Thanks for my first find! 5 kids in tow!

Was a fun find.

A bit of a bush bash to get there & tangled & tripped by a vine but hey, what a very cool cashe. Awesome. No rock, but hiding behind a tree.TFTC

We were just about to log a dnf but quickly decided to check the photos and found it tftc.

Ahahahah

Found

Last day in Darwin on a family holiday before I head back to Queensland. Took Mum out (an avid walker) to lee point for some early morning finds along the trails in the area. Beautiful spot and I hope the development doesn't encroach any further.

Forgot my pen today so took some photos instead. TFTC.

Lee point was a great place to stay

Today we walked and walked in Casuarina Coastal Reserve along the many trails, finding Darwin's first 'power' trial and completing it along with some other caches in the reserve. Some caches were easier to find than others, some were in prickly bush areas, others searching amongst the debris. TFTC

We decided to go for a bike ride along this coastal track to the dripstone cliffs. Was quite a nice ride with no to many people on the track.
This was our first find of the day
Thanks for placing and maintaining these caches

I’m visiting family for a week with time for geocaching as well. An enjoyable walk to find some caches in this area. Easy find as I saw it from the main track but had to go through a few spiky vines to get to it. Tftc

We parked our car today at the electrical substation as it seemed like the safest place before embarking on the power trail. OCW irondale. We found them all except number one.

We walked the extra distance to pick up this one before returning to the car and were glad we did. A great cache type and a cool location TFTC- have a FP!

Geocaching with Jennyfromthefarm. Tftc

Get in there

Cheers

TFTF - partner climbed into the bushes so I didn’t have to!

Just the right time to drop by and make this find. Loved the walk and the views. TFTC Happy travels.

Could possibly be hidden slightly better but all good! TFTC

TFTC! Cool container

TFTC

TFTC!

Epic find

Cool cache container for the location! TFTC

Busted my thong, had to send CampDogRob in

Campdog rob took one for the team

Fascinating history at GZ, and we spent quite some time having a look around here. Also good to read the information.
Then it was time to go looking at GZ, with a large container which has stood the test of time.
Log signed.
Thanks NTSTROM

On a trip around Australia with the family, out finding some caches this morning in this beautiful area. Quick find here, tftc!

Way to overgrown. Snakes DNF

Found at 9:18:00 AM(t) GAFF1.
Gosh the area has really changed since those photos in 2008! It is now a jungle! I was lucky to find the cache in these much more difficult conditions.
Thanks NTSTROM.

Pretty overgrown. Pack mozzie spray

Muggle65 and l blindly followed our arrows to GZ to find nothing matching the hint. You don't need to go into the prickly crapville at all. Coords are 15m out and cache is sitting almost out in the open.

Sweating away like a Queenslander on holidays & I ventured into the nasty GZ with no luck at all it wasn’t until we were both scratched & eaten alive by mossies that spied the cache. Signing it & cursing about how we should always keep our eyes open approaching a GZ. Happy that we found it

GPS signal is just leading me around in circles. "Behind a tree" is not a very useful hint in this terrain. Loads of thorns, vines and green ants. Moving on, try again another day on this one.

Found

Couldn’t find. Too prickly.

Easy find this morning
TFTC

Like previous geocachers, the bush proved too unpleasant in the end. Spent a long time looking with no success.

We traveled through Northern Territory for four weeks. We started the journey in Alice Springs and drove to Uluru, Kata Tjuta and then to Kings Canyon, MacDonnell Ranges, back to Alice Springs, to Devils Marbels, Katherine, Katherine Gorge, Kakadu NP, Litchfield NP and then further on to Darwin. On the way we found some caches. This was one of them. TFTC!
Abends unternahmen wir noch einen kleinen Spaziergang und kamen an dieser Dose vorbei.

With MellyJr20 Claiming defeat the bush is to thorny

Defeated by the bush! With VB2013

We definitely searched through prickles.

Wow...
Found but not logged...
I had a million green ants on me and I sprinted back to the path through wait-a-while and stripped down to be rid of the buggers.
Photo is all I’m doing...
Visited 4 TB.
TFTC

Off the beaten track. Loads of sticks. Good hide. Found with geomarsh

Thanks for the find. Good one

A few days in Darwin to get used to walking in the heat before hitting up the Kimberleys. Headed out to Lee Point in the late afternoon with an on-shore breeze, perhaps that was cheating. Anyway - enjoyed all the caches along here. I have been highly interested in all the WWII relics in Darwin. Whilst I knew about it, visiting various spots has helped me realise the vastness of it.

A quick find after dodging cyclists on the path. TFTC

Quick find with tassie expat while up here on holidays exploring this beautiful area. Tftc

An fascinating place. The sign made interesting reading. A fairly quick find between muggles. TFTC

Easy find to the east of the trail. Tftc

The jungle nearly had me lol TFTC

Nice bike ride along the trails along here. Great location. TFTC

This is a cache with a beautiful description and a lot of work put into it. In fact, I have to check if I've heard that song before.

I've taken on the track this morning with a bottle of water and some mossie spray in my backpack as instructed. All the boxes I found were in reasonably good condition. Some were a bit wet.

A couple of bikers and a lady with 2 friendly dogs was all I encountered along with plenty of birds and insects. Thanks for this trail!

Found amongst the prickles tftc

Another nice find for Numchuck 1 and I. TFTC

A nice size cache and an interesting location. TFTC

Beware of thorns.

We're continuing our wanderings across northern Australia after attending the Red Centre Experience over Easter. Today I had Pa drop me at the end of the CCRB PT as I wanted to walk it and he had other obligations to attend to.

It was a fabulous walk, meandering through the bush on a warm but not hot day, a slight breeze helping to keep the temperature down and the mossies at bay unless I stopped too long at any GZ. The bird life was great and many was the time I wished that I had carried my binoculars, though I hate to think how long it would have taken me to complete the trail if I had. Loved the finches, honeyeaters, black cockatoos and doves. A magical place.

The search for each cache was varied - some very quick, others far too long, some really frustrating while others were absolutely delightful.

To all COs involved in my adventure today, a big shout out for placing the caches. I enjoyed the variety and the effort that went into them. A couple in particular are memorable and I will award them FPs.

All the caches were found and my name added to each log either as SG, stamped or signed as usual.

Interesting history. TFTC

TFTC

Lovely walk all way from Lee Point ... enjoy TFTC

Bit of abushbash into this one, but found it! Now no rock on top and none nearby. Still well hidden though. TFTC

Interesting strongpoint Thanks for placing a cache here TFTC

Love the history of WW2 along this Coast. Got a couple of thorns but nothing too serious. Log signed and safe back again.
Find # 1019
Now for some pics.

Thanks for the cache, a bit spiky on the way in!

Now visiting Darwin after the Red Centre Experience.

The plan today was to head out for a full day of caching by Mr Felix on his Geo Bike.

Was a tough day with humidiity, heat and green ants, but he managed to find your cache today.

TFTC NTSTROM

Found it. Heed the warning. Lots and lots of wait awhile. I got through with only 6 blood spots.

25/02/2017 11:18:00 AM - Today my caching mission is a visit to Darwin from Melbourne. I wasn't prepared for the humidity which made it a challenge but I enjoyed it all as I explored and managed to find this cache and at the same time discovered a historic location. I lie this sort of thing and I like the cache container. I grabbed the travel bug to continue it's adventures. Have a favourite point too.

Thanks NTSTROM Cache is good condition.

I really enjoyed the beach strong point - and it was great to find a nice size cache in great condition. I dropped off a TB in the hope that someone soon will cycle past and take on to new adventures. Thanks for the cache NTSTROM.

I set out early this morning and caught the buses to the Hospital thinking I would get a couple of the caches at the beginning of this trail but as I went along I got more and more involved and was enjoying myself so much I went all the way to the end grabbing as many caches as I could along the way The path was quite walkable with only a few places where I had to gingerly use stepping stones to get across the little fords I enjoyed all the caches on the trail and can tell the CO's that I found them all to be in good condition Please keep up the good work, you guy's are what caching is all about Thanks for all the caches Chingola from Guernsey

I liked the find not bad on a rainy as well but bring mozzies repellant and don't sad still for long. good bike ride TFTC NTSTOROM

I don't like Greenant's! TFTC. Staying at Berrimah whilst in Darwin for work. This morning decided to take an early morning drive to Lee Point to grab some caches. Many thanks fro this cache, though I did suffer quite a few war wounds whilst grabbing it!!!

Found on our holiday trip through Australia. TFTC

Had a nice walk throught Casuarina Coastal Reserve and found this large ammobox without problems.

TFTC!

Now that's a bunker! We have one similar way down south of Hobart that also hides a cache nearby. The "wait a while" did indeed cause us to wait a while as we unpicked ourselves. Both ways!

We had found a cache a couple of hundred metres up the track and thought ''while we are in the area we might as well grab this one too!''

Cache was a nice quick find which is always welcome on a hot Darwin day!

Thank you for bringing us to this historic location.

Took 1 x TB.

TFTC

Another quick find. Those WAW trees were a pain (literally)

TFTC School holiday fun

TFTC, A bunker in real good condition.

TFTC

Another one done. Woo Hoo! I love the challenge of the geocache hunt - read the notes, decipher the cache requirements, and go searching for the hide. This is an amazing world-wide game of hide and seek. I love it! I also enjoy caching with my family, and meeting fellow cachers. It really is a small world when I read over cache logs. **Thanks go to NTSTROM** for placing this cache and maintaining it. It's a great contribution to the Geocaching community and much appreciated.

I enjoyed finding this one at 4:20:26 PM after arriving from a flight to Darwin. Dropped TB.
TFTC! Cheers. *Jump Pilot*

Today we explored Darwin and surrounds using geocaching as a guide.

Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.

Thanks for the background to the area. TFTH

Yes the prickles were a challenge.

Wait a while vine is a great plant and so aptly named . Mrs Trekker made the dash for the sign. Took TB. TFTC

Tftc took and left tb

Was prompted to go looking for some Geocaches after meet and greet yesterday in Darwin. Miss junior 5Mice and I spent some time in the afternoon looking for caches. Dropped a trackable at this location. Watch out for the wait-a-while vines with sharp spines. TFTC

Found it!! Out and about with the GF "Kym's Adventure" on a Sunday cache run to see how many caches we could fit in one day. This was number 9 of 23. I like seeing all the old war structures around Darwin, I try to imagine what it would have been like back in the days of the war here!! Kym had the honours of retrieving this one TFTC

9/23 - Today BF DeFCoN_6 agreed to help me set a personal best

Quick find. TFTC.

Might need to be checked!!

Pretty easy find once you dodge the shrubs!!

Beware green ants! We got seriously attacked here, they were all over us! Must have walked right into a nest!!! But still, found it!
