Mmmmm Berries! Litchfield Municipality, Northern Territory, Australia

Perth/Darwin TripIt was so nice to visit this place again and pretty disappointed that we couldn't go for a swim. I think it is my favourite rock pool ever! So I have sent answers based on this visit and with knowledge gained from my previous visit. Such a fab place - great to be here again anyway. 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 TeamThommo

Staying at Berry Springs tonight before heading back to Canberra tomorrow so happy to pick this one up. But the pool was closed so pretty sad about that. After swimming at Katherine springs would have loved to swim here. Had a great time visiting. Answers sent to CO.Perth visit over and now for NT chasing all States and Territories in a year with Kittykatch. Looking forward to the adventure. Thanks for getting me out and about TeamThommo

Visiting Darwin (from Victoria) for just 4 days with my parents, sister and nephew, on a (successful) mission to surprise my Pop for his 80th Birthday. This little Victorian did not cope with the heat well so we took a drive to Berry Springs. My first NT EC. What a beautiful area! We spent a couple of hours floating along with our noodles and swimming back again, experiencing the little waterfall followed by a picnic lunch. This one is definitely on the to-be-repeated list next time I have the chance to head up north. TFTEC

tftc for this geo.. it is our first geocache after all the years and our first in the NT as well.I loved the lower pool the upper pool was to crowded

Awesome location here. The water temperature is perfect. There was only one pair of crocs.Answers sent to the cache owner for review and approval.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 sixth 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.

I completed this earthcache on a trip from Adelaide to the top end for a few weeks with Freddo.A beautiful spot. Not a lot of people here this morning, but I imagine it would get pretty hectic at times.Thanks TeamThommo for another interesting earthcache.

What a great way to spend a few hours. Not a lot of people as school resumes today, kiosk was closed when we were there. I reckon the lower pool was by far the best.

Had a dip in the Springs, left the noodle in the car. The water was very clear. Thanks for bringing us here.

TFTC,Our last chance to Cache before heading away. Thanks to all for the variety we have experienced during our stay. Visited trackables.Great to have a swim.

I do love Berries, Berry springs was very nice too! I loved that this EC needed us to get in the water as I'm not sure we would have otherwise! The water was lovely, and great to swim with the fishes. Until one sucked on my foot!!!Spoke to some local folk there who suggested Leitchfield National Park, glad they did as it was really nice and a lot more swimming opportunities.

A caching trip from Canberra, ACT to Cape York, Qld and then around the gulf to East Arnhem Land, NT.Now with a detour to Thursday Island, Mabuiag Island, Mornington Island and finally along the Savannah Way through Hells Gate, then Nhulunbuy and Wadeye.TFTC. Didn't taste any berries. Maybe over at the tavern.A nice dip in the spring with the fishes. A great EC.

OCW PelDroedGwin Absolutely loved our visit to Berry Springs. The water temperature was perfect for me and it was so relaxing to float in. Answers went to CO. TFTEC

Had an excellent swim. So refreshing in here except for that one bloke who enjoys doing bombies (hang on that is me)Answers sent. Another great TT EC.We are supported our mate who ran to Darwin via the length of New Zealand, Tasmania and through Geelong, Adelaide, Alice Springs (@curlyrunsnz). We have some time off up here before heading home.

This area was closed for swimming today which was a pity. Found this fascinating Earth Cache today, tucked away in the midst of nature's beauty. Would have loved to swim here.

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. Today we took a road trip through Litchfield NP some great sights to see with some amazing waterfalls.Had a few picked out for the trip and this was one of them. Well I was here, sort of. The pools were all closed and roped off. I did my best to get to GZ but about 50 meters is all I coild do. Hope thats OK, I'll have a go at the answers when we get home next week. Thanks for bringing me here anyway.TeamThommo I found your cache at 3:33pm, this was the 6th of 7 finds for me today and brings my total find count to 8416.TFTEC

Visited today with tmann421. Will complete on our return home

Will send required info when we sort out our photos

Visited with a friend who was initially reluctant to stop but soon changed his mind when we started to explore the pools. Had a beautiful swim in the lower pool. We arrived around 4pm and had the pool all to ourselves. Gathered the info needed and took some photos before drying off and heading back to Darwin. Thanks for bringing us here, please take a FP for the whole experience

What an absolutely stunning place. Silence brings much joy here.Included is a photo of 2 things I own, my husband & my daughter in the springs.

Took a lovely drive out of Darwin today with this as the main target. Seems a lot of people were taking the opportunity of a lazy afternoon swim. The water was beautiful and picturesque today.

On our travels we were staying in tumbling waters, after a delicious lunch at the berry springs hotel of course we had to cool off in the springs, such a wonderful part of our amazing country, thanks for placing this earth cache

Arrived into Humpty Doo staying in the CMCA camp for 3 days
Thought we would head toward Berri Springs today picking up caches along the way
What a great way to tour the country following the geocaching trail.
It was so good to have a swim here at Berries Springs it is 50 years since we 1st swam here.
Collected the information require & sent to the CO
FP given
Thanks to the CO for placing this cache

very busy today

We spent a few days in Darwin and decided to stop here on our way to Litchfield. Wow, was much bigger than we expected. There was quite the crowd here for a weekday, but we still enjoyed our visit. We had a picnic lunch and then went for a swim and collected our answers, which have now been sent off.
Thanks TeamThommo for placing this Earthcache

Today we’re heading from Darwin to Litchfield for a few days before continuing on to Kakadu then back to Darwin, and of course we have to grab some caches on the way!

A nice quick earthcache at a beautiful springs! We quickly gathered our info and photos, along with a quick feet dip in the springs… Nice spot, water temp is at about my liking too! Have an FP.

Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache TeamThommo

On the road again! Today we’re weaving our way to Litchfield, specifically looking for interesting DTs and 4’s particularly.
This was a great spot, thanks very much for bringing us here! Answers will be sent tonight…
Thanks for developing!

Amazing day on family holiday. Had a grand float and lots of bruises from the rocks! Great place to explore and relax.

Travelling with richlink on a trip from Perth to Darwin and return down the centre. Today, we are riding Route34 looking for scenery, history, and geocaches. Thanks TeamThommo, we always enjoy a good EC.

Spent the day with iluvtrekking exploring the Cox Peninsula. We dropped into Berry Spring on our return to grab the details. It certainly was a popular spot today. Thanks Team Thommo

Having a great morning at Berry Springs. I told my daughter. No caching here until I spied this Earth cache. Brilliant idea.
Answers to be sent to the CO.
It is school holidays. Quite busy but great or go from the falls all the way to the lower pool with noodle floating watching the trees. Thanks TeamThommo.

We visited these pools a couple of times. In the afternoon it was very busy but still plenty of space. We floated/swam down between the pools both times. A very pleasant experience and definitely worth it.
Thanks for putting this earth cache together

Awesome swim here, floating around, with the crowds!! Pretty area. Answers sent to CO. TFTC

Found, lovely swim & interesting Earthcache!

Visited Berry Springs while on a short trip to the NT. being wet season no swimming was allowed but collected my answers from the side. Answers have been sent to CO. pics attached.

A family trip took us to the pools at Berry Springs today and of course Cacher-Grandma did the questions for the Earthcache on the side .
Especially the search for the stones and the investigation also interested the grandchildren!

Thanks TeamThommo for the detailed, informative listing, setting and maintaining!

TFTC - nice lovely swim on a Sunday afternoon

{FTF}

My first FTF on an EC...
My first FTF on cache outside Europe...
My first EC on southern hemisphere...

Due to the exercise Pitch Black 2022 I visited Australia for the very first time.
Having just 48 hours to stay, we decided to visit the Wildlife Park and afterwards we walked to the recommended place Berry Springs where we took a refreshing bath.
This EC made my day. All answers were delivered to TeamThommo in advance and were proved by them as correct.
Many thanks to the owners and it is of course a fav point worthy.
