Auf unserer groen Rundreise durch Australien sind Andy-Cayoon und ich heute von Alice Springs aus hier nach Darwin geflogen. Abends war noch Zeit fr einen kleinen Bummel zum War Memorial. Von dieser Stelle aus konnte man auch herrlich den Sonnenuntergang genieen. Auf dem Weg vom Hotel haben wir einen kleinen Abstecher zu diesem Tradi gemacht.We were looking for a nano and we found the nano. No problem. Only a few people around.Thank you for the cache. Meerana and Andy_Cayoon from Germany.

First find while on this trip up here for a week of work. Thankfully there weren't many muggles around so I had the run of the place. After letting my fingers do the searching, it wasn't long before I had the stash in hand at 19:35. Now for some dinner. ??TNLNSL, although a few of our geocoins had a visit to mark the occasion. Thanks corunnaroad. **PS:** The holding mechanism isn't the strongest but hopefully all should be OK.

We've been in the area now for a few days. We've been up, down and around. Mr D doesn't walk so well so I'm the walker for distance, finder is another story. But somehow we move on. Today we leave, yes, we have to go but I'm not gonna miss that heat and humidity. Have been through this area a few times in the evenings ... not the time or place. I knew Sunday morning would be a great time!! And so it was. Woohoo, got it, a pretty easy find. Signing was another story. Squeezed in with someone else again. But done. Tfth dictaham and clan

Up bright and early to enjoy my first day in Darwin after arriving last night on The Ghan.
I love the early mornings of the territory, the smells, the sounds and it is all throwing old memories up for me from what seems like another lifetime.
Being so early, there was nobody around when I found this cache in the heart of Darwin.

Day 68 of our greynomad trip up north from Vic, after a the JLWEvents in Wudinna SA, a tour of Maralinga and caching to claim LGAs in the Eyre Peninsula, through to Allice Springs, Uluru and now Nth NT, we have finally escaped the southern weather that has been wet and windy. Not sure that we are acclimatised to the northern heat yet as we are feeling it by early afternoon, but out sightseeing and caching in the morning. It is also day 67 of a streak, so we would like to keep it rolling.

Took hubby to go crabbing today and my goal is to find the cache types required for this months challenge. I managed all but the event. Had breakfast at nearby non fast food restaurant and thankfully muggles had moved on.

Darwin to Adelaide Road Trip
Day Two: Darwin and surrounds.
Weather: cooler than I was expecting.

I passed by here yesterday and there were just too many people around for me to be able to do what was needed to get the cache. Today I’m up at 0500, and with this being a short walk from the hotel, I’m back to finish the job. Just had to wait for a gap in the passing garbage trucks, and all so easy when there are no witnesses.

Thanks for this hide corunnaroad.

After an amazing few weeks exploring the NT and parts of WA, it’s time to head home, but we have a few days in Darwin beforehand, and of course we have to cache around in that time! We’ve had a great time this trip finding some amazing caches, and Darwin was no different!

After visiting crocosaurus cove nearby, we walked over here on our way back to the accomodation, quick find thanks to hint although coords aren’t very good.

Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache corunnaroad!
