#1758 An easy find near the trail. Clear route to the cache. T4T$

After finding the box and logging it online i saw that is recently archived... the box is there. The logbook is a bit wet, but that it.....no need to archive it. There was even a TB in it...

No gone

Container cracked. Log book damp

Needs maintenance

Nice easy drive by once we found the right track. The log was a bit damp still but usable. TFTC

Quick drive by TFTC

A nice easy find on a nice day. Took train engine left soldier.
Log a bit damp, TFTC

Nice easy find after another beautiful swim at Berry Springs. TFTC

Emptied about 5 cms of water out of this one. Everything was saturated. Added a new piece of paper but think the sodden things in it will soone da,pen that too. Needs maintenance urgently. Thanks.

Quick easy find. Log is completely saturated. TFTC

Thankyou. A lovely end to the day finding this cache at sunset with my kids and their grandad. Grandad's first cache! It's now a family affair. We all enjoyed it.

Gosh it sure gets hot here! Found it quickly and walked to the next one nearby. Thanks heaps...

Found whilst on our way back to Katherine from Darwin. Quick easy find. TNLN, TFTC.

A nice and easy find on our quick trip to the Northern Territory.

Thanks for the cache ...[^]...

Had previously done nearby Howzat but could not see a way in to this one. Back today for a dip at Berry Springs and this time found the track in. The container still had water in it and the contents were soaked. We drained & dried the container and some of the contents but dumped the rest which could not be salvaged. Placed a new temporary log in a zip-lock bag so all is now dry again at least until the next serious wet event. TFTC.

Found the right path, and managed to drive pretty close. Fairly quick find once we were there. Cheers Gav [8892]

Unfortunately this one was 1/6th full of water.

The Cache was very wet, with the container half full of water, looks like it might have been underwater during Cyclone Carlos.

Found the cache although has been inundated during Carlos and container was full of water, drained but the log is waterlogged and may need replacing.

Taking trackable for a visit

Some more trackables just visiting.

The cache notes made interesting reading. We enjoyed the peaceful area of bushland in which the cache is hidden. TNLN. thanks Gibbo003

Took Geocoin - Left A New Pen & Soldier - Signed Log - TFTC!

found easy enough, nice drive by. took soldier,left car. TFTC

Yet another almost drive-by cache. Parked about 3 m away from GZ this time! TNLN. TFTC

Dropped off TePuke ThunderTB

Good to have a reason to find out more about places I live near. Drove past this turn off often but never new where it went! Left TB USNNYW TFTC

Found the spot the night before but had to come back in daylight to spot the cache. beautiful spot! worth the trip. Fascinating place and history.

good hide thanks

A good easy find to start the day.TFTC

Yeah cool spot i hadn't been out this way before

Found behind some vitamin B . Neat hidey hole. Left a tb. Thx Gibbo003 for the cache

got in as the burn off started, quick hunt and sign and then out of there.... atleast it doesn't burn as fast as it does done south
thank you for placing a cache there.

out hunting with JWstorming,

no wading this time like the last log entry.
I have finally seen the perfect use for a VB stubby (and that is not to drink the contents)

Found on a caching day with McRunBecks. Nice location with some WW2 history.Cool cam. L lizzard TN TFTC

A bit of a wade through some shallow water but found it easily.

A simple find after the storm passed over.
The cache is in good condition.

An interesting place and one that is not that visible and the old line must obviously cross the highway a little way towards Darwin.

good hiding spot. first cache for our friend.

Found it during our big holiday around Australia. Thank you all guys for your lovely caches. MaJa from the Czech Republic

Found without any problems. I was being closely watched by a couple of Whistling Kites. I don't think that they will say anything though!

Cache # 38 for our Darwin Holiday. TFTC

Enjoy the history lesson with each of these caches.
Thanks Gibbo

The caching marathon continues (33rd). Found by youngest geodaughter @1710hrs. Found after a short walk through long grass.

T - nothing
L - nothing

SL TFTC

nice easy one for a change thanks

Running out of light at end of day, but this proved a worthwhile find and another bit of history. TFTC Left koala.

I managed to get the little hire car into the right spot and found the cache at 1130hrs. Nicely hidden too, thanks Gibbo.

TFTC

I love a bit of rail history and enjoyed this one.
Glad that dirt road continued to the highway as I wasnt turning in there with the trailer on the back.

tftc!!
Surprisingly when i arrived -with all the places it could have been and being in a hurry (which always seems to make it last longer) I put my hand right on it - well so i thought!! Then i put my hand on it!
Awesome - historically, not much of a scenic spot though!
T a tic tac (rofl)
L the shell necklace from howzat!
And we drove as close as to both spots, hubby hanging to get to Berry springs

Went to the wrong track so turned back to other one. It was found by Ms Bushies2. Thanks gibbo003 for the hide.

Quick walk up from Howzat. Loved how we just ran into the railway line. TFTC. Grabbed the red dice. Left a glow in the dark Dino.

Tricky hide. Took NZ badge, and left red dice

#5 for today on our way to the Litchfield NP. Quick Find

TNLN TFTC JM-Project

Found it and good place for hidden. SL. Thanks gibbo003 for organising the cache and hunt.

2nd find in the general area an again drove to with about 50 metres of the GZ area.

Quick find in an area that was totally muggle free.

Took nothing, left coin and pathtag and TFTC.

Cheers,

Up here for work, on my way to Katherine and grabbing a few caches along the way. Thanks for the historic location, and an easy find without having to walk through the bush. Being from down south, I'm never sure what will bite or sting up here Left a coin that is seeking battlefields, so I brought it up here specially - not many opportunities to find battlefields in Australia.

this one was easy to see when we came up to it.

we hid it so it was less obvious, same location thou

Good hide!

Killed quite a few cane toads!! Bonus:) Ciz's second find of the night! TFTC

Last one for the day. We have just placed some caches in spots just like these in SA. En route to the cache, there seems to be a rather big water leek, which I dont think is meant to be. TFTC

Wonderful hiding place!! We all ha dto look around for a bit till we finally found it!!

TFTH!!

TRUDDERS

hefalumps have driven by this place oblivious to this treasure. Very interesting area TFTH TN L golden compass toy. Middle size hefa has really got a handle on the GPS now. Soon we will hide one of our own!

Isn't too bad strolling around in the bush at this time of year. TFTC TNL a star wars coin.

Another interesting spot just of then main tracks, thanks! TNLN

Nice quick find the day after MUFF1 was there.Thanks.

Glad that we did this one in the dry don't fancy our chances getting the itty bitty little renter in here in the wet. T Bracelet L Soap. TFTC

WanderingAus wandered by on day thirty-six of a 6 month trip Wandering Australia.

My find No 596, LCC, TNLNSL, dropped my WanderingAus Happy New Year 2008 Gold GC in for a visit before grabbing it back again.

We were happy the renter could get close to this one as the weather had become very humid and Diane was not looking forward to a long walk. Instead we had a very short walk to an interesting location. We often wonder why they did not use much of the old rail site as a lot of the work was already in place, but then again we are not engineers.
Thanks gibbo003 for another piece of history.

Good spot nice and high and dry, certainly shouldn't get wet although there was a lot of water around. Good spot thanks for the cache

Rated: for Overall Experience

Nice easy find; didn't leave anything but grabbed some of me treasure back arrrrr. TFTC

Nice easy find after we found the right track, another interesting piece of history.
Took TB for relocation soon.
TFTC

Took a nice early, leisurely, Sunday morning ride to get a couple of rural caches. This is a great spot out of the rat race. Nice easy hide and it is great to see the top end getting back to the more traditional type caches. Great stuff and thanks Gibbo.

Whoops! Was negoitating the tracks to try to find "Howzat" cache, but seem to be getting nowhere close. Stopped to check GPSr yet again, and what's this. The next cache was appearing under our arrow! Oh, what's that to the right of the car.... 10m to the cache.
Bonus to get this one now. But never got close enough to the other. Cache was empty except for one TB and the log / pencil. So added some swag.
Interesting spot to take the 2WD rental car to (shhhhhh!)

Seems Gibbo has a bridge theme happening today, with the old favourite (rocks) thrown in - well and truly dark by the time I got to this one. Thanks for the cache and second FTF so late in the day. TNLN
