I have to archive this hide because they always gone or missing many times so I decided that there will be no more cache here. Sorry!
Oh not again so I put it on disable because it has been damaged. I will get it replaced new one soon.
Located at 4:59pm. Easy find. Cache capsule had fallen off and was on the ground when I reached GZ. Log was soaked and mouldy. I hiked back to the automobile and fetched a fresh replacement log to sign and attach. Haven’t come down to this park in quite a few years. Cycled here all throughout high school. Спасибо! תודה! TFTC!
Sorry for too long to put disable and accepted that some geocachers who found it before so I will fix it soon.
Out for a fun and long day on the ferries, trains and buses to collect some old and some interesting caches. Ended up also walking a little over eight miles as well.
Fifth of the day ... alas, I only read the recent logs after hunting for about fie minutes. Finally spotted the bison top as well but didn't bring any replacements with me today so put a GV on the container - black on black - and then continued on with my adventures. Great location. TFTC

What the last two cachers said.
I tossed up whether to count this as a find or a dnf... and finally decided just to log a note.

Today we headed over to Meadowbank to do a variety of caches, a Multi, an EarthCache, a couple of Wherigos, and a few Traditionals. This was our 2nd of 8 finds for the day.
After finding "Water Fountain" we drove down to Meadowbank Wharf and parked the geomobile in the parking area under the railway bridge. From there it was a very short walk over to this one. Unfortunately there is nothing left of this cache other than the black bison tube cap attached to the fence. Took a photo of the cap as proof of the find. TFTC skyejam.
Find #1642

Find #1642
Found the top bit of the tube still attached to the fence, but bottom bit of bisin and log are missing
As I arrived at the spot, a couple of people were doing their bit for clean up Australia. I let them know that I was impressed with their work and proceeded to fossick for what I had come for. TFTC
Seven mozzie bites in the short time it took to find this cache. I'd advise to bring repellant. TFTC.

This was a short stroll along the foreshore from the 'Meadowbank Park' cache.
A nice easy find. The log is full and wants replacing.
My next find will be my first milestone reached of 100 finds and I have just the cache in mind that I want to find for this.

This could of been hard without the hint! But the hint led us straight there, it was pretty busy down here too. The carpark was full and lots of people walking past. Good thing we had the cover of the bushes!
Thanks skyejam
Thanks skyejam
ice sunny day to cross the bridge from Rhodes. Though we had it then realised we might be at the wrong level. Easy find when we were in the right place. Tftc
Found with the help of Snickersallan, Bluewattle and Bluewattle Junior [:x]
Beautiful place to park near the water and an easy walk to nab the cache. Thanks skyejam for the good hide & TFTC
Confused about the location at first. Once you see it quite obvious. Not at knee level.
I set out to find this one a few days ago, but some cyclists were taking their time unpacking their bikes out of their cars in front of GZ, so I came back today and found it, this time without any interruptions.
I am house sitting close by and had better find those 'close to home' caches.
So, off for a walk I headed this arvo.
A short search before spotting this one. [^]

I spent a lot of time looking according to the hint - didn't realise that you are a giant skyejam. Found it about my waste height. Thanks
I took the opportunity to do some local caches while waiting for my daughter, who I'd driven down to Meadowbank from the Central Coast for an appointment she had, this afternoon. It's a trifle hard to get to this cache at the moment (access is largely blocked off by the construction camp for the ferry wharf upgrading project) but once there, I was able to make the find fairly quickly ... though I think the CO must have very high knees ...
Thanks for the hide skyejam and for the smiley.

Easy find once you get a little adventurous. A bit higher than knee height though.....TFTC
10 minute or more hunt around but no hanger found. Great secret spot. May have to MACO (Message a Cache Owner) before returning.
Wow, the geoson is 2m tall with stilts for legs ams this was way above his knees. TFTC
Once I pick my way through to GZ it was a pretty quick find. It was so hot before I left home I choose to wear short not a good idea for this cache. Pretty view behind GZ. TFTC.
Today in sunny weather we took a tour with the every along the parramatta river.
Our first stop was Meadowbank followed by Cackatoo island and Greenwich point.
All caches took us to beautiful special view points.
Thanks for sharing

Grabbed this one this morning on my way to work. I thought it wouldn't be possible due to the on-site office, but turns out it wasn't a problem. My phone was jumping around a bit, but after expanding the search a little, had cache in hand. TFTC!

Did not think we could get to the cache as there is a big site office in front of it, but it was not an issue. Quick find. TFTC
Stealth was seriously needed to find this cache. We got to GZ according to our GPS but cache was no where to be found. Searched further on and was reward with a find. SL. TFTC.
Found this one while out and about in the Sydney area with some geo-friends. A quick find, TFTC
Found on a great day out caching with some geo friends . Thanks for the cache skyejam tnln sl
Had this one marked as found using the app then changed phones.
Recently discovered that I never posted it. So here we are. Sorry about not having details on the find. TFTC!

Had some time before the ferry for Circular Quay would arrive. So this became my first Sydney cache. This was a great start into a weekend that would be even greater. TFTC.

We were out for another fun caching morning with Phantom Cyclist. This one wasn't quite where we had expected to find it, but was nearby. TFTC.
Claiming a DNF today out in Meadowbank with Team Merlin and geo kids. Looked for sometime at GZ but with no luck.We will need to return another day to find this cache. Watched a few ferries dock at the wharf. Nice little place to visit.
Visiting Meadowbank with JJCC and we just had to do a cache run whilst here. Working our way up to the mesh fence we spent a considerable amount of time searching but unfortunately we couldn't find this little blitter today, so will have to return on another visit.

#445 came to Meadowbank after work and this was one of the caches that I was after. When I got near there were a few people who had just got off the ferry so had to wait for them to move off so I could go in to make the find. Once I got to GZ it was an easy find. Signed the log and replaced and then had to wait for some more people to go past before I could come out. Thanks for the cache
KAREN! Brought me here since we're in the area, funny effect on the mind, been here so many times before and never knew there was a cache
The hint seems clear enough, but I remained cache-blind for this one until I had decided I had been hanging around the bushes for a touch too long. I'm not so good at trying to act casual in strange places when people are wandering past!
Nice location .. Decided to look for a cache while out on my lunch time run nice location.
Streak day #176 - since I will be a linesman for the first time on Sunday I needed to get the proper referee jersey and whistle. The nearest skate shop to me is skaters network in Rydalmere. So after work I trekked out to the shop and got my skates sharpened too. On the way back home it was time to get some caches. I'm trying to knock month hidden dates off my list. Although I already had this combo it was just around the corner from the old rusty multi which was a target. I wandered down this way trying to find the required info for the multi but turned out I was in completely the wrong place. Since there werent too many muggles around I strolled into the bushes to find this cache. I tried to go in stealthily. I think I managed it. Following the hint I made a quick find. It took longer trying to get the log book back in after signing it. I think a couple of young muggles thought I was odd when they noticed me coming back into the carpark since I was still in the dress I wore to work today, but I strolled off before they could do more than wonder. TFTC.
Checking the hint made this too easy, but I could imagine that it might have been a nightmare to find without it. It was quite hard to get the log back in the cache, it just took a little modification. TFTC!
One of the few caches in the area I was staying, therefore a must do. Easily found.
Thanks for the cache skyjam.

While out on a loop bike ride from Parramatta to Bicentennial park and return. This was a quick easy cache on our route.

Did this one back on the 1 November with dlturner before getting a ferry to the city. It's a bit of a prickly one.
2nd ever find. Now that we know what we are looking for hopefully next time will be easier. Put a spare strip of paper in as the log is full.
A quick find, the log is completely full though, I only just managed to squeeze in a mark!
