Time for all but one of this series to be archived.

No find for me today.TFTC

Same as last one, said it's up checked the pole climbed up as high as you can go, not there

On our travels we stopped to grab this cache, like the others only broken glass so left a log in a bag behind the wire, thanks for placing it

Gone. No sign of plastic bag nor original

Nothing at the site except broken glass

Sandymay27,Craig and 2
Cache needs replacing had no log in it so I left some paper in plastic bag

Cache is very brittle

Container was a quick find but all contents are gone. TFTC

This one looks like it’s been raided. I found the cache on the ground next to the pole. The lid is damaged, the log is missing and if it originally had a magnet then that’s gone too. Sorry I didn’t have any equipment to do a repair or replace. I’ve placed the empty container in the base of the pole.

Mogni and myself went to the Northern Territory for a 10 day holiday. We drove 5478 km's in those 10 days. The plan was to go up the Sturt highway and then go via Ayers Rock, King's Canyon and then through to Alice Springs stopping at the gorges/chasm/gaps along the way. As you can expect nothing goes to plan. Day 1 Adelaide to Cooper Pedy, made it just before the Roxby Downs turn off and blow the side wall on the tire of the 4x4, 193 km detour just to get a tire and even then it was the second tire place that had the tire the correct size. We had camels come in to the campsite in Erldunda Roadhouse, they even left hoof prints 1/2 a foot from the tent, at King's Canyon we had dingo's come through the camp ground both nights we where there and at Alice springs we had a mouse move in under the tent in their campground. Some of the aboriginal towns we passed where in lock down because of covid 19 so no going in to get fuel there, that changed some plans. The floods where way worse up in Northern Territory than i realized. Some creeks/rivers i could see the debris over 2 meters from the river bed and down one 4x4 track it washed the road away completely, the hole was 3/4 the length of the 4x4 and over 6 foot deep. The temp was 33 to 36 for 9 of the 10 days and finally cooled down for the drive home. We got 7 different caches types in the N.T. plus every different cache size. It was a good trip but not the one we planned. To many of the roads in the N.T. where damaged and not repaired ( still closed ) so that cancelled plan A but that's just a excuse to come back isn't it. Come back and see what you missed last time when the roads are fixed. We came with 19 regular " geocaching size " containers and a milk crate of small containers by day 7 all the regulars where used as replaced caches and by day 8 the smalls where gone. It was the UV rays a lot more than the floods that killed the caches and almost all the log books where saved, the micro containers seemed to have constantly full log sheets so they where replaced too.

Sir_spectre and I went on a long overdue holiday to the Northern Territory. We had some great experiences and saw some amazing natural wonders. Not all went to plan - covid closures, flood effected roads, renovations, hot weather, some car troubles and not forgetting the huge jump in fuel costs
Any caches that needed repairs were fixed and numeous logs were replaced or added too.
Thanks to The Drovers from mogni

I'm sure the camel is my spirit animal - sometimes smelly. Nice find here today. TFTC.

Found

Found during a trip from Adelaide to the northern tip of Australia and back. Traveling up solo along the Strzelecki Track to Innamincka, then through central Queensland to Quilpie, Blackall, Barcaldine, Hughendon and Ravenshoe to Cairns. In Cairns I met up with e.gregory1 and a non-cacher friend and spent three weeks on Cape York Peninsula before making our way back to Cairns and Mareeba. From there I headed on my own back home via Normanton and Karumba, Cloncurry, Mount Isa, Tennant Creek and back down the Stuart Highway through Alice Springs to Adelaide. All in all I spent six weeks on the road, visited many out of the way locations, enjoying the scenery and finding caches along the way. Thanks for the cache The Drovers!

Easter 2020 was supposed to see South Australia Geocaching hosting the next Easter big MEGA event, GeoVenture 2020 at Millicent. GC82DAN. Due to COVID restrictions the event is now postponed to early October 2021. Check out the event page and our website for new details. We would love to see you at this four day event. Mega event sponsored by Wattle Range Council, Geocaching.com and many other supporters. Lots of caches to find with two classic geo art trails including the famous animated bottle and glass.

This particular geocache was found using one of the following GPS enabled devices, Garmin GPSr, Montana 680t, Oregon 650 or Dakota 20 and a Samsung S8. Waypoints and paperless geocaching were downloaded via GSAK 9. Log prepared, checked and submitted using GSAK publish logs...

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.

GPS doing all weird things here, but found it in similar place to #1 and #2. Great quick find!

While staying at the National Road Transport Hall of Fame campground close by I decided to go for a bit of a drive around the area to find a few caches on our first full day in Alice Springs. [^]
I enjoyed driving on this undulating dirt track and finding the caches here.
Another quick find in a familiar spot.
Thanks for the cache The Drovers.

We have travelled from A (our home in SW of WA) to B via the Savannah Way with a two week unexpected detainment in Mackay which has set us back, now sadly travelling back to A via the Outback Way from Winton to Laverton
We have extra time in Alice than we planned so some extra caching is now happening. Gotta love that

Great ones to add a few more to my caching tally

This cache was found today and brings our overall cache find tally to 9695.

With only a few caches to go until we completed the Hidden Creatures I had to head out and get these caches to finish off. I like this series, it’s been a quick find.

Thanks The Drovers for the cache.

Staying overnight in Alice on my way to a mine site, I took the opportunity to find a few geocaches in the area and visit the town and its surroundings.
I took my little 2WD hire car on this track, hoping it wasn't going to become too sandy but everything went OK. Thank you for the cache and this fun little series The Drovers.

Found while in alice for a few days, on our darwin trip
