In the area for a corporate event I popped by and made the find.

Is that bad form?! I will read up on this.
I love steam power - best of all the powers.

#3/5 of today afternoon stroll from chinese town through Darling Harbour and along the Pyrmont waterfronts. the Easter has already started and it was pretty hot too making the city so muggleless.
Listing is talking about a busy place. i didn't see a single person around, except one guy at nearby balcony. He could see me at the cache.

On a caching spree of Pyrmont with Entdeckerchildkrote & JordsAU, found the container on the ground without the attached magnet. Thanks for the quick one Team MavEtJu
Before heading home after a nice weekend with friends, we decided to grab a few caches together.
Good thing we were here on the weekend, I suspect this would have been a harder find during the week with googlers and other muggles.
Found cache, did the signing duties and returned cache to it's home.

After a lovely evening in the city, we grabbed a few caches before heading home.
This is not a cache that I would go hunting for during the week, lots of Googlers and residents hanging around making this a difficult find.
Found the cache, performed the signing duties and returned as found.

After staying in the Star for a weekend out, we decided to see what caches were about
An easy find on a Sunday morning. Not sure how easy this would have been during the week
Found cache, completed signing duties
A beautiful place for a hide TFTC

Spurred on by a previous cacher, we trundled through, finding out very quickly that not all MTCs are magnetized. Nevertheless the log was assessed and signed, and we placed the cache in a better, more hidden position given its handicap. Being in direct view of someone’s living room probably didn’t help.
Thanks for the cache!
Found with Foreignnebula in the blazing summer sun!

Found with ReverseG as our brains were melting in the summer sun. Signed the log and attempted to reattach but the magnets don't seem to stick any more. Hidden in a better area away from prying eyes and nosey neighbours.
Once again did not have a pen to put my name on the log!! But found fairly quickly
First cache today. Took the ferry to Barangaroo then walking back to Abbotsford. This cache was on the way. TFTC
Walked over from Darling Harbor during work morning. Magnet doesn’t attach anymore. Found it on ground. TFTC
While in line for Book of Mormon discounted tix on a Monday..i was bored af.. checked GC and lo and behold! A cache is nearby.. walked out of the line for a while and started the search.. i found a metal box in vicinity but nil mint can.. i looked towards the ground nearby and there it was on the asphalt for muggles to see... I signed i hid it back under the metal box on the ground. It is not magnetic so i covered it with dead leaves for camo..
Doing one wharf after the other there’s quite a number of Caches coming our way ...
We were in Sydney Australia for two days on Holland Americas Amsterdam.
On Day #1, we had the time in the morning to find three caches in The Rocks area before starting to do the "Sydney Bridge Climb". What a great experience that was!
On Day #2, we geocached most of the day in the Darling Harbour area. We were able to find 7 caches, but had 5 DNFs. We think three of them are gone, but will check with the COs to see. We put them on our Watch List to see what happens with them going forward.
Thank you to each of the COs for their efforts and for the 10 caches we did get.

In Sydney for work and staying in a different location so i got to wonder around a new area and find a few caches. I wasn't sure if i could still get to GZ as i could see construction. however there is still a path to allow access. Quick find once i arrived. TFTC

Early morning caching is cool, coz less muggles are expected.. this seemed to be a fairly easy find on a quiet morning

Having enjoyed the Helensburgh series by MavEtJu just after Christmas, we looked forward to searching for this one on our trip to Sydney. We are here for a couple of days for work, and after a long day in the office, decided to stretch our legs with a walk. We found the container with no problem, and enjoyed the nearby history and art works.
Thanks for another!

Ginormous geogrins galore! This is the first geocache I've found in Australia! I'm soooo happy right now! While I wanted to attend an event in Australia on Australia Day (and earn the souvenir), I had to work today and couldn't find an event close enough that worked with my schedule. Sadness. But the only thing better than attending a geocaching event is finding a geocache! And that's precisely what I decided to do. \o/
GZ for this one happens to be right near my office, so this was a super quick find for me - and with no muggles about, I made the grab, signed the log and put the cache back with ease.
Oh I'm too happy to have found a geocache in Australia on Australia Day!
TFTC and the grins!

What a fantastic way to celebrate the 26th of January. CACHING.
Through the week I picked an area and made my plans. I packed sandwiches and heaps of water.
I drove to Hawthorn and for the 1st time I caught the light rail. I have never been on it before. Easy and quick. I got off at John St station and then I was off. My aim was 1 mystery, 2 multis and some traditional.
This was an amazing area thanks for bringing me here.
Thank for placing and maintaining the cache.

#7828 - 21:50; In Sydney for a few days with the geohoney and some interstate in-laws and decided to have a wander at the end of a long day sitting and driving, so headed out towards this cache. Once at GZ, I homed in pretty quickly and soon had the cache in hand and the log signed. TFTC Team MavEtJu
This cache lead me on a nice walk out onto Darling Island. The hint made it quick to find.
was getting on a ferry to head to many for a festival, with 10 mins until the ferry comes i started sprinting to find this cache, cool hide and just made it back in time for ferry.
This one was a pretty easy find with the hint. The Little Westredau tried pulling it off. Had to tell her to "just feel around".
Thanks for the cache.

First Sydney and first Australia cache! Was concerned about the construction, but the cache is fine. Might need a new log soon. TFTC
I had a wondful walk through Sydney this day. During this I found some really nice caches.

Easy find. Sat in the shade on the edge of the water to sign the log. TFTC MavEtJu
A quick find for frazeydaze while I sat down on log wondering how much it would cost to purchase one of the super yachts in front of me. TFTC MavEtju
The R of Team RNKBerlin in Sydney on a business trip. Thankfully, more than just a quick in-and-out-again business trip. We were fully equipped for two days of offline caching, thanks to [GSAK](http://gsak.net/), [GDAK](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nl.wlsoft.tfnxDroid&hl=en) and OSM for [Garmin](http://garmin.openstreetmap.nl/) and [Android](http://download.mapsforge.org/maps/australia-oceania/).
Another nice area of this exremely nice city. We loved it. The cache was easy to find, for which many thanks.
And thus we found this cache, our find number 3239, on 31.10.2017 at 14:34:00. We would like to thank Team MavEtJu for placing and maintaining it.

Nice quick find thanks to the excellent coords and hint. The container was visible as I approached GZ. Looks like a nice neighbourhood!
Have time to find a few small caches while visiting Sydney for a conference! Tftc
Quick spotted with help (Hint) instead of stress.. signed the log with ozuk. Thanks for cache and hunt. Interesting about history/story.

The hint is very instructive and the cache is clearly visibly from quite a long distance so here it was without any problem. Greetings from the Czech Republic and thanks for the cache!

Day 12 (the last day) in Australia: chill at the "other side" of Darling harbor, Ultimo and Glebe areas of Sydney.
Surprising that cache is still there as visible while approaching and the box under which it is hidden is open and seems that will be worked on in coming days.

First day of my short holiday. A warm-up walking started from Jubilee park and ended at Opera house. Some caches and ... lots of candies! Super productive day!
The cache: a quick found! Thanks for hiding this cache here!

Found this one together with DoriSingha and Catty0902. Thank you for this bit of information and the cache!
As I approached the GZ I thought this might be tricky, but it was a very quick find. Thanks!
I was out and about and found myself close to this cache so decided to take a look. Parked the car nearby and then headed over towards GZ. The hint was very helpful and so I spotted the very obvious cache from some distance away. I grabbed the cache while muggles weren't looking, signed the log, and then tried to replace it in a less obvious position. TFTC
Thanks Team MavEtju for the history lesson (there is so much more to read on the information signs scattered around the vicinity) and for bringing us here for a pleasant Sunday stroll on a beautiful sunny day. The cache was a quick, unobserved, easy find.
Our last find during our lunchtime walk around this part of the city. A pretty brazen hide that was a very easy find, although we did walk away to a nearby spot to sit down and sign the log in order to avoid looking suspicious TNLNSL TFTC
I work near here and walk past the propellers often. Great to find out a bit of the history.
Nice quick find. The cache is in plain view but I was stealthy on an evening cache hunt. TFTC.
