Found on my second attempt. My GPS was off the first time, second time was on top of it. Thank you.
Would have been a quicker find if I had been looking for "a" cache instead of "the" cache from the photos. Thanks jsttry for replacing the container! The new one really blends in to the surroundings. Just keep an eye out for the green ants. TFTC series! Managed to get all of them (this was my last).
A quick find While out geocaching on the south side of Darwin and a bit of bush bashing. Luckily some forrestry track brought me up pretty close to the GZ. TFTC.
Although the integrity of the cache looked compromised, the log was surprisingly intact. These pines have a haunting quality at night. All crazy shadows & eery silhouettes. T4TC!!!
Found it... but I'm thinking my compass it out- it was 7m from where it was meant to be?? We will take sterling marlin- travel bug and re hide in another place. TFTC
Decided to take the bikes and dog out to look at this series it was a nice morning to do this. TFTC DeFCoN_6
Caching around the Darwin suburbs, slowly moving through areas we have previously not been. Really enjoyed our trek through the pine forest to locate this series of caches. Thanks DeFCoN_6 for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.
spending the day sight seeing with tazbud and the geo juniors. found some lovely caches. TFTC
After our Parisian trip in the first week of the Easter holidays, we (i and my husband Voske1967) went for 3 weeks to the other side of the world to enjoy the friendly atmosphere, food, landscapes and culture of Australia. Of course, geocaches were also searched for and found in Perth, Monkey Mia, Denham, Newman, Port Hedland, Darwin, ... . This trip downunder will stay with us for a long time! It was pretty hot in Australia for the autumn season
Great hiding spot, enjoyed this one. Cache needs a little TLC, water inside but log is still dry. TFTC
We were visiting Howard Springs and took the opportunity to grab this cache whilst we were here.
Cache was found quickly after parking close by.
Bit wet inside the cache container but the logbook was still dry.

Emptied out the water in the container. It had a Quicksilver comb in there. Added a golf ball and small toy.
Great series .... Quick find after a short search Thanks for this great series 
Explored a bit of this area. Found a couple of this series. This was the first. TFTC.
Today we explored Howard Springs and surrounds using geocaching as a guide. Tackled this series by car, enjoyed the tour through the pine forest.
Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.

This was found together with Landlockedsailors (LLS) 
We were going to Palmerston, so LLS had planned a little route of caches we could find if time allowed.
We had a marvelous time and found some really good caches. I was surprised of how well the little wombat (the car) did in the terrain
This was an easy find and I liked all the caches in this little series. They were fairly spot on, all were nice and clean caches (not micro) - a very nice experience. Interesting place, I would not have gone to on my own... No danger though - no snakes, spiders or any other deadly animal around when we visited I have a great map (actually OSM - free map) on my GPS which showed the paths = the easy way around the area. It was just perfect [^].
Thanks a lot for the cache and the series
PS: this one gets the fav point on behalf of the entire series

I had run a Bushwalking Course through here over the past few years and had thought about putting a cache series in here. When I come up to run it again in a few months time I will have to see if I change the route to grab these on the way 
Our last cache for the day. Our youngest daughter had her second tumble on her way to this one and mountain biking quickly went from second most favourite to definitely least favourite sport! Having said that, the actual bike tracks were great and both tumbles occurred when we took short cuts on the fire trails and ball bearing like gravel was her undoing. Apart from the tumbles it was a great day and the dog enjoyed a great day out too. T4TC
