#1041 On our final full day in Sydney before heading back to the UK Sad - last chance for some caching! Had to wait for a couple of possible fellow cachers or muggles to leave as they were bashing about for quite a while looking for something! Used hint to pinpoint gz quite quickly. Nicely hidden SL TFTC 
 
#1037 On our final full day in Sydney before heading back to the UK Sad - last chance for some caching! Co-ords seemed a little off but got there in the end by using previous logs as a guide... cache is a little too close to a rodent trap for my liking - hand sanitizer went straight on afterwards! SL TFTC 
 
#1038 On our final full day in Sydney before heading back to the UK Sad - last chance for some caching! Gz was full of muggles from, and looking at, the cruise ship docked nearby. No-one looking my way so managed to grab, sign, and replace. Nice to see some old caches still about. TFTC 
 
#1040 On our final full day in Sydney before heading back to the UK :-( - last chance for some caching! 1st of the day for Mrs L80MMM - in a place I'd already looked >_< . Nice cammo, SL TFTC. Note: logbook is full. 
 
#1039 On our final full day in Sydney before heading back to the UK Sad - last chance for some caching! Not knowing the area we had to walk all around the houses (literally) to get to this one. Couldn'tget believe it was the cache - excellent work! SL TFTC 
 
#1042 On our final full day in Sydney before heading back to the UK Sad - last chance for some caching! Final one of the day and in Oz - found, retrieved, & signed by Mrs L80MMM. TFTC Note: no lid on container & logbook torn

#1035. In Sydney for four nights after getting off the Queen Mary 2 - time for some caches 'down under'! Patience required for this one between the running/walking muggles (bless 'em - someone should get them to slow down and enjoy the scenery...!). SL TFTC 
 
#1036. In Sydney for four nights after getting off the Queen Mary 2 - time for some caches 'down under' before heading back to the UK. Unfortunately the spot was infested with student-like muggles on some form of running-puzzle-quest with the gz as a stopping point - managed to get the answers required - sent via email (or two...) TFTC & bringing us here.

#1033 In Sydney for four nights after getting off the Queen Mary 2 - time for some caches 'down under'! Got to come to Bondi Beach if you're in Sydney!

#1028 In Sydney for four nights after getting off the Queen Mary 2 - time for some caches 'down under'! Lots of muggles here today due to the surfing champs but as they were looking the other way this one was quite easily found. Nice spot with good history. SL TFTC 
 
Got some funny looks from the restaurant muggles - maybe upstairs? Need a ticket Sad 
 
#1031 In Sydney for four nights after getting off the Queen Mary 2 - time for some caches 'down under'! Final one of the day taking advantage of the 'Sunday Opal max charge'! Cache is not in a box anymore - it's a zip-lock bag. SL TFTC 
 
Clive James deserves a shout out as he gave us in the UK a different, clever and insightful look at Current Affairs! 
 
Had to put a mention in for Rudyard Kipling & the Jungle Book - the new film of the book isn't a retelling either...

#1025. Just got off the Queen Mary 2 - time for some caches! On a walk from Potts Point back to the ship which is 'parked' by Opera House & Harbour Bridge for some pics. It was dark when we got there but the place was still busy, almost gave up until we understood the hint... Nice spot for a cache, we will visit again in the daytime to see more. SL TFTC 
 
#1026. Just got off the Queen Mary 2 - time for some caches! On a walk from Potts Point back to the ship which is 'parked' by Opera House & Harbour Bridge for some pics. It was dark when we got there but the place was still busy. Funny to see loads of people taking pictures of the ship that we had eaten breakfast on that morning! My favourite author? Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (I have the complete set of Sherlock Holmes stories on my e-reader to be dipped in and out of at will) Favourite story? It has to be A Study in Scarlet - it not only introduces us to the characters, but also the characters to each other.
Photo to follow when I get decent WiFi to download it, if that's ok. TFTC
