Very tricky... didn't find it. Need more clues.
 
23-Feb-16
No response from CO.

I pass this daily. It's gone.
 
20-Feb-16
After a 23hr flight from London nothing better than a long walk and some caching. Can easily see where this should have been but as previous reports there nothing here.
 
15-Feb-16
Had some time to look after a job nearby but couldn't find it, found the perfect spot but nothing there unfortunately Sad
 
10-Feb-16
Pretty sure it's gone. Found a perfect little nook but nothing inside. Broadened the search to no avail. Had reviewed pictures from previous finders and we were definitely looking in the right spot.
 
10-Feb-16
CO should check after repeated DNFs
 
06-Feb-16
Suggest CO check this one, as there have been a string of DNF's. My search was reasonably thorough.
 
06-Feb-16
Add me to the list of DNF's. This was the last attempted before meeting CotE at the Australia Museum, with the string of DNF's, I left it to see if I had time. I will log a "Needs Maintenance" also, so that the CO is notified of its likely muggling.
 
04-Feb-16
Found the most likely spot but nothing here. Sad
 
01-Feb-16
Not found. Need maintance
 
17-Jan-16
Had a look around this morning. Nice and quiet. But couldn't see cache. Went to the logs and saw it hasn't been found in ages. Perhaps it's missing! Who knows.
 
Pretty sure I found GZ, but the concealment is not in place and no sign of cache. Sad
 
13-Jan-16
Think this one has been muggled Sad
 
08-Jan-16
DNF -Parnell family
 
03-Jan-16
After a very long wait for an opportunity to strike, I found what I assume to be the hiding spot, but no cache. Either I should've sat around longer, or it's missing.
I'll try again once it's presence has been re established.
 
02-Jan-16
Ditto. Found (suspected) hiding spot but looks like a muggle job
 
30-Dec-15
Definitely found GZ but unfortunately no cache Sad please replace soon so I can retrieve before I leave!! Thanks Smile
 
27-Dec-15
Think it may have been taken away by a muggle Sad
 
26-Dec-15
Couldn't see anything but stopped looking when I came across a used syringe.
 
18-Dec-15
Pretty sure I found the hidey hole, but alas it was empty.
 
14-Dec-15
DNF but perhaps we did not search enough. Sad
 
07-Dec-15
Thank you for replacing it before I have to go home.

Our first full day in Australia! A walk about tour of Sydney following the GPSr through Hyde Park and the Botanical Gardens. We then passed the swimming pool and military harbour on a walk up to Mrs Macquarie's Chair (where we stopped for coffee and panoramic views over the harbour). Then onwards to Circular Quay and the Opera House. After a much needed ice cream we went to Barangaroo, and Darling Harbour. Eventually we made it back to the hotel. Having walked 14 miles we earnt our luxury dinner - an amazing meal at Moon Park Korean Restaurant with my Cousin, Roger. What a fantastic day! http://izziewhizzie.blogspot.co.uk/search?updated-min=2016-01-01T00:00:00Z&updated-max=2017-01-01T00:00:00Z&max-results=1 [/blue]

This was way too easy. I've put it back as I found it, but not sure it's where it should be, maybe the CO could check.

Finally I got my very own account. Now I log all the caches, I found together with Mutex over the last while. In his profile ([url=https://goo.gl/hcB2ug]https://goo.gl/hcB2ug[/url]) you can see his confirmation, that we search and find together.
I hope, this it's ok for all the owners. If there are any questions, feel free to contact any of us.
Cheers and TFTC

At the moment I'm on a work and travel backpacking trip through the world. Most of the first two years I'll spend in Australia and I will try to collect a lot of boxes and all the special things in every state all around and through the middle.

Today we spent a day in the city, doing some touristing and, of course, getting a couple of boxes and most of the old virtuals.
Third of the day and a quick and easy find. Some muggles around, but after not even half a minute there was a moment alone.

TFTC and greetings from Germany

After a great geocaching holiday in NZ it was time for us (=tanjuli + husband, vipema, Veke68 & Katsukka = TVVK-FIN in the logbooks) to head home. Luckily, again, we had a long enough layover in Sydney and made it to town to log a couple of quick caches.

TFTC!
 
01-Nov-15
Long time dream came true and we could visit New Zealand and Australia. NZ Mega was our maingoal and we had time to find others too. We travelled together with Veke68, Katsukka and tanjuli (+husband) and had great time. We used TVVK Fin (that is tanjuli, vipema, Veke68 and Katsukka) in mostly logbooks to save space.

Thanks for the cache.

Greetings from Finland.

As I waited to cross the street at the lights opposite GZ I surveyed the location and spotted what looked like a possible hide from a distance. Once reaching the bottom of the stairs I checked the place I'd spied and it turned out to be spot on.
Took the cache up the stairs past the interesting drinking fountain to a nearby seat to do the signing duties. On returning to GZ it was easy to replace the cache as there was no one around. Sunday afternoon is a great time the cache.

I collected a TB from the cache and have logged it but it was not listed as being in the cache. The 2 listed TB's were not there. Visited 3 other TB's.

There was certainly super stealth needed for this one. Helped by a fellow cacher who spotted the hiding spot with a quick find and me retrieving it. TFTC.

Mega trip to NZ with vipema, Veke68 and Katsukka. We had stopover in Sydney and time for some local caches. It is easy to be stealthy with group of six! Signed as TVVFIN. Thanks for the cache.

One of the pitfalls of urban caches is that you often end up scrabbling on your knees looking for it, which is impossible when there's any people around. To me, a good urban cache is one that's immediately obvious when you know what you're looking for, and gives you the opportunity to make a sneaky sign, even when there are people passing through. This is obviously one of those caches - a surprisingly opportunistic hiding spot, pretty clear hide just by looking, and a convenient spot to obscure the long signing while pretending to make a phone call. Fun diversion for a lunchtime, thanks for placing it!
 
19-Oct-15
Found with the Mercury Prawnheads. Needed extra super sleuthiness with the Friends booth and road workers nearby.
 
18-Oct-15
Found an empty container just openly lying around and nothing else. We left a new paper as log and signed it. Hided it where er thought it should have been. Cache should be checked I guess. TFTC and greetings from Switzerland

Found with Brookvale-CurlCurl Venturers! Not matching GPS but still easy to find.

Tried this one ages ago with no luck.
Success this time, though the GPS was still pointing us 'there', and we found it 'here'.

Up in Sydney for the ACEL (Australian College of Educational Leaders Conference). Couldn't leave this fantastic city until I had found at least one cache.
