Did not find, lots of leaf litter at site so minimal search for fear of creepy crawlers
Has not been found in over a year but we found a broken torch that looks a year old so that's the closest we are to finding it.
Were new in town so we're out and about doing a familiarization of the local area in readiness for visitors next month. TFTC
Now visiting Darwin after the Red Centre Experience. 
After a few days recuperating, it was time to hit the trail all be it with a late start to the day.
Lunch at the Humpty Doo Tavern and a few more caches before returning to camp.

Our first geocache find just down the road from home
The hint was very cool would have been lost without it

This area is changing fast - thank you for placing this cache for our enjoyment.
Today we explored Humpty Doo and surrounds using geocaching as a guide. Quick find.

Yaaaay! 2nd for the day! Found with Chenoy! Nice camo cache! TFTC!!! A giant nut!!! 
Found it!! 
last find for the weekend with the GF Kym's Adventure we parked on the side of the road and headed to GZ, a quick look around soon had the Cache in hand and log signed. We both thought this cache was not hidden like it probably was originally when it was first made. TFTC

Got it! Finally after a very clever clue, quite some searching, and unyielding persistence from Kingy2010
Yaaaaaaayyyy we found our second one ever.
With thumper57 and slinkyanna. TFTC That was clever.

Tricky one! Went a bit nutty trying to find this one! Well hidden. Thank you
In darwin for a month so trying to grab as many as possible. GPS had me looking in the wrong spot but widening the search scored the hide, cache in good condition. TFTC shadowranger

On our way from Perth to Darwin we saw many great things and places - many of them thanks to geocaching! We thank the owners for sharing their favorite spots with us by hiding their caches!
Today we drove to Humpty Doo to have a look around, check out the shops & find some caches.
Even with a great bit of camo, this was a quick find.
Thanks for the cache, shadowranger.

Todays trip is to pick up caches heading towards Kakadu.
Just a short walk led to the cache. It was easily recognised because of the hint.

Once again I abandoned the geomobile at the side of a road and headed into the bushland 
Not far from the road I reached GZ and began poking for a cache.
The clue had me confused though, because I knew what one of those was and I could not see any here [:o]
I had camped next to one of them last night !!
Not underneath it mind !!
A few minutes into my hunt, I saw something that had come from one of those
Well there had to be a cache in there somewhere.
Ah nuts, there it is [^]
Ha ha ha !!
TFTC
And just after I got back to the geomobile, up turns a work crew of some sort and drives the 4WD down the mown access next to the fence [:o]
Good timing

Found with my good friends Probi1-kenobi but was a bit hesitant with the long grass - all good, found pretty quickly by noticing something not too correct to the surroundings! Well hidden. TFTC
Found with Task Force 70.. Who was out doing his first Darwin cache hunt & was very unsure about trekking about in the long grass. Coaxed him along and a short walk later got a find.

Quick find, we didn't venture into the wetlands any further, it will have to be a dry season activity. Thanks for the cache.
We found the cache and then went to the GC10PC1 to watch the activity on the lagoon. TFTC.

Found during an afternoon of geocaching whilst we are visiting Darwin area.
A short bush bash, cache in hand, very nice camoflage. This is the first time we have seen this sort of camo. Great Work. TNLN. TFTC.
Not too soggy for us today. Started to look and spotted what was out of place and went aha! Then went Doh!, nothing, but then went aha! again. .

Got lucky here, and made a quick find.
The hide has a bit of damage meaning it's difficult to extract the container,
but appreciate the work anyway. Thanks shadowranger for the story too.
