As asked by email a few weeks ago is there any news on the replacement of this cache.
Very sorry to all the people who have been trying to find it but haven't I will be replacing the cache today if I can thank you for your patience.
Had what I thought was a good look with no luck. The CO should DISABLE this until they can check it out. Maybe make it out of somehting less likely to be knocked off if it was a blue torch.
Possibly been taken i'll check it out by the end of this week if it's gone I'll disable it and try and replace it as fast as I can happy caching
Nope, nothing here today and I'm usually good with trolls as I'm very flexible and can escape their wily evils.

Quick and easy find before going to be in the audience for tonight's The Chaser Election show.
Quick and easy find before going to be in the audience for tonight's The Chaser Election show.
Found after a work event nearby, which was a nice pick-me-up as I was quite exhausted and not enjoying myself at the work event. TFTC!
#2988. Mmm, a few (4) metres out on the Garmin GPS 62S, but a bit of a read and it had to be there.... And the first spot looked while praying. Many thanks to the cache owner ***Lampshade102*** for establishing and maintaining this cache.
Nice park and facilities. Quick find without anyone around. Now off to look for one I could not find yesterday. TFTC.
I had planned to do some caches today.
But when I looked outside it was not as nice as I had expected.
I deceided to switch on the food network.
I watched the show from that guy eating strange types of food.
I watched him eating big fryed spiders. From own experience I can say they tast really good.
In the mean time the weather was changed and it looked much better outside.
After lunch I left the apartment in search of caches.
I had more luck today then a few days before.
I found almost every cache I looked for.
1 cache I spotted but I could not reach it as I was alone.
At 2 spots juggles didn't want to go.
I also visited a spot were I had found a cache 8 years ago. This cache is now archived but new aches were places close by.
All in all I enjoyed my search for caches today.
Thanks for the cache.

After a short reconnoiter I had an idea of the location. Had to hold back until a number of muggles left the area as is the cause with city caches. Soon had the CIH and took it aside to do the signing. Visited a TB. TFTC Lampshade102
My first find of the troll series! On my way to a meeting at Technology Park and couldn't resist the detour. Must try to find some of the others on my next visit to Sydney. TFTC
17:08 This cache looks like it'd still work, it's in good shape. Dry log, pencil exists(!!!). A photoshoot of some sort going on nearby featuring a guy standing on a wall with a soccerball.
Decided to do a bit of geocaching on my way home from work today, stopping off at the Australian Technology Park in Eveleigh. Parked the geomobile in Wyndham Street, and then walked up to GZ.
Arrived at the structure and, thanks to the very colourful & illuminating cache title & description, made a quick find. TNLNSL, and then replaced as found. Thanks Lampshade102 (even more illumination
) for the cache.

Beautiful weekend in the park and no muggle in sight. But creeped out a bit by that security camera. TFTC
Recently started work nearby. Popped out at lunch to find this one. Thank you for taking me to this park to which I will likely return in future lunchtimes.
On arrival at GZ, realised I had previously found another cache here years ago though this one was a quicker find due to size and clue.
Found today on way back to the office from a meeting. My first find on a long time as I just haven't had time. Very easy and quick find thank goodness!
I must be doing the same course as yesterday's cache finder. Thought I'd fill my lunch break with a quick walk and grab a few caches.
Nice quick easy find with this one.

Found it! 12.15pm. Had an Emergency & Evacuation course down here today and this cache was just 150metres from where I had my lunch so it had to be done. The hint made this quick and painless, which was what I needed today- thank you for the cache!!
TFTC,
My second visit to this location and there in a location I had checked last time was the container.
Visited trackables.

A bright January day after several wet ones saw me off to do a bit of caching. This brought me to the Eveleigh technology park where my father-in-law worked as a railwayman for many years.
An easy to find cache in a very interesting area. TFTC.

It was good to get back out caching after a week of wet weather. A quick and easy find; cache and log in good shape.
I will keep this container in mind for future hides as I have a few them at home. Tftc

An easy find in the likely of places.. a bit wet near the GZ as the area is designed to flood in the rain. it won't flood as high as the cache but in the wet weather it might be unattainable... but not this time 
If this had been published on a work day, I would have been a real chance of FTF, as my office overlooks GZ. I remember bumping into KRS a few times in the ATP, and I was thinking of teasing him for not finding this. But when I had a look the container stood out like the proverbial sore digitus pollex, so I am confident that it was certainly not in that position when he was here.
After Billy Goat Gruff was archived, I even hid a cache here myself, but it was muggled before it got published. After that, I was a bit discouraged and never got around to hiding another. Now I am glad, because I get to find another one here.
I hope it lasts - I think some of the kids from the local estate come here to smoke out of sight so it may be a good idea to conceal it a bit more. (It may have already moved from where it was placed.)

2nd of 2 today: Sans Souci -> Taren Point, Eveleigh
After getting my first multi for the year at "Have a Captain Cook!", this one was on my route home, and I definitely wanted to redeem my DNF from New Year's Day. The CO had put it back into its rightful place that day following my log, so it was an easy find this time; obviously I missed it before because it had been put back wrong by someone before me. Always glad to turn the blue face yellow. TFTC.

In response to a maintenance request I have checked the cache and it is still there, although someone did misplace it on leaving. Hopefully it's current position will be properly maintained.
Happy new year and happy caching!

1 DNF & 2 finds on a bright New Year's morning - Eveleigh, Middle Cove & Wahroonga.
Up early with no sore head and tried to clear a few of the newies that have been sprouting like crazy in my home 20km. This location I remember well, having found "Billy Goat Gruff" (GC22M1J) here in 2012, and bumping into EdF, who had just started working nearby.
Thoroughly inspected the entire structure, with torch beam, at least half a dozen times and still no sign of it. Hope it didn't fall over as the CO predicted might happen - probably needs checking. So my first find for 2016 went to the much worthier "Breakfast at Big Rock', where I headed next...

Found and *FTF* at 3:20 PM. Full log to follow. Thanks For The Cache Lampshade102 and congratulations on your first hide!
Temporarily written as a note but will change to a found log (once I finish catching up on my backlog of overdue logs).

Hey, I've never been to this park and I walk geodog everywhere around here...or so I thought. Thanks for bringing us here. Happy New Year! TFTC.
