Searched everywhere but didn't find it. Probably didn't search enough though, since it took the last logger three days. Will come back another time.
Took me three goes to find this cache. Luckily I was staying nearby and it was just a short walk to ground zero. Clever hide that was not in the first place I looked.Today was the day to find this cache. Today is Sol's day the second day of the septimus month of the Roman calender in the wonderful year of twenty twenty four. We found your cache container and added some inky stuff to the paper sheet or note pad you have supplied for a log book or scroll. The cache container and log book or scroll were in good condition. It was a lot hotter today. Still no wind today.With the log signed and the cache replaced it was time to leave. Onwards to the next cache. Woot, that is not to far.I would like to show my respect and acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the Land, and their continuing connection to it. I wish to pay my respects to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures; and to Elders past, present and emerging.I will apologize right now, because everything from here on is here solely for the purpose of padding the word count and winning that one hundred word diamond badge again. Somebody moved the goal posts. So many caches to find. So many caches to log. We find them, sign them and replace them.This particular geocache was found using one of the following GPS enabled devices, Garmin GPSr, Montana 680t, Oregon 650 or Dakota 20 and an Apple iPhone 11 using the marvelous Cachly app. Waypoints and paperless geocaching were downloaded via GSAK 9. Log prepared, checked and submitted using GSAK publish logs macro.Warning, this hobby can be addictive. It can lead to exercise, meeting new people and finding interesting places you might not have known existed otherwise. Beware: you may have fun. Apologies for the generic part of the cache log. We do apologise for the generic logs. Thanks to all the cache owner for placing this cache here for our enjoyment.Thanks for the cache. Merci la cache. Danke fr den Cache. Gracias por el cach.

We found your cache today 21 July 2024 3:08pm , while enjoying another day in our beautiful countryside. TFTC corunnaroad
Took a bit, but remembering this is where I would hide a cache had me reaching successfully for the prize! My one and only the Darwin. Tftc.
Coming yesterday from Norfolk Island via Sydney, I stayed at an airport hotel nearby. Today I continued to Dili East-Timor. Before that I was able to find this geocache. Thanks for the cache and greetings from Germany, Peter M. PS: Being in Darwin 30 years ago
Had the lovely gentleman point this out to me after he saw me pull up. Probably wouldve taken a while otherwise!TFTC
Interesting this one that people who cant find it demand I change the rating ( a cacher who had only found 13 and hasn't found one since ) and give hints ( That person hasn't found any). It has been found often enough for the rating to stay as is and I don't believe hints are needed.
Harder to find than expected!! Change the difficulty to a two! Had a man who lived close by give us the hint as hed seen many drive past!!
Headed over to Darwin for a break with tmann421.Really enjoying the weather and the challenges of the hides.Logs signed tm/ww NZNice quick find here.Thanks to the cache owner for their efforts
Nice find with woolwood9 today. Day 4 of our 9 days in and around Darwin. SL *tm/ww NZ* *Thanks for the reason to visit the area!* Another good quick stop for the cache.
Third time we came here I told my dad to check the spot and when he did we found it. Glue was coming off so we put silicone on it and we put tape to keep the cache on. P.S you can take off the tape if you find it.
Quick cheeky grab after work, introducing my Mum to Geocaching thanks for placing and maintaining this one Corunnaroad
Day 67 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 66 of a streak, so we would like to keep it rolling.
A bit of caching around Jingili and a visit to BCF and Spotlight on the agenda today. We'd had a look for this one yesterday from the wrong side, but as we were in the area we had another go today. Knew we had to stretch, but confident we had ruled out where the cache wasn't. Grabbed a TOTT to look into darker spaces, and that TOTT ultimately became the tool to reveal the real hide.

Today is my second last day in Darwin visiting family and also geocaching. Today I decided to look for caches along Rapid Creek and was passing by this one.
I have been here a couple of times before and not found it but with a bit more caching experience, I decided to have another go. Like others, I had mainly been looking at the wrong object. Even though I had looked previously at the place I found it today, I obviously didn’t look well enough. I persevered a bit more today and was delighted to find the cache. I’ve seen this type many times.
The container is a bit loose so the CO may need to re-glue it. Really glad to remove that blue face. Tftc

###Cache Maintenance Visit Required please.###
This geocache has been brought to my attention as needing an Owner Maintenance visit, as the logs indicate that it is most likely missing, or else some other problem exists with the cache. See the [GCHQ Health Score](https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=38&pgid=713) process.
I agree that it certainly seems necessary to have it checked by the Cache Owner.
The cache owner needs to:
* Take action to restore the cache or address issues such as correcting the D/T rating.
* Re-enable the cache by posting an Enable log
* Post an Owner Maintenance log to advise what has been done and to clear any Needs Maintenance attribute which is present.
Otherwise :
* Post a Note Log to request more time if necessary or provide other information..
**Do not use an Owner Maintenance log for this. That is for use only **when you actually do something to repair the cache**.
Alternatively:
* Archive the cache, and remove any remaining geo-litter from the site.
In the meantime, I've temporarily disabled the cache page to await owner action by corunnaroad and to take it off the playing board to prevent further geocaching community inconvenience.
[Please see the maintenance section of the Geocache Hiding Guidelines.](https://www.geocaching.com/play/guidelines?expand=1#cachemaintenance)
**I will check back in 30 days** to see that action has been by the CO.
If nothing has happened, I will assume that the cache has been abandoned, and, unfortunately, I will need to Archive this cache.
*Caches archived because of lack of maintenance/abandonment will not be unarchived.*
The Geocaching Community needs to have a degree of certainty that a cache is in good condition, waiting to be found, and the CO has a responsibility to maintain their caches.
Please see [my profile page](https://www.geocaching.com/p/default.aspx?u=Balayang) for additional information.

Came here with my cousins hoping to find it would be easy it was not. Ps good job to the creator.
Took a little bit but was quite the stretch to retrieve this cache. Located and signed
Thanks for the cache

Found it with Low1 on dusk near a cemetery where people are dying to get in! Couldn't help ourselves. Oh no zombie apocalypse...
TFTC Lightbulb moment - finally found. Thank you for hiding. With thanks heaps to geo buddy Jot205
Spending a few days in the area. Thanks for hiding this cache and giving us the opportunity to explore .
Nothing quite like rectifying a five year old DNF. Today of course I looked in the same spots I looked last time and seeing nothing again, I put those five years of experience to work and nailed it straight up. Pleased to have this blue frown off my map!
Certainly didn’t find anything here.
I checked the usual spots without any luck.
Maybe another time.

First day in Darwin and out picking up a few smiley’s.
This one had us looking in all the wrong places at first, but we soon had the prize in hand.

Great hide which seems to have fooled many others as well as me. Was looking in the wrong spot until something slihtly out of place caught my eye. A favourite for ingenuity! TFTC. Geotag coin dropped.
I was not far in to a run when I stopped off to grab this cache. It was exactly where I thought it might be, so it was a very quick find. Nice little hide. No sign of a pub here now!
I found this sneaky cache much harder than the D/T rating might suggest - it took me quite a few visits to eliminate every possibility until eventually I had the cache in hand. Whew - so glad to finally make this a smiley. TFTC corunnaroad.
Took ages of staring after finding a qr code quite close but eventually found it.
Happy to find this cache quiet difficult it was pure luck that I found it. First cache since flying in from Toowoomba
As we made our way through the outback finding caches and having a great time
we found a range of caches some day with Team Cracker, Felix II and firesafe on the way home.
Thanks to corunnaroad for placing the cache for us to find.

Now visiting Darwin after the Red Centre Experience.
First day out and about for Mrs Felix since knee surgery last week. Mr Felix did all the hard work most of the day, only when some extra encouragement was needed did she lend a hand.
Managed to enjoy some beach views and even have Fish n Chips for lunch.
Pretty warm and steamy by the afternoon. so we called it quits before it got too late.
Soo many micro's today, guess we are in the city again. [B)]
Replaced the full logsheet here.

#7080 - 10:00; Day 21 of the Alice Mega Road Trip with Sol de lune, albida33 and fitzy_1965, so signing logs as A.L.F.S. We had now reached Darwin, our most northerly port, after attending the Red Centre Experience event in Alice Springs. Today we planned to do some more caching in and around Darwin before heading out for a run to the Cox Peninsula to Wagait. A much better day today with 59 finds and only half as many DNFs, 5. All caches we located were in good order, including this one. TFTC corunnaroad
Alice trip 2017. Day 19. Today Sol de Lune, Luckyl10n, Fitzy_1965 and I had a second day around Darwin, but we also went out to wagait beach along the Route 34 series, we even went though a fire.
Thanks.

13537. Next find of Day 11 of the Red Centre Experience Roadtrip. In Darwin.
I flew into Alice Springs to meet up with my caching mates Sol de Lune, Albida33 and LuckyL10n (signing mostly as ALFS) to attend the Red Centre Experience and then venture up north to Darwin and then east into Qld before heading south for home - a three week caching trek.
Next stop for the day. Quick find at GZ. Signed the log, replaced the cache, and it was off to the next cache.
TNLN - TFTC !!

Day 3 of our (fitzy_1965, LuckyL10n, albida33 and myself) stay in Darwin. A good day out and about with fewer DNF's than yesterday.
The ones we found were a mixture of micro's and small and a lot were in interesting places. Caching in the NT is different to the southern states, so a day of 40 odd is a good return....especially with a bit of sightseeing thrown in as well.
Thanks for all the caches owners and the fun in grabbing them.

Day 2 of our run around town and we managed a few DNF's as well as our finds. This was another DNF added to the listed.
Thanks anyway.....

Was looking in the wrong area at first, but eventually found it. Log book's full and needs replacing. Thanks for the hide and hello from Townsville.
So second time around after some muscle building exercise, walked to the stretch. TFTC
DNF. Failed to see anything that could possibly be moved. Did however find some other tracking inventory device.
In the afternoon was a bit time to go by bike for caching.
Here i was last year several times without a found.
This year i need two times for the right idea. For me it was terrain two.
TFTC!!

Took us a while before we both checked it out yeah gotcha!! Thanks for the cache. Greetings from Kununurra W.A.
Vanavond waren we op bezoek bij een show van ons nichtje en daar bleek dat onze auto bijna bij de cache geparkeerd stond, zat alleen een hek tussen. Dus na afloop even de moeite genomen om er heen te rijden en op zoek te gaan naar de cache.
We zagen dat al twee andere cachers de cache niet konden vinden en daardoor waren we een beetje bang dat het ons in het donker ook niet zou lukken maar het was een fluitje van een cent. We hadden direct door waar te zoeken.
Bedankt voor het plaatsen van deze cache.

Hahaha found it. Kept looking at the place but was like. Nooooo can't be. So I tried it and BAM there it was.
Having just arrived I thought that I would grab a couple of caches whilst I had a walk around the area. I managed to grab this before the heavy rain fell. TFTC.
Found fairly quickly by us. Nice hide this one.
We're slowly getting through this series of caches.

Needs new log as previous full. I have added a piece of paper.

Always good to turn a DNF into a smiley! I have been trying this one on and off for months...this would probably be the 6th time I have tried. I have pushed and pulled and moved all sorts of things and still couldn't come up with the goods. So on my way home I thought I might as well try again. Looked in one spot...nope....then the next...hey that moves...and suddenly a cache was in hand! I'm so sure I have looked near here before but no....because I would have seen that...oh well maybe my caching senses are just starting to get some fine tuning in! Finally....TFTC!!
