Found it after a good walk in, it is being guarded by ants

Tracked through the bush as road was signed authorised only got many scratches and bruises walked back along the road lol tftc

This one is definitely one for the numbers x big, fat round ones. We came out before breakfast when there was a relatively cool breeze. Spotted lots of kangaroo footprints and tail prints on the roadway. Followed a cachers trail into GZ or maybe a roo trail for those wise to the Confluence. Thanks dSo much for setting and maintaining this great cache. A favourite for us. T the three monkeys TB LN SL TFTC Cheers Gztek

We found your cache today 25 July 2024 4:06pm , while enjoying another day in our beautiful countryside. TFTC NTSTROM

Great set of numbers! Too good to not come find this one! Definitely appreciate the cache placement here, thanks for highlighting!

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. A sidetrack to Litchfield National Park for a few hours turned into a couple of days.A nice interesting cache just for the perfect numbers. GZ was also interesting with the ants building away.

Falling over seems to be the recipe of the day. TFTC!

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 one was a must do. I do love a confluence and this is now my 2nd. Parked the rental in shade for the missus and bush bashed the 60 odd meters to GZ where the quick find was made. Spent a couple of minutes trying to get the money shot of the GPSr but it wouldn't play the game. All good though thanks for bringing me here awarding a favourite.Oh, and I dropped a TB here to continue his journey.NTSTROM I found your cache at 10:43am, this was the 2nd of 7 finds for me today and brings my total find count to 8412. The cache was in good order and I replaced it as found.SLTFTC

Found it with lance51 while on the travelling

Found it with Silence49 while travel around Australia . Thanks for placing it

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.
We have finally reached another spot where we are staying for 4 nights this time to really enjoy the sights of Litchfield NP.
So after another casual night I got up early and headed off to find a few caches before they got out of bed.
This is one of the ones that I did.
Heading back to camp I soon found the conveniently placed dirt road and parked nearby.
Headed off in my good hiking thongs and bade it to GZ.
I had not heard of this before but as they say you can teach an old dog new tricks.

Thanks NTSTROM TFTC.

Out n about with m4yb grabbing a few caches.
Nice track fairly close and an OK walk to GZ. Dropped TB and this is our first confluence in the NT, love these do have an FP for bringing me here.
Thanks for the hide & NTSTROM

This is our third confluence find and first in the NT.
Quick find at GZ. Many thanks and a FP for this special location.

We’re staying in Litchfield/Batchelor for a few days, and with lots of time we’re touring the area by finding all the caches around! We’ve had a great time finding all the caches around and visiting all the great spots!

A quick find, cool spot! Don’t think i’ve ever found a cache at a major lat/long intersection… SL TNLN

Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache NTSTROM

After a day out in Litchfield doing some of the sights we retired to our accommodation, then, to make the most of the available daylight headed out to Batchelor for some more finds.
These are fun… interesting coordinates! Good container too, keeping everything dry. We took a TB.

Thanks for hiding this cache!

Terrific bit of interesting info for us. We left a cute TB and hope this little bunny will soon be in greener pastures elsewhere. Cheers and tftc

Thanks NTSTROM for the chance to log a DCP cache. The coordinates near home are in Port Phillip bay off Beaumaris- which a few years ago a group of geocachers tried to reach by kayak and log but we all couldn’t quite stay still in the slightly rough tide. (Virtual) This morning I woke early in our accommodation in Batchelor and drove up to get the two caches close to the turn off here into Litchfield NP.
Gingerly I drove down the “restricted “
Road in the hire car. With the sunrise light I thought I was driving into Area 51.
I parked where there was a widening of the road. I headed to the cache on foot. The way is not that cumbersome.
Wow. Spot on coordinates and cache all good. Replaced as found. Snap shot on IPhone app. Fav from me.

We spent two days exploring Litchfield National Park, enjoying the gorgeous landscapes and the occasional swim. With some geocaching thrown in, it was even better.

Thrilled to find a confluence cache here. Our find farthest west is a degree confluence: GCDF21 - Betwixt and Between (Ontario, Canada) N 45° W 75°. Not exactly the same climate...

TFTC NTSTROM. A favourite point .

This location was a great curiosity for us.
Before heading to this one we did a bit of a Google search to find out a little bit more about the Degree of Confluence. Aah! Now we understand, and have since searched to find where else this exists in Australia.
Thanks NTSTROM.

Found with The X-Trailers on last day in Batchelor. TFTC

2nd find of morning
Dont like tall grass
Gps co ods of for me today
Tftc

And easy find while I’m staying overnight in the area. Dropped a trackable which hopes to head overseas. Hopefully a cacher can assist with its travels.

I intend to look up the links provided in your notes, sounds interesting- thank you.

A short walk gad it un sight! Bull ant guardians also were keeping guard. The cache is in good order. Tftc

Quick find but the bill ants guarding the cache were a bit vicious. Thank for taking us on this journey.

A nice con near Litchfield National Park. A few green ants keeping the cache safe. TFTC

We are absorbing the warmth in the Top End and are so pleased that we added NT to our itinerary. TFTC NTSTROM

An early morning start with a full itinerary, smileys included, we spent the day enjoying Litchfield National Park, we hiked we swam we cached, all in all a glorious day. We’re happy to say we came up trumps here and walked away with a smiley TFTC

Today was an adventure down to Litchfoeld NP for the next leg in the Great Aussie Icon Hunt. It started off soooo good, until we got to about 8 klm from the turnoff and we hit the roadworks, blocking off both sides of the road and using traffic lights to control. 1 and half hours later we get to the turn off, passing about 5 caches due to the bumber to bumber traffic.

Picked up a few and also a couple of DNF's, but all good when we got to the Bitter Springs Tavern for lunch 3pm, and a cooling ale.

Easy to find even though we walked passed it at first trying to find the magic numbers on the screen. Never got the magic numbers but did find the cache. TFTC

Found with GrimRaider on our trip to Lichfield NP. We got out if Batchelor early to avoid the heat and crowds. Lots of ants at GZ. Cool cache

Thanks for hiding this cache NTSTROM

Found with Kittykatch today.

Birthday day out exploring, easy find. TFTC

Thanks for the cache. Was an interesting area.

What an interesting concept this spot is based on! Thank you for the information and the cache.

Well this was a pretty straightforward cache and I definitely like the concept.
I could park nearby and a short comfortable 100m walk had me at GZ.
Cache is in really good condition.
Visited 3 TB.

Wow found this Confluence, never thought about looking for them before. Here with partner and son, a great experience. TFTC

Today our tour - which began in Perth, WA , and led us thru Western, Northern and Southern Australia back to Perth, was simply driving around in the Litchfield NP.

On the way we came to some interesting locations. Here we searched, found and logged this Tradi-Cache.

Weather was good in the morning and it should even get better during the day.

Thanks to 'NTSTROM' for showing us this location, for the fun we had with 'DCP S13 degrees E131 degrees' and for the smiley. The search here and today didn't take too much time, fortunately.

Greetings from Germany and we hope to see you soon in the forest, prairie, desert or outback .

Quickly found. TFTC

Tftc, all the way from Shellharbour NSW

Great find TY

Found it TFTC
Cache in good shape

Final cache for the day as we headed out of Litchfield. Pleased to see that there was a dirt road that we could walk on most of the way to this one as I thought it might have been a bush-bash of several hundred metres. Once at GZ, it was an easy find. Watch out for the ants! TFTC!

found with friends. Thanks.

This cache was found during a 5 week trip from Adelaide to the Kmberleys, Darwin, Katherine , Alice Springs and back.

Thanks to all cache owners for lacing the caches for us to find.

TFTC

Tftc. Easy one, but have to read up on the interesting information.

Easy yes easy will do some research when we get home TFTC

Find 1791
I was interested in type of cache. Never heard of the Degree Confluence before and was determined to get there. Surprisingly easy. Found cache and signed the log. Played around with GPS and was .001 out on the east. Pretty close
Took a trackable to move on.
Thanks

Travelling around the world I visited Australia as well. The cache could be found.

Love finding Confluence caches. Have one close to home and have found some others on our travels. Cache was an easy find and finding the actual confluence point was also fun. The gps was behaving itself for us today. TFTC

Tftc

We love finding confluences, so even though we weren't going to Litchfield today we headed out this way to grab this one. We found the cache then walked around to find the magic numbers on the gps. Only one of them would settle, but that was good enough. Thanks for the hide and bringing us here

On a serious 4 week roadtrip with Zauberkeks from Darwin to Perth our Australian Geocaching Adventure started right here!

Thnx and greetings from Germany,

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.

We had spent the day exploring Florence Falls but we had to head to Batchelor to grab a few groceries so we could last a few more days in Litchfield!! Decided to grab a couple of caches to mark the day - interesting cache - our first confluence point I believe! Thanks for teaching us what it even is!

Hi there NTSTROM - today is a driving day between Darwin and Rum Jungle, and began with a few caches along the Stuart Highway. This cache was found after setting up site at the Banyan Tree Caravan Park and heading out for a quick look at Rum Jungle Lake. Until getting out here I had no idea that there was a confluence point anywhere close by, let alone a cache at one. The cache and log are in good condition - SL. This is our find #5010 - thanks to NTSTROM for this cache.

After the hype of finding my first 5/5 yesterday, I thought today would be a quiet one as we continue our meandering across northern Australia after attending the Red Centre Experience over Easter. Pa was very generous in the afternoon but we didn't manage to find many caches as we travelled to Batchelor where we are camped.
After setting up camp and having lunch, Pa became my chauffeur to find some more local caches. This was #9, our final cache for the day. I managed to walk around in circles for quite a while, as Monty, aka my GPSr, just didn't want to settle. Eventually I had CIH, added my stamp to the log and replaced it exactly where I found it. Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for us to enjoy NTSTROM

Beautiful hot day
On way to Litchfield NP

Hot day, worth travel from Darwin to Litchfield TFTC

We had to try this one on our way to Litchfield. TFTC

Wow - love the concept. Will follow up and check other 'confluences'!! 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 Litchfield today. Mrs Felix still with limited mobility after knee surgery in Darwin so Mr Felix was pretty much exploring on his own.

Your cache was found in good condition today.

For some time now there has been a challenge cache near home that required 10+ finds in all states of
Australia so we have slowly been doing that. A few months ago with only NT & WA left to go we setup a
trip to do a flying weeks visit to each state to complete the challenge. We also setup an event while
in Darwin and had a great meet up.
So myself, Fleabag- & GT02 set about solving some puzzles and working out a plan to complete the
challenge along with doing some tourist activities while travelling. Now back home and the challenge
is complete. Just need to go and collect it.

On an awesome day trip down in Litchfield national park we went for a walk and found this one. We also needed it for a confluence WhereIGo we are working on in Melbourne.

Thanks NTSTROM for the cache, the adventure, the hunt and the fun.

GT02, Spiffy- and I are on a multi state 5 day roadtrip to collect a trad, multi and puzzle in N.T. and W.A. We wanted this location for a whereigo challenge on Victoria and a bonus having a cache here. Quick find. Thanks to NTSTROM for placing this cache.

Off into the bush we went and a quick stroll and this one was found. Thanks.

Alice trip 2017. Day 17. Today Sol de Lune, Luckyl10n, Fitzy_1965 and I drove the last dash into Darwin. We went out to Litchfield briefly, but still we suffered from the conditions and were happy to upgrade from swags to cabins for four days !

Thanks.

13463. Next find of Day 09 of the Red Centre Experience Roadtrip. Heading North.

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 cache, and it was off to the next cache.

TNLN - TFTC !!

On the road to the Alice Springs Mega with LuckyL10n and Albida33. We arrived in Alice Springs to pick up fitzy_1965 to complete our group and set about the fun of attending the event.

We spent the next 5 days caching around the region enjoying the area and finding a lot of the local caches. After the event we set our sights on Darwin and started off on the next stage of our road trip.

Managed to find another few caches and had a great time doing so.

Thanks for all the caches and the fun in grabbing them.

Found with Morgan Ed. TFTC

Away on a long weekend in Darwin visiting hubby while working. Loved visiting all the unique and interesting places.

Cheers and thanks for the cache

A fun place to have a cache, and convenient it is easily accessed. I left the TB 'Greek Gods Geocoin - Athena'. TFTC NTSTROM.

TFTC Was surprised to see the coordinates and had to give it a go using my phone was not long before I had it in hand , its still in very good condition we stayed in Batchelor lovely area.

A DCP and a Cache - I'm in! The rest of the family decided that air conditioning in the car was a better bet in the 35C heat. I tried to visit 4 unvisited DCP's on the way to Darwin - rain frustrated my attempts so I only made it to one and it was a heap harder to access than this one.

Driving from Adelaide River to Litchfield today and stopping along the way to grab a few caches in the area. TFTC

We soon headed bush and made our way towards GZ where we quickly spotted the cache and added our names to the logbook, before playing around with the GPSr trying to get it to show the confluence

Nice spot. Easy found on our way through Lithfield Parc, Greetings from Switzerland.

Have been here before but cannot remember why we abandoned. Maybe bitey season or something! Anyway, returned today, drove up same track and parked same place as last time. Ventured further this time and grabbed the cache. Nice size. Thanks for the significant numbered cache. A treat and a favorite from us.

NT campervan holiday ...Darwin, Litchfield, Katherine, Kakadu.

Wandered down the fence line track late in the afternoon. A short walk through the dry grass and spotted it from about 50 yards. Signed the log and returned. Thanks ntstrom.

Found this one during a perfect holiday together with MadameCrosser. Thank you and greetings from Germany

Found this cache together with steppi79 during our holiday in Singapore, Indonesia and Australia. Thank you for this cache and greetings from Germany!

Out and about from Wangi camp grounds and visited many new and interesting places. We picked this one up on the way.

Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.

Nice quick find after a little walk through the bush.

Great to find a cache with such numerically interesting coords. Walked around for a bit to get all the zeroes on the phone!
