Perth/Darwin TripIt is great to be back in Darwin and checking out this beautiful park again. Joolay and I are travelling to WA and NT to qualify for a challenge that requires you to find a cache in every Australian state in a calendar year. Thanks for hiding and maintaining this cache firesafe
Tftc. Arrived in Darwin early today aboard the Crown Princess. Weather was stifling. Too hot todomuch caching.
Out and about early in the (not really) cool morning. Amazing history around here that I dont think Ive ever considered too much before. Thanks for the fun and adventure.
A nice easy Virtual Cache on the way back to the cruise ship. Photograph of Mrs Josttwy at the memorial, and you can just about see the ship in the background. TFTVC
Auf unserer groen Rundreise durch Australien sind Andy-Cayoon und ich heute von Alice Springs aus hier nach Darwin geflogen. Abends war noch Zeit fr einen kleinen Bummel zum War Memorial. Von dieser Stelle aus konnte man auch herrlich den Sonnenuntergang genieen. Thank you for the cache. Meerana and Andy_Cayoon from Germany.
A quick 5 day trip to Darwin included finding this cache. This is my first trip to the northern territory and is my final state / territory in Australia to visit. The weather was certainly different to Tasmania. It is great to explore another part of Australia. Thank you firesafe for hiding and maintaining this cache. Found on 10 October 2024 at 12:52PM. This cache was my find number 11599Thanks for the cache

Chewbacca72 and I are traveling during 4 months through Singapore, Australia and New Zealand. A few caches that are on our way should not be missing. This cache is one of them. Many thanks to firesafe for this interesting virtual.Best regards,searchersab
Tijdens een wandeling door Darwin kwamen we langs dit monument. Een foto was snel gemaakt. TFTC.
Wandered her but not lostEarly morning day one of 8 days up here. My first find. Waited for this for a small milestone so thank you firesafe for placing for us to enjoy and learn. Am sitting watching the small shops coming in or at and truly miss those days of sailing BUT today I am not sailing and that's not a bad thing. If I was I'd be working and today is not a day for that!! Missed all the rain from a few days ago but the green and the humidity reflect rainy season onset! TYFTC fave. Tomorrow there is a ceremony here and the council workers are now beginning to clean it so it shines
A photo of Lyn at the Memorial is attached. A hot afternoon in the sun and we were soon looking for some shade. Thanks to firesafe for the cache.
Enjoyed a nice morning walk through The Esplanade. Thank you bringing me to this memorial. TFTC!
Had this on my list before I left for Darwin and then it wouldnt show up on Cachly. Knowing the requirements I had to log once I got home.Thanks for the cache firesafe
Started off here on my day exploring Darwin city. Learnt so much about the war today - the informative signs here were very nicely complemented buy a visit to RFDs too! TFCT
Lest we forget. Very interesting war memorials. Very lovely sea views too. TFTC CO.
I visited this Virtual cache on a trip north from Adelaide for a few weeks with Freddo.Thanks firesafe for the cache. A favourite point from me for a straightforward Virtual with a simple photo logging requirement.
Lest we forget.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 twentieth and ninth day of Julius 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 a cool cloudy and raining. 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.

Im very happy that Geocaching has lead me to this war memorial in Darwin.I enjoyed walking along Anzac Centenary Walk and reading all the history of the bombing of Darwin.Definitely worthy of a favourite TFTV firesafe
Enjoyed reading the nearby information signs about the bombing of Darwin on the last day of our holiday.

First of a few while on my "I'm still on Melbourne time" walk around the area this morning. A nice quickie with its [GCA partner](https://geocaching.com.au/cache/GA4484) at 06:55 and I was on my way although our night cache geocoin had a visit to mark the occasion. Thanks firesafe.

Did the cache while killing time for our flight home later tonight. TFTCM Cheers dkmacca
Visited Darwin on a number of occasions before but never been in this area long enough or as a Geocacher. Also, as an Ex-Serviceman places like this hold a special place in my life. Cheers from New Zealand
OCW PelDroedGwin Out for the day at Glenti (which is fabulous!) a fld took a walk over to GZ to walk off some of the food. A very lovely memorial, lest we forget. Tftc
The Esplanade is a wonderful place to go for a stroll. I really enjoyed walking along here in the warm afternoon, checking out the views and reliving some memories from long ago.I stopped to take a photo of myself in front of the war memorial.TFTVC
Been here a few times now. Rode past while on the scooterWe are supporting our mate who is running to Darwin (@curlyrunsnz).He made it here a few days ago.firesafe, I found Darwin War Memorial (Darwin Lest We Forget) today. Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache.

We had a nice walk in Darwin. It was hot and after a short but intense rain shower it was hot and humid. However, we could visit some Caches here

.TFTC forestcats on world cruise 2024Thank for this cache so close to the cruise port. I intend to find more here. This is a lovely peaceful park. And great city I have been here back in 2018 cruising back from china to Sydney. This time we are cruising from Sydney to Perth.
pineapplegoldy and my newly signed up friend "goldyscacheelf" are in the NT for a few days.There isn't much caching on the schedule, mostly just national parks, museums and croc jumping tours.Today was the day we explored Litchfield National Park and East Point back in Darwin.We had just wrapped up in Litchfield National Park and came back for some dinner before going to see East Point.I really wanted to do this virtual while here.I wanted to do it tomorrow as it is the anniversary of the bombing of Darwin. However, it seemed that a ceremony for the anniversary had been set up here as the area in front of the memorial was fenced off. I decided to do it today in case I couldn't access the area due to a ceremony tomorrow. I could still access the nearby path and the monument from that side. So I went the longggg way around all of the barricades to get to GZ. I took the required photo and had a look at the names of the people who paid the ultimate sacrifice. My grandma's uncle served in Darwin in WWII as an engineer for the bomber planes. He sometimes had to deliver the newly built planes into the war zones to replace the ones that had been shot down.Some of his colleagues and friends didn't make back, even though they were not soldiers.Lest We Forget.Thanks firesafe for this virtual cache, which brings Goldy's total find count to 3972 on the 18th of February 2024.
Beautiful spot..thank you for bringing me here. From Nova Scotia Canada, cruising with HAL.
We were in Darwin Australia for the day on our ship - Holland America's Volendam. We had a route of caches and Adventure Lab Stops planned. We walked about 8 miles around the city, finding 6 caches and completing 15 Lab Stops. We went back to the ship to cool off and end our walk for the day; however, checking Messages there, we saw that a CO had answered our Message about a problem with one of their caches. With that resolved, Marbles went out, met GrtDane along the way, and the two of us walked in the sun and the heat of the day another mile round trip and found that cache - Phew!#####################This Cache: We got to GZ and posted the required photo - thank you
In Darwin for a few days from Perth doing the touristy thing and picking up few smilies here and there when I get the chance. After checking out the RFDS Tourist Facility which was well worth money I reckon we meandered around here and there.Left the missus in the air conditioned car while I jumped on a scooter to pick up a couple of labs and a virtual. Thanks for bringing me here, pic attached.firesafe I found your cache at 4:00pm, this was the 6th of 10 finds for me today and brings my total find count to 8423. The cache was in good order and I replaced it as found.SLTFTC
