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).
As always with city caching, the surrounding structures can affect GPS accuracy. If in doubt, use the hint however be mindful that 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. I hope you find this information enlightening.

Barangaroo
Barangaroo was a local aboriginal woman belonging to the Cammeraygal Clan. She was married to Bennelong who was a contact between the local Aboriginal people and the early British colonists. While Bennelong spent considerable time in the British settlement in Sydney, Barangaroo maintained her way of life with her people.
The area in front of you, now called Barangaroo, was used for fishing and hunting by Indigenous Australians prior to colonial settlement. Over time, the area was turned into docklands for shipping goods in and out of Australia. Part of this area was known as "The Hungry Mile", the name harbourside workers gave to the docklands area of Darling Harbour East during The Great Depression which began in 1929 when the US Stock Market crashed. Workers would walk from wharf to wharf in search of a job, often failing to find one.
Today, the view is of a redevelopment site as work continues to transform the area into office and commercial space as well as public recreational parkland.
