In the area for work and couldn't pass this one up. Reminded me of a similar cache I found in Munich with sharanyaexpress.

This was a great spot! Had a lot of fun trying to find this one

Headed into Sydney for a friends birthday dinner. Thought I'd go earlier to find some caches.
The area looked familiar as if i had looked for this one before and not found it. Glad i did this time.
Thanks for the cache.
 
31-Mar-17
I needed to head up towards the city today so I took the opportunity to grab a few caches as I headed in both directions.
There is so much traffic that goes past here that no one took any notice of me seraching for this one.
Thanks for being a part of my fun day. Smile

This is more difficult at night as it took me a few minutes.

#6851 Arrived to Australia for three days ago, I and Rokkan will take some caches in Australia.
This weekend did we fly to Sydney. Our goal was to find the oldest cache in Australia. But of course did we logg some more caches in the city. Now is the temperatur over 50 degrees. I supose that it is only crasy Swedish cacher who is out caching now. Thanks for the cache and greetings from Sweden.

Turning out to be a good day. Another easy find

A quick find, early in the morning. TFTC RMS

I was up and about early, with a bit of time to spare before some rendevous in the inner-west. So how better to spend this time but by finishing off all the unfound active caches by some longstanding caching buddies Rinsemesocks and Bells Angels?

This find took the longest of the morning, the issue was that it could have been a number of places, and I looked in all of those first. Found using my eyes instead of my hands. So once again I can say my collection of Rinsemesocks caches is complete! I must be in the 90s now. But the word on the grapevine is that the "RMS all completed" status will unravel in the next few weeks.

Always nice to see a good mate's name as you sign the log.

A nice easy find here in this very busy spot.

Today's tour was to start here, I was very pleased to find out the next geocache was so close to the trainstation. Traffic was heavy, nevertheless I quickly grabbed the container, logged my find, and replaced it - hopefully unseen by the many muggles passing by on the road.
Thanks for the hide, rinsemesocks!

A quick cache in a regular haunt

2nd time lucky. Thanks for the cache. Lots of muggles around here at this time of the day. School is out and there are kids everywhere.
 
26-Aug-16
Another in the large series down today. Took me a minute at this busy spot but I got there in the end. TFTC!

First cache of the weekend - nice, sunny day for it !! Coordinates spot on and soon had CIH. Left an additional log book. SL; TFTC

Very busy spot. Cars, cars and more cars. Stood back and observed and noticed what could have been the cache. Very clever little Hide. Tftc
 
25-Jul-16
TFTC!!! No pen so I took pic, little tricky at first but got it on my second sweep of GZ.
 
11-Jul-16
Out very late as I have a meeting tonight.
I was hoping to grab a few but it took almost an hour just to get to my first target - a DNF.

As a result it was just the one find, by Geotorchlight, and then a relatively quick drive back to my meeting.
###END OF CUT AND PASTE SECTION###
Parked in the nearby carpark and got to GZ. The cache location seemed pretty obvious, but nothing was spotted - and trying not to look strange with so many passing cars and train commuters didn't help.
Gave it up and went to a hopefully easier target.

Ah ha! Found this little faux-troll. TFTC RMS
 
16-Jun-16
I had to searched in between muggles walking past. I turned it up in a place that I had tried early on when I first arrived, but obviously not well enough!

Beaten by the M T. So busy with cars and walking muggles.

First find

This damn mint tin has been teasing me from the moment it was published. Firstly, I was interstate when it was published and I would have been able to grab an FTF here with ease under normal circumstances (but the stuff I found in VIC was good too, so I'm over it now). Then I thought I'd come by in the evening between taxi services, and although I had a good idea where RMS would place a hide, nothing fell into my hands. And then I repeated that same thing again a week later... for real? It's a stooopid mint tin! So today I decided was the day, even though it was a high muggle time, I had my enthusiastic geodog as a helper. Spent time walking around in circles yet again and walked away cursing once more. Grrr! But then on my way back I decided it HAD to be in the first spot I looked all those weeks before. Again using the geodog as my decoy, it was only once I had "literally" tied my shoelaces that I looked over and thought "you've gotta be kidding". Hate being outsmarted by a mint tin, but I got it in the end! Thanks rinsemesocks, looking forward to the next troll to appear soon.

I dreaded where the arrow wanted me as I drove past looking for a place to park.
I need not have worried as I flukes a quick find here. Unsure why I placed my hand there first but I'll take that, thanks rinsemesocks
 
18-May-16
Middle of the day, so schools in and workers are in. Only a few muggles walked by.

I as in Kingsgrove meeting with friends - needed to stretch my legs and what better way than to find a couple of caches within a kilometre of where we were. This was an easy find, lots of traffic but no muggles walking by so a quick grab, signed the log and placed it back. Thanks rinsemesocks
 
01-May-16
This is always a very busy intersection It took a while to grab between light changes and train arrivals.

It was hard to search with all the passing traffic. The signal had me at the expected area but it was only when I had a sneaky feel that I realized what country the yanks think we live in.

Another Troll find. I've lost count of how many I have found now. Easy park, walk to bridge and after a little checking around, grab. Signed the "log" that others before me have used as many muggles passed by. TFTC and your ongoing Troll series rinsemesocks. I think there is another new one still to do. #549.

20/4/16. 11:42 AM. Cache #3744. Streak day #1 (just kidding!)
1st of 5 finds (plus a DNF) today - Kingsgrove, Canterbury, Summer Hill, Bardwell Park, East Lindfield & Lindfield.

My first day back caching after a self imposed 1-day exile, which followed my big 666-day streak. My original plan was to pick up two of Sunday's new caches around the inner west, plus the three new ones at The Rocks and then would see after that. But a bunch of new publishes today had me on the FTF hunt, which meant my route today was all over the place.

I started off at this one, parked off a nearby side street and walked up. At first I was looking too close towards being above the railway line before realising that I should probably come down the hill a bit. Then my search of the obvious item was interrupted by bunches of muggles walking past. Finally I saw a glimpse of it in a spot I hadn't thought of and made the grab. Signed, replaced, and headed off to start the multi "The Rio". TFTC.

Have a house full of kids but chucked them in the car in various states if un/dress to get here. Cache was empty (am I first?) so wrote on a piece of paper my name/time/date.
