The geo grandies helped find it and we took a love heart and left a lizard. A few things have been wet.

TFTC! Good spot

TFTC. Quick find

Cant find it

we are on a East Macks tour

No need to be a mountain goats for this one Cheers and tftc

We had a little spare time this afternoon so we headed out this way to see some sights and find a few geocaches. When we pulled up here there was a muggle sitting in his car on the phone and we soon realised GZ was in full view. We wandered off to look at the waterhole and gather the information for the nearby earthcache instead. By the time we got back here, the muggle had left so we were able to search unimpeded.

Thanks for find #4747

We stopped here for a short break and found this one. Tftc

An interesting stop going east.

A fire was cooking on one side of the car park and some Europeans were testing the depth of the water, attempting to get to the other side. By GZ was a guy and his dogs. He admitted he was totally off grid but liked the sound of geocaching.

TFTC!

Found it a lot lower than we initially searched. Was obvious once we got there. Phones gps was off by several meters..

Left a Lego minifigs- muppets series for the next finders

Found after a bit of a gallivant up the slope. Twasn't up there and was pretty simple in the end. Thanks for the cache!

A beautiful stop to visit. Thanks for bringing us out here. Cache is in great condition. TFTC.

Found on our road trip through the outback with muggle sister in law visiting from South Africa. Tftc

Another worthy little gap to stop at, this one had people enjoying the water that was here and lots of chirpy Budgies in the the trees which was nice to see. cache found without issue today.

With GreyHams we set of for a short 24hour visit of Alice Springs. Certainly there is an element of crazy in only staying such a short time but what a great trip and place to visit, so worth it. I have been seeking the red outback dirt for a while now and for the past few opportunities have been greeted by lush greenery hiding that iconic red dirt! Still, it was stunning and I feel the green just made the scenery look more stunning highlighting the red rock formations. Loved the gorges, little waterways, dry creek beds and the chirpy little budgies at the gorges.

With temperatures forecast to be up around the low 40's it was a little culture shock! On arriving at the airport and collecting our reliable little SUV we hid in its lovely aircon and made the scenic drive out to Trephina Gorge. Perfect location and first stop... and the flies, SO many sticky little flies!

With a select number of caches on our list the gorges and stops on our way back into Alice highlighted the areas Geology and locations of interest as we cached our way back into town. Some short walks, fun little tracks and much variety in our list of types, LGA's, and DT among others.

After checking into our little villa, sorting out its aircon we set off for one of the little tracks that tested out our little car but carefully we made it through its eroded surface and water filled crossings. AL's, more EC's and some local about town caches gave us a good experience of being in this little town and I feel the caching showed us all we could see for the full experience.

The recent alcohol restrictions brought in we experienced first hand, all well organised and regulated. With the evening sorted it was onto Roberto's for the BEST pizza. Highly recommend the food and the friendly service offered to us and the locals while we were there, don't let the broken and boarded windows in the area put you off, it's worth trying.

The following morning we used to finish off the last of our list, with the multi, letterbox, WIG's and final AL's. The AL's took us to a little park where an invasion day rally was in place, a public holiday the streets were busy... the temperature 38C by 10am!

Many thanks to all the COs for your caches that led us on a great little trip of Alice and its highlights.

Nice tin in the rocks here

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Aquilus1 & I are on a 24hr lightning visit to Alice Springs (or Mparntwe) just because it sounded interesting as well as grabbing a few of the LGA's in the middle of the country.

This time it was my crazy idea, but Aquilus1 was willing and able to do 'crazy' at short notice.

We got to the airport at an ungodly hour, and then two planes later we landed in Alice. We flew past half of Cathay Pacific's entire fleet during the landing....no rusting out here I guess!

We had a great day doing multiple gorges and 'gaps', driving on the old highway north to get some great D/T hides and various lab caches before heading in to the city.

We saw first hand the new takeaway alcohol rules as well as all the broken windows in town. The pizza place we went to (Roberto's Pizza) did the BEST PIZZA'S I have ever had....I am serious! It's a shame someone had smashed four of their windows, as they provided great service to us & all the locals that came in.

Thank god for air-con, as due to that I had a good night sleep. We slept in of course (due to me stuffing up the alarm and the long day we had previously), but it all worked out. We finished with the 'Heritage' labs which happened to be where the 'Invasion Day' protests were occurring.

We got every cache & lab we wanted, I feel we saw most (if not all) of the sights, we saw some cultural & political happenings..... what a way to spend 24 hours!!! Thanks to all the CO's for placing.

On holidays, TFTC

Found it. Lion is missing though.

Found on trip from the Ghan.
Thanks to Rami for the help of the pen.
Greetings from Jimena de la Frontera Cadiz Spain

Not to be today

Beautiful place thank you for the hide

The GPS took us up the garden path, but then we came back down and took a different approach and came up with the goods. All in good condition. TFTC

Found while visiting The Alice, Travelled from SA along the Birdsville Track to the Big Red Bash, across the Simpson Desert and up the Binns track to Alice. TFTC.

Spot on coords led to an easy find in a great location. TFTC

Got

Veni. Vidi. Vici. Scripsi.
Heading out to Ross River Resort for a day trip and calling into various sites along the way. This was the first for the day. Wandered around for a bit enjoying the sights and then went to look for the cache. Took a little while to spot the hide. Signed the log and replaced all as found.

Official tin. Well hidden. Car park busy.

Lots of water still in the gap. Found the cache instead with Paul2811 TFTC

Tftc, not as high up as I thought

Tftc first onholiday

Almost gave up on this one after searching far and wide but finally spotted something that looked a bit suspicious. Travel bug score too!

Had a lovely visit to this gap
Introduced a local to caching who was travelling with us.
Did lots of swimming it was very hot

Sir_spectre and I went on a long overdue holiday to the Northern Territory. We had some great experiences and saw some amazing natural wonders. Not all went to plan - covid closures, flood effected roads, renovations, hot weather, some car troubles and not forgetting the huge jump in fuel costs
Any caches that needed repairs were fixed and numeous logs were replaced or added too.
Thanks to 2Lost-Souls from mogni

nice location. found after i looked a bit higher than i thought it would be. replaced logsheet

Mogni and myself went to the Northern Territory for a 10 day holiday. We drove 5478 km's in those 10 days. The plan was to go up the Sturt highway and then go via Ayers Rock, King's Canyon and then through to Alice Springs stopping at the gorges/chasm/gaps along the way. As you can expect nothing goes to plan. Day 1 Adelaide to Cooper Pedy, made it just before the Roxby Downs turn off and blow the side wall on the tire of the 4x4, 193 km detour just to get a tire and even then it was the second tire place that had the tire the correct size. We had camels come in to the campsite in Erldunda Roadhouse, they even left hoof prints 1/2 a foot from the tent, at King's Canyon we had dingo's come through the camp ground both nights we where there and at Alice springs we had a mouse move in under the tent in their campground. Some of the aboriginal towns we passed where in lock down because of covid 19 so no going in to get fuel there, that changed some plans. The floods where way worse up in Northern Territory than i realized. Some creeks/rivers i could see the debris over 2 meters from the river bed and down one 4x4 track it washed the road away completely, the hole was 3/4 the length of the 4x4 and over 6 foot deep. The temp was 33 to 36 for 9 of the 10 days and finally cooled down for the drive home. We got 7 different caches types in the N.T. plus every different cache size. It was a good trip but not the one we planned. To many of the roads in the N.T. where damaged and not repaired ( still closed ) so that cancelled plan A but that's just a excuse to come back isn't it. Come back and see what you missed last time when the roads are fixed. We came with 19 regular " geocaching size " containers and a milk crate of small containers by day 7 all the regulars where used as replaced caches and by day 8 the smalls where gone. It was the UV rays a lot more than the floods that killed the caches and almost all the log books where saved, the micro containers seemed to have constantly full log sheets so they where replaced too.

Found this cache on our way back from Corroboree Rock. All good here, quick find today.

Geo kids climbed up high on the rocks with no luck. Goe dad eventually found it. TFTC.

My husband and i are on a road 8000km plus geokm trip from Brisbane to Uluru and this cache was on my to do list and wow what an amazing place this is . we firstly enjoyed the walk around and then off to find this cache. my husband went one way and i the other and he found the prize. Thank you for taking us here and for placing this cache here for us to enjoy

Geomum found cache quickly on way to ranges.

Great to be able to find this geocache.

Ok

Our first find for the day on a windy day in the Alice.TFTC

Nice quick find tftf

Staying at the showgrounds in Alice Springs, we decided to do a short drive to check out the rock art here. This cache was found with no problems. Both the rocks and the caterpillar art work are brilliant. Driving to the caches along the Ross Highway gives a good idea as to why caterpillars feature in the first nations stories in this area..

A quick find after enjoying the ambiance of Emily's Gap.

Thanks

Quick find with SJG66, the toy lion was a give away.

Found with O319 during our stay in Alice Springs

Great spot!

Exploring Oz

Great spot. Thanks

We drove out to this amazing place to see the Three Caterpillars and collect a smilie. After a walk around we targeted this cache and I tried to find it a hard way then heard hubby call out “found it” darn it I did all the unnecessary hard work! All good with this one,log signed and replaced as found. Thanks 2 Lost Souls. Now I know what the hint is.

We took the TB to move it to another part of the country.

Nice little spot there!

My GPS had me heading up the hill for a bit. Once I read the hint I realised I was going in the wrong direction and shortly after a quick find. Great cache container and I have left a trackable here. TFTC

Love this location. An outstanding example.

The cache was found in the last place we looked, which as usual was not the first place we looked. Thanks for placing a fun cache guys. We do love your work. We signed the logbook. Of course we did that is way we play this game. Cache in pretty good condition for the cache age.

Easter 2020 was supposed to see South Australia Geocaching hosting the next Easter big MEGA event, GeoVenture 2020 at Millicent. GC82DAN. Due to COVID restrictions the event is now postponed to early October 2021. Check out the event page and our website for new details. We would love to see you at this four day event. Mega event sponsored by Wattle Range Council, Geocaching.com and many other supporters. Lots of caches to find with two classic geo art trails including the famous animated bottle and glass.

This particular geocache was found using one of the following GPS enabled devices, Garmin GPSr, Montana 680t, Oregon 650 or Dakota 20 and a Samsung S8. Waypoints and paperless geocaching were downloaded via GSAK 9. Log prepared, checked and submitted using GSAK publish logs...

Warning, this hobby can be addictive. It can lead to exercise, meeting new people and finding interesting places you might not have known existed otherwise. Beware: you may have fun.

Found on a quick caching run north. Adelaide to Alice Springs and back in a week.

The turnoff was covered in burnout rubbish. Cache quickly found.

TFTC

Rainbow bee-eaters
Skimming the air
In Anthwerrke,
Where the caterpillar paused
To let the women through.
Half a moon,
Ghostly in the blue sky.
It is quiet. The coolibahs hush.
Sigh or echo? It is hard to tell
The bird from its shadow on the rock.

A fantastic spot on a winter's day. TFTC

TFTC Koppstar Werte73 13/6/20

Interesting spot, but 39degrees and flies thick so didn’t stay too long. Easy find thank goodness.

A month’s worth of rain! I loved the rock art, even if we all got a bit wet. Cheers!

Up early and heading out into the east ranges, our first stop for an easy find.

TFTC- beautiful spot for a short trip out of Alice

Visiting all the nice places in the East MacDonnell area and at the same time collecting caches, tftc

Discovering the Binns Track finding a few caches along the way.

Day 4 of our *Red Centre Adventure*... and today we had a quiet day, not straying too far from Alice. We started with a visit to Ewainga Reserve... and then came out to Emily Gap to have lunch. The cache was a quick find before taking a walk through the Gap.

Thanks **2 Lost Souls** for putting this cache here.

We have travelled from A (our home in SW of WA) to B via the Savannah Way with a two week unexpected detainment in Mackay which has set us back, now sadly travelling back to A via the Outback Way from Winton to Laverton.
We have extra time in Alice than we planned so some extra caching is now happening. Gotta love that

Didn't have this one on my list but grabbed it a we passed. Lots of broken glass on the ground at GZ

TFTC

Maybe I was too scared to go up high enough ??

Couldn’t resist having a climb up over the range. Beautiful views. Thanks.

TFTC out visiting the area with Crack n Lee Lee. Lovely spot with significant history

A quick find today with 2beez. Such a beautiful spot.
Old log book here.
TFTC 2 Lost Souls

Not found again, climbed up and looked down but no luck

Couldn't find it

We finished loading in the early afternoon so I went for a drive out to Emily's Gap. I have not been out here before, which is surprising given how often I've had work in Alice over the last few years. I had to wait for the muggles to leave before I could scout out this hide. Then a phone call put the geo on hold for a bit longer... But, I got it in the end. TFTC

Tftf always loved this spot

We are on vacation in Australia and of course we seek some caches.
Thanks for this one!
Greetings from the Netherlands.

Found while enjoying the peace of the place. No muggles today. TFTF

TFTC

We took our geokids to the Red Centre for the spring school holydays. Great place, fantastic experience. We flew from Birsbane to Uluru, did climb the Rock, visited Katja Tutas, Kings Canyon, Wes and East Mcdonnel ranges, down to Simpson Desert, back to Alice, and via the Henbury Craters back to Uluru.
TFTC!

Thx for the cache

On way back to Alice Springs after couple of days at Ross River. Nice walk into the gorge/gap and nice cache. TFTC

Heading out to Ross River in the East MacDonnell Ranges on this part of my great trip up the middle with a couple of muggle friends.
Just picking up random caches while I can without upsetting them to much.
Stopping in at all of the sights along the way.
Said hello to Emily.
Thanks 2 Lost Souls TFTC.

Found on our 2018 mega trip with Roostaman.
Thanks for the cache 2Lost-Souls, cheers from the Riverina, NSW,

**# 21936** Found on our 2018 mega trip from NSW to QLD, the Outback, NT and beyond.
Another nice warm Winter day for a trip around town while at Alice for a few days.
Hardly any muggles around today and a few good quick finds.
Thanks for the cache 2Lost-Souls, cheers from the Riverina, NSW,

A pretty spot to stop and look around. Tftc

Nice quick find, what an amazing area. Left a coles miniature.

This cache was found today and brings our overall cache find tally to 9733. We found this as part of our 2018 Round Australia trip.

Without the hint we would have been stumped on this one.

Thanks 2Lost-Souls for the cache.

Easy find, but I went the round about way. TFTC!!!
