A walk in the Park #5 Sydney, New South Wales, Australia
By ADAcache on 28-Sep-13. Waypoint GC4P5TZ

lovely spot shame its not here!

Found back when it was first placed. Great time

walked right past
after reading the logs

Tried 5 caches in this series today and had 3 DNF's. This was the second DNF.
It looks like the CO knows, just needs to check out where the problems are.

Unable to visit trackables to build up miles.

I'll be visiting this Feb 21 and will replace with the CO's permission if it is still missing.

had a look to see if it was just hiding but it evaded us, never mind!

will get out in the new year with a new cache

Needs disabling until it can be replaced and stop people wasting time on it

Urggh!

Oh, why did I bother....

No find either

Time for an owner check

We found no Nano even if the hint is pretty clear

13:46. Logged it with Cachebox!

Very specific location but as previous loggers suggest, its gone

I agree with the previous logger, I think this one has slipped into oblivion. With my big fingers there was probably no way I would have been able to retrieve it anyway, but even YGAT’s slim fingers failed to make contact with anything but rust.

I think it's lost within.

Quick find with Justjessie. TFTC

Found with O319. TFTC

Hint is pretty specific but we couldn't track it down.

Apart from WITP#6, which was not accessible, this was the only Walk In The Park I couldn't find.

Despite quite a bit of poking where the clue said, no luck for us!

The log is full. We fit onto the paper but the next might not.. please put a new one. Thanks for hiding.

This was an easy grab as nobody was there after a short rainfall

A lovely spot until bus-loads of tourists arrived to trample on our camera! A bit tricky to extract this cache from its hiding place but S, with the smallest fingers, managed it.

In between catching up with a friend, and going to a work Christmas party, both of which were in the CBD, it was a very pleasant afternoon for A Walk in The Park.

AWITP#1 - Things didn't start off that well, I found an information sign that had been pushed over and other objects that I might have searched better but they meant going into the garden bed. So I started with a DNF.

I wandered down to AWITP#2, where I spotted a container right away, as previous finders have said the log is mush, so I took a photo.

Then onto AWITP#3, where the swimmers were out in force on a warm afternoon. There was little choice as to where to look, so I was able to find it, but getting it back into place required waiting until the stream of passers by had abated.

AWITP#4 was next. I enjoyed the walk the most at this point, on a path I don't believe I had ever taken. After finding the cache where the hint said it would be, I decided to take the adventurous route and keep on heading up the hill above. A bit dicey in work attire. I had to convince an orb spider to vacate its home before I could jump the fence.

From here I was close to AWITP#5. It appears the litter bin cache has gone. I found the tiny thing thanks to the generous hint, but removing it from its place was difficult, as it had snuck itself inside quite well. I had to use a couple of nature's own tools to get out, nervously, as it could be lost forever. I placed it a tad easier for the next finder after taking a photo of the full log.

I was a bit nervous approaching AWITP#6 as previous finders had logged it as inaccessible. This is no loger the case, and I was releived to make a quick find.

TFTCs ADA Cache, great co-ords made for a nice afternoon walk. I then walked through the city as well, amazing all the people and fancy cars here these days.

Found quite easy.
Lots of rain.
TFTC.

Nice Sat afternoon

After completing work and meeting up with jordsauband morry9. We decided to attempt this series. Upon arriving in the park we discovered cache 6 could not be attained. Upon arriving at this cache we made the find in no time.

SL and replaced in a better hiding spot that fit the description as the cache stuck out like a sore thumb.

TNLN TFTC.

Because of limited internet access, I just write a very short log which I use for different caches. Sorry for that.

Logpaper is full. Logged as JZT.
TFTC!

Nice quick find, but struggled to get the nano in my hands. Then to find the log completely full. Took a PIC and replaced. Very busy spot for the photographs. Tftc.

Geocache # 993.
Found on Saturday, 23rd November 2013 at 5:31 PM.
Conditions: sunny.
Current streak # 115 days.
Today's finds 1 of 9.

Morry9 and I wanted to take advantage of the break in the stormy weather we have been having recently and also visit an exhibition at the Sydney Museum, which was finishing over the weekend. We met up with Goughy2012 after he finished work and headed off together in the direction of Mrs Macquarie's Chair and Wooloomooloo to attempt the mini 'Walk in the Park' power trail in reverse order, as well as the Earth Cache and a couple of other caches on the way.

We were foiled at A walk in the Park #6 because they had blocked off access due to the Harbour Life Festival being held today but numbers 5 down to 1 were quick finds for us as we walked in the park and around the peninsula to Wooloomooloo Bay.

Unfortunately I could not make the Event Cache for the Duke of Ed hikers when this series was first published but I am glad I could get to do them eventually. TFTC's and the series ADAcache.

CO please note that the log is full and needs replacing urgently.

"JordsAU

Log scroll is full needs replacing.

Headed out from my hotel for an early morning walk before work this morning and decided to have a go at this power trail. This was the fifth cache I came to. A quick find but as per previous logs, the log sheet is full. I was able to find just enough space to initial it B. TFTC, Biggles.

Another good find with TuisReturn
We enjoyed touring around the area finding caches

LOG FULL TFTC

Found while on a big geo trip away with tmann421.
Sorry for the late & repeat logs as just catching up now.
A great time had, some wonderful places seen, thanks to all the NSW geo cachers.

Quick find in a great location, but the log scroll is full and I could barely squeeze one letter in. Thanks for the cache.

A bit of a rainy afternoon, but K is on fire. Her third find in a row -- on two continents! TFTC!

Logbook is full but view is nice, even it s raining ! TFTC

enjoyed the nice view to the opera. tftc

First one in Sydney. Now, for sure, our tour guide thinks we are completely off the track. Fun place to cache.

On the occasion of our Australia round trip, we passed this cache. Quick finding. 20 minutes afterwards there was a great fireworks near the opera - wonderful!
Thanks and greetings from Germany

Found quickly by Mrs Slowfox thanks to the hint. TFTC

Quick find. Signed on only space left...#33. Log now totally full. Needs replacing. TFTC!!

On a geowalk in the park. TFTC

Found with fastasl but was not where the clue suggested, was in plain muggle sight, so have hidden slightly

Micro again

Enjoying the incredible View and finding a cache. Perfect. Thx for the cache.

One of my founds on a afternoon caching.

We found this Cache by a walk in our hollyday.
Thanks for this Cache and greetings from Germany says Pantoffelheld.

A great hide. TFTC ADAcache

Number 2 today. Very small and tight hide for sure. TFTC. (3491)

Only a few available spots so had a look at what was probably tempting and made the find.

TFTC!
A nice place in Sydney!

My first cache found in Australia!!

Lots of muggles about here, so I had to pretend to be on the mobile phone walking around when I spotted the little blighter. Had to be careful taking out the nano of it hidy hole. Not much room left in the log book for this one. TFTCM
Cheers

Fully sunshine and loads (bus loads) muggles who are absorbed taking each other pictures, no wonder, it's a perfect day - tftc

a very nice park and nice hide . After looking around we could find this one too . Thanks for walking us along the park and nice greetings from Munich, Germany

This was definitely the smallest box I ever found.

Find with my alcolyte during the vacation at Sydney. Found underground and the logbook is full.

Papichon from Montréal, Canada

Another find. Many muggles around, but they proved to be no problem.

Got it.
TFTC

A great way to see the beautiful city of Sydney on our day to explore. TFTC

Windy day had it covered with debris, but a quick brush around and we found it.

We decided to make a trip throw the botanic garden. We found this tiny one with the first grab. Thanks for hidding. Greatings from Germany AWSOME VIEW!!!!!

Nice cache - found after a bit of looking around - TFTC.

As always the ground is the best hint

A definite FAVORITE. The view was world class. I could sit while retrieving the cache,while not only enjoying the view, but also listening to the chatty birds. TFTC!

Tftc

This was the 5th find of the day on a nice Saturday afternoon. This cache was spotted after a brief search and a peek at the hint. Thanks for the hide.

Cache was buried under debris which made it harder, as well as all the muggles.

Found during my stay in NSW. First week we were at Sydney, since I went there to attend a conference. We did quite a lot of walking around this astonishing town. Most of the caches were just small mint boxes or nanos, but that is to be expected in such a big city. I'm especially thankful for all the bigger caches that were easier to find, since my time for the geocaching was somewhat limited.

After the first week we rented a car and went to explore the NSW national parks. Since the Blue Mountains were closed due to bush fires (hope all is well now), we went a 1000km to see Mungo park. We saw a lot of kangaroos, emus, wombats and some koalas in the wild. On our way back to Sydney we visited Canberra and some beautiful parks north of it. We enjoyed the drive-in view that allowed us to see more beauty in shorter time. We spent last day in Royal National Park where we fooled around at a beach and in the waves. We did a short walk on a cost track, which showed as how beautiful the ocean and the coast really are.

Unfortunately, we had to head back to our country ;-( I hope we get to visit NSW again some day.

Thanks for every cache there.

About as small as it gets.

A quick find for a cache 'living dangerously'... Always a pleasure to be back on that spot. Another nostalgic place where Philma's bin used to be but the bins were changed and modernised, and this nice multi cache was gone.
Beautiful views, some of the best in Sydney!
TFTC and the series!

1041 - 13:50; The seventh of a mini mission in central Sydney while the geowife and couple of geoteens undertook some retail therapy. After an up and down week, the therapy I needed was to get out in the sunshine and talk a walk in one of the best pieces of parkland on the face of the globe. I hadn't updated the GPSr for this area for a while, so had to rely on the iPhone and despite early misgivings, all went well. Surprised this little guy has lasted and hopes he continues to do so. Popular spot with the tourists, but luckily their interests were focussed in a different direction! TFTC and the series ADAcache

From our hotel on Milsons Point I took the ferry to Circular Quay for some caches in CBD and the Botanical Gardens. It turned out to be a very enjoyable walk and not too many muggles as I was well before lunch hour.

The second cache was an easy find with the hint. Nearby loads of Chinese tourists were taking pictures of each other, the group, themselves. And then they all do those stupid poses, making a V with their fingers.

TFTC and greetings from the Netherlands.

Looking for this one we met Chechroo he has "spot" us at the park# 6. Always nice to meet other cachers. Some nice Geocaching talk. Thanks for this one.

found it during our holiday in australia

Found today whilst at lunch

It's great to see this series around the Domain and Mrs Macquarie's Chair. Well done ADAcache for placing them particularly for our overseas caching friends to find. Even though there are always plenty of muggles around, this one is an easy find.

Quick find

Beautiful hide! Well done. TFTC

Another cache on our tour through australia! TFTC

Nice and easy

While I was enjoying the beautifull view my girlfriend found it straight away.

Found this easily without any muggles nearby. TFTCSL.

Plenty of muggles on a beaut day as the lower track is closed. TFTC

This was a nice easy find despite the high level of muggle activity. I sat to retie my shoe lace and also managed to retrive, sign and replace the cache. TFTC.

This one defeated me a few days ago but I think the hint has been added since and today it was straightforward. A favourite point for hiding something in plain view. Always makes me chuckle to think thousands of people walk past it every day. Tftc

We spent a few days at Sydney and enjoyed to discover a small part of this big city.
On our last day we took a walk around the botanic gardens and found several caches meanwhile...
Thanks for placing this cache!

Luckily I had the chance to update our Sydney PQ during our Australia trip. So we noticed this little new trail on our way to the botanic garden.

No problems here either.

Found it on a "walk in the park".

second while waiting for flighttime

A quick find not many muggles around TFTC

Beautiful day to tackle the walk-in-the-park mini power trail, headed down after watching some of the naval parade along George Street. This is a cheeky little hide and luckily I managed to discover the cache quickly. I wonder how long this one will survive before being muggled? SL TFTC!

Found with Krewlworld on a tip from Brisbane TFTC

Found with sniffme on a beautiful Sunny day on an impromptu visit to Sydney.

I was in Sydney for a couple of days of meetings. After arriving I took the opportunity to go for a walk, take in the sights and pick up a few caches along the way. An easy find at GZ. I was sat there and had just finished signing the log when I noticed someone looking at their phone go and sit on the seat nearby. I didn't want to replace the cache when I thought I might be spotted. Eventually the person came across - it turned out to be Purplepeopleeater. I gave him the cache and showed him where it came from. After a quick chat I carried on my way. TFTC.

There was a young fumbling around with a log scroll when I arrived at GZ, so after a few minutes I wandered over and asked if I could have the cache. He kindly granted my wish. Nice to be handed a cache by a complete starnger in the middle of Sydney:)

A 'team-find' with L.R. TFTC

As we approached GZ we were entertained by a massive cruise ship leaving port. The Carnival Spirit was being backed out by tugboats, and it seemed to extend right across the harbour from one side to the other. That kept us amused for a while, and was a good distraction for the muggles around us who didn't seem to notice us scratching around in the dirt. It wasn't immediately obvious, and required a bit of gardening to discover its whereabouts. Greetings from New Zealand. TFTC
