Totally Findable Tourist Caches
Welcome to Sydney
This series of geocaches is designed primarily with visitors to Sydney in mind who may have limited time and transport options and want a quick and easy find while out enjoying some sightseeing around this beautiful city.
All cache containers will be one of three types; a flat magnetic key case (MKC), a round film canister (FC or MFC for magnetic) or a fake rock (FR).
The hint will indicate the type of container used and will be very specific to help you find the cache easily. If you want a challenge to find this cache and don't wish to know exactly where it's hidden, do not look at the hint.
At each location you’ll be given some information about the site you are visiting.
Enjoy!

Cockatoo Island
Many years of shipbuilding followed from 1870 onward and by World War I, over 150 dredges, barges and tugs had been built on the island. In 1913, Cockatoo Island became the official dockyard of the Royal Australian Navy, and during World War II, was the main ship repair facility in the southwest Pacific, with around 250 ships converted or repaired. The last ship to be constructed on the island was HMAS Success, which launched in 1984. It was the largest naval vessel built in Australia. Towards the end of 1991, the dockyard was officially shut down. After extensive remediation works, Cockatoo Island was opened to the public to enjoy in 2007.
