Whatwillaroodo? Delamere, Northern Territory, Australia
By Lumpyjrb on 24-Mar-13. Waypoint GC48B0V

Got to hate it when the vandals destroy GZ.

No luck here looks like the hide as well as the cache is gone.

Que lastima

To hot to search for more than 3 minutes... didnt found it

I guess it's gone. May be a previous finder or cache owner can check.

No luck for us today

Looked where we thought it should be and where gps was taking us but no luck

tftc,

Today is day 22 of an adventure that will take me around Australia with a group of trackables. My caches visited can be tracked by checking out the Key Ring using the code TB4P4C1.

Back on the bitumen after 3 days of dirt. Another 3 days and we will have over a week of it again. We will enjoy this bit of highway driving. It's the places people take you to with their cache placements that inspires you to explore our great Country.

Container is now a dark golden colour, but the log is fine.

As a part of my contribution to helping make the "Easter 2017 Red Centre Experience" GC6825Z a great Event, I will be leaving a card in every cache that is large enough to take it. This card provides a number for a trackable so you can "Discover me". There is also the Web page address "red.ozmega.com.au".
Happy caching.

Quick find, signed log and replaced. thanks to Lumpyjrb.

Easy find. I'm pleased I could reach it. A fire was here, but the cache is okay, although the paper appeared perhaps heat affected, but it's fine. TFTC Lumpyjrb.

Took us some time to grab it because of the muggles.TFTC

As we pulled into the area they commenced a burn off right near the cache, so much ash and smoke we didn't even try for the cache.

Our current visit to Australia had been in the planning for over a year with the very significant help and advice from friends who live in Melbourne. The original plan was for a 2 month visit, but as things progressed we just couldn't help extending our trip to the full 90 days allowed on our visas - after all it's a big country and so much to see and do, especially with our favourite pastimes being birding, hiking and of course geocaching! Our journey started with our arrival at Perth airport followed by a day cycling around Rottnest Island before travelling on to Adelaide where we met up with our friends. We then continued on to spend some time on Kangaroo Island, before heading to Melbourne via Goolwa, Strathalbyn, Coorong, Mount Gambier, Cape Bridgewater, the Grampians National Park, Port Campbell, Cape Otway and Lorne, cramming in as much as possible on route. The second leg of our journey was a fabulous 9 days in Tasmania. Having then returned to Melbourne we set off on the third leg of our journey, which was to Sydney via Wilson’s Promontory, Lakes Entrance, Mallacoota, Pambula Beach, Thredbo, Canberra and Fitzroy Falls. We then spent a few days in Sydney with geocaching friends efore flying on to the Gold Coast for the fourth leg of our travels, that included visits to Lamington National Park, Noosa and an overnight trip out to Fraser Island. We then flew from Brisbane to Cairns, where we spent a couple of nights before heading out to the birding hotspots of Yungaburra and Daintree. Following on from a visit to Cape Tribulation we turned to Port Douglas. After a day out on the Great Barrier Reef we returned to Cairns for the flight to Alice Springs and the fifth leg of our travels, which was a wonderful week driving the circuit to and from Ayers Rock in our 4x4 camper. On returning to Alice Springs we then flew on to Darwin, where we picked up another 4x4 camper. We are currently making our way towards Broome via Kakadu, Cooinda, Katherine Gorge, Kununarra, Lake Argyle, Emma Gorge, the Bungle Bungle’s and Fitzroy Crossing. Our last two nights in Australia will be spent in Broome before we fly back to Perth, from where we will connect with the flight all the way back home to Zimbabwe via South Africa. We already know we can't wait to return!

This was a nice quick find at Ground Zero. Thanks so much for the cache.

Quick find while making our way west. TFTC

Heading up the West Coast to the V8's in Darwin grabbing caches along the way. TFTC.

Found with vj187 but had not logged it. TFTC

Found with 2011*turtle. We had to look further than our gps had indicated and found eventually. TFTC.

Tftc

Tftc. Scroll is wet, the o-ring on the container (which is different to the picture uploaded previously) may need replacing/maintenance including a new o-ring for the container.

a car was parked on top of it and it didn't look like they were going to leave. so mube mext time

Tftc

Checked cache and replaced log.

The big move from Townsville to Mandurah WA. 5000km and lots of caches!:) After the geocaching event in Katherine, the next driving stint to Kununurra has begun!
Using the opportunity to collect some caches along the highway in order to get out of the car and stretch the legs.


tftc sl tnln

Early morning start to Katherine found us bleary eyed as we packed up the camper and headed out, not to far up the track I comment that there is a cache ahead. Ok with nick happy to make a early morning stop we pull into the truck stop. I read the description and eager for the find Mr nick hop's out of the car and strolls over to the sign..... Well he pretty much ended up on top of it with the sounds of howling and pain. And the exclamation of Double Gs! He had unknowingly strolled threw a nice big patch of them and was now monkey bar hanging poor thing! Couldn't help but laugh as I plucked them from both feet and found him his thongs ...had us both laughing.

We then made the find and signed the log.

Thanks for the cache

And next traveller beware.

Needed TOTT for extraction. TFTC. Found on our great Aussie Road Trip heading West

I have no idea where this one is. The co-ords took us to a sign but the sign is missing.

A very sneaky hide Lumpyjrb. While we were
endeavouring to retrieve it, a car pulled up and
the lady driver asked if we were ok. We told her
we were and thanked her for her kindness.
Signed the log and replaced exactly as found...

Little Squirell

We knew where it had to be but getting there wasn't easy. Fortunately we found a "tool" nearby and with some patience and muscles it worked out in the end.

Very smokey trip this morning on the road but still managing to grab a few caches. TFTC

Tftc sl. Found easy enough except for all the muffles that kept stopping.

Out with Team Robins, finding a few caches as we walk for Walk for Life Around Az

Just visiting

12193 caches found

Thanks for the cache Lumpyjrb

Whatwillaroodo??? Well, it will probably sit on the side of the road and when you get close they jump out at you

Love the name of this cache. a good hide. TFTC

Grey Nomading and caching our way up the middle , across to the west, down to Perth and home to Adelaide for Xmas. T.F.T.C.

Another stretch for Griffo,but he soon had the cache in hand Tftc

TFTC Lumpyrjb

On our way to Kununurrausing geocaching as a guide. Easy find.

Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.

TFTC

Found above average head height but managed to retrieve it. TFTC.

Quick find on the way to Vic River.tftc

4:41:00 PM. Thought this wouldn't be here as only the frame work is left. A bit of a feel around found the cache. Signed log and returned. Thanks Lumpyjrb for placing this cache.

Had to get geowife up on the shoulders to get it.
Excellent cache.
Thanks.

Ahhh. Another Lumpy's height cache!! But we had this sorted straight away. The truck up to GZ and climb on the bullbar. No probs for us at all here!! Huge rock. How cool! TFTC Lumpy's.

I am 5' so can imagine the challenge ..what a laught .geohubby had the log in hand sign & put back just as a truck & 2 4x4 pulled up ..so we were outta there ....yes Lumpyjrb you are testing us hahahaha TFTC

Easy if you are not height challenged!

[Teal]As we head from town to town as part of our "Purposeful Meander around Oz" the Rats and the Mini Rats found this cache. Dad did most of the hard work here, the detail of our find can be found in the Rats log. Sorry for the duplicate log but it takes nothing away from the find.

Thanks for being part of our great adventure.

A quick n grab while heading west.

Thanks for being part of our great adventure.

Had to climb on the window sill to get up as it was pushed so far in I needed a tool to get it out. I left it a little more acceptable this time. Log good.

This was another find in Northern Territory while crossing Northern Territory and Western Australia from Darwin to Perth on Gibb River Road through the Kimberlys. During this 8500km journey we've met many nice and friendly people [^], visited countless marvelous places, saw lots of interesting local wildlife (and plants), took some 2500 pictures home and logged some 300 Caches .

Cacheator Mom gave everything to find this one .

Thanks for the cache, we've enjoyed it very much [^].

No joy with this one today.

Read the logs, drove up to the obvious spot, leaned out the big rig driver's window, pushed, pulled and twisted where it just HAD to be. It wasn't. Got a meat skewer out of the cutlery drawer. THAT sorted it quickly. TFTC Lumpyjrb.

There's a new log already in place, courtesy of Roosterman (I think).

Been trying to come up with a smart reply for "Whatwillaroodo", but the cupboard is bare.

Encountered some friends at GZ who lived in Katherine at the same time as we did, some 35 years ago. In those days in this area, the road was a single lane and after the wet season the spear grass was so high it was like driving through a tunnel!

[Blue]# 9996 Found on the NT leg of our S.K.I.D.R.O. adventure.[/Blue]
A drive day from Katherine to Timber Creek for a stopover!
Hardly any muggles around and some good quick finds.
This was a stretch but I had the right equipment handy.
Thanks for the cache Lumpyjrb,

Quick find on our way west. Lucky Mr Ski has the reach for this one. There is not much left at the location, but the cache is still safely tucked away.
TFTC

Found on our Australientour. TFTC

looked around and thought well it must be here. Took hubby to get it but it's a smiley for us. TFTC

Thanks for the notice re log John. I will be out there in a couple of weeks to check the caches so will replace the log. In the mean time please be patient folks!

TFTC
Easy find on a motor cycle trip from Darwin to Kununurra.
Log almost full so if a kind geocacher has this one in their sights please arrive prepared.
Cheers

A sneaky hide as there was not much around. Thanks

I thought I'd logged this find but oibviously not. It was quite an adventure with, not one but two of the local constabulary giving me the evil eye as they drove past. TFTC

we tried to log, but the paper was in a really bad shape, so we add a photo as logproof. TftC!

Found this one with Katzenfreund8 on the way from Darwin to Perth. We were not able to log on the paper (see picture from Katzenfreund8). Tftc!

Approaching this one I thought something is missing.... fortunately it wasn't the cache.

Wow its hot today! Felt the burn as I jumped out to find the cache.
Took only a moment to locate as I jumped up to have a look.
TFTC

The first new cache we found on our trip from Darwin to Perth.
Thanks for the break! T&M

Good quick find on our way west. TFTC

Found, while travelling west on our second trip around Australia.
Surprised this one was still here as its camo is slightly damaged.
Thanks for the cache, Lumpyjrb.

Great photo opportunity here with a 3 dog cattle crate parked up at the monument. Had to wait for the army personnel in the Thrifty rent a cars to finish there smokes and head off. Cache all ok. Thanks for another one Lumpyjrb.

We found this cache during our trip from Broome to Darwin. As we did not have any internet connection in this beautiful but remote area, we could only log it after having returned to Switzerland. Many thanks to the owner, it was fun.

Of course it will
There had been plenty of evidence of Willaroo behaviour scattered along the highway this morning as I drove west.
At least the black kites have lots of food and their numbers seem to reflect the fact that they thrive on man's habit of leaving plenty of scraps and carrion lying around
I quickly found the cache next to the monolith, on the “once was a sign” [^]

TFTC.

We have not had an internet service since leaving Kununurra so these are being logged a little late.
The co-ords seemed a little out for us but there are not too many places to hide a cache here.
Thanks Lumpyjrb

Cunning hiding spot TFTC

TFTC

stopped for a rest and the cache
Thanks

Easy find on our way from Halls Creek to Darwin via the roads less travelled: The Duncan Road and Buntine Highway. TFTC Lumpyjrb.

Parked and grabbed and hid it again.

Found it on our way to Kathrine and had a quick lunch. Thanks lumpyjrb for the cache.

Found as part of our 5 week trip from Adelaide to Lawn Hill and then onto the Territory.

Apologies for the late logs but Vodafone doesn't cover much of that part of the world.

We found 109 and had 10 dnfs, some more than once.

Allison went off to read the monument and I did the cache.

TFTC

With a grass fire closing in on GZ, it was a quick retrieval and off.

Sneaky little fellow.

TFTF

With Mrs one-eyed , our 4wd and caravan in tow, stopped by this famous intersection for the long distance cattle trucks, took photos of the rock monument, most impressed.
The road is partially bitumen for 300kms then for the next 550kms gravel.
TFTC

First to Find ! - love the new shiny cache.
