Saw the pic from a previous log so we knew what we were looking for but no luck for us at this one today 
Will wait to see if anyone else finds it - otherwise might be worth a maintenance check?

I too have fond memories of this place, spending hours fishing off the wall with that amazing backdrop. Something i see is no longer permitted. TFTC and bringing me back here.
My first cache in Australia ... beautiful Sydney.

Friday. Mr SP was in Sydney to house sit for his daughter for the week. This is the day before I leave. Targeting some random ones on or near the Eastern shores today.
Stop Number One of my random meandering. Once I drove around and finally found a place to park, I had a short walk to the park entrance. Down I went, marvelling at the engineering work part way down (image attached). When I got to the park, I can imagine your teenage gatherings among the salubrious accomodations. The co-ords were spot on and the cache was signed and replaced in short order.
What's that? I have to go back UP THERE?
This was the 1st of 6 caches found on today's trip.
Thanks ***A_Very_Strange_Fox***, for showing us this place.

I haven't been able to do much geocaching lately as I've had a serious knee problem. Its improving and this is a D2 T1.5 and logs indicate there's parking very close so it should be right for me.
Yeah right........97 steps down and 97 back, one step at a time as only one knee bends.
There were a few seats along the way and I could see the harbour so it looked inviting so slow as I was I continued onward. Finally I reached the park, WOW, great view!!!
Worth the effort. The cache was an easy find and luckily I had a tool to help with retrieval. I sat on the nearby seat to sign the log and enjoy the view while the good knee recouperated for the return hike. There were plenty of small yachts already out for Friday afternoon races. Shame it wasn't a sunny afternoon.

Nice to be out making a find today and after this adventure I feel encouraged that my knee will hold out for more!

Such a pleasure to find this cache on a sunny Sydney Winter day, watching yachts sail past. ? TFTC

Ducked out at lunch time for a quick cache. I was actually in for a surprise! What a wonderful park with a stunning view!!! I'm so glad you hid a Geocache here!!!
I found the cache really easily coz of accurate coords..but wasn't sure if I should touch unknown wasteland items!

Took a slight deviation from my normal route home from work this afternoon, going via Rushcutters bay and Point Piper, to grab the next waypoint of a world wide multi-cache and to also have a look at a few Traditionals in the area. This was the 2nd of 3 finds, and 1 waypoint, for the afternoon.
After finding "Piggy Oval" this one was my next cache stop. Parked the geomobile in Wolseley Road and then headed off down the steps to Duff Reserve and over to GZ.
Quickly uncovered the hide and, after a bit of a grapple, had CIH. TNLNSL, discovered a Trackable (it was just a piece of laminated paper), and then replaced as found.
It's an interesting little "hidden" reserve with some nice harbour views, so thanks A_Very_Strange_Fox for bringing me here, and TFTC.

A few muggles here at sunset but managed to find it as they all looked towards the view
13/7/17. 4:42 PM. Cache #5200.
3rd of 4 finds this afternoon - Botany, Moore Park, Point Piper, Woolwich
I came here after "Sydney Boundary Stone" and was glad to have made it here before sunset, though the shadows are getting long. Down the steps and there were a couple of muggles at the bottom level, though neither were right on GZ, so once I worked out where that was, I walked over and pretended to admire the view at first, to not draw any attention.
I had noticed something that looked like it was worth checking out, as it might possibly have been some outer camo. It was. I soon retrieved the cache and opened up. SL and discovered the coin inside (it can stay there). I replaced it all, then back upstairs and on to "Goat Paddock", which gets me back on track to getting home. TFTC.

Despite all the stairs Duff Reserve is a beautiful spot for a bit of navel gazing. I poked around among the teenage waste but came up empty handed. After PAF I realised I had looked there but not thoroughly enough. After SL I sat on the seat and admired the view for some time before retreating back up the stairs whereupon I found $2 on the PM's nature strip. Should I put it in his letterbox or keep it? TFTC A_Very_Strange_Fox.
A very beautiful hidden park......I'll definitely remember this one (and it's we'll know neighbour)
No sooner had I arrived when I was joint by a muggle. He took a few photos and left after about ten minutes, leaving me free to search.
I spent far too long fixated in completely the wrong thing and totally over looked the camo a few times but eventually out of frustration I moved it and was surprised to see the cache there.
A took a few snaps myself enjoyed the winter sunshine for a few minutes longer before heading home.

After lunch with a friend in the city, headed to The Neon Sign for a quick find. What to do now. Aha, a new published cache at Point Piper, where the PM lives. Headed over and down to the waters edge to find a lone girl enjoying the sunshine and on the phone. No way I could act my way out of this one. Just went on my search as odd as it looked. Im pretty sure this is Malcom's House next to this park. 15mins passed and Diadem appeared. Haven't seen you since yesterday, 35kms apart! He searched the same places I had whilst i re-read the log and saw a vital clue I had overlooked. Something I had spied and wondered why this was where it was and with some investigation, pulled the cache. TFTC and for the really cool little prize! (see pic)
JOINT FTF with **Diadem** 6/7/17 @ 1540.

Joint FTF with Morty8888. I had things to do when this cache was published. When I finished it was still unfound, so I headed this way and found a familiar face on the scene. We spent quite a while looking, and explained geocaching to a muggle. Finally Morty8888 located the geocache, where we both had looked before (but clearly not well enough).
