#895 came here after work parked in the main road and walked around the corner for a quick find however it was very busy and took a while for a gap in traffic & walkers to be able to make the grab. Took near my car to sign the log. Took an equally long period to have a sufficient break in traffic to return as found. With that done to home I head. Thanks for the cache Travelling Sister

Found it on a reflective rainy day. Filled the Log carefully as rain was becoming heavy. Was about to put it back when a police car pulled up opposite to check on an abandoned car parked illegally in a bus zone. Waiting waiting waiting till cop goes away to put cache back. Rain. Rain. Rain.
This has been our first ever geocache. Finding it have opened a whole new world for my 6 years old son. "Treasure hunting is real dad !!! (:)) ". It was quite easy to find but still puzzling enough for a little treasure hunter. Many thanks to creator - we also liked the story about St Mary MacKillop.
TFTC after a long business day, I had a nice walk around my hotel and I have appreciated to learn about the story of this holly person

Thanks for the interesting information on your cache, we have a lot to learn, great cache holder, goes well with Mary TFTC
From the photos i can confirm i found part of the cache hiding, i assume the original spot. The canister was not attached or anywhere near by.
Given that my aunt belongs to the Sisters of St Joseph I had to look for this one, was delighted to be rewarded with a find. TFTC
Twas in the area to pick up an eBay purchase and found this on the way out. Wel, while I'm here, I might as well keep caching...
Very clever hide but found it easy. Original container still had its smell good if you have a cold
Not on the road side of the mulch so don't go messing it up as it is private property. Very clever hide though took us hours!
LOVED THIS ONE. A great cache idea. Easy to grab. Was muggled badly by a car speeding over the hill thought ideas in the clear. They stared at me as they past I just hope they did not return to check out what I was doing. Glad to get my first Mary Mac cache. Thanks for a great cache will be using your idea when I start to hidden caches. 5th for the day. #62.
Was in the area today and couldn't resist returning to this cache. I made the find within 5 seconds of reaching GZ. I like these nice and easy ones. TFTC Travelling Sister! 
Found while visiting family in this street. Couldn't resist a quick cache in between appointments.
Thanks for the cache and cheers from Browngang

Streak day #213 -after a nice sleep in then a busy afternoon at the shops it was time to head out to the Sydney Ice Arena for the first game of the Australian International Ice Hockey Cup. The cup is a series of 9 games with Canada playing the USA though both sides feature a number of young players from throughout Europe as well. My sister and I were volunteering for this game. We left home a little later then planned. So as she drove us out I had my eye out for a cache that would a quick find without having to detour too much. This one caught my eye. I directed my sister so we were able to pull up opposite the cache. I walked across the street and once at GZ I was quickly able to set eyes on the cache, but trying wait for a gap in passing muggles was another matter. There were a lot of cars going past. I spotted a gap and went in for the grab. I then moved a little away from the cache so I could sign the log. Once signed and sealed I then had to time it again to get the cache back as I found it without looking too suspicious. I managed it before long then we were on our way around the corner in perfect time for our shift. It was a great that was won in a penalty shootout by Canada. Looking forward to the rest of the matches. TFTC.
For quiete some time now we're looking for an apartment / a property in Sydney (and it's surrounding), I found this cache after a viewing, thanks for it

Came here before work at 5am. Even at this time in the morning, this was an easy find. TFTC .
My first Internatinal, yay! Relatively easy find, GPS was spot on. Looks like a lid may be missing, log intact but potential to get wet next time it rains.
Up in Sydney for work. Found after dinner difficulty factor increased at night. Had to use phone light. Tyftc
This probably the first of this series I have found so far that I noticed the relevance of the topic to the location.
Thanks for the cache.

Decided to head up to Norwest to grab a few caches as I haven't been up there lately. But first I decided to go via a cache closer to home.
And to finish the day went for a newly published cache late in the day.

Haven't picked up a Mary MacKillop cache in a while, and I was nearby...
Parked over the road, and down a bit, and walked back.
There was really only one viable hidey hole, and that's where I spotted it.
Then stood there for 2 minutes waiting for a break in the traffic so I cold make the grab unseen.
Took the cache away to complete signing duties - log didn't want to come out of the container without much fuss and agitation - then went back to replace. Only waited 30 seconds this time.

Set up at a local caravan park, and went out to pick up a few caches.
As we have done a few of Mary MacKillop caches, we seek them out when we can.
This was a good hide, easily found.
Many thanks for placing this series, Travelling Sister, for us and others to find.

So now I know Susahs (previous finder) is a fair bit taller than me 
. Had to make a couple of leaps (of faith?).
Container made me smile. TFTC!

Parked the car opposite and headed for the likely hiding spots. After 5 minutes, I still couldn't find anything, and a proper search wasn't easy due to the sudden appearance of every car in north-western Sydney on this road. I'll come back at a quieter time to do a proper search. TFTC!
Reasonably easy find although was thrown off the scent briefly by one of the comments. High muggle area

A nice, quick find to end our day of caching around this area. And another Mary MacKillop cache to continue my gradual progression through this series.
Thanks.

.Thanks
.Nice cache. Needed the hint to figure out where it was due to the compass jumping around. Thanks
After a long afternoon of caching, this was a pretty easy find, although retrieving it from it's hiding location proved more difficult than it should of, being wedged in quite tightly. I loved the unique cache container and the twist did the trick! SL and replaced container, TFTC Travelling Sister!
Spotted cache easily on approach however needed a tool to retrieve as subtly as possible. Another car pulled up alongside looking at a phone or gps just as I was driving off. Wonder if they were cachers too?
