WanderingAus wandered by on day 40 of our annual Climatic Refugee trip, after dropping the WanderingMrs (aka SWMBO) at the stop for the free Casino Bus I had almost 6 hours of caching time available. I decided today would be the day I claimed my 3,700th find, and I had chosen GC1ZPFJ Zena's Walk by reasonjo, GC234PC Look out there! - Fish! by denisjoh, GC1JQ5M Right..Left..Middle Arm by Hefalumps and GA2010 Gas for the Future by Denisjoh & Robjoh as the possible 3,700th find.

Before I could claim that I needed another 12 finds, and this was the sixth for the day.

TomTom had me a long way from GZ on the wrong side of the water, and wanted me to follow a long walk trail, so I looked at the Magellan Explorist 610 to show me the roads near the cache. I parked fairly close, then headed towards GZ and made a very quick and easy GAFF 0 find of the cache.

The log scroll was full, so I took the liberty of replacing it. If the cache owner wants me to put it somewhere in particular I will, otherwise I'll put it in the next dbanksy cache I find that has the space for it.

My find No 3693, TNLNSL, 6 more to go before the milestone find.

*Recommended* *Overall Experience: 2*

I found the cache at the opposite end from where I started, naturally... Surprised Trere was four ducks along the fenceline of the nearby dwelling. Lookind very happy with themselves for some reason... Maybe they knew where the cache was... Wink

Cheers dbanksy.

I may have to rewrite my previous did not find. I have touched 'virtually' every square mm of the GZ.
What a sneaky spot. I have logged 1 did not find but in reality it took me 4 goes!. Eyes and Fingers are required for this cache!!
 
18-Jan-11
Found it quick enough even if the co-ords were off 5 metres. TFTC
 
16-Jan-11
Pretty much touched every square inch of anything metallic. Could not find it. I even thought there may have been fake bolts (I have seen one before, quite clever) however no luck.

Must visit the trackable I got started in memory of this cache being my First EVER FTF.

Oh this one was just mean...... Found it after grabbing a friend and two nearby caches. Local ducks were quite interested in us as were local kids. Probably though we were homeless........ TFTC

I have spent the last few days lazing about in the spa at my sister-in-law's house (the newly weds & entire purpose for our trip to Darwin). With each sip of refreshing holiday lager, I have gazed across the pond/lake thinking "I betchya it's over there - it's gotta be!...[?]).

So tonight we wandered out the back gate and around the edge of the pond - 2 geo-kids in PJ's and their mother keen to get at least one in before heading back to Alice at the crack of sparrows the next day.

Found quickly by the mob from Alice (well, we sat back so they could have the fun). We sat for a moment looking across the water and realised that we definitely do need to shut our blinds at night! lol. Red Face

TFTC! Cool

20:30 (found with ywurry): On the trip with my geo-niece we noted this GZ, but was more interested in small or regular GZ that contain possible treasures for my niece. This was a short walk from my sister and brother-in-law's house, so we decided to set of as a geo-family and quickly locate the GZ. My other geo-sister quickly had the GZ in hand.

Another find for geoboy on second attempt. Don't know how we missed it on the first attempt. Guess we'll blame Nanna.
 
13-Jul-10
Great little hide in an obvious spot. I found this while on a visit to Darwin staying with relatives close by. TFTC
 
13-Jul-10
No ducks about but found the cache easy enough, nice park and TFTC.

The duck's were out having their luncheon's today... but there was a mean looking goose (feathered variety) about. Muggle's nearly got me at one stage but I outlasted them. TFTC

Found as team SaintsMadHouse, and now that I am an adult, I have my own account and will log with this.Wooohooooo, My first FTF!! Knew this one was up yesterday but couldnt get over there till after work today, nearly did an early morning one, but I know how busy it is with the muggles. Knowing dbanksy, I actually thought they would send me swimming, but they settled for making me beg. Take a moment to enjoy the spot as it really is lovely and peaceful here.
