The cache has been removed as the nearby building is undergoing demolition
Not today ... and not until construction is finished ... unbeaten, I will return someday.
Arrived at GZ and thought about where I would hide a cache here! Well, after searching the obvious places, I needed to widen my search and came up with a smiley. Did the legals and replaced as found. TFTCM

Cool spot also cool to end on a find as the last one was a DNF. Hint helped if you think outside the box
Found with ZimbaW and our geohounds, I really had no idea how big UNSW is! Quite impressive really. Thanks for this one Jayden.streatfeild
Thank you for our first cache at an Educational precinct and my old uni. Easy find with container large enough to add bits. BYO pen needed!
F(H)ound It! #1815 - @12:20:00 PM
With caching buddy Miz Wacket and the geohounds.
The hint helped a lot with this one. Unable to be so quiet and stealthy on approach to GZ and I was sprung by a security guard.
Are you looking for something?...Yes!.
What are you looking for?...a geocache, and I've found it!
Ishowed him the container, he smiled (did I detect pity in that smile? Or that sort of smile you reserve for humoring strange nutters?)
Anyway we proceeded down and westwards to collect more caches and were not interrupted again.Thanks for the cache, jayden.streatfeild.

Muggle free Sundays. Wore the wrong shoes for this sort of adventure but it was just under our feet the whole time we were looking!
Found before picking up my geoson from uni. The cache has a very light camo of pigeon poo.

Saw it straight away, but had to wait until the girl in the hi-vis vest turned the corner. TFTC
My first geocaching trip at UNSW since graduating a while back. Really enjoyed the walk around campus with sharanyaexpress. TFTC
Was out and about in the area so stopped over at the University of New South Wales to find a few caches there. Parked the car in Macas and then headed over. In finding these caches I was taken along many roads and lanes, seeing some interesting buildings and parks. All in all a nice walk on a summer's day.
I headed towards gz and just after I arrived the gps bounced around everywhere. I walked on a bit, unsure, but then spotted something that made me realise that I was in the right location. After a bit of a search there the hint suddenly made sense - how strange. Saw the cache and with a reach I had it in hand. Signed the log and replaced it to its hiding spot. Left the tennis ball behind (I have plenty of my own). TFTC

THIS TOOK FORever! But great hide and had a great time finding with out uber driver so much fun! Thank you
During our holidays in AU we discovered a lot of interesting places and caches. This is one of them.
Thanks for hiding and maintaining.

A year ago I had quick look here, but with limited time and many muggles about, left it alone. A few months ago on a wet Sunday, I knew where to look, but it was MIA. CO confirmed it, so logged a DNF. Today I had just completed and found a new nearby puzzle, so wandered over and virtually walked straight up to GZ, saw the replacement container and it was CIH! The log sheet(s) was empty, so FTsign!
Thanks for replacing and TFTC. Not many muggles this arvo and not much going on at the uni this time of the year.

Disabled because it is gone and I will need time to find a replacement.
Looked for ages. Tried PAF who confirmed I was searching in right spot but no cache. Looks like it's MIA. Will message CO with photos. Maybe I just had cache blindness today?
Phone had us going in circles so reverted to map view and found it fairly quickly after that. TFTC.
Fathers day afternoon with two geo children in the UNSW. After a coffee break it was off to the fifth of our finds which was found by dad. Hooray. TFTC
Went for a cache after work nearby. GPS was a bit jumpy, after walking around for a bit, I found it! Went at 5pm on a Monday, few muggles around, hit a few looks (what's he doing in there?! I'm sure they thought). Cache #70, first in Randwick!!! TFTC
Out and about on a rainy Friday to find a few caches.
My GPSr had me all over the place ... as did my phone.
So a bit of exploring before spotting this one tucked away.
Thanks for the cache.

Finally found it after the first two tries , really good camo , can't believe I didn't see it the first two times
TNLN SL , TFTC !!!

Still in its hiding spot, I'm surprised at the number of muggles people are encountering?? Compared to semester this place is dead! My tip: check the right side.
Wayyyyyy too many muggles around , I could estimate the rate to be on average 2 *muggles/min*
Definitely not to be attempted during work/class hours , will try again around midnight or dawn >.

Another pre work cache at UNSW! Always best to cache here early weekend mornings as there's never anyone around! I'm normally caching here around 6am. Teachers are at home and students are sleeping it off. I was last here searching for this cache several months ago when it had been evidently muggled so im really glad to see the CO has replaced it. Be wary of the magnitude of cobwebs when bowing down on all fours praying to the cache god!! TFTC
Replaced with a new container and log. Definitely had been mugged. HAPPY CACHING!!!!
I've been told that it might have been mugged, I will check it out on Thursday.
6.15am (pre work) cache so no one around. Found something. Exactly matching the hint on both sides of GZ (including cobwebs) but no cache. Had to leave for work so I'll be back again.

Australia Tour 15/16 - Brisbane => Sydney => Melbourne => Adelaide => Brisbane
by Nadine 1989 & Martin major
After our first part with the spaceship-car we visited Sydney with the famous Opera House and the Harbour Bridge. A nice city with a mass of tourist but it was not impossible to find some nice caches in the city.
In the few days we visited so many caches that it is not possible to write a personal logbook entry to each cache. Thank you for your work and effort to hide this cache.

We decided to do all six tradis on the campus in the morning before we fly to Melbourne because we stayed in one of the colleges. Thankfully we found all of them and some are very special. We had lots of fun and really enjoyed these caches.
We needed a while to think about where the cache can be. Had an idea and voila we found the cache.

I had visited the UNSW last Saturday, and picked up four other caches, but decided on a return trip today to fill in a calendar gap. Stopped off on the way to work, parking the geomobile in Eurimbla Avenue and walking across Botany Street and then down to GZ.
The uni was much busier than when I was here on Saturday and I was lucky to get a parking spot reasonably close. Thankfully GZ was not too busy and I was able to quickly spot the nice big cache container sitting in it’s hide. Ah, now I understand what the hint refers to. TNLNSL. TFTC.

I have been looking for it for a while but couldn't make it. My friend raindoctor who found this cache long long time ago kindly provided help to me but the cache wasn't in the original place any more. One problem was the GPS on my phone always couldn't work well around that place. But finally I found it today!!! I thought about the place where the cache might hide and it was there! Then I realized it is actually very easy to find. Thanks for the cache!

It's Oz Comic-con time again, and so I needed to deliver Geoson #2 to the door at White Bay so he could work on one of the stands.
This meant an early start in an area I don't cache in that often, so despite the fact I've been very light on Saturday finds recently - evening up finds on each day of the week (still lots of work to do on that though) - i decided to go for a lot of finds today. In particular, I was looking at one puzzle I'd finally solved a little while ago and an assault on my old alma mater the UNSW.
In the end I got 15 finds amid a few DNFs and a "can't get this to work" multi.
A good day.

Quick find here - really only one possibility for this sized cache - just had to wait until the coast was clear to make the grab - procession of muggles for about a minute!.
Completed signing duties and replaced.

The GPSr was really jumpy this morning, going from 10 metres to 40 metres distance to GZ. However persistence paid off and soon spotted after most students had gone to class. Grabbed the container and retired to a nearby seat to do the business. TNLN, SL and just as I was about to return the cache there were a number of muggles congregating and having coffee in the sun. I waited and 15 minutes later they left I was able to return the cache and recamo. TFTC jayden.streatfeild.
Excellent container! Wondered if it is a throw down, as no camouflage whatsoever! Visiting from the U.S., and looking for places to drop some coins.
Came over to 'take' my daughter and her friend to Allday at the Roundhouse. Dropped them off and then had a few hours to walk around the Uni. Came around from the outside, and walked in. Muggles came by every so often, and once I got to GZ, saw the cache. Grabbed it, SL, TNLN and replaced covering it up a little better. TFTC.
TFTC,
Arrived at GZ and the GPS was showing 13M to go.
Moved away and it indicated we should be around the back of the building. Started to go and it directed us back. Time to put it away. Checked the description and hint and went in for a detailed search. BINGO and CIH. Wouldn't like to try this on a weekday.
Visited a group of trackables.

For today with Wazza9, as he said the GPS was not much help, no camo to replace. Signed log and replaced. Thanks to jayden. streatfeild.
Hi Jayden! Your favorite cousin found your cache this morning with TheScoutWizard and had loads of fun!
A quick find by accurate GPS. Many muggles are there! Be stealth~~~
TFTC, greetings from HK!

I work in this building and I've been trying to get to this one for a couple of weeks now but there are always muggles around. Luckily today is a 'Good' Friday for geocaching! Easy to find once there was time to look. TFTC jayden, and also thanks for leaving the pen Skylark!
Missed this one during my last visit. Dunno why.....how can that be?! This time CIH within seconds! Tftcsl.
Found it in the early hours of the day when there were fewer Muggles.
Didn't realise it was BYOP, but I'll see if I can still access it /sign it when I come back in an hour with my bag.

Here's to you Birt! After all these years of primary, secondary, tertiary and post-graduate education, I can now efficiently find a lost lunchbox! (My 2nd Geoson has also mastered the 'Lunchbox' finding skill. I hope he will in years to come study here at UNSW where I have both studied and worked, and where his muggle mum currently works).
Found with Snickersallanm, getting late, puzzle to go before we conclude for the day
A quick detour find with rainbowstar2 on a surprisingly muggle-heavy day. I'd known of this cache for quite a while, but never actually had a search - I'd glimpsed at some possible locations, and the logical one yielded the cache. There were lots of spider webs around!
Great to see a nice sized one on campus and so well maintained! TFTC, jayden.streatfeild!

I had a look for it but the gps was stuffing up and we had to get going. If I had more time I'm sure I would have found it.
