Unfortunately I don’t think it is there anymore, the only place where a cache that size can be hidden is cacheless.
Nice spot. Looked for a while. Read comments and looked high and low, in and out and found nada :/ maybe next time
I first came here some years ago without seeing the cache, but after reading logs I realised it was in the one place I had deliberately ignored. Today, an empty wharf greeted me and minutes later I had logged and returned the container. Thanks for a good hide which may even be legally placed.
While I waited for the water taxi I read a few logs and worked out the hide. Once they left I was bold and the cache was in hand.

Great cache and stellar hide!
Loving touristing here and picking up our first few caches in ages

Finally found after quite a bit of looking. Was about to give up but tried one more thing and there it was.
TFTC!
TFTC!
First time finding this cache. But it does need a new log book! Look after your safety and stretch your sea legs!
Nice hide, a bit of movement, but all worth it. Pleased to find the Sydney Opera House on my city water walk. TFTC
A great sunny autumn day for a walk around the harbour foreshore. Was flummoxed till I read a previous hint. TFTC SL. Left Duck tales TB
It was so much fun finding my first geocache. There were a couple of people looking for it and I could just tell that we were looking for the same thing.
Thank you so much for the wonderful experience.

Found this little cache floating in its hiding spot after the heavy rains these past few days. TFTC 
Found bit busy today but apart from explaining the game of ours to one muggle no one pays attention to what this dwarf is doing
#This Cache#
Wow... This was a tough nut to crack... We searched all over, in all possible and impossible places.... We actually found plenty other plausible hiding spots... But no cache...
I thought about the place, but my brain refused to believe a cache could be there. After all other possibilités were analized, just before giving up the search completely, I build up the courage to open the thing that I thought cannot be opened... And there it was... So simple!
#This Day#
Finally, a day off from work! Yeeee! Took advantage of this day, hopped on a ferry and went downtown Sydney but with a quick stop on Cockatoo Island. We dedicated the whole day to some quality geocaching and exploring. We tried to get as many caches as possible today... Walking around all day from early morning till 10 PM.
#This Trip#
We are back in Australia this year, despite these rough COVID times. We are here for work, but every now and then some time off allows for a bit of geocaching. Visited Adelaide for a day but after that we spent most of the time in Sydney Olympic Park.
It is my first time in South Australia and NSW, so it is very nice to get these state souvenirs!

yay!!! found it with a friend. tftc!
indeed you might get seasick if not found early

Tftc! It's choppy today and in finding this cache I've realised that I definitely still get sea sick!
Quick find. Started raining just as we found it, feeling really seasick now haha
So good. Had the whole team looking for this one. Tftc and big thank you to this champion who left their QR Code behind. Quality stuff. P.s the photo is for laughs.
Out on a trip to see Rent with Halcyon123. Took advantage of how empty the surroundings were due to Covid to grab some caches. This took a little moment because we initially thought we weren’t allowed to access this area, but no one was around so we gave it a go TFTC!
Eventually found in a surprising place, before seeing a show with Nacki22. Tftc
Super fun and wobbly lol took awhile and received some strange looks from muggles but it was worth it!!!
Soooo much fun! Very wobbly and got really dizzy but my dizziness disappeared when we found it!!!
Oh no, it is so windy today, so there are sooo many waves, it is very wobbly. Searched for a while, though your hint could be cryptic and mean it is on the bench, but not for a size small. Then I thought is the hint wink, but that didn’t work out either. Thanks to another finder today for pointing me in the right direction. I had looked all around that, but had not looked in it. TFTC (great spot both location and cache itself)
What a fun and picturesque location for a cache! Sat down for a bit and pounced after the waiting water taxi commuters had boarded their vessels. It's always nice to see bigger containers in the city!
TFTC! This was a really cool cache in a creative location. Lots of cool things inside so bring something to trade! It’s quite a busy spot though.
In Sydney to see Christmas lights and some geocaching with Wifey
Fortunately no one around today, took a while, lots of swell today. Wife did some reading, then hands on signed log.
First find for Wifey this trip. I knew i brought her with me for a reason!
Difficult cashe i, like theseones
Thanks for maintaining the cache

After being rocked left and centre and feeling a bit so sick we put our hands on it. Great spot and it makes you think fav for being daring!!!! TFTC
12/12/20 I got very dizzy before fiding it. One clue for previous people was crucial.
I came to find this one this morning, a few kayakers went past and the cache was easily found and is all good.
With a few days of not much going on in Adelaide, I was deciding what to do for the next few days. For some reason Sydney seemed like a good choice and within 6hours I was off and away. With a last minute decision came a last minute plan of what I was going to go and find and as usual it changed but still got most of what I came for. A few DT fill-ins for my next loop, high favourites and JASMAR caches I was yet to find including the oldest in Aus: Lane Cove. Day 1: I arrived in Sydney late in the evening and had booked to stay at the rocks, I got off the train at an early stop and collected a few caches in the city along my path and a few lab caches. Day 2 I was up nice and early and went for nice run along the foreshore collecting some cache from the opera house to Walsh bay, I then headed over to manly and a nice walk around the area before picking up the free hirer car collecting a few caches on my way to lane cove. I later headed north to central coast to 2 Multis I was keen to tick off before arriving back in the city suburbs for the evening. I continued driving around the suburbs collecting LGAs and that continued on for day 3 before going to Bondi for some nice walks along the rock faces and the beach. As I had to drop the car back at lunch time I headed back into the city for the afternoon to collect the rest of the caches I had missed that were possible in the time I had left.
A total of 86 finds and 37 adventure labs for the trip.
Thanks for the cache

Back for a second look a few years later and this time with less people around came up with the goods!!!! TFTC
TFTC. We thought we might be prohibited to look here. But gave it a go anyway.
90% sure I know where this one is, but I had a quick look and couldn't see anything, and was too nervous to keep searching with all the people walking past. I think this one will be an after-dark find
Out for an evening stroll with the wife. Had to wait for another couple to move on. Easy find with the hint. Tftc.
Was a hot humid evening last night but that didn't stop me and a muggle friend to go for a wander around Sydney. Best time to visit the inner city areas as thanks to COVID there is no one around! No tourists means less chance of muggles seeing what you're doing. GC coords are spot on. After a hunt and thinking outside the box, I had CIH. Yay! Signed log, replaced and off we went for more adventures. Log was dry and container in good condition. TFTC.
I wouldn’t normally do this kind of thing.
Retrieving and signing on a moving platform is worth an extra terrain star!
A couple of ducks with a brood of ducklings observed the ritual, but I otherwise had GZ to myself.

This one had evaded me a fair few times now, but i had a bit better chance this morning before jumping on the little red train to tour around the gardens with the kids. Sneaky hide i have to admit! TFTC
Found with daughter Bex after checking previous logs.
I am taking a road trip to Sydney to visit my daughter and picking up caches along the way.
Thanks for hiding this cache 2qt2bstr818

Only me and another at this location at night. Could not find looking in places I thought obvious, it is dark though
Found with the help of the constabulary checking to make sure we weren't up to no go. TFTC JenneG and Budgy
Nice easy find.
In the city to do the bridge climb
Didn’t have a pen so will add photo for proff of find
