Major construction work still ongoing. Will let you know when work is completed.

This cache is off line due to construction going on around cache site. This cache will be replaced once that work is completed and area is safe to enter.

Major work being done around cache site, off line till work is completed.

Well I looked but came up empty handed !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Stuck in Sydney for a conference for the last 3 1/2 days, and this was the first day that we had a chance to go caching, the withdrawals! Once in the right spot, reasonably quick find under the scrutiny of the camera right above our heads. TNLNSL. TFTC.

Found after a big day on the ferries around the harbour.
We had come back to the apartment and had dinner but I couldn't resist going out for another walk around the city.
Ended up only finding this one as I got carried away exploring and forgot about caching.
This was great fun to do.

Charlie and I are here from Oregon, USA visiting friends in Brisbane and Townsville and traveling the east coast for 6 weeks. We spent the day in Sydney, and really enjoyed the inexpensive parking offered here! Great fun finding this cache, seeing the fountains. TFTFun

A quick find on a Friday night. I expected more Muggles to be about, but luckily the area was quiet. TFTC.

This was fun, located the GZ, but some backing muggles wrere located there. a short wait and they left, The cache was at hand, Signded the log, the pencil is brocken. and I had no sharpener. Next cacher should be aware

Nice one. Following the hints you can almost identify the hiding spot from the fountain.

Found this one with pwags and serial, when serial and i went on a road trip up therem and metpwags there while he was on a business trip.
Great day for caching, great fun.
thanks for the good day of caching!!!

A short stroll out to Star City during the conference lunchbreak at the Convention Centre, followed by a quick find, thanks to the detailed additional hints, and this one was ours. Many thanks Philma for the walk, and the well-constructed and maintained micro!

Found this cache after coming out of the Lyric theater where Chicago was being performed (great musical if anyone is interested! Well worth it). As Hoojar and I were waiting for the tram late at night we manage to perform some stealth moves and bag this cache.
Cheers.

The description is really good. We tried to be as stealthy as we could... not that easy with all the muggles and cameras around!

Thank you for the cache, greetings from Germany,

Found on one of our last days in the city. TFTC.

4th cache for the day another one waiting for the right moment to nab the cache & return

The second find for the afternoon. Spent a few minutes working out whether it was upstairs or down stairs but spotted a likely hiding spot and there it was. TFTC.

Found it easily with the clue but having said that the Black Dome on the roof felt like a Demon Dragons eye watching me the whole time.
Thanks For the cache Philma.

A quick find while attending webDU conference upstairs. Perfect use of lunch break!

Good urban cache: Always in sight, never to see. I like that.

Took me a bit to find this one, but i can across it, thanks for the hint.

Straightforward find with the hint, and didn't raise any suspicion. I like this kind of cache - so simple, still in view if you're looking for it but so well preserved because no one is!

Quick find. Now we must check out the iside. SL

Found while waiting for a muggle family to clear from the GZ of 'Pier-Mont'. Had to use the clue for this one as I didn't want to attract too much attention looking for the cache and i was unsure as to which level to look. Found very quickly once the clue was decoded, it kinda gives it away.

Too easy with hint, too hard without it

BOND JAMES BOND

Found this OK but not without looking at the Clue. The hint made it pretty clear. TFTC-SL

This had been on my closest list since it was placed and I always figured early Sunday would be the best time. Unfortunately that is also a goot time to stay in bed. With the extra hour today at the end of dst I made the effort and secured an easy find in a deserted area.

After going up to the Casino and realising we were in the wrong place we returned to the street and walked a bit further on and found the correct entrance the cache was then found easily. SL.
TFTC, Merann.

Found 15:25. Used the clue and found quickly. Great spot. TNLN. Thanks.

Found on lunch break from conference at Darling Harbour. TFTC.

What an adventure! Following the hint, Mr Ozjeeper went inside, went into the casino, went outside, went inside again, went up to the private room floor (interesting El Toro sculpture), went outside again, went inside again, found a seat and had a rest to regain some energy, found a cache and finally got around to sign the brand-new logbook.

a walk by as i rounded up some local caches while in town for a conference tftc

Log replaced.

Easy Find. Cameras and people everywhere.
Log book is full!
TFTC

Cool spot for a cache. Easy find just as the tram pulled up.

Thank you for bringing me to this part of Sydney. Never knew a casino of this size existed here. I am from Seattle, WA, USA and wanted to pick up a couple of caches on my way out of town. What a beautiful area! T4T I love AU

3.40pm
Found with ease whilst Raainjoy played tourist in her home town and took photos of the fountain.. Had to be extra cautious as it seemed to be bus-driver change-over time as well!

Found 3.40pm with Ywurry

Ywurry was good with this one. grabbed ever so carefully at a busy period. I was taking the photos.

Well, after much searching in way the wrong places, I decided to check the hint! (It was raining, and I was due in the office in half an hour!). OK, that helps, had the cache quickly! Thanks again Philma!

Found with TreMichlan during a visit to Sydney and NSW. TFTC

We thought it as strangely incongrous with the rest of the developments but enjoyed the walk around Darling harbour. Pics to follow.

Reminded me of a Simpsons episode without the Lardboy donut anchor TNLN TFTC

We came and sat and waited and watched and soon the object of our searching was in hand. This is an amazing building but it didn't intice us in to remove any of our hard earned cash.

A quick easy find. Nice stop on a hot day. The fountains are very pretty.

Didn't set out to do this cache today, but when we hit a muggle snag at "Harbourside" we fired up the caching app on our iPhones and found this one close by. Rather than wait in the hot sun, we decided we would keep moving and head over to try this one. Located it quickly thanks to the good description.

Again, this was a hard one to remain inconspicuous. I wonder if anyone noticed me pretending to tie my shoe - even though my shoe doesnt have laces........

TFTC!!

No Problems Found Without Muggels *IoI*!

Nice easy find while passing through the area!

TFTC!

My first cache in Australia
Thanks a lot. OK2ZAW (Palach_ZR_team)

What a unique spot for a cache. Loved the fountains. An old man had settled down for the day to read a book on the seat,
so we politely had to ask him if he minded us searching behind him. He was none the wiser! Thanks Philma.

It didn't take us (dogboy_56, greenblob, DSLME) long to find it. It was fairly straight forward.

Being the only female in our party, all I wanted to do was look and play in the pretty fountains.
As said by Dogboy we went round the world for six pence. I just got to see more fountains =]

went up the stairs from the fountain, then down to the escalator across the tracks.and spotted fomr halfway across the tracks. Is it int he wrong spot, or is it supposed to be in plain view...anyway tftc

Good spot in the limelight but out of the way

The man with his cigarette is still sitting there But in a unwatched mment I could grab the cache and log.

Thanks

Our first find as the Ferrets. Came to Sydney just to spend a week amongst other things Geo Caching. What an incredible way to get to know the City.

#597... Easy find no problems with this one because we get there so early about 6am with no muggles. Found with skyejam. Thanks for organised the hunt.

6.00..... Found it with sevabo. A few muggles were waiting at the metro station for home for the day after has been at Casino??? TFTH SL

Loved this place. On a hot day the water features were really refreshing. Interesting hiding spot. TFTC.

Had to wait for a muggle sitting on bench. left wheels turning coin

Came to the place - unfortunately someone sitting on the bench having a cigarette. Some inventive cachng and logged the find

On holiday from the states and out for a little caching. Thank you for the fun. can't wait to get back.

Last day of my holidays; visiting from Canada. Have been by this exact spot the last three mornings in a row and here I am today looking for a cache - with a little help and encouragement from some cachers I met by accident. - Thanks Fitznin's! Easy find with your hints!!!

With using the hint, an easy to find cache.

Held im Einsatz

Second find on our NRL Grand final weekend - and NO we still don't want to talk about it!!!
Geochick had never been to Star City before and to be quite honest, apart from finding the cache she didn't go this time either!
TFTH

Tftc,
Easy find, no problems with this one.

Found with Stace8383

Found with Aidan/Eknitobi, a very neat hide, thanks

WanderingAus wandered by on a wet and cold day 120 of a 6 month trip Wandering Australia and made an easy find.

My find No 910, TNLNSL.

I'm start to enjoy Philma's caches.

Quick find. TFTH.

What a magnificent array of beautiful fountains. Interesting site for a cache.

Found by Wookus with Juan, The Bug and The Mup.

Defenitely needed the clue for this one. With it, an easy find, despite the cameras! Put aside my vow to not step into a casino grounds for this one

TFTC

Not to hard. Found it quickly. Our 50th cache in Australia!

Grabbed it after buying yummy goodies at the growers markets on an early Saturday morning. Lots of people enjoying the sunshine outside, not many inside. TFTC.

Log replaced.

needed the hint, then quick and easy. the log is in immaculate condition! tftc

Quick and easy.

Thanks philma for this one.

Found GZ very quickly. When I got there and sat down, two security guards were patrolling the platform. I "accidentally" dropped my pen, and grabbed the cache.
Replacing wasn't that easy - the remaining security guy was too close for me to just return the cache, and I couldn't find the right spot to attach it. So I made a fake phone call, and started talking to myself for 5 minutes or so. He lost interest, and walked off eventually. Returned cache very quickly then.
I think I deserve an academy award for this performance (before they lock me up for talking to myself...).
Greetings from Queensland. TFTC

Found by Pi,

Dropped Gamma and Sigma off to see a show upstairs then headed down to find the cache. Easy find after a short wait. Good spot for a hide, not many people about in this part of the complex.

TFTC,
GPS.

Found during a nice walk around the area. Used the clue to avoid suspicion from the few muggles that were still around. Thanks for the cache.

found quikly at lunch-time. there was minimal muggle activity so signing and replacing wasn't an issue.

We didn't quite follow the instructions on the first try, so we ended up wandering around Starcity, which was worth seeing anyway. After finding the right exit, we tried again and succeeded.

Thanks for showing, we loved all the fountains!

from Germany

Spotted straight away with the help of the clues - steathily signed (so much so that my fellow wise goldfish didn't even realise I'd already done it!). TFTC

Decided to do this one after having a cocktail at Star City.
No GPS - just went by the clues. Quickly signed as we were on our way to see Michael Buble.

Found while in the city with Code1. Enjoyed walking through the jets out front with out getting wet.
