2qt2bstr818 I didn’t find your cache Gay and Lesbian Holocaust Memorial on 6/10/18, 3:27 pm. Nope, not today.
Searched for awhile in the night but some questions from suspicio uhhh s cops made me give up.
Found while waiting for my boyfriend to get a Bronchoscopy 1 week prior to lung transplant TFTC
I’ve been here so many times and hadn’t realised this memorial was here. Fascinating
Last cache of the day, close to St Vincents hospital. A memorial to one of the darker periods of the 20th century.
TFTC.

On a previous search I located the cache but muggles prevented me retrieving it. Early this morning muggles were not a problem.
Love your work 2qt2. Nice hide. The best ribbon role idea I seen. Wonderful spot, wish I was here in daylight to see it. Off on a evening cache expedition. TFTC
I often drive along Darlinghurst Road and glance over at this mememorial knowing there's a cache here but its always so busy along the road and never anywhere to park and often the park is crowded so I always think next time.
Today however there were several free parking spots just past the park so I pulled up as soon as I could and left the geomobile and walked back to Green Park. It is very green considering the lack of recent rain. It was also almost deserted so the cache was an easy find.
I signed the log, which end? It seems to have been used from both ends.
There mememorial seems to have faded a lot since its placement. There is no information plaque, well I couldn't see one, so probably most people who pass here don't even know what it is.
TFTC - a bonus find for today!

No problem finding this one. Monument is rather faded so difficult to know exactly what it's for without this cache, could use a bit of TLC. SL TFTC 2qt2bstr818!
Unfortunately, I didn't get a chance to find this geoache as I was strapped for time. However, I did walk through this park and stood at the Memorial for a long time. It brought tears to my eyes and I felt an overwhelming sense of emotion, especially sadness. Having a cache here is special in a way, just bringing people to this place, showing them this area and viewing the amazing artwork. Thank you for placing the cache, I'm sure I'll get it one day, I want to bring my family here (who are queer, including myself) and show them this amazing place. Just thank you.
#225 - another late log, as this was the product of three of us throwing up our hands in frustration and walking out of the office for the afternoon. A lovely break in what was an awful day for our marketing and IT departments! TFTC
Was very interesting to see, has a whole lot of history and heartbreak tied into it. Beautiful monument.
After visiting a friend in St Vinnies I grabbed this on my way back to the car. Thanks, very interesting.
Out caching with oldmorty on a sunny Sydney Sunday morning.
Lots of parking here on a Sunday morning. A very interesting memorial. Quick easy find by oldmorty (a good thing as he'd been here several times before) TFTC 2qt2bstr818

OCW frazydaze. The plan being to visit a number of this CO's caches; some new some a bit older. The first four by car and then a bus down to Circular Quay for another two in the vicinity of the Opera House. Third cache of the day and this was my third visit here but only frazeydaze's first. So pleased to at last have a smiley here. TFTC 2qt2bstr818.
Another one by the CO while heading to the new one not far away. Used the hint and had CIH, though fat fingers stopped me from extracting it immediately. Nice park. TFTC
Was in the area for the Spanish Film Festival so my boyfriend and I decided we’d make a detour

Wandering past on our GOM tour, we remarked about caches we'd found in this park years ago. PPE noticed there was a newer one so we detoured. He managed to finger this one as soon as we got there. Thanks again 2qt2bstr818.
Walked from Taylor Square mystery and couldn’t believe my luck as I placed my hand exactly on the hide. I can’t recall ever doing that but thank you for the placement 2qt2brstr818
Thanks for highlighting this interesting memorial. A quick find at GZ while dodging muggles. Thanks 2qt2bstr818.
Spoiler really helped and we had succesfull finding. Thank you for showing us this place, did not know. Found it together with 55Luksa55.

Quick find during an excursion lunchbreak. Werent too many places it could have been so cih very quickly. Tftc
Friday of our holiday was caching around downtown Sydney, Harbour Bridge, and the Opera House. We'd solved some mysteries along the way, and all of those were successfully picked up as well. After enjoying the iconic structures from a far, it was a pleasure to have a more leisurely time viewing them up close, especially on a clear and sunny day. Once again, thanks to all cache owners for setting up and maintaining the hides, and bringing us to some places that tourists might not usually get to. Individual remarks on caches follow the line.

Started our journey here after breakfast at Bill's nearby. Made short work of this cache, with a bit of time built in to reflect on the monument. Thanks for bringing us here.

#2 in a string of finds today with Trodectus and Bikebearau. Arrived GZ and T quickly had CIH. Log signed and returned. TFTC
Found with Coybear2000 and Bikebearau. We walked from a nearby and once at GZ we started our search. Soon had CIH. TFTC.
This was my second find of the day while waiting for the train to Melbourne. The cache was nice and easy AFTER a musician strumming a tiny electric instrument packed up his bicycle and departed. Until then I had zero problems enjoying a nearby park bench and people-watching. Thanks for a relaxing (but thought-provoking) smilie.
Found during a few days visit to Sydney before cruising to New Zealand. More like under! Interesting monument. Greetings from Hordle Hampshire England. TFTC
For calendar day 239 I found myself at this memorial. Lots of exceptional services around this part of Sydney, helping people from all over the place.
Nice little cache and all in good condition.
Thanks 2qt2bstr818

#4700 (3 of 3 today)
Day 4 of the Ashes Test at the SCG.
We are in a great position and looking to put a foot on the English throats today.
Again in early to grab good seats, so out to grab the second pair of caches I'd left unfound near the ground so I could still up my find count on this calendar day.
Decided I had time to head for a third in an area I've made finds previously.
Only one of them caused me any real issues - and that was me not checking the obvious right next to my first search area. Grrrr...

Cache #4700!
Made a find or two here before. Knew the landmark for which I was heading.

First cache in New South Wales. It was an easy found at an interesting and important monument. Had to wait a few minutes as there was a guy with his bike near the cache but there are enough benches around to relax for a while.

Nice easy find - awesome container- sorry about green pencil- it’s all I had in my bag today - TNLN TFTC - so good to be reminded of this memorial
Nice cool park on a hot day like today. Needed to wait a few minutes until muggles finished their lunch. I am happy that Gay marriage is now legal in Australia! Greetings a Dutchie visiting Australia
An easy find today but it's the first time in many visits that I've been able to look due to muggles. TFTC

I had a work celebration lunch, and decided to go for a walk afterwards to work off the lunch before a late work call. I arrived at the park a few minutes before the call, which was sufficient time to make the find. TNLNSL TFTC

Cool spot.Enjoyed the musem came here a few years back. As we pulled up to GZ we got a car spot pretty quickly and the lovely people leaving gave us there remaining parking ticket. Which was great. Found cache pretty quickly
I voted yes even though I don’t believe in marriage. Quick find. These places make me sad as just one of the many evils perpetrated by religion. Tftc
Nice to grab a few quick caches in Sydney in between conference sessions! This in good condition, all dried out. Tnln Tftc!
Unfortunately the memorial had to suffer under some rains I guess, the text wasn't in a good condition. But the container was well hidden and in a good one. It's important reminding of the past, making aware it won't repeat. Especially in a time, where a country has to vote for human rights and equality. As I am not Australian I can't speak for this country, but as you see in other areas of the world, which had to make the same choice in the past months, those who vote NO seem to get louder and even more aggressive during that time. So all I hope is that love wins, I'd vote YES!

I was partially confused by the hint but partially helped me to locate the cache. Greetings from the Czech Republic and thanks for the cache!

Walked over this way to get a few misses and tried to add this one on. Some wary muggles right near the cache made looking at where I think the cache may be impossible. Will be back to see if I can get a smiley another time with hopefully less muggles.
Found it on the way from St. Vincents Hospital back to the hotel.
Thanks for the cache!
