TNTTFTC,First for the day.In the city to attend a CITO this afternoon.Visited trackables.
Another day for StreetWalkerNZ and me of walking around the CBD, finding caches, and doing a few ad labs, before we take the ferry to Manly to see our son and daughter in law. Didn't take long to find the Wright street . There was a smoking muggle sitting close to GZ when we arrived, but once we worked out which side of the street to look, he had disappeared, so was able to make a quick sign and replace. TFTC.
#24930. Good work by Troodles here. As we were signing the log I guy an e-bike pulled up on the other side of alley, and said hello. At first I thought he was (yet another) food delivery rider, but then I saw he'd stopped at a bait station, and that the box on the back of the bike had some sort of pest control company name. TFTC.
Here visiting from Melbourne on a girls weekend with my eldest daughter seeing Hamilton and Dear Evan Hansen. Have some hours to fill before catching the train to the airport. Chilling in the hotel near by. Left the kiddo with our bags. I walked upto this and grabbed it straight away. So embarked on the nearby sidetracked too. TFTC and filling in 10 minutes.
GPS was quite accurate as we followed down the alley, if it is at night, will give it a pass but luckily there is still daylight, found it easily with log sheet & a pencil. TFTC to Co.
Out for caching in Sydney. Had to search little bit before finding this one.TFTC
In the city and decided to detour after exploring Darlinghurst. Quick find at GZ and after signing the log replaced as found. Both the cache and log are in excellent condition.

We are headed Overseas today and took a walk to grab a couple of caches first.Quiet here this morning. No muggles here today they have the road blockedA quick find was made.TFTC
Greetings from WalesAfter visiting the Eye at the Sky Tower we had lunch and then whilst the Boss and rest of the tribe decided to go shopping I was allowed to go caching for the afternoon.A simple find here so signed and retrieved the travel bug within.Thanks for the cache.
Reperio 17:04I was headed to Sydney this evening for a 2 day course, and so it gave me a great opportunity to find a few caches along the way. Once I had checked into my accomodation, and I headed out to find some of the more urbanised caches in the area. I arrived at GZ and soon located the cache, but unfortunately it was completely out of arms reach. Decided to leave it until I could find something long enough to get it out, and it wasnt long before I found just the right thing. Headed back and soon had the cache in hand.Gratias AussiebrianAs a well spent day brings happy sleep, a well spent life brings happy death - LDV
Could see it but couldnt reach it, there was even some roaches guarding the cache
Found whilst in Sydney for GWS v Bulldogs yesterday, a very successful weekend if I do say so myself! Quick find at GZ. Cache is without a lid and has a ziplock back on the outside which is keeping everything together. TFTC!
Thanks for the cahe its hard to get without tools but used some tools did it after an event
Luckily Ive got pretty skinny arms so managed to make the retrieve without the need for a tool this time around. It was fortunately a quiet and rainy evening so we were able to make the find in peace and quiet without any muggle oversight. Cache is in great condition despite the recent rainfall. Log signed and returned to its hiding spot. Thanks for maintaining this one here!
Sydney trip for Egyptian Exhibition Day 3. Having visited the fantastic Egyptian exhibition yesterday, I was heading home today. I had most of the day to wander around town before heading off in the afternoon back to Canberra. My walk today took me over the bridge into Darling Harbour and up the hill beyond to Ultimo. There was a bit of a loop around the back end of Darling Harbor before finding lunch at a tiny cafe in a back street. I then headed to the east of the station for a few caches before finding a place to sit and rest my feet till it was time to get on the train. A long few days, but it has been fun.The corners in this bent alley seem to have been made for smokers, there were a few people tucked away here. I had my corner to myself and was able to get the cache pout without it falling in.Thanks for the cache Aussiebrian46283.15 TNLNVisited: World Traveling Gold GC A#6 & 2012 FTF Music A#237**Albida**
Out and about again, headed around Canberra for the MEGA. Super excited my first MEGA and heading over with 2 others from the Cockburn Crew. Today is we are out with a group from Western Australia and signing the log as WAC to save time and log space.This is 15505, hoping to clock over the 15,000 finds in the week in New South Wales and ACT.Thanks to Aussiebrian for the caches we found.OZMEGA2024 OZMEGA2024 OZMEGA2024 OZMEGA2024 OZMEGA2024 OZMEGA2024Head over to Australian Capital Territory for Capital GeoBash MEGA - Canberras first ever Mega Event. Easter 2024 (GC9PNFB):5 day event at Canberra Park adjacent to EPIC (Canberra Showgrounds) on the Federal Highway, only 6km from the centre of the city. The mascot for the Mega is Gangles the endemic Gang Gang Cockatoo, a bird you may see or hear while in Canberra. The official website - geobash.ozmega.com.auACT has over 4700 active caches, power trails, and over 100 Lab Adventures. Heaps of challenge caches, hikes for geocaches for all levels of skills and fitness.
Cockburn Crew on tour to the Canberra Mega. Day 1 involved a bunch of caching around Sydney before making our way to Canberra for the Capital Geobash. We found a huge variety of caches, and its great to cache in new territory that we havent explored much in the past. Unlike our home state of Western Australia where we have found just about anything and everything.A beautiful day with great weather and even better company. Thank you to the local COs for a great day in and around this great country of ours.
Exciting times over the next couple of weeks as we takeoff for the Capital GeoBash in Canberra! Its going to be a flood of Sandgropers over east, with a host of West Aussies making the trek east for the event. Im travelling with fellow Cockburn Crew members Leg5 and Barnzy12, starting in Sydney and hitting the road to Canberra on Good Friday, before returning back to Sydney. Honourary mention to our fellow member, Cravo10, who couldnt make it after recently introducing a new geocacher to the world the week prior. Once in Canberra, the agenda is set, well team up with a host of Western Australians to conquer caches. Collectively, were hoping to make it the biggest ever weekend for cache finding. Following the event, the journey continues back to Sydney, with a mission to clean up caches and new Local Government Areas (LGAs), ensuring no cache is left unturned in this epic geocaching adventure. Something tells me that well need a holiday after this, well, holiday. Arrived in Sydney today after an overnight journey via Melbourne. Feeling pretty buggered, the time difference, short flights and transfer of aircraft in Melbourne didnt help. Despite a sleepless night, we had to push on, and the plan was to catch up with a friend in Coogee. I live near Coogee in Perth, but we pronounce it differently. I eyed off a few caches and LGAs to clean up in the process. If youre receiving this log, the chances are that todays mission was a success.All logs have been signed as WAC to save space, abbreviation for Western Australia Crew. Cheers Aussiebrian!

Mit 37 Geocachern ging es auf groe Reise. Drei Wochen nach Australien und Neuseeland, beginnend mit einem Zwischenstopp in Doha in Katar. So lange und so weit weg von zu Hause war ich noch nie. Eine aufregende Zeit.Beim Geocaching lag der Focus auf viele unterschiedliche Cachetypen, aber auch besondere Wertungen, Challenges und besonders ein paar sehr alte Caches aus den Jahren 2000 und 2001. Aber auch natrlich ganz besonders die Geocaches, die zu Fu vom Hotel aus gut erreichbar waren.Natrlich wurde stand aber nicht nur das Geocaching im Mittelpunkt, sondern auch die Sehenswrdigkeiten der einzelnen Stationen, die wir besuchten, verdienten ihre Aufmerksamkeit.In die Logbcher trugen wir uns mit unserem Teamnamen "Downunder 2024" ein, Logbuchplatz sparend und effizient.Es war eine ganz besondere Reise im groen Team, das auch sehr viel Spa gemacht hat.Nachdem wir gestern Doha verlassen hatten, besuchten wir heute Sydney. Aufgrund der Vielzahl der Caches reicht es berwiegend nur zu einem Einheitslog, fr den ich mich bei den unterschiedlichen Ownern hiermit schon mal entschuldigen mchte.Danke fr diesen Geocache. Danke fr die Ausarbeitung. Danke frs Zeigen.Lieber Gru aus Duisburg / DeutschlandAndyDieser Logeintrag wird mit Hilfe von Google bersetzt.__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________We set off on a long journey with 37 geocachers from Germany, Denmark, Luxembourg and Switzerland. Three weeks to Australia and New Zealand, starting with a stopover in Doha, Qatar. I have never been so long and so far away from home. An exciting time.When geocaching, the focus was on many different cache types, but also special ratings, challenges and especially a few very old caches from the years 2000 and 2001. But also, of course, especially the geocaches that were easily accessible on foot from the hotel.Of course, the focus wasn't just on geocaching; the sights of the individual stations we visited also deserved attention.We entered our team name Downunder 2024 in the logbooks, saving logbook space and efficiently.It was a very special trip in a large team, which was also a lot of fun.After leaving Doha yesterday, we visited Sydney today.Due to the large number of caches, there is usually only one standard log, for which I would like to apologize to the different owners.Thanks for this geocache. Thanks for the elaboration. Thank you for showing me.Kind regards from Duisburg / GermanyAndyThis log entry is translated with the help of Google.
