We found lots of big containers and lots of NT rock piles too.
Thanks for the caches and the joint *FTF*s, cheers from the Riverina, NSW,

Another perfect Winter day for a few more caches with MrsRoosta while at Alice.
More of the Tassie trail was calling for a visit after sitting unloved for so long.
So off we went and clambered up and over and around more rocks we didn't find before.
And eventually found the last 4 including this one. Nice big cache here too.
Thanks for the cache and the series TT, and the bonus *FTF*, well done,
Roostaman
