A quick find for kiwinic and myself here today on our way home to Albany from Darwin. TFTC

TFTC.....what a beautiful picnic area.

Found at 3:57 PM GAFF1.We were wondering if we could take our van down to the beach as we were just passing through - and we could Stopped at GZ and started to look in the obvious spot and nothing was there, then thought of going to another obvious spot, but before leaving p-pprass decided to check out a T2.5 location (even thought the cache is rated a lowly T1.5) and there it was - deep in the bowels of the nook Thanks to LumpyjrbFeedback: The T rating is way under stated for this placement, as the rock is no longer adequate or has shrunk, or has been replaced.

It's great how alot of caches survive bushfires. Had no idea this picnic area existed till today. Tftc!

After spending a few days in Kununurra we hit the road again with iluvtrekking as we headed to Darwin with one overnight stop enroute. We were stunned by the amazing vistas we saw along the way - truly breathtaking. We replaced the plastic bag with a container we had on hand - at least it will stay dry. Just got back in the car and was pulling away when s long black snake came out from gz and quickly darted away again .Later told it was a snake common in the area - a whip snake. Thanks Lumpyjrb

Travelling from Perth to Darwin and beyond with richlink enjoying the spectacular scenery and interesting locations of offer. We just miss a big blac snake. Thanks Lumpyjrb

NB: deteriorated containers and logbook are replaced where possible.

We travel from Darwin to Perth. On our way we passed Timber Creek and found this remote area, We were not alone, but the wallaby did probably not like our company, TFTC

A quick find. Thank you

Found pink container remnants. Put a zip lock bag & log as a replacement for the owner.

On my way to Perth via Broome with a few detours for LGAs. TFTC.

Found remnants of container.
Needs maintenance.

Could only find remnants of container small sistema with pink seal under lid.

Catching up on some late logs, now that I have time while travelling.

We are on the road travelling up through central Australia and down the coast of W.A. I hope to grab a few caches along the way.

Found what was left of the cache.


Thanks for placing this cache and doing the maintenance needed, so we can enjoy finding it.

TFTC good to see it’s still there as it hadn’t been found for awhile. Walking the Heritage Trail

A nice walk on a blazingly hot day so happy to find a cache. TFTC

What a top spot

TFTC SL Visited Hickey's Beach on15/6. Too much wildlife for swimming here. Cache container needs to be replaced. I shall have to beef up the bits and pieces that I carry. Perhaps a future cacher will have something. Thanks for bringing us here.

Found it
Yay the fingers found the cache

Really fun to find

Kurz überwunden. Dann rein gegriffen. Tftc

Today our tour - which began in Perth, WA , and led us thru Western, Northern and Southern Australia back to Perth, was simply driving from Timber Creek (NT) to Litchfield NP.


On the way we came to some interesting locations. Here we searched, found and logged this Tradi-Cache.

Weather was good in the morning and it should even get better during the day.

Thanks to 'Lumpyjrb' for showing us this location, for the fun we had with 'Hickys Beach' and for the smiley. The search here and today didn't take too much time, fortunately.

Greetings from Germany and we hope to see you soon in the forest, prairie, desert or outback .

TFTC - easy find

it was fun but there was no rock

Tftc

Hope you're feeling better today

Found on our round Aus Trip with Discover OZ

After leaving my muggle friends at the Rock, it was time to head north and now west and get a bit of caching down on the way to my final destination.
After spending the night at the NP it was time to fuel up as I was running nearly on fumes, only 3 litres left.
A nice spot with some water for a swim.
Left a PT for the next finder.
Thanks TFTC.

Found on a stroll through Timber Creek. TFTC

After a bit of looking around and then referring to the saved maps on the iPad we found the road into this location. Mal Garmin did not have the road, and kept on wanting us to go off-road!
We decided it was a good place to have lunch so while Mrs SKI did the preparations Mr Ski went off and found the flood proof cache.
A nice hide in a nice spot.
Thank you for bringing us here!

The Big Western Australia trip in 2018. Day 13. The road again continued West to Timber Creek and then Kununarra, plenty of roadside stops in the hyper long grass along the way.

The tricky bit here was finding the way down to the picnic area. No problems with the cache.

Thanks.

What a great place to stop over and see the sights, chic watching, abundant of bats and beautiful country

Our last find in Timber Creek before heading west again.

Cache was found quickly by the Cat in a lovely location.

Thank you for placing this cache here for our enjoyment.

Happy geocaching and greetings from Switzerland

Hi there Lumpyjrb - today is a driving day from Katherine to Timber Creek. The trip was pleasant for the most part but the temperature rose after lunch and even with air conditioning inside the car it was a little bit uncomfortable. This cache was hunted and found after setting up home in the caravan park behind the local hotel and walking along the Heritage Trail to Hickeys Beach - the cache and log are in good condition - SL. This is our find #5047 - thanks to Lumpyjrb for this cache.

Lovely spot TFTC

We're continuing to travel across northern Australia from one side to the other after attending the Red Centre Experience. We spent a night camped in the Keep River National Park, before heading further east.
4th and final find this afternoon after setting up camp in Timber Creek. I parked the car and walked to GZ. It was a very quick find thanks to the hint. I stamped the log and replaced.
Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for us to find. Cache is in excellent condition.

We headed off this morning towards Kununarra to have a couple of night with friends there and of course the journey wouldn't be the same if we didn't stop for a few caches along the way.

We missed the way into this one last night so we thought that we would have a try again this morning before leaving. This time we had no problem at all and arrived at the nice little picnic area which fortunately wasn't in use making for a nice easy find and sign of the log book before taking the mandatory photos before leaving.

Thanks Lumpyjrb for the cache and for bringing us here.

Nicely protected! After a few days in Gregory NP and Limestone Gorge heading south towards Wave Hill. TFTC in this 'remote' location!

Nice little area, and great to have a cache here! Well away from the muggles. Our first at Timber Creek TFTC

Gorgeous spot Loved the billabong In way to Kununurra from Edith's Falls Stopping Timber Creek for night with Juju54

Today we did some geocaching in the morning after our overnight stay in timber creek. We liked the scenic landscape around here.

Luckily some of us were tall enough to get take it out of its hidding place. tftc.

A nice day caching around Timber Creek. Loved the sights that these caches have provided us with and this is certainly one of them. TFTC TNLN

Day 22 on my trip from Perth to the Red Centre Experience in Alice Springs with m4yb and Max the GeoUte pulling Jonathan Swift the Jaycp camper trailer.

What an adventure it has been and great to get some caches along the route.

Stopped for lunch, lovely spot, just a bit apprehensive in wariness for the old "salty"

TFTC Lumpyjrb

Stopped here for lunch on the way back to our home state after the Alice Springs Red Centre Event.
Some tourists were swimming nearby, but they left unscathed.
Went for a walk and made the find. The lid is a bit cracked but hopefully the covering will keep it dry (no container to replace )
Thanks for another good cache in this great location.

Found on our great Astralian adventure. TFTC and greetings from Switzerland.

Have still to log caches from Katherine onward, but log this one now. Tftc

On our long trip to Western Australia Enjoyed the area here. First time that we saw a lot more of Timber creeks attractions. Tftc

Quick find at this lovely picnic spot. Left TB to continue its journey. TFTC

On road trip down the west coast from Darwin TFTC 7th

All quiet at this lovely spot - another place caching has brought us too... Thanks lumpyjrb 4 placing a cache here

Ahah! A cache that has it all (pretty much). Shady trees, a cache, pleasant waterhole (sans croc we hope), a cache, ideal lunch stop spot, a cache... and it's lunchtime! Oh, did I mention there was a cache here too? Thanks for pointing us here Lumpyjrb, much better than around the servo!

Nice walk down to the river to find this cache. Beautiful spot to stop and rest a while. TFTC

Nice picnic spot. Took a break from the highway to pick up the TB. Tftc

Bringing me to this cache brought me to a beautiful place. A favourite tick. I dropped off the TB 'Rex the rambling cat'. TFTC Lumpyjrb.

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 and for having bought us to this lovely spot and beautiful creek.

Found on our walk. TFTC

Oh yes there it is

On our trip around Australia we stoped here to grab the Cache.
Thank's to show us this beautiful place.

Greetings from Switzerland.
