Came by to do a Cache check on what is now a rare visit to the area and it has been muggled. So as I can no longer easily maintain this one I have decided to put it to rest and open up the area for someone else.
Thank you to those who found and enjoyed the hide.

Found instantly, like it was made for a geocache. Good time to go during the day when the sun is out and you can see through. Nice idea with the masking tape too! TFTC
Came here to check out sunset diner (new burger place) around the corner. Great burgers! Walked over to the park after, made this quick grab.

After attending the Lane Cove Community Celebration Event, stopped for dinner in town and realised this cache was close enough to grab while waiting over an hour for a table reservation (that never eventuated before we moved onto a much yummier venue). Easy find and grab even surrounded by muggles though log is now full and needs replacing.
My first find after returning from Tassie! I had to displace a small spider to get at this one. TFTC
I'm glad to have such a clever geocache proximate to my home. I'll be sure to use it as a challenge for family and visitors. With this one, you need to use your head. Thanks.
Parked in garage and took the lift up. Short walk to GZ where the cache was found. Not that easy reach it, but in the end we did.
Found during a very very humid lunch with a mate.
Not too many muggles but definitely easier to find during the day instead of at night (when I first tried and obviously failed.)
Bumped into Rob himself - Cheers for the great chat! Keen to check out your other caches too.

Nice and quick to spot, harder to get. Plenty of nugglesbut too busy in their phones to notice me. TFTC
I was with the cache owner when this one was placed. I also spent many a night waiting in the temporary car park for him to finish work. Thought it was about time I got a smiley for this.

Today we headed over to Hunters Hill and Woolwich for a variety of cache types, commencing with a Traditional, then a Letterbox, and then an Adventure Lab followed by it’s associated AL Bonus Mystery cache. Also corrected a couple of DNF’s from a previous visit, one of which was a Puzzle/Mystery cache, and grabbed another Traditional cache out at Onions Point. And on the way back home we stopped off at the new “Canopy” shopping centre in Lane Cove for some grocery items, and also found the cache that’s located there, which was to be our final cache of the day. This was the 12th of 12 finds for the day.
After a days caching over on the Hunters Hill and Woolwich peninsula we were now on our way back home, but stopped off at Lane Cove for this one at the new “Canopy” shopping centre. Parked the geomobile in the underground carpark, experiencing the "ticketless" entry process for the first time (auto recording of the car's number plate on arrival & departure), then headed up to GZ for a look.
Soon spotted the cache container, guided by the excellent hint, but it did take a little longer to perform the extraction process. Signed the log and replaced as found, then had a look around the greenspace before departing.
It's a good example of a shopping centre development done well, and we were happy to do some shopping downstairs before heading off home. TFTC Robak65, and congratulations on your development project.

Just the one today. My it's getting hot early.
A few people out at GZ but few moving around, so having quickly identified GZ I could search and no one was the wiser.
Didn't take too long to spot it, but couldn't extract it. Went looking for a TOTT, and was almost ready to head back to *The Hademobile* for one when I found something that would suffice.
Extracted the cache and took a short distance to complete signing duties.
Then back for the replace and away to proper air conditioning!

Out with oldmorty finding a few caches on a Sunday morning.
Wow, this area has changed a lot. Such a great place for families.
Had to be very careful extracting and replacing the cache as lots of muggles sitting on chairs enjoying the sun.

OCW frazeydaze on a lovely Sunday morning. What a great area around gz. It was very busy this morning; kids playing in the playground, mums and dads sitting around drinking coffees, others shopping. Thanks for showing us this beautiful area amongst the concrete jungle Robak65.
Have only been to the Canopy at night before, so missed out on this nice area on top.
Thought might be tricky around 3pm with school just finished, however actually made this find without even pulling out my GPS - had a peep at the hint, and it clicked where I needed to be looking.
Sneaky cache - a great urban micro -- thanks Robak65!
Cheers!

Grab this on the way to work at Coles nearby. Came here yesterday after work but there was plenty of muggles due to warm day. Came this morning with no one around. Find it quite easily the hard part was getting it out.
Working 140m away, thus early find as I ducked out for a quick find and coffee before I start
We don't get to Lane Cove often but came up for lunch and noticed this new venue, complete with cache. Found with MummyPenny and 90Nine. Thanks Robak65.
I live locally and came here the other day but for some reason the area was roped off, then I came again and a muggle was sitting right at GZ reading a book and eating her lunch. How do you get this - you come in the rain when no-one else except a mad cacher is out there.
The cache was quickly spotted and even for someone of my build it was difficult to retrieve the cache. Some of you might need a tool. SL and replaced where found.
The new area looks good, and thank goodness its finished, its been a long time coming!
Unfortunately for people who live where I do getting here into the parking now takes 10 minutes longer than the original parking below the old Coles with the 3 school zones and 2 extra sets of lights and the pedestrian crossing beside the mall - verrry slow.
It will be good when all the extra shops around the grassed area are open.

A quick, late night find.
Retrieval was tricky, as the security guard more or less followed me up from the car park. I must look suspicious.
Luckily a young couple decided to use the kids play equipment after doing their shopping, and that distracted the guard long enough for me to grab the prize.
I took the opportunity to explore a little, and I must say the new area seems very nice.

OCW the Bebes. Needed to avenge a DNF on this one after it went missing. Found immediately where we thought it should be. Tftc
Fairly quick find after finding a good spot to check all the possibilities. It took a bit of work to retrieve, but thankfully it was pretty quiet. SL TFTC.
Took a while but once found easy to see and wondered why it had taken so long!! Clever hint.TFTC
Easy to find, hard to retrieve, must be my non-nano fingers. OCW Brewmaker. TFTC Robak65
When we parked the car we were only 5m away, but underneath it! Off we go where we thought hard and soon had CIH. Lots of little muggles playing over 20m away. Fortunately no one at GZ. TFTC

It was fun to sign FTF on a brand new log - even though of course there had been a previous log.
This hide took me by surprise. I don't live that far from Lane Cove and often go there - but of course not so much the last few months. So I didn't even look on the map, thinking I knew pretty much exactly where the Canopy was, and it's not!!!!. I've never been in that new area. It's awesome Robak65. You can be justly proud of your work there.
Anyway, I found the hide, with relative ease. There were a few muggles about but they all seemed occupied with small children, dogs or shopping baskets.
Thank you, Robak65

Dropped by on the way home and it was gone. If this keeps up I will have to rethink the location.

A really well done community space!
Plenty of muggles enjoying it today. We sat down with a friendly, quiet local and searched the obvious, then everywhere else but came away empty handed.
This one needs a CO check please as I think it’s gone

Great cache. Was on the other side of Sydney when the email came through saying there was a new cache. Raced here really fast and just as we got to gz first to finders handed us the cache. Pipped at the post again 2 days in a row.
