Geocache Description:

Sydney's Chinatown is an urban locality located in Haymarket, between Central Station and Darling Harbour and is the largest in Australia. The current location is the third in Sydney to be known as Chinatown, having previously been located near The Rocks in the late 19th century and later moved to an area near Market Street at Darling Harbour.

Chinatown Gate

By the 1920s, it began to be established in its current location. Chinatown is centred on Dixon Street, a pedestrian street mall with many Chinese restaurants, and with a Paifang at each end.

The cache is hidden in a small side-street just off Dixon Street called Little Hay Street. Due to tall buildings surrounding GZ, your GPS will probably not help in your quest to find this cache. In this street you will notice a series of appropriately-coloured metal bench seats. Use the hint as your guide to the orientation of the appropriate bench and your search for the cache will be fruitful (there are only two that match, neither of them have arm rests!).

You are looking for a camouflaged magnetic container originally containing a log sheet and pencil (although you should always bring your own writing implement to avoid disappointment). Stealth may be required when searching for this cache. Please be aware of any construction work taking place nearby and take necessary precautions.
