Hi guys,
I would like to thank all the geocachers out there who tried to find the first cache I hid in Sydney. I actually went to La Perouse 2 weeks ago to have a look at the cache after coming back from Malaysia, and it was hidden well together with the rubbish. It's a shame for me not to clear the rubbish out before I left, but I'm happy that the place is finally cleaned! (But of course in another hand my cache is gone... Hohoho...) I do hope to have the log book as a remembrance! Thanks, guys!

This cache was right in the path of the Australia Day clean up and has been removed for several reasons.
1. The cache container was severely damaged and its contents strewn about and damaged.
2. The vegetation (weeds) that was previously covering the cache has been killed and removed (by weeders) and so the cache was no longer hidden.
3. Since the time the cache was hidden a swarm of bees has made there home within 3 metres of the cache. The hive is built at ground level and could be trampled by people trying to find the cache.
Mind Socket has the log book, there was nothing else (including the container) that was worth keeping.
I have removed the first WP as well as there seemed no point to keeping it there.

As AR said, the cache (of which I'd found WP1 previously) was in a sorry state when I arrived for the clean-up. Leek and AR left it in it's supposedly usual spot, and with all the weeds and litter cleared, it was a no-brainer.
RIP little cache.
I have the log book in case anyone gets sentimental and wants it.

Found this one during the cache clean up event today... I didn't intend for us to be actually cleaning up caches, but considering the fact that it had been trashed by someone, and the changes to the local environment ( as explained by AlternateRoute) this seemed to be the only logical thing to do...

Found by Mary & David at 1955. Our fourth following a very late start after long late lunch with friends at Coogee. As the light was fading, it would probably be the last for the day. A multi with history, views and an unexpected ending. Found both parts with no trouble. Took little red dinosaur and left a geen car. No Tom here today, but interesting to recognise the places he had been. Thanks to Canonnie, Renee & Ndrea.
Not found by Leek and MindSocket? This is a job for BUSHPUSHERS!!! (queue cool rock music)
WP1 fell quickly as it did for the others. WP2 took some interesting thinking but it was there waiting to be found.
A nice hunt with an interesting twist at the end.
THanks guys.

Found the first waypoint very quickly and the answer to the question... However, I could not find the final cache. I searched almost everywhere for about 30 minutes...
I might return one day with a garbage bag to clean up the site... then I might stand a chance of finding the cache...

Found the cache in no time. Next person to find it might want to take a plastic bag for the logbook and pen.
Left a chupa chup and took nothing.

Beautiful area.
As suggested by previous logs, the cache is well camoflaged amongst bits of refuse. Took nothing and left nothing.

Ahoy Canonnie, Renee & Ndrea!!
Swooped on this one with 1st mate and cabin girl. Cabin girls keen eye for orange peels at the 1st waypoint soon had us on the way. Loved the location so much that we took a tour.
The cache alas be a sad state for it has moisture within. Suggest a clean up. At 1st me thinks the cache to be discarded rubbish and totally by passed it for rocks and water.
Looted Snoopy and left a click frog key chain in the wet conditions and Blackbeard's calling card.

found location 1 ok, but had no idea what to look for at location 2 , and there is so much trash, i discounted it all as just refuse. ah well i guess ill have to make another trip down there one day.
If there's one thing we love, it's capsules. This one was a big bigger than most of our favourites, but was okay nevertheless. General area is very nice, but cache location is a bit of a trampled tip.
This was one of four and the last for the day. Found the micro cache fairly easily, however the main cache took me a little longer. Even though this was only found yesterday I feel that the cache is not in its orginal location as this place has turned into a main thoroughfare. Maybe it needs some maintenace guys.... Still had lots of fun. I even tried my motorbike out across the bridge, just like others have in the past.

Found the microcache immediately and didn't take much longer to find the main stash. Annoyed looks from the couple smooching on the grass nearby, but you get that in a big job.
Took Scubadoo along for his first cache.
We left a toy car and took a Freddo.

It's seems we are always around here on Mother's Day. The oldies finally have come back from their around Australia trip again so it was over for Mother's Day. Nice location for a cache and a pleasant autumn morning. Now if we can only get the oldies to do geocaching!
Nice one

I had a bit of time before work, for a morning raid on this cache. It took me a bit longer than it should have because I mistook the cahce for some rubbish. Swapped some Easter eggs for a watch.
What beautifull weather to start the week. The 2 Dogs enjoyed the sunshine and rock hopping and found the capsule being guarded by crows. Exchanged a butterfly slinky for....a watch. Well it is a TIME capsule.The secretary has disavowed all knowledge of our actions.
Your mission, Ethan, should you choose to accept it, is to claim and log this cache while avoiding a myriad of Sunday afernoon onlookers. The virgin cache was undisturbed, but it close to a popular thoroughfare.
Good to see the bridge intact after being blown up in MI-2.
Took submarine bullet pen and left phone charger.
