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.
Enjoy!

The new Sydney Fish Market brings together every part of the seafood story in one extraordinary waterfront destination. Under one spectacular wave-shaped roof, the new Market features bustling wholesale trade, dining, retail, and education, creating a place where industry and community meet.
The new Sydney Fish Market is more than a building – it is an ecosystem. A working market, a food destination, a learning hub and a gathering place, all under one roof. From early morning tours to long lunches by the harbour, from cultural events to cooking classes with acclaimed chefs, we invite you to go deeper with every visit.

Coal Loader Palm Grove
This colourful sculpture provides a contemporary interpretation of the former Blackwattle Bay Coal Loader which was built on this site in 1926 and worked in this location for part of the 20th century. Elements of the old coal loader sits among a dense grove of palms, a local indigenous tree species known as Daranggara by the Dharug and Gadigal people which filled many of the valleys along Sydney harbour. They were in dense groves up until the early 1800s before their destruction.
There's easy transport to the Fish Market via the L1 Light Rail Dulwich Hill line, alighting at the Wentworth Park stop. You can use an Opal Card if you have one to tap on and off. Alternatively, you can use your credit, debit or travel card.
This is a magnificent addition to the Sydney retail scene so I hope you enjoy your visit and finding this cache.
