hours. Being a Monday, I practically had the whole island to myself. A couple of pics helped me find the object in question. It's located right by the solitary confinement cells. Sent my answer to the CO and filled a whole in my D/T grid. This was the main reason for my visit to the island. Tick!

On this trip we are basically looking for Adventure Labs, Earth caches and Virtual's, anything where there isn't muggles involved and also hoping to pick up a few LGA's we need around the Sydney area

With an Adventure Lab, Earth Cache, virtual and a few Traditionals this was a must visit for us today while we had great weather. We found GZ quite easily but could not find the required word. We expanded our search some more and Diane spotted something we think was what we were looking for.
We have sent our answer off to the CO and if we have it wrong we will happily delete this log.
Many thanks for a great Virtual in a fantastic location. A favourite point from us

Visiting from Colorado USA. Picture taken at the coordinates but I had to wander around quite a bit to find the plinth. I wonder why the coordinates are so far from the plinth? Thank you for creating this cache and helping to keep our recreation going.

Sent my answer off to the CO. TFTC

Wandered past it and around in circles till we found it.

Really enjoying my visit to Cockatoo Island. Did the virtual tour and learned about the history surrounding the convict precinct, was amazing to look through the old ruins of the buildings!

Eventually I managed to find the titular Plinth, answers sent through to CO.

Thanks for this virtual, great to log such an old one!

Greetings from Melbourne.
