No response from owner. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the future, just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the current guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.

No response since reviewer disabled in December.

All the way from Adelaide and couldn't find it

The cache appears to be in need of owner intervention. I'm temporarily disabling it, to give the owner an opportunity to check on the cache, and take whatever action is necessary. Please respond to this situation in a timely manner (i.e., within 30 days) to prevent the cache from being archived for non-responsiveness.

tried but couldn't find it

Multiple DNFs.

Needs Maintenace ignored.

emails for assistance ignored.

Previous finder confirms cache is gone.

Time for this to go or else maintaining this great series of caches is made a priority.

Team Canary asked me to please go have a look at this one today. I found it previously and can confirm it is indeed missing, or at least nowhere near where it is meant to be unless Bainsworld changed the hide since I got it. The Cache Owner has been AWOL for a little while. Hopefully he comes back soon to revive some of his great urban hides!

Was out for a job interview today only a couple of doors down from GZ itself - wandered up to have a look and see where it could be.. too many Agents lurking around in the area so I made it look like I was lost and trying to find my way around a bit .. anyway came up empty handed and had to abort the mission ..

Lots of skateboarders in the area but I still managed to have a decent look without a find.

Once again we were frustrated by barricades, this time by the NSWFB.

Just adding to the collection of DNFs.

Searched for a little bit but gave up after reading the last few logs.

Found the right spot but couldn't find it. Had the geokids with so could afford to have a real good look without muggle agents being none the wiser. I noticed that previous 2 cachers were unable to find - maybe it has gone MIA??

Scoured the entire GZ with a friend, but there was absolutely no sign of the thing. We suspect that it may be MIA.

We looked for this one yesterday and checked all sorts of places that lined up with the hint. A thorough search again today armed with a specific PAF hint and still no sign of the cache. Pride says that muggle agents have intercepted it and it's MIA.

Found on a late night in the city. Was looking at the nearby Vivid Light show... worth a look.
Log VERY VERY VERY VERY full.

We were visiting Sydney for the weekend and tried in vain to make head and tail of where this cache might be - maybe we'll have better luck next time. TFTH brainsworld

Found it in the rain. The little fellow had gone quite away from the indicated coordinates.
Log is 120% full.

Greetings from Belgium!

Found with CrystalFairy on our trip to Sydney (June 2010).. TFTC.

Found this on the evening we flew into Sydney... Tried two "Matrix" caches prior to this with no luck and nearly gave up on this one, but Buttels stumbled across it... Thanks for showing us this lovely spot..

In the city today so knowing what these canyons are like used Google Earth and Maps and sure enough the co-ordinates were spot on. Spotted quickly and found a tiny spot left on the log to sign. First of 3 nanos in 15 minutes.

I did this one on my way to the ferry in the rain, i did not put anything in the log book because with all the rain I would have waterlogged it.
TFTC, I love this series

Still no luck with this one, I have looked so many times from all differant angles. But no luck. Will have to get this one oneday.

Well I printed out the cache noted this time and took that with me as the GPSr was going crazy. Took way toooo long but in the end got there.

Finally found, thanks to heads up from aabfab. How could i have missed it. good lesson to widen ones field of search I Think.

Found it thanks to the helpful clue - a popular cache, log is very, very full. TFTC

Found it! My second cache - thanks to a fellow cacher for offering some cover during my find as it was lunch time and there were plenty of muggles around. Thanks to my friend I got it with the muggles none the wiser! Note though that the log is full and needs replacing. Thanks - great spot!

My 2nd attempt at this one. Much better prepared today and after examing relevant features from a few different angles the cache was spotted, grabbed, signed and returned. TFTC, Biggles.

See girlfriends bring luck! She found it in 2 seconds flat!!! So obvious when thinking about it! Think outside the box !

Been back here a couple times cos I work in the city.... This one really has me lost !! Help !!

What a unique spot! Very much muggle city!!! Wouldn't have got it without quarterpipe's clue! TFTC! More in the city please! The muggle dodging is an art in itself!

Searched and searched but to no avail!

Tiny. Had to go and find another cache down the road and then come back to find this one. TFTC

We’ve found the cache after a second site visit, thanks a lot for hiding.
Hobel’s from switzerland

Easy find with dirty fingers. Lots of muggles but no worries. Log is full sorry had no replacement. TFTC

Unfortunately we were unable to find the cache.
Hobel’s from switzerland

Needs new log book.

Found this pretty quickly, didn't know about the matrix scene though. TFTC

TFTC.

Lots of muggle activity but got the cache back in place! TFTC

Met a fellow cacher here as we outwaited a guy who was relaxing while recharging his phone from a publicly funded power point. TFTC

Here I was trying to find a cache, and there was another person nosing around the same area - then I spotted he had GPS-in-hand and I knew just what he was up to.
Good to meet you both Nighteez -
thanks for the "extra set of eyes" that sped up the find so I could rush back to "work".
TFTC
Log Full

Found it with the help of quarterpipe and some fellow cachers.
TFTC

Well Mu33a and i didnt really "find" it. Australia Bound did and once we saw a gps and a map we knew we had found fellow cachers - our first

This thing is tiny. This is the first nano i have seen and Australia Bound said it was one of if not the smallest they had seen.

Follow the hint!

LOG urgently needs replacing - as does the M2 cache nearby.

The GPS was all over the place. Did managed to locate once we ignored the GPS and tried to work off the clue. This is our second find of the Matrix series. Met 2 fellow cachers at this one. Great cache. TFTC

Well I looked. Didn't have my GPS but no joy. I see 2 others found it today !!! I work 1 street away so will look again tomorrow. Argghhhhhh !!!!

Second time we came looking success this time tftc

Tried to get this on my last trip to Sydney. Found it this time.

Found it with out any problems while on my way back to my hotel. had to resort to the hint as my GPS said I was 73 metres away. Needs a new log sheet TFTC

Finally found it. Actually I detoured with the reluctant spouse on a drunken wander and she found it. No more space in the log. Thanks.

Rated: for Overall Experience

Quick find while caching in the city for a while. Needs new log. TFTC

found original location, couldnt find the new one we looked in every possible place was very stealthy muggles everywhere

Found it in the place where I looked last night! SL, thanks!

Hint was right on. Crowds all walking by on a weekday morning. Didn't notice me at all....TFTC!

Fantastic spot for a cache --- but no sign of the woman in the red dress, although all sorts of business types in suits and natty outfits about. Second go at this cache. Tried last night, but it was too dark and I was looking in the wrong place. This time daylight, and used geosense. Quick find. Glad to find this cache, especially as it at the site of a "Matrix" scene. Awesome. SL, TFTC.

black shorts ... would have been a good match but she wasn't there. instead heaps of skaters...

TFTC

just blended into the zillion muggles .took another bullet.sl.tftc.

Another fun one. It nearly had us but big geoson found it. Had to play hard stealthing as man sitting in car right in front of us kept looking our way.. SL TFTF

Happy to find this one as I have walked past this location twice every day on my commute to work.

TFTC

This was the last cache we did as we returned home from a day of CBD caching. TFTC

Too many people to properly look for the cache, will come back in a few days - great hide though! Tfnc morts - mosman

No red dress but a good spot TFTC

Lekker Down Under met Benhil ... zalig genieten

Ben spotted it, very hard to get the GPS readings between the tall buildings.

Took my GPS with me all the way from England and set about finding it as we were only staying less than a half mile away (Meriton, Pitt Street). Unfortunately, due to some special day coming up (Anzac day, whatever that stands for ?) they had decided to erect a big stage right around the cache location. May have to come back again one day in the next 10 years.

There was a bit stage being set up at the GZ. Not sure how long it will be there but the suspected GZ not accessible atm... Will be back. TFTS. SAC. Envs Crew

found this one tonight great little cache almost missed it filled out log book and put it back

After one DNF on this one it was once again good to have some closure on another city cache. Its not till you find them that realise how obvious they are and you wonder why you didnt see it earlier.
I love caching in the city, the frustration is addictive. Thanks

This one had us searching high and low. Eventually it was a rather nonchalant find and we breathed a sigh of relief. TFTC.

3236.

Three sets of eyes had to turn it up eventually! We looked for quite a while but there is only so many places a cache can be hidden!

Thanks bainsworld for the cache.

TNLNSL

I have been meaning to get to the Matrix series for a while. Great concept. A usually useless GPSr in the city meant refering to the clue and the cache was in hand not too long after. I agree it is rather exposed! But I dont think muggles would readily spot it as an item of interest Let's go look for Number 2....

Rated: for Overall Experience

Pretty sure I'm an idiot because it took me so long to realise that was the actual fountain they filmed at.
Then I got very excited.
So many more muggles around than I'm used to, as this was my first Sydney cache!
Nice hide!

Picked my moment to swap the log out at the end of lunch time. All ready to be filled again - this one has proven a popular stop. Looking for the Woman in the Red Dress, perhaps???

I love this cache!! Millions of people have to walk past this position every year and have no idea that this cache is here!!!!

The log is full and needs to be replaced. TFTC.

Excellent cache....what a location...so many muggles but totally unaware....TFTC

Found this nano cache this afternoon - lots of muggles about so I had to take it with me and will return it this afternoon. Definitely needs a new log though. TFTC!

We met the owner and he was amused to see us trying to find the cache.
We were very surprised that this cache doesn't gets muggled because he is not hidden at all and placed on a very frequent spot.

Thanks for supporting us !

TFTC!

Quick find on a very quiet day. TFTC

Skater boys thought we were there for them but found this one without too much trouble.

Introduced the "Craig" to geocaching. Still he thought we were all very strange. Who cares!!

Wow! With iTreasureHunt2 and Geomum we did a stroll down
Martin Place on our first morning in Sydney. Being a Sunday, and with no real plan in mind, it seemed apropriate to turn on the GPS (to see where we are)... Gosh, we are standing near a cache!!....Oh well, we may as well have a quick look....yep we found it. Thanks for the hide. It is our first cache in NSW. Note to owner...The log is full we had to write blow another entry which is nearly impossible on such a small log.

Third time lucky, I didn't expect to find such small micro. Signed log, but it was very hard to extract. Nearly full too! TFTC

Pretty easy find. Didn't have time to sign the log (unravelling and re-ravelling the paper takes ages). TFTC!

Found with a friend...(with a tip from another friend). The first cache I have actually found by myself. Didn't have a pen.

found this with a little help from the homless man selling the big issue. he new what i was looking for

I didn't find the woman in the red dress, but this nano cache was quickly spotted. However, even after a lengthy search for the other Matrix caches... this remained the only find of the series.

Had the area pretty much to ourselves. Visiting from Phoenix, AZ, USA

Wow! With iTreasureHunt and Geomum we found it but it was very smelly nearby. We saw some kids on TV earlier and now saw the same ones in the street. They were on the Weekend Sunrise. It is our first cache in NSW. Thanks for the hide.

Very nice Cache. Thank you!
But didn't see the Woman in the Red Dress
Greetings from Germany.

Well, after a dismal day last Thursday, I was back in the city today, and desperate to make amends! I had studied the logs carefully sinse last week's fails, and came better prepared for searching. Shifting my theory as to where GZ was, I started making a search of the area. It will get very busy over the next 24 hours, with the TAB setting up their annual Melbourne Cup marquee adjacent, and power cables running very close to the cache. Almost missed this one: a true, colour-coded nano, that only caught my eye at the second glance. GZ wasn't overly busy at 11.30am, but I had to be discreet as a resident down-on-his-luck fellow had stationed himself nearby.

Signed log - Thanks for a cool cache, Bainsworld!

I thought I knew where to look for this one, but after a thorough look just on dusk today, I had to give up. I confirmed the location with a previous finder who said I was in the right location.... Oh well.

A very busy spot this morning, however there were no muggle agents interested in what I was doing!

Cache found right where it should be and quickly logged. Neat hide, two Matrix caches done - off to find a few more. TFTC

Visiting from the US and got this on today, lots of muggles around. Was able to get this while unoticed. TFTC!

169 - Some inconveniently placed muggles caused a bit of trouble initially so 'BGowza' and I returned after chasing another cache.... We barked up the wrong tree for a while then had it! TFTC

'Gowza' and I found this one after a bit of searching while there were lulls in the pedestrian traffic through the area TFTC

Nice quick and easy cache clever placement tftc

City very quiet on the public holiday, so a quick find was possible. Thanks.

GZ was inaccessible during the day, but when I returned at night the area had opened up and security had gone, so it was a quick find. Sadly there was no woman wearing red to be seen.

Found this one without any trouble. Removed the cache to a safe location, and tried to remove the log for about 5 minutes. Eventually got it out with the tip of my pen, signed and replaced it without incident. Onwards to "Get to the Point". City cachers may notice that I'm attacking all the caches radiating outward from my place of work. . . .

After a meeting in the city I found this one with Gaztek.
It even comes with it's own writing shelf.
I was glad to finally complete this one.
