Teeny Tiny

Teeny Tiny (GC16V95) is a micro/nano geocache by sydney boy100 located in the leafy inner residential backstreets of Surry Hills / Darlinghurst. Typical of this area, the leafy streets are lined with traditional old-style Sydney terrace houses.

Despite it being a quiet Sunday morning, I felt very conspicuous looking for this one, clambering around parked cars, looking up in trees and street sign posts. 

After a good solid 20 minute search I gave up.

The three seekers before me also had no luck finding this, so I do wonder if the cache is still available.

Electric Harmony

My work as a train driver is unique, in that it often gives me some spare downtime to go geocaching. Being based in central Sydney, I’m pretty much always guaranteed there will be some caches within walking distance.

Today I made my way over to Electric Harmony (GCZE72) and found this urban micro by Us Mob reasonably quickly. The key to these I guess is timing – early Sunday morning is a great time to go to those usually busy places to pick up cache and avoid the muggles.

Thanks for the cache. I quite enjoy the challenge of these urban micros.

Stairway to Deafen

Geocaching is a 24 hour activity, so anytime is a good time to go caching. Such was the case on my early morning drive to work this morning, stopping to pick up a handy micro-cache near one of the roadways on my route to work.

I’d actually been meaning for a while to have a go at this cache – it was just a case of waiting for a rare time where I was running a little early for work and had 5 or so minutes to spare.

The Stairway to Deafen (GCX5RE) micro geocache by zebrafive is in located in the backstreets of Sydney’s Darling Harbour precinct. I’d already used my iPhone and Google street view to “case” the general area in my spare time at work in recent days, so it was now time to put my research into action.

Turned out this was a very quick park and grab. The cache hint gave me a very good idea of where to sit and feel, and I’d located it in under 30 seconds.

Signed the log, and quickly returned to the car, and yes… I just made it to work on time. Thanks zebrafive for another good one in a sneaky spot!
