Good cache. Tftc

Found with Deefa71 on a quick trip to Darwin. Greetings from Perth. Tftc ;

Travelling with richlink on a trip from Perth to Darwin and return through the centre to SA and home again. We are in Darwin for a few days before heading south again.
Today, we drove to Adelaide River, enjoying the scenery, history, and, of course, the caches along the way. Thanks CREWIMLOST2.

Travelling with iluvtrekking and a return visit after eleven years. Today we are caching down to Adelaide River and surrounds. Last cache of the day and got there just before the gate was locked. Thanks for the hide.

TFTC. Quick easy find.

TFTC what an interesting hike. Loved the water show. A bit off in discription, happy for the find. Happy caching.

Time to catch up on some logging.
Don't go too far from the pole.
Thanks for hiding.

OCW jennyfromthefarm around Darwin, catching up on llgs today TFTC

Found this one on the trip from Batchelor to Jabiru. Getting the caches done super early in the morning really helped with the heat. The humidity is insane but it’s really when the sun is beating down on you that it’s hard going. Thanks for placing these caches TFTC
This one was a great little walk out to the dam wall and looking at the history along the way. Saw a croc trap fully set up which was very cool. We really enjoyed this diversion off our long road trip and it was great to be here early morning to avoid the muggles. Giving a FP for bringing us somewhere we wouldn’t normally have gone

A beaut quiet spot.Thanks for sharing this a bit of history.
TFTC

Such great history but a shame it is falling into disrepair. Disappointed at the dam wall that you couldn't really see very much and were not allowed to walk out onto it. I understand why though. Quick cache find but it's much closer to the pole than the hint suggests. Maybe cache creep? TFTC

A month away from home to soak up the sun and find some caches. TFTC

Heading further into the territory we took the opportunity to collect as many smilies along the way as we could within the timeframe we had, happy to say we came up trumps here and came away with a smiley TFTC

With the long dry season the Dam level is well down & there is no water cascading over the wall. A great showcase of some amazing history & infrastructure. T4TC!

Well being reliant on the hint sort of helps, but it’s much closer to the pole than the hint says.
Probably in need of a new log shortly.
Container is in really good condition.
Visited 3 TB.

Popped a 5 pence in for luck.

Little bit tricky but found in about 5mins. Muggles everywhere so had to be sly. Sweaty arfternoon find. Why so hot Dtown

Found it after a long search, hint sent us too high on the hill

TFTC Easy find ~Clammy~

Find 1797
An interesting spot to visit. Once at GZ the cache was found without problem. Log signed and back safe again. A chance to do some more exploring.
Thanks

TFTC

Log book quite damp, apologies unable to replace

Given the detailed hint I made hard work of this looking too high on the hill. Regrouped and made a good find in a logical spot. TFTC CREWIMLOST2

On a tour to the dam I couldn't miss some caches. Thanks

Family of 6 travelled around Australia in a camper trailer on the holiday road trip of our lives. It's been a long time since we came home, but I kept good notes and am now reliving our trip by logging the caches we found on our travels.

After restocking in Darwin we headed to Litchfield National Park. It ended up taking us most of the day as we stop to see all the sights! We enjoyed checking out both sides of the dam today - although with all the croc warning we were concerned about the people swimming here! We noticed in the larger part of the dam there were traps out, but I know I certainly wouldn't let the kids near the waters edge!
Thanks for the cache - a photo attached from the other side of the dam to show we were here (can you spot the croc trap?)!

On a clockwise half lap of the East side of Australia. Travelling from Batchelor to Darwin decided to grab a few caches despite the afternoon heat. Thanks to all the CO'S for their valuable work and maintaining the cache's.
Cache Condition:OK
Ziplock: OK
Container: OK

Thanks CREWIMLOST2.

After a little climb found it

Enjoyable walk past the old buildings. Interesting historical place. Found cache safely tucked away even though the surrounds have been burnt. TFTC

It been burn out
Cache is all good to log it

All good... been burned out. TFTC

Easy find but took longer than it should have. SL TFTC

Found the cache ok decided to continue our walk to the top of the dam, don't waste your energy there are locked gates at the end and you can't see the dam (damm)
TFTC

Still travelling NT after the Red Centre Experience but now moving towards Birdsville in QLD for the Big Red Bash. Staying a few days at Batchelor so a day out exploring nearby once camp was set up.

Your cache was found in good order. Nobody else around today although it was 4pm

Tftc took trackable left treasure

Quick find

Tftc...dropped TB...

Great quiet spot. Thanks for proving a bit of the history of the place. TFTH

TFTC

Found. Tried this one many moons ago but lost phone service last time. This time had help from clue to log. TFTC. Dropped nemo to carry on his travels.

Today we explored Berry Springs and surrounds using geocaching as a guide. We picked this one up on the way.

Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.

12185 caches found

We were camped nearby, did not take long to find

took : nothing
left : nothing

Thanks for the cache CREWIMLOST2

Out with Team Robins, finding a few caches, whilst Walking Around Australia. TFTC TNLN

Found it a couple of days ago with Ben22

Glad to hear this is still going.

If you visit and see it needs some TLC please give it. This was my 1st CACHE and I live a long way away now. I enjoy reading the comments left and hope the CACHE lives on for a bit more yet

CREWIMLOST2

Found it!

We were out and about today and stopped to grab some caches on our travels.

This one was an easy find which took us somewhere we never would have gone if it wasn't for Geocaching. Thank you for bringing us here.

TNLN TFTC

Quick find on a lovely morning. Thanks for the clue! Made life a lot easier! TFTC

Found on way to get a new cache at manton. Haven't been up to the dam wall since I was about 8 years old... Tftc!

It was pretty hot and dry out at the dam today. I'd like to come back in the wet and see the water coming over the dam wall. The cache was all good and found easily. TFTC.

Continuing our journey towards Darwin, on our 2nd trip around Australia.
A nice stroll from the highway, on a good path.
Thanks to the hint, made it a good find.
Thanks for the hunt today, CREWIMLOST2.

Today we leave Darwin behind us heading down the track.
We left early so had breakfast at this delightful location. So much history in display here.
A short walk led us to this cache.
Thanks CREWIMLOST2

What a fantastic place hidden away from the day to day tourist [:o]
I rolled into the parking spot around midday to find the place completely deserted.
This seems to be another amazing Territory tourist spot that has lost it's gloss and goes ignored by the passing hoards [:o]
The information boards are faded and rusted, as is the heavy duty industrial equipment on display.
But the area is so peaceful, out of earshot of the highway.
And so full of wartime and present day history
If you like a bit of oily machinery, or even a leaky dam, then this cache is well worth chasing
I spent well over an hour in here.
The cache was a nice easy find, once I reduced the Territory metres down to half size
TFTC, I loved every minute of it.

On a Trip to the top end for the V8 Race weekend 14 days of driving and racing

what a fantastic and interesting area would have loved to stay longer

After 5 days in Darwin for the V8's and a little sightseeing it was time to head south back to the cold. Of course we grabbed caches on the way.

Distances are more like 1m and 1.5m up - may have been some cache creep. TFTC.

Great historic site of Darwin's water supply. Easy enough find, just a matter of picking which rock. Tftc

This area is great at the end of the wet when there is a huge waterfall flowing over the wall here.
There was a sign up here today saying that a croc was spotted here today, no luck for us in spotting it today thought.
TFTC

A very hot walk to the cache. And I was going to read the main information board at the parking area, however, the MASSIVE amount of ants on that area meant I didn't learn a thing!!!

Such an interesting site and the pink and white flowering shrub was stunning. TFTC.

Thanks for taking us to the dam. Cache is good. TFTC

Lovely place
TFTC

Walked the low walk then the high walk to get the cache. Continued on to the plug as far as we were allowed. Was interesting to watch the very active fish in the pools below. Thanks.

Thanks for bringing us here, we have driven past numerous times not ever knowing what was there just off the road. Great history lesson and quiet a pretty place to visit. TNLN. TFTC.

Great to see the dam wall with water flowing over it. Very Spectacular.

Nice simple find. TNLN, TFTC

Really enjoyed coming back here after many years - brought back some happy family memories! Had place to ourselves today and soon had cache in hand with very helpful clues T4TC

Found as a part of Team SaintsMadHouse and now that the kids have grown we each have our own accounts to finddd geocaches with separately wherever we go!Night time cache. No torch just GPS and pen. Lucky there was some light still available from the sheds etc.

Night time cache. No torch just GPS and pen. Lucky there was some light still available from the sheds etc.

Found fairly quickly. Nice spot to revisit after a few years.

Thanks for the find.

Looked and looked around GPS GZ and also hint GZ, as they are some way apart, but to no avail.
I will endeavour to look harder next time.

This one has survived the fires and is in good condition. TFTC

Found while on holiday from NZ. We appreciated a sealed road, and a sealed walkway to this one. A very interesting spot to visit, with its view of the lake, its history, and bird life. The cache was in OK condition, thanks to recent maintenance. Well worth the short detour, thanks.

WanderingAus wandered by on day 72 of our annual Climatic Refugee trip, heading down the Stuart Highway towards Adelaide River with the WanderingMrs (aka SWMBO), with the aim of finding a few caches near there and picking up any travellers I came across.

I knew this cache needed maintenance, so I decided to swing by and see what was needed. I had to wonder how I managed to find this cache back in June 2008, with a little over a years experience and less than 600 finds, because the gpsr was still reading 10 metres off, on the other side of the path, by the time I finished what needed to be done.

The cache was very wet inside, and the log was unuseable, so I dried the container and everything useful, including the stash note and two pencils. I left a new log book, ziplock bag and pencil sharpener, and visited my travellers. Unfortunately I didn't know about the log by champstarr, who wrote "... We wrote our name and date on a leaf and put it in the cache", so I probably threw away their leaf. Sorry about that, if I'd know I'd have added them to the new log book.

Cache is all wet. Couldn't record our visit. TFTC

The log is so wet, smelly and is literally falling to bits. It is impossible to write on it at all- it needs a replacement ASAP. We wrote our name and date on a leaf and put it in the cache (its all we had!), lovely spot. TFTH

a great early morning walk.TFTC

Log book soaked

Great

auf dem Weg von Batchelor nach Howard Springs schnell gefunden und geloggt - TFTC
notice: logbook is very wet

It's a shame that the caches such as this that are only a minute or so off the road, don't get more visitors. It really is a pleasant walk to and from GZ.

Didn't see any crocs in the water today, perhaps it was too warm and they were enjoying the cool water... The cache eluded me for a while.and I found myself looking back at the "marker" to see how far I was wandering off track. Got there in the end though... [^]

The cache has suffered a bit in the rain which is unusual given the type of container. It had water in there that I poured out and the log is saturated and unusable. It needs a little tlc now the rains have subsided.

Cheers CREWIMLOST2

A very enjoyable cache. We loved the walk, view of the dam and the clues which helped us to find the cache without turning over too many rocks. Had lunch there too under the shade of the trees. TNLN. thanks CREWIMLOST2

A nice, easy find IF you read and digest all the clues. We didn't, and spent a lot of time looking in the wrong places!

An interesting spot and well worth bringing visitors to. TNLN. TFTC

thank you for placing a cache here, I'd never know about it otherwise. I thoroughly enjoyed exploring the area, lots of interesting history and very peaceful.
TFTC sl

If it wasn't for the cache I would never have seen or known about all this history and other stuff Thanks CREWIMLOST2

nice place to put a hide.
the wife and kids saw a a couple of freshies, and watched the fish jump as MGROCKS and I grabbed the cache.


Love the old trucks nearby.

Very interesting cache site. Glimpsed a couple of freshies in the pond below the wall. Interesting vehicle relicsL lizzard. TFTC.

After looking for a while we found this one a Toad had made home there and about 5 min earlier I was looking and commenting on the toad but did not see the cache. well hidden TFTC

Took a little time to locate this one. Even had to deal with a rock falling on foot.
Excellent Hide!
TFTC

nice day. plenty of water around.
GPS had difficulties. Clue came in handy

TFTC BLACK FLAG

Great spot, we'll definately come back here one day!
TFTC Rachel (found with Stevo)

Nice one TFTC and happy x-mas

I think i just found this one on time, as it was almost dark.
Great spot, I would love to spend a bit more time here.
Cheers, slats

A hot walk and disappointing as the water is closed because of Blue Green Algae.
It smells like it too.

First stop on our trip from Darwin to Katherine. A very pleasant place to stop and learn a little history. Also very good to start adding to my total which has been on 1500 for several months. TFTC

A lovely spot and a really nice walk into gz with signs to read. Thanks for the specific hint as my gps was showing 8m at gz. And thanks for showing me this place.
