This cache looks as though it's long gone. Has not been found in eight months. Structure looks as though it's been hit by a car. CO needs to check on this cache.
In darwin for a month so trying to grab as many as possible. Another good hide, cache in good condition. TFTC Its_Jaymay

We walked up and found this cache out in the open. Quickly put it back together as best we could and hid as good as this one could be. It might need CO attention to ensure we have put it where it is suppose to be. TFTC
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.
On the 26/7/2012, we found the remnants of this cache, on our first trip around Australia.
Today we found a cache, and were able to sign the log.
Thanks for the cache, Its_Jaymay.

Well the cache notes make no sense
Even a bit of Googling the Interweb has not thrown up any sci-fi series that the notes may refer to [:o]
Not even IMDB has been able to help
So ignorant of what I was actually looking for or which planet in which Universe at what time it was supposed to exist, I searched for the cache.
Well that would be it !!
Easy find inside "The Pod".
Alas no markings to tell me which mothership it belongs too
Someone explain !!!!!

Found with my good friends Probi1-kenobi and our third cache for the day. Needs a little TLC, there is no paper for the log anymore. New to NT for a little while and had a look around Humpty Doo, TFTC.
Found with Task force 70. Quick easy find after a fantastic lunch at the Humpty Doo Hotel. Dropped off cassaday TB to continue Aussie adventure.

Another cache we found a few weeks ago but forgot to log. Pretty sure this thing couldn't have been there when we looked a while ago for this, couldn't be our old eyes surely.

Cache still in Drovers' hiding place with log book and las remaining figure. TFTC.
Well, this is becoming a recurring theme. I too found the two container bits strewn around, put them together, added paper and put it back. I see that it subsequently happened again 2 days later.....
Found bits of the cache, note book (words washed out), small soldier & calling card. Put together and tucked it at bottom wooden ledge of bus stand.
Found and logged at 11:00,
9 caches 0n my fifth day of day sightseeing in Darwin
A verry quick find today
Note the log is verry wet
Thanks Its Jaymay

Had a good look but no luck for us today. There is a lot of very fresh graffiti all over this (with spray cans still lying around).
Nice easy find in such a well used location..... Great to see the green & gold colours near by ..... Thanks Pheonixrider 4TC:)
A quick find, expected a harder cache but surprised this one does not get muggled, TFTC
Found no trouble regadless of the space travel conotations in the notes. It is amazing that this cache has not been muggled T a crocadile L a garnet TFTC Garnets
Could easily have been a drive by cache. Took WCE badge and left crocodile. TFTC.
WanderingAus wandered by on day 33 of our annual Climatic Refugee trip, after dropping the WanderingMrs (aka SWMBO) at the stop for the free Casino Bus I had about 6 hours of caching time available. After hunting down GC12DXE Beatrice by Beagle Team near The Window to The Wetlands I started working my way back towards Darwin.
As I got close to Humpty Doo I made a very quick and easy GAFF 0 find of the cache.
My find No 3661, LCC, TNLNSL, dropped Catalunya Geocoin 2009 (ref = TB2VT57), Coconut Monkey (ref = TBKCQ8), FreeAgents Micro-Organism Geocoins (ref = TB2NHRK), Geo Quakobert Jr. (ref = TB3CR63), Phonebox TB (ref = TB27P3G), Team Lisa Geocoin #1 (ref = TB2M9VQ), Travel Racer Formula (ref = TB3FFCT), my WanderingAus Happy New Year 2008 Gold GC and my WanderingAus GeoMobile TB in for a visit before grabbing them back again.

found in the company of Angel and Sian. The log was very damp so we replaced it with a new one. TFTH TNLN
Even though the container is slightly exposed, it did take me a couple of minutes to find it.....Doh!
Someone had sprayed the side with "Go Blues" referring to the NSW state of origin on the previous night. Bad luck!
Thanks Pheonixrider123.

easy enough find, as its highly visable to all, the log is wet and soggy(didnt have a replacement with me), does need checking by the owner.

I suggest the CO find a better place to hide this cache... and remove the wet and soggy "old" log from the systema container.
An easy find as the cache was in a puddle in the middle of the area. On opening, it was FULL of water, the log a sorry soggy mess, the parachutes mouldy, the chain on the TB gone rusty....
Cleaned and dried out the cache container, placed a new log in the box in a plastic bag, threw out the mouldy bits, dried out the swaps and replaced the "log".
Took the GC and the TB. TFTC

FTF. Am concerned this won't last long as very exposed considering area would be used by younger muggles throughout the day, Could see it from the car-maybe needs to be taken away from that particular spot.Difficulty and terrain definitely not 2 stars.Took TB.
