*** 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!

*** Unfortunately, the sculptures highlighted by this cache have been fully removed. I don't know if they will be returning or not.
The Sculptures
Dual-Nature is Australia’s first solar powered, permanent Public Sound-Sculpture. It was commissioned by the City of Sydney for the Sculpture Walk and was installed in Woolloomooloo Bay, Sydney, December 1999.
It is as if Mother Nature had overstepped her bounds and formed an alliance with Industry. Perhaps the foundry men, in the Naval workshops across the bay, had turned their hands to Marine Biology.
These hybrids of marine, industrial and natural forms reflect the maritime and cultural history of the site.
Partly submerged at high tide the water-based sculptures are intended to act as natural reverberation chambers. These ambient sounds mix with the pre-recorded soundscape (possibly no longer working) located within the land-based sculptures. Entitled Ebb and Flow the soundscape relates to the history of people and shipping flowing in and out of the bay.
