Like thelast few before me i believe this to be gone.

moving away

Nope

Looked in all the possible locations but nothing was found...

No luck today here

Guessing it could be gone

Spent a while this morning searching, looking, thinking and searching some more. No luck for me today.

Cache sitting outside in open not sure if located b someone else and left out. Placed where I thought it might have come from. TFTC

Heading into the city this afternoon I had a few hours spare so opted to do a few caches around where I was spending the night. Parked centrally and did a loop walk around the streets.
A nice easy one to start my walk.
Thanks

Nice church

Yay another find after a gruelling walk up the steep street. TFTC

Parked up at the cache site. Got out of the car and sat on the now defunct bus seat and summed up the situation. Possibly there. Bingo. Sat back on the seat to sign log and admire the lovely old church where many moons ago I went to a wedding. TFTC bonaccordians.

Took a slight diversion from my usual route home from work today, after a morning shift, to pick up a few caches around Rushcutters Bay and Double Bay, in Sydney's Eastern Suburbs. This was the 3rd of 5 finds for the afternoon.

After a couple of finds along New Beach Road this was my next target. Parked right alongside the church, in Greenoaks Avenue, and then wandered around the corner to GZ for a quick find. It certainly is a grand old church with an impressive spire towering skyward. TNLNSL, and then replaced as found. TFTC bonaccordians.

Temporary log

Excellent. Interesting church. Tx

On this cloudy Sunday midday I was walking from Kings Cross to Bondi, checking out neighbourhoods in between. Eventually ended up climbing up this hill - and was rewarded with a magnificent view towards the Harbour Bridge! [^]

A quick sidetrip to do this cache resulted in me sitting on a bench and evidencing what the cache description already alluded to: seemingly better-heeled folks having a chat in the church yard after the Sunday service and driving off in their probably-pretty-costly-and-brand-new vehicles. The socialites in action? Should I have taken paparazzi photos just in case there were some important people over there.

But back to reality. Once the immediate traffic was over, the container was back in its hide. BTW, probably the easiest D2 hide I've come across.
All good here. TFTC, Bonaccordians!

Another stunning day in Sydney and a church to compliment. Sat on bench to post my find in a new fresh log! TFTC.

Took a little while but found it eventually!!

Came visiting with a geokid who is about to baptised at this very church, so it seemed apt to log the find while visiting her. Spent a little too long sitting in contemplation at the wrong spot, but quickly had the cache in hand one I correctly identified gz. Tftc

An afternoon caching in the Eastern Suburbs. After picking up some caches in Rushcutters Park, I walked uphill to visit the Bells of St.Marks.
The replacement cache was found in good order and I was happy to add my name on a empty sheet. I almost felt like a FTF.

Two days ago, I was admiring graffiti in a building 20 minutes walk from here. Spotting a potentially useful container disguised as rubbish, I took my eyes off my footing momentarily and stepped on a nail.
The doctor's response the next day, to my amusement, was an exasperated, "Oh God." (Yeah, he's awesome.) ...
ANYWAY the point is, there's now a pink box somewhere near these coordinates. The attachment method is a bit precarious, so there's no pen/cil.

thanks Kunama!

It seemed straight forward, but not there

probably gone.

Nice quiet area. DNF but enjoyed the search.

We're visiting from Florida, USA. That was great fun. Thanks for placing the cache.

Nice find by geo jnr while scooting round the streets. TFTC. Didn't have a pen but will return to sign log.

All good here, TFTC

On our way out to Darling Point, stopped by here.
Wondered if visiting on a Sunday morning around 11am would mean muggle mayhem. Not so.
Made a reasonably straightforward find on the cache.
All in order; log signed, cache safely re-hidden, just as found.
TFTC found with team cacher Sweet P too
The Turtle strikes again!

Found with morry9. I had to run an errand in Edgecliff, and morry9 was available to accompany me and attempt a few caches while we were out. While waiting for the office to return from their lunch break, I went across the road to find 'The Edgecliff Angel' Traditional Cache. It was a quick find but I inadvertently knocked it over the edge (literally) and it fell to the ground of the level below. I walked around to collect it and thankfully, its robust construction meant the cache was unharmed in the little mishap, phew! I walked back up to perform the signing duties and return the cache to its hiding spot. Once the errand had been run and was out of the way, morry9 and I went to 'The Bells of St. Marks' for a quick park and grab. There was a neighbouring pooch who appeared very lonely and was watching me intently underneath the fence (see attached photo). We moved onto the 'Lost Boy' Multi Cache next and we located the clue to work out the final resting place of the cache. Many a time, while out geocaching, both morry9 and I have felt like lost boys! We then popped down to 'Grotty Yachtie: CYC' for a relatively quick find, followed by a Did Not Find at 'Sailing with Ben', although we did not have a good opportunity to conduct a thorough search with all of the muggles out and about. As a final hunt for the afternoon, we walked over to the other side of Rushcutters Bay Park to make contact with some alien lifeforms at 'Take us to your Leader'. Not the hide we were thinking of, so it took us longer than it should have, but one we have seen before. Nevertheless, it was good to finish up with another find under our belts. Thanks For The Caches to the respective Cache Owners!

For today I wanted to visit some caches. After studying the GC map I decided to go to Edgecliff and Darling point.
As it was a Sunday and the weather was nice I expected I would not be able to search for all the caches I wanted to visit. Because at some places I expected to many muggles.
I left my apartment just before 12am to cache the train from Martin place to Edgecliff.
Because I finished my search earlier then expected and with less founds than I hoped for I decided to extent my search.
At the end of the day I had found 9 caches. 2 caches I could not find. And 4 or 5 I had to skip due to muggles.
I expected this one at the other side of the road. But I could not find it. Then I realized that my gps pointed to the other side of the road.
A quick look revealed a possible cache location. And a quick grab left the cache in my hand
Thanks for this one.

Quick find on my way back home. TFTC!

A quick and easy find being a typical Sydney side cache. Lids faulty but camo is protecting it from the rain. Didn't sign log as I couldn't retrieve cache due to muggles. Tftc

new container

TFTC!

Found cache in a squashed state as noted in previous logs, though it still works
TFTC

Looked in the wrong spot for a good 5 minutes before it became obvious where it must be. Good one!
So nice to sit and watch a wedding unfold too.

Got some funny looks from a wedding party, but found.

An easy find here while on an early morning walk from Edgecliff to Darling Point. TFTC

With Solving4X. This was the second go for us, having no luck the first time. We now realize it was because there was some construction at GZ and that probably explains why the cache wasn't there. It seems it was knocked off and maybe got parked on! Container does need to be replaced, though.

Lovely little church with some nice history. Cache is in desperate need of repair.

Today I have to go to market research in the city. So I park up near here for free and unlimited parking. I decided to go and find a cache on my down to the train station. I looked in the most obvious pl and no luck, then the next pl I looked bingo found it. Didn't take long. I don't think you were aloud to hide it in that spot. Also needs maintenance a bit squashed. Cheers for the cache!

Good find

Out for a day of caching in the area. Where my dad use to deliver coal and coke. Many years again. I was having a history lesson as we drove around the area.
I'm figure I knew where this one was but no. I double checked and widen the search area I really want to find this one as I would be my dad's first find but nothing
As we step on to the road my dad said 'what that'. I replied ' that is it.'
Poor little cache was squashed flat it seems to have fallen off it hiding place and been run over. I took it back to the car for some TLC. I used pliers to open it up so I could retrieve the log. I sign and replaced where it should have been. The CO may like to replace. now I have a geodad. TFTC.

First spot I looked, but it was too well camouflaged. After another 20 minutes I looked again. Excellent spot, great description. Didn't bring a pen so I'll sign the log another time. TYFC

Thanks for the find! The dream team!

TFTC nice hide!

Quick find!

Supprisingly quick find, thank you bonaccordians!!

#6 of 8 for the afternoon, on foot in the inner eastern suburbs.

TFTC

Looked at first of course in the wrong spot but nevertheless it was an easy find.

Just passed by...and then got the cache! TFTC!

Enjoyed the walk up the marathon steps. Tgtc

Easy to find, but smart idea for the spot.
Found it after 10 seconds in the spot.

#2535 (3 of 3 today) (Streak day 222)

Picking up a few caches before tonight's Sydney FC match

used Christmas Day and visited the city and a few caches wanted .. TFTC

Christmas Eve and the people are coming out of St Marks after the Family Service. Think we'll come back here for the same service tomorrow morning - it looks like a great old stone church and am looking forward to seeing it inside while worshiping on Christmas Day. We are a long way from our family church in Brissy and by ourselves for Christmas for the first time in 46 years!

Easy find, once we had exhausted the possibility of a cache on the Seat at the dis-used bus stop.

Found at 7.00pm on 24th December 2015. TFTC

Awesome! Visiting from Melbourne and want to did as many caches add i can, my first 2 of the day after dnf's so far and was worried I wasn't going to find any caches today :s so glad I found this one.

Very picturesque church, glad I've seen it, thank you!

Found whilst holidaying in Sydney from albany wa TFTC

Those pesky shoelaces! Fortunately I had somewhere to sit nearby and get things in order. Container is missing lid but contents are dry. What a great old church. TFTC!

Walking back from a meeting in DB. Been meaning to grab this one. Tftc

That was my last day in Sydney and I wanted to go to the beach. I stopped here and found the cache.

Found it after missing last 2, TFTC

Fairly easy and yet well hidden from muggles tftc

Quick pickup TFTC bonaccordians

I've been living in Sydney for a few months now, but aside from lunchtime caching walks in the CBD, I haven't been out and about too much. With the wife overseas for a few weeks, I thought I'd take the opportunity to visit some caching hotspots along my trainline and see a bit more of the city in the process.

I approached GZ at the same time as a bunch of joggers. While they took their time to vacate the area I checked out the likely spaces from the bus stop - fortunately they were too busy to notice that the bus route is out of service. When they finally left I'd scoped out the most likely hiding spot, and had it in hand quick smart. Thanks for placing!

A quick train trip from the city at lunchtime to find this one. Unfortunately, I didn't factor in the rain that was starting to fall as I approached gz. Hopefully I can make it back to the station before it gets too heavy.

Sailing from Melbourne and stopping at cyc on the way north. Took the opportunity to pick up a few caches.

A quick find, thanks.

Saw some great wedding cars, a old Daimler and a 1963 Bentley. TFTC Bonaccordians .

A quick and easy find. Cache is in good shape but log is a little rstty. Tftc

Thanks!

Nice and easy find. Log is looking super tattered though!

Found thus one pretty easily with the hint after a football game at rushcutter's bay. #22 streak day #5

Cute spot

Good coordinates!

Good park and grab

That's quite a steep hill we walked up to get here. This is a lovely part of Sydney. Thanks for bringing us here and for the exercise tftc

I pass this area at least once a week, so its always good to find a cache in a familiar area.

I went to this cache with a friend and we found this cache easy.
TFTC

Really easy, quick find. Needs a smaller Logbook.

Quick park-n-grab on a sunny sunday afternoon, TFTC BC

Got it

The only thing that could have been was the best thing to use.

A day off between courses and I chose to go for a ride to the South Head. Collecting caches along the way. Cheers

#5188# I found it during nice afternoon walk around city. This cache was very easy to find. Thanks a lot.

Got it. Easy to do at night

Not what I was expecting!! The name throws you off

Nice easy one

Not where I thought it would be!

Went for an evening stroll so we made a little detour. TFTC.

Quick find although I didn't expect it to be where it was--in the US I think this wouldn't be an allowed hide. Oh well. I'm having a really nice caching day and if I actually lived here, might be tempted to try ringing those bells. I will definitely have to try to hear them some day. TFTC!

Very nice church! TFTC!

TTFC, nice location - quick find once we found the right spot. Super stealthiness required when christians are getting married

I hate getting logs out of these caches. Love the church tho, great big ol gothic buildings r awesome bring back gothic architecture !

Great old church. Quick find.Tftc

Took me a while!
Haha

Glad to post this log. A beautiful view of the church floodlit after dark. I found this GC quickly on my way home from a Twilight Sailing Race out of Rushcutters Bay.

First find of the year! With the carters. TFTC!

Found with Carneeki
