Cache, rest, cache, eat, cache, rest, eat, cache etc.Freddo and e.gregory1 were heading up the middle of Australia following Stuart's well trodden route. We were travelling in air conditoned comfort and style. No stale food. No camels to carry water. We were leaving the cold winter for the northern season.Today was the day to find this cache. Today is the ninth day of Augustus Caesar's Month in the wonderful year of twenty twenty four. We found your cache container and added some inky stuff to the paper sheet or note pad you have supplied for a log book or scroll. The cache container and log book or scroll were in good condition. It was so hot. No wind today.With the log signed and the cache replaced it was time to leave. Onwards to the next cache. Woot, that is not to far.I would like to show my respect and acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the Land, and their continuing connection to it. I wish to pay my respects to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures; and to Elders past, present and emerging.I will apologize right now, because everything from here on is here solely for the purpose of padding the word count and winning that one hundred word diamond badge again. Somebody moved the goal posts. So many caches to find. So many caches to log. We find them, sign them and replace them.This particular geocache was found using one of the following GPS enabled devices, Garmin GPSr, Montana 680t, Oregon 650 or Dakota 20 and an Apple iPhone 11 using the marvelous Cachly app. Waypoints and paperless geocaching were downloaded via GSAK 9. Log prepared, checked and submitted using GSAK publish logs macro.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. Apologies for the generic part of the cache log. We do apologise for the generic logs. Thanks to all the cache owner for placing this cache here for our enjoyment.Thanks for the cache. Merci la cache. Danke fr den Cache. Gracias por el cach.

All ok here.We are supporting our mate who is running to Darwin (@curlyrunsnz). He started at Stewart Island in November, just south of the South Island of New Zealand and made to Cape Reinga at the tip of the North Island by New Years Day. He then flew to Tasmania, ran to the ferry terminal in Devonport and sailed to Geelong. Since then it has been a long hard slog across Victoria and into South Australia up the Stuart Highway but he is now close to the finish line in Darwin._Gypsy_, I found Rest when feeling tired today. Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache.

Well my whirl wind tour of 5 states in 3 weeks has started and after reaching the SA border and now the NT border it was time to locate a few caches here or there as I won’t be doing that much caching on this trip as I’m with muggle friends.
So after a great few days in Litchfield NP I decided to ditch the other couple but that is for another story.
So after drive up to Darwin and back yesterday it was time to head back south to were I end up for the night.
With the van in tow I had to be selective of which caches I could stop for and this was one of them.
Still very Smokey around here after a recent scrub fire but not at GZ at least.

Thanks _Gypsy_ TFTC.

Time for a rest, stretch and a revive, this was a good spot to pull off the main road where we didnt have to worry about the road trains zooming by. The GPSr was a bit silly here and kept sending us further bush than we eventually realised we needed to go, but we did get a good stretch of the legs in haha.
Mrs Kooka hadnt seen road trains before so for the first dozen or so she was interested then after a few hundred ...... not so interested.
We only allowed a week or so up here and we now know we should have doubled that time so as to fit all our wish list in. Caching takes up a bit of travel time but its a long way to come without grabbing some caches.
Thanks Gypsy for the cache and a reason to stop. Took nothing, left nothing signed log and replacd safe and sound as found

Hi there _Gypsy_ - today was a driving day from Batchelor to Katherine. The trip was uneventful other than some impatient idiots who couldn't wait for the double whites to end (it happens a lot over here). This cache and log are in good condition - SL. This is our find #5036 - thanks to _Gypsy_ for this cache.

Still travelling NT after the Red Centre Experience but now moving towards Birdsville in QLD for the Big Red Bash.

Moving day today from Batchelor to Pine Creek. Quite interesting driving through bushfires alongside the highway either side of the road. We were unable to stop for a few caches that we wanted to.

Darwin to Pine Creek.
After 12 days in Darwin it is time to head back down the track.
After setting up in camp we visited town following the geocaches. An amazing display all over town of a by gone era. The markets had just finished so only the tourists seemed to be out & about in town.
Thanks for placing this cache _Gypsy_

#7171 - 09:20; Day 23 of the Alice Mega Road Trip with Sol de lune, albida33 and fitzy_1965, so signing logs as A.L.F.S. After attending the Red Centre Experience event in Alice Springs and then heading north to Darwin, the time has come to pack up and head for home. Today we are headed back alont the Stuart Highway to Daly River. A quieter caching day as we stopped off to collect some of those we missed on the trip north, but looking to vover a reasonable distance. All caches we located were in good order, including this one.

Alice trip 2017. Day 21. Today Sol de Lune, Luckyl10n, Fitzy_1965 and I left Darwin and began the journey Home. Heading south finishing the day in Daly Waters. We managed a few caches we had skipped on the way north and a section of trigs. The highlight was two WW2 airfields.

Thanks.

13631. Next find of Day 13 of the Red Centre Experience Roadtrip. Heading South Again.

I flew into Alice Springs to meet up with my caching mates Sol de Lune, Albida33 and LuckyL10n (signing mostly as ALFS) to attend the Red Centre Experience and then venture up north to Darwin and then east into Qld before heading south for home - a three week caching trek.

Next stop for the day. Quick find at GZ. Signed the log, replaced the cap (only), and it was off to the next cache.
