Good Day,

This geocache was brought to my attention as being in need of an owner maintenance visit. The cache owner needs to check on this cache ASAP and either replace it or archive it, after picking up any geo-litter. See the [maintenance section of the Geocache Listing Requirements/Guidelines](http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#listingmaintenance).

I've added this cache to my watchlist, and I will check back in four weeks to be sure that the maintenance has been done. In the meantime, I have temporarily disabled this listing. When the maintenance is completed, the owner can enable the listing by clicking on the link below the cache name to return it to active status.

Whatever your intentions, please **post a note** here on the cache page (not email) to let us know that you are still active and maintaining the cache. If a month passes without seeing a response, then I'll assume that this listing should be archived.

Looking forward to hearing from you,

Lovely spot with a beautiful view, but unfortunately like previous loggers, I was unsuccessful in finding this cache, looks like GZ has been disturbed in recent times?
 
20-Aug-18
Given all the DNFs, it might be worth the CO to check this cache to make sure it's still there?

Had me searching in several places for at least 30 mins with no luck Sad

Bloodied and beaten. Unable to find the cache but a very nice park. We retreated to the restaurant on the marina for sustenance.

Walked down from hidden oasis, so relaxing, listening to the sounds of the harbour.
Quick find without being spiked, thanks cachem8

Den letzten Tag bummelten wir in der Nähe unseres Hotels herum und besuchten mehrere Caches. Den Kleinen haben wir schnell entdeckt. Aber das Zurücklegen war schwierig, da eine Muggelin genau dort Laub zusammenfegte. DFDC! Smile

Nice walk over here and liked looking at the fountain and the pond. GZ lies behind barriers but we crossed over anyway. We got stick like, well, stuck pigs. And still came up empty-handed. Did a bit of CITO and left a stick for the next searchers. Looks like there’s some frog research going on here so don’t disturb the location which is well-marked. Cheers... Gaztek

After not much success up the toad at the hidden Oasis, I came down to here to get my daily Geocache of the day. Initially coords were pointing to an area barricaded off, however, they were a little jumpy so I checked either side of the barricades. After turning up nothing, I made my way into no mans land where I made the find. Cache# 683 TFTC

Find #: 1,704
Companions: None
Muggles: A few
Weather: Muggy summer morning
Cache condition: Fine, although the pencil needs to be sharpened

I decided to go into work early and start with a jog, although the train disruptions meant I got in later than I had planned. I first found a nearby cache before heading across Potts Point to this park, which I had never visited before - nice views. There were some muggles having a picnic near GZ, but they didn't really seem to take much notice of me (jogging gear is good camo). It took a little while to figure out the specific object matching the hint, until I spotted the container. TNLNSL, thanks for the cache

We found it and but only after extensive searching well done!

Beautiful park! Found the cache quite quickly. The pencil was broken though, couldn’t sign. Will try come back with a replacement if I remember.

A young couple were basically having intimate relations about 10m from the cache in the warm sunshine. Fortunately this kept them distracted while I snuck around to make the grab...of the cache. Lovely park, cheers!

#4572 (3 of 3 today)

Busy day. Lunch in the city with fellow retirees and then the FFA Cup final tonight at the football stadium.
Between that a few other things to do, including grabbing a few caches.
Was hoping for four or five in the time I had, but only got three (with two DNFs). And I left some solved puzzles for another day...
###END OF CUT AND PASTE SECTION###
Sometimes muggles near GZ can be helpful.
In this case it forced me to sit and contemplate the likely hide for a few minutes. Had one thought but that was empty when I checked. My next thought though. Gotcha!

Sneaky and prickly.
Completed signing duties and replaced.
Took in the view for a little longer then time to head to the Footy Stadium.

After finding rushcutters bay cache closeby, raindoctor asked whether I'd like this cache too (of course duh) - someone's feeling guilty. Gee the people around this area have a nice view!

On a nice spring day, I couldn't resist getting out and sitting by the water. Having never been to this park, this cache drew me to it. Love this spot.
Looking for it, I found it in the second place I looked.

1/9/17. 11:31 AM. Cache #5273.
1st of 3 today - Elizabeth Bay, Dawes Point & Glebe.

Having knocked off for the day, I decided it was high time I got back into some post-work caching. This was as good a place to start as any, so I parked the truck up near the EB Road shops and wandered down to this lovely little park. with plenty of muggles out and about enjoying the sunshine.

Over to GZ and having checked the hint, there were a few possibilities that matched, so it might have taken me a while. I moved over somewhere to lean and have a think and then thought of where a good spot might be. Sure enough, a little poking around revealed this small small. I signed the log and replaced it, before heading on to my next target, "The Coathanger".

I thought this was a clever, sneaky little hide in a beautiful part of Sydney, so I reckon this one deserves a fave point. TFTC.

Happiness! Everything was ticked for the special day, and the last thing was a cache. Walked there with raindoctor and found the cache in dark:) A personal milestone was achieved today, so thanks for the cache as a part of my celebration!
Thanks raindoctor for the company Wink The best day for me!

Previously logged under team account BoogieRogue. Re-logging with my individual account. Phone wanted me to look in a different spot initially. So sat down and reconsidered the possibilities. After some deliberation we decided to look in another spot and bingo had CIH in no time. Took TB. TFTC

Accompanied oldmorty here after his dnf. He was looking far too hard and deep previously, this time nice and easy. TFTC.

After a FTNF on Friday in the blustery wind it was a matter of walk up and grab today. Don't know how I missed it last time. Oh well, I doubt there will be many who have a DNF on their log for this cache. I blame it on the wind. Now off to Hidden Oasis which was also a DNF on Friday. TFTC in this lovely little park cachem8.

With Ms Atalanta on a walk around this area for Geocaches. This was the first of the day. Muggles galore; we had to be discrete. Dropped off a TB. Thanks for bringing us here.

Needing to find at least one cache for today's International Geocaching Day Souvenir, I stopped off after my night shift to grab one close to work, and then another at Elizabeth Bay. This was the 2nd of 2 finds for the morning.

After finding "Mill Street Plane Spotting Reloaded" close to work, this was to be my final cache stop as I headed for home. Parked the geomobile in the recommended parking area at the end of Ithaca Road, then headed off toward GZ, stopping briefly at the "highly ornamental drinking fountain" on the way.

Arrived at GZ and started the search, but spent far too long searching with the hint in mind. So, after being impaled a couple of times Sad, I refocused my attention elsewhere and soon uncovered the hide and had CIH. TNLNSL, and then replaced as found.

The info panels about the history of the location, and the fountain pond and stone sculpture, were all interesting features near GZ. The old St Monan's Conservatory, where the fountain pond once resided, would also have been quite impressive if it were still here.

TFTC cachem8, and happy International Geocaching Day everyone Smile.

Find #1898

Certainly more than bearable......this little park is very pretty, I particularly liked the lovely pond and fountain.

High winds across Sydney hadn't kept the muggles inside today but GZ was relatively sheltered from prying eyes.

A lovely place to visit

After a DNF at Hidden Oasis I had a second strike out here where it was even more wind.

Thank you cachem8 for bringing me to this very nice park, right about lunchtime. I happily chomped my cheese and tomato sandwich while contemplating sundry dog walkers, and some working boats on the water. The rain had stopped but the kookaburras were going a treat. Then I wandered over to find the cache, without too much personal damage from spiky things.

Nice little hide.
Great park where we enjoyed our lunch... with many others on this great sunny Sydney day.

Beware the spikes they leave splinters

Not quick enough for FTF, 3TF is still good for a cache this close to the city. I thought there used to be a cafe here on the wharf?! Well at least now there is a geocache. You win some, you lose some. TFTC cachem8

Out for a lunch time jog in prep for Sunday's City to Surf. Made this grab on the way, thankfully not a jog to Japan!! 2TF Hint was good and I have a splinter Sad. TFTC #394

Hmmmm..... I think the coordinates for the "Highly Ornamental Drinking Fountain" might need a slight adjustment. They are currently located to the east of Japan! Big Grin
