Go for it, mate! Otherwise, seeing this one on the map will only continue to cause us angst haha.
This is hard, maybe I am too new, maybe it has been moved...definitely would not venture here after sunset due to spiders....both the 8 & 2 legged kind!
OK unfortunately i will have to archive this one...finally after a few years, looks like the cache has been muggled...
Recent logs mention lots of underwear and rubbish, where the cache was originally placed, so assume the cache has fallen in the hands of those who frequent the spot after hours.
Thanks to all who found the cache, it is a great spot on a nice sunny Sydney day.

This was my second attempt at this one, although a more thorough search than the first. It took me a little longer than it should have to notice all the unscrupulous 'items' and undergarments and my imagination lead me to wonder what actually goes in this little secret garden. I didn't find the cache, was reluctant to stick my fingers in places. Might come back someday.
This is freaky as f*** at night watch out for couches. Last place I am coming back
Not sure i got date right, but DNF anyway. Got totally freaked out by all the leaf curling spiders! Will have to come back with backup!!
Despite a long look, couldn't find this today. Should've worn my own undies on the outside for a superhuman look, but decided against it!! Nice place to return to though.
Looked for for this one a few times, but always with muggles around. Today I had more time, and found it after a few minutes. I think the hint is a little inaccurate, but otherwise a nice hide. Had a chuckle at the comments about the copious amounts of discarded underwear. No less true today.

Find #1349 - 1 for today. Found on 5/03/13 9:52 AM
Parked the car nearby and a short walk to GZ. Getting closer to GZ I noticed the lantana growing wildly and I thought its not in there is it? Thankfully the cache was placed away from the lantana. Great views of the 'bridge' from near the water. TNSLLN

Very nice evening walk in the sunset on my last day at Australia.
I would love to take one or two geo coins with me back to Germany, but unfortunately, there was no geocoin in the cache. I hope they were not stolen or lost.

Found after a brief search. SL TNLN TFTC. Beware the mosquitos are savage and plentiful...
26/02/13 1:43 PM. Cache #458. Current streak: 170 days. A short walk here after "1..2..3...Cross!" and glad to be able to pop into some shade as it was quite hot. A hide revealed itself pretty quickly so I soon had CIH. Signed and replaced just as a blue tongue skink came up for a look. Quick bus trip and I was back at work after little over an hour. TFTC }:)
Mosquitos in abundance - sneaky cache well hidden. Needed to use the clues in other logs.
Found during our visit to Australia. We retrieved our own travel bug which has been travelling around the world and has clocked up over 20,000 miles. We will take it back to the UK so it can start all over again.

Found on my second attempted as i arrived a GZ another shower of rain set in so was very happy to get some shelter, after a short rummage around, and avoiding the undies!! soon had cache in hand.
*note* could not find any Travel bugs or tracables.

The 4 of us arrived on our road bikes. As we approached GZ we were approached by 2 security guards asking what we were doing. He then said are you geocaching? We admitted we were and introduced him to the game. We took an indecently long time finding the cache. It's always harder when you are being watched! We also had to avoid all the abandoned underwear. Eventually it was found. TFTC!
apparently this area gets busy at night! so when the security guards saw 4 men in tights, he just assumed.... but this early in the morning? Took us a while for an easy hide... might have been looking too hard. TFTC!
Nice hide, loved this cache and thus walk. Will return to drop a trackable I think.
Find with gracelessme.

Came Down from pymble with my dad. He was at work and I set off for a day out geocaching in the inner west.
Went down the complete wrong way, through the old uni. But then found out it was an easy path along freshly mowed lawn, D'oh.
Arrived at GZ where I found the staircase and walked down applying the clue in my head.
Nothing. No lose bricks at all so sat down and read other logs.
Walked to the t_e_ and looked up left and right. Tried the last one and cache in hand.
I have the container every morning for breakfast so was very familiar with it.
No TB very disappointed but Signed log and continued on my way.

Nice walk to get here. Looks like the underwear patrol has been on duty and removed the evidence. But there was half a bottle of kerosene. Yuk! TN LN SL TFTC Cheers... Gaztek
Late night run, cache after a harbour cruise. Took a bit of searching for this one to reveal itself. SL TFTC
First time I looked for this my nervous muggle friend was really scared so we moved on. Today I firstly found lots of nickers and bra's. Then the cache. TFTC
Take a moment to admire the twelve pairs of underwear/briefs/lingerie and bras scattered in this positively favoured spot for the young and horny.
Tricky hide. Spent a bit of time hunting around and then had to stand back to be able to spot a likely location and there it was.
I took my bicycle for a spin from Drummoyne to Pyrmont, geocaching as best I could along the way. I was spectacularly unsuccessful in Pyrmont, so it was very nice to end my ride with this find. I liked having some privacy (from muggles) while conducting my search. I left Queen Victoria Post Boz Geocoin.
In the area shopping with Mrs B and we wandered down here to look around. Quite a lot of curious carvings all about. i didn't have a GPS today but with a map on the phone, the hint and a lucky glance, I found it in the shady, quaint little spot. TFTC
It was great to find a decent size cache in the area. Great hide. Took TB. Other TB's listed are not there. TFTC.
It's always the last place you look and it was mrryanmurray who looked. Pathtag for the next cacher. SL-TFTC
Easy find. In the company of newly cacheaholics. Isa, Mel, João, Porko2003.

Took a little while to locate this cache but eventually a suspicious spot proved correct and another cache was ticked off. Such a beautiful day and location. TFTC TNLN
Thank you for the maintenance on the cache..
I am overseas at the moment, so appreciate your kindness

Found while plodding along the bayrun.
This is a family favourite place for picnics. Great cache, forgot to bring a spare log, so after my plodding I drove back here and put in a new log, new ziplock bag and also bagged up the two old logs.
Got a bit spooked by some dogs that dashed by and some weird muggle... anyhow, have dropped the suncoin TB, it is a nice piece that likes beaches etc. I figure there is a beach around here when the tide is right
+1 Favourite for the memories it brings to mind and its age!

Reperio at 1440.
I was passing nearby this one, and it looked like a nice walk, and the weather was behaving as well, so after parking at the nearby car park, I quickly made my way along the trail to GZ. Once there, I had to be reasonably careful in my searching actions as there was a muggle playing with his two dogs, but a quick search soon had the cache in hand. Didn't realise this one was so old until I got back home.

I loved the place, never suspected that there was something there, out of view from the path. No trackables in the cache. The log book is full.

Yey.. our 50th cache! A quick find by geowife.
Great place for riding a bike or just walking by the sea.
TFTC Dernel, nice hide!

Bit drizzly this afternoon but didn't take too long to find, thankfully. No Travlers present. Thanks.
Thank you for the feedback..
unfortunately i will be overseas for the next 6 weeks and unable to attend cache maintenance.
if there are any fellow cachers, who could place a new log in the container, that would be greatly appreciated.
If not, i'll get there at the end of November..
thanks,

Nice find. Love this place and enjoy coming here. Maintenance is needed on the cache as the log books are full.
Last cache for the day. A nice climb down from the parking spot and a hide that took a little too long!?!

We had great fun finding this and was able to introduce some friends to geocaching at the same time.

A nice drive through the old hospital grounds on a nice sunny day. I parked on the road and walked around to GZ. Close by the water, such an awesome place to sit and Chelax! I walked around GZ and started searching. I read the previous logs and continued looking around the area I thought cache would be in.
I then spotted something, and it was part of the cache poking out ever so slightly. I went in and made the find. Got cache, SL. TN and dropped in GeoCoin to move it on. Replaced again and the camo looks really good. Thanx Dernel, TFTC.

No bike but we had a lovely walk. Introduced a couple of locals to the joys of caching - and sharp eyed tail-ender spotted the cache - an instant convert. Cache was a little exposed, so hid a bit better on return. We also discovered an interesting TB, but we are limited for space so added our bit and left it for the next cacher, along with a TB from Scotland. TFTC
Great Sunday afternoon walk with my geokids & geodog. Good spot. Except bring your own pen as the ink has ran out on the one in the cache. Deposited a travel bug here (the artist). No other trackballs found.
Found during a "five bridges" walk from Henley to Milson's Pt. TFTC in a beautiful park.
Out for a spot of night caching with HGL tonight, heading gradually east from Olympic Park towards the city. Stopped in here after a somewhat convoluted drive across - the joy of the inner west!
A quick and easy walk, with lots of joggers and we soon were at the cache location. HGL made the find, then it was off to the nearby GCA cache.
TNLNSL, thanks for the cache Dernel!
best wishes,
Wal

A nice walk in the dark, although there were plenty of muggles out for a jog or ride tonight. The location of GZ was easy to find and then after a short search the cache was retrieved from its hiding hole. Left a few trackables that have come direct from South Africa, Corpus Cachekinz (The Dog) and Po' Joe (The Man). I'd love to see the area during the day. TFTC
Hi,
Dropped in today to deposit a TB I've had for a while and needed to move along. The pen wasn't working for the log book. When I am passing next time I'll replace if you like. Rowell+Mum.

This was Team PAGE's very first geocache! Took us some time to find it but it was worth it in the end. Previous posts and photos were good for hints. Well hidden!
This is a very picturesque park near some very spooky and abbandoned buildings
This cache was cleverly hid.

Went up, went down, went up, went down again. Nice hiding spot when we did find it. Looking at the pictures for the size of the cache really helped. Dropped off 2 travel bugs. No bugs in cache when found. Tftc.
Hi,
My son and his friend finally found this today. They were on a walk witht he high school and managed to sneak off and find the cache. They didn''t have anything on them to leave but did pick up the 4x4 Jeep TB.

Lovely spot for a cache, found in a few mins of searching. Would be nice on a hot day too. Dropped TB.

Well, Chook was not available, so I thought it would be a great chance to take a new "wet behind the ears" Geocacher (with six finds) under my wing a mentor them about the finer points of geocaching (being a seasoned 47er). So, I entered into a "Super League" breakaway franchise with fellow Geocacher ChristineVista for this effort. So, we drove to the general location, I took the lead and went to the wrong place. "Christine" then gently suggested we try "over that way" and lead me to the right place. I poked around and prodded here and there "watching my step" as it were, and found nothing. I looked over at what "Christine" was doing and watched her walk up and down a set of stairs nearby. I chuckled to myself, and thought, it won't be there, that's too obvious. After more prodding and poking, sweating and be eaten by mosquito's I walked over to "Christine" and suggested that "it probably has been taken by muggles" and "not to worry" because "I know where there are some others"...when she put up a finger to silence me and said..."Can you look in there for me, I just got a manicure and don't want to chip a nail." I looked down and guess what? Found the cache. ChristineVista one, Harro zip. The teacher definitely became the student.
A joint effort by ChristineVista & Harroandchook minus chook (sorry chook)
A Few Mozzies and muggles but still a VICTORY!

No mozzies, but a few spiders Great spot, would love to know more about the history of this spot, will have to google it! TFTC!
We were not successful but will try another time. We will take insect repellant next time so we are not dirven out of the area. ROWELL+MUM.
Final score here: the voucher 1 (found the cache and logged in)...mosquitoes 7....Get in and out quickly if you don't enjoy getting eaten. 7th and final for the day. Now its on to the Fish Markets for a beer and lunch. A good 10+ mile geohike today starting at Burwood Station. TFTC!!
Late Friday afternoon, leaving work early, good opportunity to pick this one up on the way home. This seems like a popular spot for the mozzies. Lucky I managed to find the cache when I did, because they were starting to chomp down. TFTC Dernel.
