Logs
As there's been either no response from the cache owner, no cache to find or log to sign, or it's been a number of months since the last owner note. I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace/make available the cache sometime in the near future (next 30 days), just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the current guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it. Should you replace the cache after 30 days has passed please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.
Sorry. New container didn't work as planned. Hope to have it fixed and deployed this week.
A belated note and I see you have already disabled the cache temporarily. I also checked on Monday the 13th and couldn't spot the cache after finding it back in November. I figure it was one of those Blue Book people! Cheers.... Gaztek
I found this a couple of months ago and came back today to check that it was still there after corresponding with spindoctors who could not find it.
I reckon it has gone as it was not in its original positions and no-where to be seen.

Third time lucky I was hoping for this one, but not to be. I had spoken to a previous finder, but I saw no sign of it.
Easy find, despite the traffic and the rain. My first cache in Australia! I ended up choosing the Blue Log as I like to be different. Or the same. I dunno. It's all so confusing!
TFTC!

I skipped this last night after several minutes as I was too tired to look hard, but needing a cache I had not already found near Chinatown while staying in the city this week, this had to be retried to contue the calendar filling.
This time I started at the wrong end of the possible spots, and eventually found the sneaky little bug.
While sitting on the railing with cache in hand, an couple of obvious cachers arrived and started looking - they were a little unsure about me when I siad what they were looking for would not be there, until I showed them the cache and blue log that were in my hands.
Having signed myself, i gave tehm a nice easy find by simply ahnding the cache over (and showing where it belonged).
Another month completed, and only 23 more days to go to finish the caching calendar.
Thanks for the challenge - I am sure I found a similar themed (archived) cache on the other side of the railway in the past, in fact I first thought this was the same one & I had forgotten to log for a few years.

No luck with this one. Not too many hiding spots. After ten minutes I heard someone yell out 'What you doing?'. Hmm. Police car. Time to move on.
Second time lucky here. Signed the blue log. Haven't seen the movie so I'm not sure if I made the right decision

Verrryyy nice to have been there.

Stopped here to retrieve this sneaky cache before visiting CNY show in the near park. I am a realist so I signed the red logbook. Fanstastic camo, you deserve one favorite point from me. Thanks for bringing me here.

Couldn't find this one. Had a good solid look too. Ran into a couple of other groups too, not sure if they gave up also. There is something that looks like it used to have something there, sort of a bit still stuck there but couldn't find anything else... Maybe another time...
It's the type of container that makes it harder! Nice hide! It was 2 days ago now, but pretty sure we signed the red...TFTC!
Red everytime baby! I want to go to the rabbit hole!! plenty of muggles but just needed to sit & rest
Well hidden, great cache, loved the movie trivia... signed the red pill with Sassi85, show us how deep the rabbit hole goes :0)
An excellent Hide. Found with Fuzzball. and another Cacher. Signed the Blue logbook
First visit revealed nothing, but grabbed it second time around in a place I'd previously looked. Go figure.
Like others, I'd been expecting a mint tin for some reason or other. Thanks for the cache. Signed the red log.

Hi!!
Sorry to log this now..... Obviously the iPhone log didn't go through from the night I found it! Originally found on 13/01/12... quite some time ago. Luckily I have a photo of it on my phone, and I can supply that to the owner if they would like it!
Quite enjoyed actually realising this was the tunnel they used in the movie.

Enjoyed seeing this location, always fun to see where a movie scene was. Took a while for geosense to kick in. Cute cache. Went blue, as first I saw. Tftc, XN. SL.#703.
Well done. I like the dual log idea. I signed both on the back to see if I would explode....
It was in the spot I originally checked but didn't see it the 1st time. It is hard being discreet with traffic all around. But then you get to a point when you don't care who is watching and you reach down and grab it. Tftc.

Found with Geo-family.
Arrived at GZ at 5pm. Everyone must have either left work early or where still packing up to leave as the street was quiter than expected. Trying to look casual while hanging around GZ we quickly had the hide located and retrieved. After signing the RED log we took a trip further down the rabbit hole.

All good. Went for a stroll at lunch time and found this cache without too much trouble. Signed the blue log, just to be different.
After much deliberation we chose the blue log. But after signing we fell into a blissful state of ignorance and forgot why we were there. Or maybe it was just an illusion. Thanks rinsemesocks for a fun cache.
To be honest I was expecting a mint tin... I was pleasantly surprised to find a cleverly crafted container!

Nice cache found while caching in the city. Signed the red log. Co-ords about 5m out, but even so the cache was hidden in one of the only possible hiding spots in the area. TFTC.
Normally driving past here I never think to stop but with not much traffic and plenty of parking I found the cache. Nice hide. My log is somewhere in the middle out of sequence.
Blue pill for me coz I just don't want to know..

Found in the first place I looked, even though my GPS was wonky. I forgot which pill meant which, so I signed the first one i pulled out (blue).
First Aussie cache! Woohoo! Didn't have a pen so took a pic of the red!
Loved it! Tftc!

Found first visit with thebear422 after searching here for a little bit, missed it the first couple of times. Nice spot for matrix fans
DNF, but I found an empty resealable bag in one if the concrete blocks' side holes.
Not sure, but we searched the whole area. To me it looks like the cache is gone.

Great spot! I never would have recognized it as the tunnel from the movie but could absolutely see it once there. Maybe heavy rain is needed to visualize it. TFTC!
Hey Hey look who is back! Beatbreaker introduced me to caching 2 years ago, and then got a real job We found a few together in Melbourne last week now looks like he is back in action again haha
I found the old Matrix Series and was very sad when it went by the way. Glad to see one or two of them being revived. This is what I call an "Oslo Micro" found HEAPS of them over there in Norway this year. Work well in the city.
You know, I always wanted to know what happens when you took both pills... so I signed each log >:)
Cheers!

Rated: for Overall Experience
Got it, don't quite remember it from the movie but i guess that means ill have to watch it again sometime! Tnln tftc
A late evening find on my way home from a meeting in the big smoke. Had no pen on me so took photo of log.
Cheers

Arrived at the GZ and expected to find it quickly. The container had us going for a while. Nice hide for this spot. Blue for us thanks. TFTC
Hmmm. How to be unobtrusive in work clothes at lunchtime at this GZ. Mrs G on her own here as she was working nearby. I'll just check one area before Mr G can join me on another visit. Hey, there it is! Very tempting to slip into oblivion after a tough few days at work but decided to go for the red pill and keep my wits about me! SL TFTC Cheers... Gaztek
Hmmm, a little different container than I had been looking for made it a little harder. And thanks for the suggestion flytoSYD to go to the pedestrian island for the reading. Coordinates were right on! I tried one of the samosas across the street at the Jaipur Indian restaurant, very good. Maybe a little spicey, but I liked it that way.
Twenty minutes of standing in the rain, juggling two bags, a GPSr and an umbrella, finally paid off. Surprising cache type - I wouldn't have expected it to survive, but it has.
I signed the blue log.

Nice to see another set of Matrix themed caches has emerged around the place. GPS did put us in the right place but it took a lot longer than it should have to find the cache. Finally put my hand on it in a place I thought I'd checked more than once. Logical spot really... TFTC, Biggles.
Had a bit of trouble getting my GPS to settle. There is a pedestrian island in this busy intersection. Try standing there to get a good reading. I did and the coordinates were perfect. SL TFTC.
Not sure what I was doing wrong but I could not find it. I hate it when I go Geocaching by myself. They are usually easier to find when there is more than one pair of eyes...
Found the cache while visiting Sydney on a work trip. The first cache for the night and a nicely placed one too! The sat lock was all over the place but fortunately the cache was soon ours. TFTC.
A nice and easy find in a busy part of town. Didn't have a pen unfortunately, but TFTC!
Love that the cache is hidden right in the middle of it all. Definitely trust your fingers
As is often the case when you are searching with others, the person with the GPSr is usually the last to find it...especially now I have a Garmin Dakota 20, and I get the 'check the description, check the hint, check the logs, (OK wait a bit...)never mind here it is!' grrrr, and such was the case here today..
Thanks for the cache hide.

#339 Found it on my 2nd try. Last time I was here, I did more of a "search and look" strategy. It was also a bit hard trying to do it in the rain, holding up your umbrella while trying to duck down looking for it. Today, I used the "feel" strategy... but only after finding a small piece of it sticking out... when will I ever learn? I really should just try the "manual" approach sometimes rather than the visual. Chose to log in Blue. Thanks for taking me here. TFTC!

Found quickly on a hot Sunday afternoon. Picked the blue log as it went with my pink pen. TFTC
Found it with Nero-S and CADS11.
Choose blue one, but I don't know the difference!

Using a dodgy GPS (salocin567's) this cache took us a lot more than it should've. A nice hide rms, different compared to all your other ones! I chose red- simply because that's my favourite colour!!! I think all the other recent finders have chosen red- not so many blue. Anyway, the camo was pretty good!

YAY! Found it with slaytonator with my extremely accurate gps which was pretty much spot on! Chose blue, great hide! TFTC TNLN
Nice quick find, co ords were pretty much spot on... Loved the cache container.. Thanks
Lunchtime walk - deep in conversation on my phone. Approaching gz I notice fellow cacher signing log. Not wanting to fiinish my chat and introduce myself I keep walking and observe cacher replace cache. Sign red log but unsure if reality will always be this fortuitous. TFTC rinsemesocks
I m on the blue team! me and another cacher almost missed it when i spot it at night! love it. TFTC
Nice to see a replacement for the previous Matrix themed cache here.
I took the red pill:)

Easy find, although it took me a little longer than it should have done.
Last year I found the archived version of this cache, so it's nice to see another one placed in this location.

Took me two visits, was scratching my head hard (literally) when my detector located the missing bug.
Heaps of Agents passing by (quite a lot for a Sunday morning), had to wait for a while before replacing the bug.
As soon as I swallowed the blue pills, the story ended.
Wait... am I still believing what I want to believe?

Saw this one pop up the day before but saw the FTF go quite quickly thereafter. In the area this morning and ended up with a find after a short search. To make an adventure out of it, we took the red pill. TFTC
