Stargate P12130 TB Cache East Point, Northern Territory, Australia
By Beagle Team on 14-Jan-08. Waypoint GC18KRF

As per the previous logs, this cache looks to have been muggled. I was unable to find any trace of the container or any of the contents in the area. So sadly any travel bugs or coins in it are now probably lost.

Three of us search and found nothing .... Is it still there?

Hmm. Pretty sure I knew where it should be. No dice. Is it still around?

Can someone please pick up the camel & send him on his way he's been sitting star gazing for ages he want to go a far ... I have his mate & he' missing him ....
Thank you from the camel's heart ......

Dropped this one yesterday forgot to log it

#1 Early Saturday morning find. Didn't see any blood - but lots of spiders! Yuk!!
T 4TB L2TB

Hint to cachers: don't do this cache in shorts!! (and if you see blood near the cache, it's probably mine!) Dropped of TB's to send on their way.

We had no internet the last 3 weeks so, we can only now log all our found caches.
Found quickly.
out: 0
in: 0

Remember to let go of thorny branches as you walk through.... I shredded my hand.... oww.
Cache is in good order although not all the TB's are in it. I took 3 and left 2.

Thorn to the face

Nice one. 2nd for the day. Got stabbed in the ear and friend stabbed in the face. Bloody thorns

A bit thorny in there. TFTC

Just passing by. TFTC.

Nice easy find - dropped off Blaze replicoin, and took JayBee trackable.

Still a few tbs awaiting transport but not 13!

WanderingAus wandered back on day 63 of our annual Climatic Refugee trip, after dropping the WanderingMrs at Nightcliff Sports Club for a couple of hours of line dancing, I headed off for a morning of waymarking, munzee hunting and a small bit of caching thrown in.

I had a bunch of trackables looking for a new home, so I swung by to drop The Big Sucker (TBNE51), Jaybee Travel Bug (TB3MG2T), Gemini Traveling Zodiac Geocoin from "paka team" (TB2Z25B), CV Travelling Doll (TB3ZAHV) and Texas or Bust (TB2HP1P).

I knew this cache had a trackable in it, so I swung by to grab The Big Sucker (TBNE51).

Just dropping off a TB that I couldn't remember where I left. Thanks.

This was the first cache we found. Thanks to TrueMMM for introducing us to Geocaching.

Yay. Fun for kids. Picked up some teackables for Perth and Germany

Nice walk to GZ ..easy find with lots of TB's...noticed some familiar ones that we brought up from down south and placed in another cache..no swaps today...TFTC cheers.! cabbos

My first find this morning on the hired scooter and after all the city micro's it was great to see an ammo can. I parked nearby and strolled up the path for a nice quick find. L TB - TFTC Beagle Team.

WanderingAus wandered back on day 41 of our annual Climatic Refugee trip, after dropping the WanderingMrs at the bus stop for the free Casino bus, I headed off for a day of caching with a small bit of waymarking thrown in.

I knew this one had some trackables in it, so I swung by, grabbed Banjo Walkabout Tag (TB3YJDW), Meteorological Coin (TB2BYYF), Battletoad (TB49JGT) and LittleRed Dolphin (TB4KGVK), and dropped PIXEL the TB-Pirate (TB33W5N), Grand Jack the Giraffe (TB2J62G), White Jeep Travel Bug "Sully" (TBM8H2) and Cruiserdude II Geocoin (TB1M7J7).

These trackables don't need a Stargate Activation, but I can never tell when I'll find a nice big cache, and I had quite a swag of trackables ready to move on. As it turned out I found another couple of nice big containers on the day, so I ended up placing all of my last batch before the day was done.

Battletoad (TB49JGT) and LittleRed Dolphin (TB4KGVK) haven't been logged into this cache yet, so I'll wait a few days before logging them to give the cacher who placed them time to log them in.

I used all bar the last inch of log book for my log, and since Beagle Team is local maintainer for some of my caches I dropped in a new log book, which should last a few months (or years).

Out for a late cache run at East Point. We were not sure how long it would take but we had just over 2hrs before sun set to get as many as we could

With a name like Crocodile Ate My Cache we just had to make the trip to find this one. Interesting walk through the mangroves and must be totally different at high tide. We found the cache quickly with good co-ords and laughed at the funny container. With the signing and re hiding done it was off for another. TFTC

BimBamBoo was next. We headed up the short distance to GZ and then spotted the Bamboo. A quick study of the area and we spotted something that needed a bit more investigation and there was the cache in some neat camo. We completed the signing duties and rehide. TFTC

We parked by the walking track entrance to Stargate P12130 TB Cache. As we approached GZ we could see an obvious caching trail and put the GPSr and went straight to the cache. We completed the signing duties and headed up the track to the next on. TFTC

Brids Nest #1 was next. We spent way too long looking for this one. The GPSr was a little all over the place but we thought we knew GZ from the hint. We were just about to DNF when we approached from a different angle and there it was where we had been searching all around it. The size of the nest or mound is impressive. We signed the log and headed back to the car. TFTC.

Chris's case is certainly a said one. This one took a little while and is certainly a sneaky hide. Log signed and time to move up to the point. TFTC

Recycling had us puzzling over the terrain so we went all over. We could not see into some areas but could not find the cache. We then looked from a different angle and saw the cache. We took the travel bug, signed the log and re hid. TFTC

We went to do From Able to Charlie but after the string of DNF's we thought better of it so headed off to East Point Homestead. We found the co-ords a little out but the hint got us home. Nice cache container and eco power friendly. We signed the log and replaced. TFTC.

We continued down the track to East Coast Travel Bug Resort and made a quick find not far from the track with a good container. We completed the signing duties and headed back to the car to see a colourful sun set. TFTC

We approached Mr Ed from the road side just as it was getting dark and the bush look thick but we soon found a little path and found another good container. With the signing all down it was back to the car. TFTC

Looking at the Rating for Fannie Bay Ack Ack it was too good to pass up. By this stage it was dark but the GPSr had 3m accuracy so we narrowed down the area. We search under the light of the phone and soon made the find only to realise we had left the pen in the car so back we went to complete the signing duties. TFTC

Easy find, 4 TBs in residence

Found and logged at 10:10,

Thanks Beagle Team

Easy find. Always cool to open a cache like this. TFTC!

Good to find a Stargate cache still in existence, we used to have one in WA but it has been buried long ago.

Dropped in a traveller.

Had a day in Darwin today, so we thought we would let the Geocaches take us to some unusual but mostly very interesting and stunning places.

Cache in good condition! Thanks for setting this up.

TB IN, no others in cache!

Roaring Ford has advised me which trackables they retrieved as follows:

"I grabbed 3 TB's from the stargate cache and logged them as retrieved, they are:
TB40XD0 Australian Boomerang,
TB4J5R0 Swim Ducky Swim! and
TB36ZT7 Pillars of Scouting Tag - Character!

There are now seven trackables not accounted for in the cache inventory:
Boomerang (TB4873C)
Canadian Flag Geocoin (TB2YNWT)
Duikelaar Melbourne Racing Coin 2011 (TB3Z1Z2)
Margaret's Memory (TB248B0)
My hometown geocoin (TB2WCCA)
Road to Sacramento Geocoin (TB2C2YY)
the3defaus' Adrenaline Geocoin (TB1QDY6)

These need to be accounted for or marked as missing by the cache owner.

WanderingAus wandered by on day 20 of our annual Climatic Refugee trip, after dropping the WanderingMrs at the bus stop for the free Casino bus, I headed off for a day of waymarking. My travels took me to East Point Reserve, and I knew there were 7 trackables listed in the cache, so I swung by to check them out.

Of course I wasn't surprised to find none of the listed trackables in the cache, but I was surprised to find Australian Wedding Bug (TB1RJT4) and Paramedic Geocoin (TB3J0F3) in there, so I grabbed them to sort them out. They seem to be caught in the gate, so I'll give them a couple of days to 'arrive'.

On 11 May 12 Roaring Ford wrote "... We took nothing but memories and a hand full of TB’s that had just arrived in Australia, they accompanied us to Bali and will now be dropped around Australia on our travels ...". At the time Boomerang (TB4873C) had been in the cache for 5 weeks, and Canadian Flag Geocoin (TB2YNWT)
and My hometown geocoin (TB2WCCA) might have also been there.

On 20 Jul 11 I did a "Needs Maintenance" log which stated:
"The cache owner needs to mark the following travellers as missing:
Duikelaar Melbourne Racing Coin 2011 (ref = TB3Z1Z2)
Margaret's Memory (ref = TB248B0)
NT Gecko (ref = TB1RQY8)
Road to Sacramento Geocoin (ref = TB2C2YY)
the3defaus' Adrenaline Geocoin (ref = TB1QDY6)".

The cache owner marked NT Gecko as missing, and seems to be happy to have the other four listed in the cache even though they haven't been sighted for over a year. Perhaps they are trapped in gate travel somewhere.

I can confirm there are now NO TRACKABLES in the cache, and especially not Duikelaar Melbourne Racing Coin 2011 (ref = TB3Z1Z2), Margaret's Memory (ref = TB248B0), Road to Sacramento Geocoin (ref = TB2C2YY) and the3defaus' Adrenaline Geocoin (ref = TB1QDY6).

Dropping off some TBs

A great cache whilst out caching in Darwin. It was nice to find a large cache in the area. Thanks Beagle Team for the cache.

Went the long way and then walked all the way back to the start of the trail lol. Found but there was not 12 tbs inside only 3. Took 2 as we r flying out to Adelaide tonight so they will be taking a trip to a cache. TFTC

101337L/MMAY12 (Google DTG for details)
2754km from home.
After visiting the nearby Military Museum we dropped into this cache to log the find. A bit of looking, some skin removal due to sharp stick and wearing sandals and shorts soon turned up the container.
We took nothing but memories and a hand full of TB’s that had just arrived in Australia, they accompanied us to Bali and will now be dropped around Australia on our travels, left nothing but footprints and our tag.

Thanks for the cache Beagle Team

Nice quick find just off the road. TFTC

TFTC!

Stopped by this cache while grabbing a GCA moving frog. We love walking in this park as well.

Took GC, left GC

Nice walk TFTC
Was an easy & obvious cache hide.
Left Xmas path tag & placed 'Happy Small Toad' at GZ from the Geocaching Australia leap frog race
http://geocaching.com.au/cache/ga3762

Funny place for a worm hole, but I suppose these things just happen. Reached over and grabbed the cache.
Took the trackable B-1474. The web page states "I had better a short hike in the Pyrenees in search of a bear." (this is a google translation which is 35% accurate).

Nice cache

Nice site. 1st find for today.

Found on spec on a drive into East Point, and wasn't expecting an ammo can and lots of trackables, making a nice change from a bunch of micros this afternoon. Thanks Beagle Team.

Dropping a traveller from New Zealand off

#375 Nicely positioned! Took 3 coins to send to the east when I get home. TFTC!

Found it after a scramble

Well placed! LNTN

Dropped off 6 coins for other cachers to distribute far and wide.

Went for a short stroll with a cache hunt as well - it was a great day for it!!

Found the cache no probs, signed the log and then wandered off to find the next cache in this area.

great cache. wuick and easy find. greetings from germany

TFTC #1019

Gps yuk, left coin tb from belguim which we found in bali

Gr8 hide

Found at 12.25pm GAFF1 in the company of Riddell. We really like these caches where you can just go ambling into the bush and explore while others stay on the track. No extraterrestrial activity was detected when we opened the cache container - just as well as we wanted to remain around this area to do the rest of the caches in this lovely spot.
Thanks Beagle Team.

Nice to find a big cache.
TFTC

WanderingAus wandered by on day 54 of our annual Climatic Refugee trip, after dropping the WanderingMrs (aka SWMBO) at the stop for the free Casino Bus I had almost 6 hours of caching time available.

I had a traveller I wanted to drop here, to send it overseas, but I couldn't tell from the paper log entries whether it was safe to drop it, so I took it elsewhere. Once I got back to the caravan I could check up on it, and it seems to be a "safe haven" once again.

The cache owner needs to mark the following travellers as missing:
Duikelaar Melbourne Racing Coin 2011 (ref = TB3Z1Z2)
Margaret's Memory (ref = TB248B0)
NT Gecko (ref = TB1RQY8)
Road to Sacramento Geocoin (ref = TB2C2YY)
the3defaus' Adrenaline Geocoin (ref = TB1QDY6)

Once that is done the cache owner can remove the "Needs Maintenance" attribute.

great find took a TB and dropped one off, good trip little friend

WanderingAus wandered by on day 34 of our annual Climatic Refugee trip, after dropping the WanderingMrs (aka SWMBO) at Nightsbridge Sports Club for a couple of hours of line dancing.

After three weeks of trying to find a cache big enough to drop some travellers, I finally had to resort to caches which I knew would fit them, because I'd found them previously.

All the recent travellers seem to be accounted for, so it seems safe to drop some, but the five listed in the cache as at 28 Jun 11 are definitely not there.

Dropped Coconut Monkey (ref = TBKCQ8), Geo Quakobert Jr. (ref = TB3CR63) and Team Lisa Geocoin #1 (ref = TB2M9VQ), also dropped Catalunya Geocoin 2009 (ref = TB2VT57), FreeAgents Micro-Organism Geocoins (ref = TB2NHRK), Phonebox TB (ref = TB27P3G), Travel Racer Formula (ref = TB3FFCT), my WanderingAus Happy New Year 2008 Gold GC and my WanderingAus GeoMobile TB in for a visit before grabbing them back again.

Duikelaar Melbourne Racing Coin 2011 (ref = TB3Z1Z2) was placed here on 21 May 2011 by Bundyrumandcoke with the goal of being gated to Belgium. There are no logs indicating gate activation, but it may still turn up.

Margaret's Memory (ref = TB248B0) doesn't seem to have been sighted for over 14 months, so I suspect it went missing shortly after arrival. It should be reported as missing.

NT Gecko (ref = TB1RQY8) doesn't seem to have been sighted for over 41 months, so it should definitely be reported as missing.

Road to Sacramento Geocoin (ref = TB2C2YY) was placed here on 21 May 2011 by Bundyrumandcoke with the goal of being gated to the US. There are no logs indicating gate activation, but it may still turn up.

the3defaus' Adrenaline Geocoin (ref = TB1QDY6) was discovered on 10 Nov 2010 by Pirates-Tayler. Pirates-Tayler was in Germany at the time, and did not log any cache finds on 10 Nov 2010. There were numerous Pirates-Tayler cache find logs on 9 Nov 2010, and another on 14 Nov 2010. None of those logs mention discovering this GC. It should probably be reported as missing, although enquiries with Pirates-Tayler might reveal where it was discovered.

*Recommended* *Overall Experience: 3*

T4TC Beagle Team, nice to finally find a decent sized cache.

Transiting TB and coins

Found 10:35, after a brief search.

Took a two coins and two TB to move along, CSI=2, thanks Beagle Team.

3.30pm Out and about with 80degress while attending the 52nd National Square Dancing Convention in Darwin. Found we had some spare time so caching and sight seeing was combined. Nice plesant little walk through the park was called for here.
Nice and easy Thanks for bringing us here
Took TB Left TB TFTC

Found at 3.30pm On our second day out and about in Darwin with Xambo4u sightseeing and caching. Took 1 TB and left 1 TB and discovered lots. TFTC

No coins when I visited, but I left 2 coins behind.

A nice spot and a nice cache. Didn't swap any TBs.

Saw a few wallabies here at night. The coords seemed a little out for us. Cheers Gav [8771]

Dropping off coin ready for transport

Nice stroll, tftc. Wassa

And revisiting yet again, this time to place 2 geocoins in to be transported, one to Belgium, and the other to California.

The list of active stargates needs to be updated, as 2 in California have been archived, and a new one activated.

Cheers

Revisited to grab 2 trackables, one thats heading for Brisbane- we can help it along in a big way, and also the owners geocoin, just to take it somewhere else in Oz.

Cheers
Bundy

Find number 4 for the day, and find number 212 on the twentyth day of our month long trip to Warwick, Lightning Ridge, Boulia, Plenty Highway, Alice Springs, Ayres Rock, Darwin, and home. Found at 1000hrs Qld time.

I think I stuffed up here, this being my first Stargate cache. I signed the log book, discovered a number of trackables, took 3 that appeared to have missions to travel Australia, and left 1 U4DTB that wants to go to Indonesia- I think thats my stuffup.

Ahh well.

Cheers
Bundy

Nice rainforest, but generally too many caches in the close area. Less would be more. Thanks anyway

Easily found while cycling through the area. TFTC!

Great cache, great hiding spot.

I have taken some TB's and will drop them down south in the next few days
