cache checked

Time to let go caches I can't maintain

Farewell buddy! See u in the cache's heaven

Any new developments?

15:35 stopped by with the requisite tool to check this, as the provided tool was not present last time I was nearby. The container is definitely gone.

Too many muggles to have a good look. Pedestrian peak hour. Will try again soon

We took a flashed photo but looks empty... :/

No tool

Need to go and check after so many DNF

Brought own tool, still MIA. Owner please check!

Brought my own tool to no avail, it's fairly likely this cache is MIA.

Multiple DNF. Can owner please check

I found the place where the cache should be, but no tool

Seems the magic tool is gone. Would have been good to claim this tricky cache - but alas.

Great hide, I think? I even had the correct tool in the car nearby, but no options to extend it long enough to get the cache. Hopefully the tool is back again next time or I will be better prepared.

Interesting location. Unfortunately the tool was missing so we were unable to grab the cache. Thanks.

Passing the area thought I would have a look for this one. As noted I found the tool was missing so was unable to retrieve. Took a pic which seems to show the cache in situ (cant be 100%) sure. Having a bad run with yours lately!

Near my work and closes university to my work

Found where the cache would be hidden... but without the appropriate tool, it was out of reach, so now log tonight.

Tool was missing but claiming anyway! Awesome hide and great hint. Tftc

I knew I was going to be in the area tonight to attend my daughters graduation. So after reading previous logs at home, I made sure I had my own TOTT with me as the one provided seems to have gone missing. I also did a bit of investigation via Google Earth and was pretty sure I could arrived at GZ and perform the necessary without arousing suspicion.

Upon arrival I spotted the location fairly quickly and did an inspection and then used my TOTT, not once, but a number of times. Arrgh the container must be stuck of something like that. In the end I gave up and took a number of photos to send to the CO. The CO got back to me and must have taken pity on me because he has graciuosly allowed me to log as a find.

After all that I would like to say I enjoyed checking out this unusual building and thats what this cache is all about

Thanks for the cache 2qt2bstr818.

Got to go back with a tool. Picture hint helped

Great building. Tool is missing, had a look down the hole but didn't have anything to retrieve. Thanks for bringing us here and TFTC

Tftc. Found cache but tool is missing so unable to retrieve log. Not signed but claiming anyway.

Failed my first one i don’t think its there anymore

Might be removed by muggles.

I am in Sydney for just over a week to attend the 19th International Microscopy Conference, where I am chairing a session. However, in view of the long travel time and the many time zones (eight!) that I crossed in getting here, I decided to arrive a day early. So I arrived yesterday (but didn’t get around to caching due to the heavy rain late afternoon and in the evening) and that means that apart from registering for the conference and fetching the bag with commercial documentation that always come with a conference early this morning I have no obligations but to myself. So I walk, try for some caches, walk some more, have lunch, visit a bookshop, walk some more, try for some more caches. As usual in a new caching territory I find only about half the caches I try for, but I find the one that fills a missing placed month and I find a multi and a virtual so I think it has been a productive caching day.

I am sure I found the red zone, but my own fairly strong tool failed to get something out. I hope it isn’t missing.

Caching in the morning. Was a little search to find...T4T$ FF5

Oh noooo! Didn’t find it and not sure if the mechanism is lost or we’re just completely daft

Tftc!

We had no luck here today, we found the cache and the technique was obvious but we couldnt find the extraction tool so we couldnt remove the cache.... Bummer

No muggles in sight

Tftc- at least the one and only cache in Australia
We reached it easy and it‘s nice done, thx

Found during a recent visit to Sydney. GPS was not too helpful but the photo and hint helped, a lot. Very ingenious hide and TFTC

Second on tonight's post-dinner stroll and with the necessary tool in hand, it wasn't long before I was signing the logbook at 21:45.

Nicely done and the combination of cache MO and backstory earns you a fave point from me.

TNLNSL, although a couple of our geocoins had a visit to mark the occasion. Thanks 2qt2bstr818.

First I didn't read the description. Only after I found the posdible hiding place, I read it and then it was matter of second to retrieve the cache

Happy to make this find after the DNF prior to this cavhe...

Another Sunday morning out with oldmorty. Must be a 2qt2bstr818 day, having already found 3 this morning (including a FTF). Oldmorty and I ended up in circles. Stairs everywhere, leading off in all directions. Oldmorty spotted it! I knew what I had to do and found a tool to use and we soon had CIH. Thanks for the great caches 2qt2bstr818

Creative hide! Found it quickly and signed. Tftc!

Another early Sunday morning OCW with frazeydaze. We thought this would be a good time to tackle the CO's two fashion caches when the majority of the locals would be still in bed catching up on their shut eye. After completing these caches and few other caches we reached here where our iphones had us running around in circles and up stairs and downstairs in frazeydaze's case. Eventually the clever in your face cache was located together with the necessary tool. Frazeydaze did the honours and we soon on our way again. TFYC

Awesome cache! Thanks for the photo hint

Brilliant cache. I have not seen one like this before. A fav point for me beside a pretty amazing building.

Great cache!!! I love it! Took me a bit of a while and luckily, the red magnet was still there! Tftc, Eric.

We found the tool and what we thought was the cache hiding spot. We carefully tried it, and it worked. Bewdy Newc. Deserves a fav point. TFTC

Tftc

Found with IamCoust

Found with The Matetrix. After stuffing ourselves in Chinatown needed to work off those honey prawns. Great design, this one should last. Favourite added. TNLNSL TFTC

Having an overnight stop before our flight out and decided to head into town, hadn't researched any of the caches but wow did we strike it lucky getting a very well executed cache in an urban area. A fav from us, thanks for making our day. Tftc

TFTC!!! Nice mechanism!

Such a great cache! Found it alongside Mr.Blue. Lots of fun.

Got it! Tried a few days ago but couldn't seem to get it, even though I was looking in the right place. Great cache I like things like this! Thanks for placing.

Wow what a nicely thought out city cache! Found this one with hazelfrankie. Thanks for making such an effort. Definitely leaving a FP!

TFTC! Great mechanism! Never would of found it with out the spoiler photo.

Well thought out and a joy to retrieve Cache is in good condition.

Excellent hide. Took some thinking. TFTC and worth a Love Point

So very clever! Thanks for the hint.

Very cool cache took me a while to locate everything but got it in the end. Super for an urban hide TFTC

That was fun thank you!

cashe in good condition. log a bit worn still room for more entries.

Neat little setup. Might have to pinch the idea. Had to wait for a break in the muddles but otherwise a quick find. Tftc. Wassa

Great cache in a busy spot. FP awarded for this one

Found it.

An excellent cache. At this time of night 4:53 I had to wait a bit for the muggle traffic to disperse before I could make the grab. Log book appears to be burnt on one side.

TFTC.

Had a look at the building on my way to GZ, I haven’t been here before.
Wasn’t sure what level I was going to have to be on but luckily guessed right the first time.
Saw the tool first, looked around and spotted where the cache should be. Retrieved it easily but had to wait for a couple of muggles to pass before replacing.

SL TFTC
Awarding a favourite point.

Very impressive mecanism! And my first cash in australia thanks

Awesome hide!! Over from Perth for Vivid.
Left an extag
Thanks for the hide

I was over in Sydney, visiting from Auckland for a long weekend and came across this cache in my travels. Soon had the magnet in hand, then picked a good moment (when there weren't as many muggles around) to retrieve the cache, which was a quick and easy retrieval. Signed the log and replaced as found. Cool hide, favourite point added! TFTC!

Very clever! And what an intriguing building too.

Thanks for the spoiler photo, it helped to orient me, as much as anything. And I was able to make an enjoyable, and stealthy retrieval between muggle groups

Wow! One of the coolest caches I've found! Had to wait til the wee hours for it to be quiet enough to obtsin though! TFTC

Just too many people to poke the magnet around in broad daylight

One of the best city caches I've done since i was in Auckland 2 years ago. Area was a bit dank but a very clever cache. TFTC!!! #1349

Very cool cache
TFTC

Genius hide! Not many muggles on a Sunday morning which allowed us to fumble around a bit but got it in the end. TFTC

Found with Geosnag1 on a weekend escape for his running. Loved this one. So clever.

Great idea. Nice find. Thanks

#4575- My last of three caches in the city prior to heading off to the final performance of Mamma Mia at the Capital city.
At first I spotted where I thought I needed to be, but I was on too high a level. From there I sawv something else which matched the description. It took a few minutes to spot the tool and then it was quicck to retrieve. Such a clever and inconspicuous cache across from the paparazzi bag building.
Thoroughly enjoyed this one- a favourite point from me. Thanks

It was a bit smelly here, but it was an interesting style of retrieval. TFTC

Ms S (my Mum) found this cache. It was very interesting. TFTC

Very cool hide!!

We love this quirky modern building. What a great hide: so exposed but unnoticable unless you're searching. The clever hide and tool nearby were fantastic. Had to read a few logs to home in on GZ. A police car was parked nearby but they were facing away and not looking. Phew! All good with the cache and log.
Thanks for the background on the building and the great cache 2qt2bstr818.

Oh man that’s so coool. Such a nice change from the classic mint tin find that you expect from a inner city cache. Went to this one after school and had the cih as well as a big ol grin on my face. TFTC

Down in Sydney for an annual conference, and as is my tradition now I am out an about on the town tonight. And collecting a few finds. Got a bit cultural tonight between Spain, Old England, China and Thailand. Next stop though was here for some architecture. In the dark I saw the building in different lights which was pretty cool. Then I set about to finding this cache. Thought it would be a lot harder, but it kinda sits out there to a cacher's eyes. That is pretty awesome "camo". And my thanks for the tool - hey presto - ping!!, cache in hand. How cool is that? Muchos enjoyas

Thanks for placing this cache, 2qt2bstr818. Found in good condition. Have a FP for the ingenuity!
*{Overall find #5714}*

A craker of a cache- one of the best I have done in some time. I liked how it all fitted together, the spot, the special tool and retrieval. Afterwards we went through the nearby markets on the way to the Powerhouse- and the kids liked the interesting building too! TFTC!

Interesting building and great cache, deserves (yet another) favourite point. TFTC

Once we got to GZ things went very smoothly and quite promptly we had the cache in hand. I admired the brazenness of this CBD hide and the cleverness of the set-up. Gets a fave point from me.
I visited here with team cacher zboy wonder.
TFTC and the accompanying perspective (and information) on a building that I would probably not otherwise have learned about. I always enjoy learning about things like this.
The Turtle strikes again!

Clever! Fortunately it was pretty quiet at GZ when we visited, TFTC

TFTC

took us a while to find the tool but we found it!

Great Cache! Such a fun hide! -RCE

Great cache. Bring pen

On a cache run around Darling Harbour today with JJCC. Took several attempts walking around the building, but on our second clockwise walk across the bridge our vantage point was changed and GZ was spotted. Even though lots of muggles about, timing enabled us to make a quick retrieve with the provided tool. After signing the log we replaced as found. Both the container and log are in good condition. Thanks for the cache 2qt2bstr818.

The following TBs came through for the mileage: Bob geoMinion, Dave geoMinion, Evil geoMinion, Jerry geoMinion, Larry geoMinion, Mary Hyde's Treasure, Stuart geoMinion, teamMerlin's 7 Deadly Ducks Tag (Lust), Vanlith The Youngling, Team Han Solo, Travel Bug Dog Tag, Troop 77 Boba Fett Travel Bug and Travel Bug Dog Tag.

We were strolling down to grab some food at the Fish Markets, so took a slightly odd route through Uni to make this grab.

A very clever hide which had the kids more engaged than usual

TFTC

This one was fun to get out.
The tool was still in place and worked fine once I got the connection right.
I think muggles must like watching cachers getting to this one.
My GPS was playing up again due to the buildings, but the photo helped.
Must give this a Favourite as it was great to get the cache out.
TFTC

We've found this nice cache after walking in the city
Thank you
Team sissifalke

Complete fluke that I found this. Relied completely on geosenses as GPS had me elsewhere. Thanks from Canada .

Very nice idea. The log sheet had a burnt edge. GPS bounced around a bit. Looked around and eventually spotted something that we had seen in a log photo.
TFTC. The 4Rods.

My first eve Geocache find

Found it

This one was veryyy fun!

M N D J

probably the coolest cache we’ve found today!

Very neat

This one had me in a spin before realising where I needed to be.
Spied it from a distance then looked for the tool. The tool is 1.2m up but it’s there wrapped in red electrical tape.
Giving it a neat fav for the effort and placement, awesome 2qt2brstr818
