Team ICE on a two week geocaching trip in Australia. Our main target was the Red Centre Experience at Alice Springs but of course we did some caching in other places too. We drove from Adelaide to Alice Springs and then back. We saw lots of interesting and beutiful places like opal mines at Coober Pedy, Ayers Rock and Kata Tjuta. Our rental travelled almost 6500km on gravel and tarmac roads. The weather was great, only on last day we got some rain.

All the caches logged as Team Ice, T-ice or Tice with kapeka, laalaa and Hiltsu. We had a great trip!

Today our journey continued from Port Augusta to Coober Pedy and we visited at Woomera on the way. Interesting little town. In the morning we found some caches from Port Augusta and more caches logged on the way. next night we spent in the underground motel.

Thanks for the cache and greetings from Finland!

Found it with TICE [Hiltsu, J&T, kapeka & laalaa]

We had fun with caching few weeks here in Australia ( South Australia and Northern Territory ). Lots of geocaches and many sort of them too. We saw awesome places, weather was good all the time and people were friendly and polite. Caches were pretty similar like in our home country. Of course there were some exeptions. Nice and huge country!

Greetings from Finland!

###Trip to the *Red Centre Experience* 2017###

Unfortunately, half of our team is home-based due to work commitment, the other half is lucky enough to be Alice Springs bound, in the company of Team Indiana08. Therefore, for a couple of weeks, our team will be attending some events and possibly finding the odd cache in different states.

---

Oz Mega 2014 - great memories. Well, the question is no longer relevant, but the cache is still there and asks to be found. And this is what we did.

#6610 - 09:25; Day 9 of the Alice Mega Road Trip with Sol de lune and albida33, so most of the 33 logs for today were signed S.A.L. as a result. After packing up camp, we were on the road again headed to Glendambo via Port Augusta and Pimba along the Stuart Highway, with a detour in to Woomera and Roxby Downs. This was our last stop for a while, just after we turned onto the Stuart Highway, which we will be following now for a couple of weeks right through to Darwin. TFTC OzFiresafe Smile

Now it's off to the Red Center Experience GC6825Z before returning home with skibum1 from America via Broken Hill, Lightning Ridge, Killcoy and Armidale.
