Thanks for the cache!

TFTC we did the ridge walk and found it on the way back down.

Our NEW ZEALAND - TASMANIA - AUSTRALIA JOURNEY takes us to beautiful places and provides us with an incredible number of wonderful moments and experiences.Occasionally we also visit a few GeoCaches along the way.After an almost spooky... quiet night here at the campground..., we hiked after breakfast... first along the Panorama Trail, then along the Trephina Gorge Walk. We were able to sign the guest list here very quickly....Thank you for placing, maintaining and caring snapfish2 from SwitzerlandPS: Translated with the Deepl app

TFTC. Quick find. This spot has amazing views.

gorge-us2.5/3.5 Regular Traditional Cache Found at S 23 31.119' E 134 23.762'Was highly recommended by Steph from the Tourist Info and Heart Foundation Walkers Group to explore this side of the MacDonnell Ranges. And since there's a cache/s here, why not? Thank you for the cache fixedonfind.

Did a very quick scramble up the path for this cache and a few photos then back down to rejoin the tagalong group. Certainly got the blood pumping tftc

Easily find after a pleasant walk along the cliff top TNLNSL nice to see a larger cache out here

Fantastic spot for a cache great views worth the climb. Thank you.

Found nice and easily. The hint was helpful and guided us to the right spot. TFTC

Out for a nice walk this morning after staying the night. Found the cache pretty easily thanks.

An impressive walk with plenty of ripple rocks along the way. We're going to continue the gorge walk and thankfully the cache was a quick find TFTC

We decided on swing the Ridgetop walk to the lookout and back. We grabbed this on the way to the lookout as we weren't sure if we would do the gorge walk on the way back. We found this one pretty easily as gps was quite accurate.
Bag has disintegrated but everything is nice and dry.

Found during our gorge walk.

Found it. Quick find. Left a little surprise.

TFTC. Nice spot, views and walk.

We forgot to download details before we left reception but managed to find this using the GPS. Muggles close on our heels we decided to head nearby and find a rest spot for a drink. Perfect choice as it turned out - we almost sat on the cache! Log signed, snack eaten we carried on happily. TFTC

Lots of places to look but found it after getting phone reception at Turners lookout and downloading this cache.

Went for a walk in 36 degree heat and hoped the view would be worth it. The view was worth the walk. have another fav point. Found in the last place i looked.

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.

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 fixedonfind from mogni

TFTF, all good.

Great to be able to find this geocache.

We did the hike up the hill to the cache. It was not too difficult and the views of Trephina Gorge were brilliant. The cache was found easily. I picked up a pathtag and left a TB here.

Found with Mosaikmum and Agelessone while on our holiday trip through Queensland and central Australia TFTC

Found while on a great walk in a great location. Found with vk2rg and Agelessone. vk2rg replaced cache container and Agelessone picked up a trackable. Signed the log. Left a pathtag and a trinket for the geokids. TFTC!

Found the cache. Took the trackable. Thanks for the cache.

Great spot!

Extraordinary location. Amazing view. Trust your GPSr and check the hint before you start. 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.

Up we went. Cache eventually spotted.

TFTC

Found it quickly.

I had a great time exploring the area.
TFTC

Oh, it is up there. Easy find but from memory there was a hole in the lid.

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

TFTC awesome location! Lid is broken on the cache.

TFTC the name says it all

Lid has big hole in it and needs replacing

Found it TFTC
Lid has big hole needs replacing

The gorge is gorgeous... but compass uncooperative. 40- 50 m circle sweeps on all directions. ..

A quick trip to the centre over the ten day easter break. Picked up a few caches i hadn't done and saw some spectacular scenery. TFTC TNLN

Alice is expecting rain so I've come out this way to get a few more smileys in the area before the roads are too messy. Once again this is another fabulous location, the place has soo many. I enjoyed the loop walk whilst here, terrific views and even a sense of accomplishment as I don't like heights. TFTC

I was heading up to Alice Springs from Adelaide on my own to meet up with FeatherWaite and decided to deviate a little to make the journey

I ended up travelling via Lambert Centre, Finke, the Old Ghan track, Chambers Pillar, the Hugh River Stock Route, Rainbow Valley, Owen Springs Reserve and a trip out to Ruby Gap for good measure, finding a few caches along the way. It took me a few days longer, but was well worth it.

Found this one on a visit to Trephina Gorge on my way to Alice Springs from Ruby Gap.

Thanks fixedonfind for the cache.

Great loop walk and fantastic views. Always a bonus to have a cache to grab. TFTC

Heading out to do a few of the gorges and water holes in the West 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.
Walked the looop track and took in all of the fantastic views along the way
Thanks Fixedonfind TFTC

Found after a great loop walk up and around on and off track back to the gorge. TFTC!!!!

We completed this walk the afternoon that we arrived, but foolishly did not check for caches beforehand (or even during our walk). We were not going to bother about it, but the next morning DD was up and about and decided to climb from the reverse direction to the previous day. She was glad that she did, as the light and views seemed particularly amazing first thing in the morning. TFTC

The Big Western Australia trip in 2018. Day 9. Today was a long day getting to head North, starting with a loop around the East McDonald Ranges, including Trephina Gorge and Arltunga. I got to revisit the Plenty Highway via the current Binns track and after a quick stop at Gemtree back to the Highway till dusk.

It was a solid clamber to get up here, but well worth it. The view down into gorge and across the range is fantastic.

Thanks.

WHOOPS! I'm logging about 100-200 or so caches like 3 months after the trip that we found them on! Completely forgot to log these but I did not forget the trip! Found this cache along with many others on an adventure around the red centre. Along this adventure we visited and explored many phenomenal and surreal places such as Woomera, Coober Pedy, Uluru and Mutitjulu, Kata Tjuta, Wattarka, Tnorala, Both East and West Macdonnell ranges, Arltunga, Ruby Gap, Palm Valley, Parts of the Finke road, Boggy Hole, Rainbow Valley, Old Ghan Route, Chambers Pillar, Oodnadatta track, Mount Dare, Dalhousie Springs, Painted Desert, Moon plane and I'm sure I've missed a few! Thank you so much for the cache. Found with Ferociousflea and -Beaker- along with our mint 79 series that accomplished alot in this two week time frame.

TFTC a great spot

Short walk to get this one, but the views were spectacular. TFTC

This gorge is beautiful, I love the smoothness of the rocks and the work that has gone into the trail by the rangers is astounding. We left a big rockstack for others to add to just before the cache. The cache container is starting to get some holes in it so may need replacing soon. TFTC

Found at 11:30:00 AM. Staying in Alice for a few days, driving around sightseeing and grabbing a few caches.

Thanks fixedonfind.

Spectacular and stunning. Love this Gorge country. Cache has a hole and may need replacing before next wet. TFTC

Back in Alice Springs after a month in Darwin catching up on caches not collected on our last visit. Love the outback and the trekking around Trephina Gorge Nature Park. An easy find with great views and adding to our favourites.

Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.

This was found as part of our journey from Mildura to Darwin and return
thank you fixedonfind for placing the cache

TFTC

The best stroll around the gorge is the Ridgetop Walk
Which was where this cache was hiding !!
The views along the cliff tops are indeed … gorgeous

And away from the muggles who seem to prefer creek-life,
I soon found this cache nestled away [^]

TFTC and a good bit of exercise on the stroll up the hill

One of several found in this region on ANZAC Day. We thought Trephina was one of the prettiest spots we found on this side of Alice in the East Macs. Thanks for placing a cache, which is aptly named.

Found during the Alice not-a-mega. I lived on this park for 3 months in 1997 and this was my first visit back here in 20 years. Really great to come back. Fav point awarded. Thanks Fixedonfind

Found as part of the 'Capital Crunchers' team for the day

Wow! Loved this location. TY.

Thanks to fixedonfind for the cache.

Found during our five week journey half-way around Australia, for the NT Experience OzMega event, somewhere between: ACT -> NSW -> Qld -> NT -> SA -> Vic -> NSW -> ACT.

So many stories to tell. So many experiences had. So little time to mention them all.

A short stroll up on top of the gorge. Could see the wallsand just how big it was. Found quickly even though toy hunters complained about the heat he took off down the hill leaving me to take some photos tftc

Found on our Red Centre Experience. Well, I don't know what to say about these ones! We and mr_roo started driving along the dirt road, however once we reached the sandy river crossing, we were not comfortable to drive further. Despite the massive heat, the majority of us decided to walk the remaining 950m to the car park of Trephina Gorge - I admit, I winged quite a lot about the hot and long walk, so I apologise to our guest mr_roo for my poor and negative attitude. However, once we finally worked our way up this hill, the views above the gorge of the surrounding mountains were absolutely fantastic! I personally prefered the gorge from the inside, but it was still quite spectacular above. Once at GZ, we admired the rock wall and then found the cache reasonably quickly - the lid is cracked, but it seems to be doing alright at the moment. TNLNSL. TFTC fixedonfind!

17 April 2017 3:37 PM Found with Gonefishen07 and Ashy's Angels on our little adventure to Alice Springs. Thank you for taking the time to place the cache and show us this beautiful area.

In Alice springs for the Red Centre Experience event. I drove out to the gorge for sightseeing and caches, and ended up staying the night in the campground. TFTC!

Today we headed out to Trephina Gorge to have a look for wildlife and do the touristy thing.

I headed up the rocks from the carpark with the intention of grabbing this one and found some magnificent views. It didn't take too long before I laid my eyes on the container, so I added my name before heading back down to the earthcache.

This was actually a beautiful view!! The task of finding it was completed quickly so we could move on to the next!

TFTC

Came for a run out here to see this gorge and it was a spectacular sight from both above and below. Think it was ripples from an ancient seabed that I could see on the rocks on the walk up. Found the cache and 'ooh goody!' there was a path tag in it, left by Kittykatch so I was pretty excited about that! Thank you for leaving it Kitty katch. Cache was put back nice n safe. TFTC

Enjoy caching around AS with Deaf Geo for the day...
thanks for the hunting and cache.

Caching my way from Adelaide to Alice Springs via Uluru for the Red Centre Experience event. Today was day six and our last full day in Alice Springs. My travel companions AlphaDeltaIndigo, Moneydork, semik and I grabbed everything we could as we explored eastwards into the ranges. The day ended at Felix II's caravan and a glass of wine in hand...

This was find number 24 of 28 for the day for me. TFTC fixedonfind!

Caching in the Alice Springs and Eastern MacDonnell ranges region for the long, long weekend all thanks to the Red Center Experience geocaching event in Alice 13-17th April 2017. My apologies for a generic log, but I'm notorious for not logging my caches. I am just trying to get up-to-date so someday I can celebrate milestones again. cheers and thanks to all for their efforts to make the hide findable and most in a location worthy of a visit without geocaching (but I'm glad I got a smiley too!)

What a great walk looking down into the gorge. A stunning area. TFTC!
Cheers,
The Hancock Clan

Camping at the nearby Red Centre Experience and grabbing a couple of quick caches to keep the streak going a little longer.

The Capital Cachers made arrangements to head out in four cars today to explore the East McDonnell ranges. This was a really interesting gorge and I would have loved to have more time to explore. We made our way up the rim walk to make the find and enjoy the views. TFTC
