Closing down this cache, moving away.

Found it!

###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.

---

We were already on our way back towards the campsite when we came across this cache. We walked a bit around before we found a good access point to it. After the recent rains, the flats are quite muddy and slippery. The last few meters were a somewhat inundated and we hopped from hump to hump in the ground to the palm. The cache was quickly found and signed before we retreated to higher grounds (with all the mud accumulating on our boots).

Thanks for showing us the local Palm Beach!

#6466 - 10:55; Day 7 of the Alice Mega Road Trip with Sol de lune and albida33, so most logs were signed S.A.L. as a result. After a night in Port Augusta, today's plan was to cache in and around Port Augusta and Stirling North before heading south towards Whyalla for a couple of nights and produced 88 finds along with only 4 DNFs. After a circuit around the back blocks of Stirling North we were now back in town collecting a few more. This was a pleasant stroll from our previous find, but beware, the mud can be deceptively slippery and I nearly went base over apex before heading in closer to shore for the walk to GZ. Once we reached the rather obvious GZ a short hunt turned up the cache. TFTC Dinko1974

Alice trip 2017. Day 5. With Sol de Lune and LuckL10n we started caching around Pt Augusta and Stirling before heading to Whyalla via a few of the short trails.

Thanks.

Albida

On the road to the Alice Springs Mega with LuckyL10n and Albida33. We headed through Burra and Port Pirie before arriving in Port Augusta for the trek up the highway. Collected a good number of caches and all were found with no issues and the logs were soon signed. (Some logs were signed as S.A.L. to save space.)

Thanks for the cache and fun in getting to it and finding it.

Prick to find and a bit of a prickly spot log is wet

Travelling to Alice Springs NT Red Centre Experience Event.
The weather was beautiful everyday
Beautiful adventure of natives
Found it
Thanks for the cache Dinko1974

On our way from Tasmania to the Mega at Alice Springs we stopped in Port Augusta to find some caches and this was one we found. We too got spiked but found the cache. TFTC

Love it TFTC

Suffering more pricks than a Pin Cushion, I gingerly searched around for the booty near the obvious tree. It was eventually found with some aggressive and now, aggravated Bull Ants. I found a 'safe' spot to SL. The log within is still wet so I left my workplace card with 'Found It' details on it . TN, glad to be outa there even though it is a very nice area [^]. I could easily handle a holiday shack up there on the small hill with a view of the Gulf and Middleback Ranges TFTC Dinko1974

Log soaked

Ouch ouch ouch, then another approach was found with just a deep crevice to get over. Cache was literally full of water and so was the log bag. We had no replacement so made a mark on the log. Maitenance definately needed. Unusual to see such a item as this here. TFTC

#FoundIt! #Ouch #Muddy #Winners

Caching with earthlight and The X Trailers we decided to clean up a few around Port Augusta, we had a great day and the weather was very pleasant for us, managed around 38 finds and 4 DNFs. TFTC

Palm Beach ,now that sounds like a lovely spot for a cache ,or is it?
Found with Earthlight and 3LG
The skies overhead were getting darker and more like rain any minute when we headed down the beach to locate the cache
By the time we had located the cache my mood was getting as dark as the sky
Lost count by the number of times I got spiked looking for the cache
Found it signed the log and happily walked away
Tftc

This cache should have DANGER,DANGER, DANGER written across the top of page.
So many spikes to leave their mark.
Eventually found after a few yelps.
Found with 3LG and The X-Trailers.

Was a good find but a prick of a find

I found this a few days ago when a friend was showing me what geocaching was. Needless to say but came back to log for myself now.

First one! Virginity gone, that's a bit of fun. Took a bit to find being a newbie. Yep got spiked aplenty!

Our one DNF for the day. No probs locating the palm. Unmissable. Got to GZ & located a few other non-cachey but foreign objects like a broken nerf gun & an old plastic cup. In fact that's pretty much the only plastic we did unearth. Caches zero. D1.5's are sometimes just too damn hard for us. Ho hum.

maintenance conducted all good to go

Catching up with some late logs, therefore this unfortunately is going to be one of 'those logs'. I apologize in advance for the generic log, A combination of limited time and too many to log dictates that a generic log is best. I have enjoyed the hunt and being outdoors in this great country of ours, partaking in a pastime that I thoroughly enjoy. I usually head out by myself, but I thank those that have had the misfortune of my company in some of these ventures.

Thanks Dinko1974 for placing this cache.

A nice stroll in the dark to GZ although I did wonder if the tide cam up this far. Found in a logical spot without getting jabbed.

Time: 18:25
Find #7319**

Day two of the Nullarbor experience was here. I again joined the convoy of Alansee, Maccamob and Mica Paramedic for another day of fun, heading for Port Augusta, then I would do my own thing for a few days before joining them again in Esperance. Today, we would drive from Murray Bridge, to Port Augusta via Gawler, just over 380km of driving. We would log our finds as MAAM, AMMA, AMAM or some other combination of those 4 letters.

This one took some time to locate and was not too much fun amongst the spiky plants.

**Thanks to Dinko1974 for the cache. TNLN**

Found by Mary & David, in convoy with micaparamedic, Alansee and ahomburg (logged as MAAM), at 1825. Sounds very Florida USA. Again the boys had their torches, but Mary wants to return tomorrow to see the views. Beware the sharp spiky plants near GZ. Our thanks to Dinko1974.

Found on our 3-day road trip to Curdimurka - 1500kms in 60 hours and 30 finds

Hi there Dinko1974.

We found your cache **"Palm Beach"** at 10:45:00 AM today. This cache makes our find count 13936.

We thoroughly enjoyed our trip around the local area today. We usually start the day off by nominating a cache some distance away from our camp site and then take a route mainly determined by the next closest cache according to our GPS. Today's plan was to dash into Port Augusta to test drive a vehicle, and then log a few caches before heading back to camp.

We ended up finding 10 & DNFing 2 caches today.

**Coordinate Accuracy:** We found your cache around two metres from where the GPS said we should be looking.
**Cache Condition:** The container and log book are in good shape.
**Took:** Nothing.
**Left:** Smiley Badge.

Thanks for the hunt today,

Regards

Ian & Penny.

This cache was found after a bit of a search
Thanks for adding to our fun Dinko1974!

A tricky little late night find.

I was, very generously, offered a trip to Whyalla with Moneydork that was too good to refuse!
Tonight's stop was in Whyalla and between Port Augusta, Iron Knob and Whyalla I found 60 caches but ended the day with the only DNF

A short walk in and a quick find at the appropriate spot for Palm Beach

4623 Found by baby&Mrs gopher at 1130. After the rain last evening everything was a bit damp. Made the spikes on the grass even more of a challenge. SL Tnx Dinko1974

A sunny day in the Gutta
Isn't it always ??
Sunny but damn cold !!
Isn't it always ??
Except in summer when it is windy and damn hot
In the Gutta

I started this caching trip in the 'Crossroads of Austwalia', here.
A short stroll down by the fore shore where soft sand is a real danger [:o]
I didn't find any really soft sand on me short stroll to Palm Beach.

Finding the palm on the beach was rather easy !!
Who needs a GPS [:o]
And close by was the cache

The poor olde palm has led a tough life.
Tough location to grow in for starters !
Didn't help that the local gangs of kids hellbent on destroying anything that doesn't matter to them, set fire to it a while back
The palm still lives !!
In defiance of those who are probably serving time in juvenile detention !!

A nice quick find while spending the day in Augusta caching. TFTC

Stopped by to check on cache after it was logged as a nano... cache is still at listed gz.. clip lock container.

Not an easy find

Quick and easy find

Headed off to this one with the co-ords in our head [as we usually do].
Made the fatal mistake of stopping to read the information board about feral animals. Should have done this on the way back as we both forgot the co-ords!!!
After debating whether to walk back to the van or not we decided to check out the object first and a quick find was made.
Thanks.

Decided to do some night geocaching, parked at car park one, then walked along the beach to GZ. A still night and tide coming in, arrived at GZ found cache quickly and all okay, signed log. Thanks for cache Dinko1974. Cheers diggers09.

I was born on the hill and learned to ride motorcycles on this track so coming to this area is always a treat.

This cache was found using a Garmin Montana 650t. Waypoints and paperless geocaching downloaded via GSAK 8.

Found with the Frog on our Cleavage Run for the June Long Weekend. There was sun, rain, wind and some mud. The moon lit our way at night. Awesome fun.

Thanks to Dinko1974 and clear skies from TeamAstro.

An easy find. TFTC

After completing our 2nd trip around Australia, we are now heading towards Alice Springs.
Arrived in Port Augusta, dropped off the caravan, and headed out to cache the area.
Parked nearby, and took a stroll though the unusual environment.
Arrived at GZ, and the cache was quickly spotted.
Many thanks for the hunt today, Dinko1974.

Gold, found by Geo Mum. Nice walk for mothers day. Removed the PathTag Locus Cache from Oz Mega 2014 Murray Bridge. Left timber crafted flower earrings. TFTC. : )
