*** A reminder, particularly to new geocachers, that in order to claim an online find, you must retrieve the physical cache container and sign the logbook within it. Please make sure you have a pen/pencil with you. This is a fundamental rule of geocaching.
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!

Yurong
Long before the arrival of Europeans, this location and other areas around the point were used by the Cadigal people for hunting and gathering of food. It was also used for various important cultural ceremonies including the ‘Dog Dance’ and ‘Kangaroo Dance’, which were performed as a form of supplication to: “impart the young men with the power over hunting dogs and the power to kill Kangaroos”. This was an initiation ceremony into manhood where those who were to receive the honour would have a front tooth removed.
Today, the area is generally known as Mrs Macquarie’s Point, named after Elizabeth Macquarie, the wife of the 5th Governor of NSW, Major General Lachlan Macquarie.
