Logs for Duke of Earl 

10-Jul-13
Very nice! Back near my home ( on the other side of the planet) there is a series called "Incongruous" that uses a similar idea. This cache is a classic. Took the geocoin and will move it along.

Easy to find, nearly impossible to log. Particularly when you have to explain yourself to each mew busload of tourists who unload. Finally my brother in law showed up with the right tool and we finished the job. Tried to put it back securely but make it a little more accessible. This was yesterday about noon. Thanks! 
 
Since nearly everything in Australia looks dangerous to me, I didn't have much standard to go bu. looked in many wrong places before going to the obvious right one. This monument is very moving. Thanks for putting a cache nearby. TNLN 
 
Visited yesterday. Beautiful experience. Family were too acrophobic to go all the way to the cache, but I made it. Thanks.

One of two found on the way back to the hotel from scenic world. TNLN thanks! 
 
Took us longer than it should have. Nice hide! The waterproofing is wearing out. Thanks! 
 
Found and enjoyed on our visit to Katoomba from the US. Thanks!

Great hide! Seen this only once before. It is great to be back in Australia. I was last caching here seven years ago. The log is so wet it is almost impossible to write on it. I just sort of left an imprint on it. 
 
Clever hide. Careful of the poison ivy.

My last found cache for this trip to Sydney. A beautiful day! A well done cache for such a very public space. Took the geocoin and promise to put about 11000 miles on it taking it home. Left a patch from the North Carolina Museum of Natural History.

After a morning at he Koala Park (which I would highly reccomend to any visitors to the area) the three kids and I continued our Australian geocaching adventure by finding this fine cache in a beautiful park. Took bobbins (I don't argue with what the 5 year old wants) and a commemerative dollar coin and left two refridgerator magnets from North Carolina museums. Also left the EMC travel bug.

Found it in the company of three little helpers. Fortunately I had brought plenty to trade. Took Spiderman stamps and a top and left a NC coin purse and keychain and a little butterfly. Also left a TB named Christmas Cracker, though heavan knows why. Nice neighborhood!

I found this cache early on friday morning - my first cache in Australia! Thanks to the owner for this clever and well executed multi on such a public site. I attracted the attention of a maintainence man who asked what I was looking for. "Geocaching!" I told him. Got a puzzled look and moved on. No worries, eh? The final stage was several feet from where the GPSr was pointing, but no harder to find for it. Took a magnet showing the Australian War Memorial and left one from the North Carolina Museum of History. I also left the Scuba TB. The cache is not under water, but literally a stones throw from Sydney harbor, so that seemed good enough. 
 
I found this multi on friday the 5th in a burst of morning caching in central Sydney. Great cache! Using information on public memorials ensures at least two stages can't be removed and provides a bonus history lesson. Wonderful tour of the fabulous Botanical Gardens, as well. The final stage was complicated by a homeless guy sleeping within less than twenty feet from the cache. Wil stelth I prevailed. Took the new travel bug tags, which I will try to use wisely, and left a North Carolina Museum of History keychain, a little dinosaur, and the Hong Kong Taxi TB, which is now back on the right side of the planet. 
 
Found this as the third of thre multis down in the city center on Friday the fifth. Saw a fair bit of evidence of people lurking in the trees and shooting up and drinking but nobody around in the bright morning. Took a badge with a picture of Australia and also a TB with a little shell on it. Left a keychain with little copies of US money and also Nigel the Labrary Dog TB, since I passed by the great library of NSW on the way to the cache.
