Found it and replaced container. The old container was bigger so had to take the toys out and left the old signed log pages and put in a new book and plastic bag. If anyone has a bigger container feel free to swap so better swaps can be dropped here.

Cache in very poor condition. Very broken and only bits of plastic remain from original container. Log in reasonable condition. Logged but had no container to replace. TFTC

Hello

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 more interesting.

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 then 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.

As I was heading west, about 1.5km from the cache, I was stopped for 10 minutes to allow some filming for a tourism advertisement along the road. For a while I thought I might not be able to get to the cache as they wanted to make sure that I was ‘out of shot’. Turns out the very hill that the cache is located on features in the ad! Fortunately I was eventually able to surreptitiously park behind the hill and sneak up on it without being seen. Oh, the things that happen caching - I never thought I’d have muggle problem out here!

Thanks redcenterdazza for the cache.

This geocacher reported that the container is damaged.

Heading to Chambers Pillar and found this along the way! Beautiful spot so quiet.

Doing some target caching and a lot of travel. More travel than caching but it is well worth it for today's grabs.

Found this on our way out from Chambers Pillar, our last point of interest before we leave the NT and head south again. TFTC.

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.

Found with Beaker and Astronaut99 on a Red Centre Roadtrip Adventure... Thanks

Found during our Red Centre adventures that included Coober Pedy, Uluru, Kata Tjuta, Kings Canyon, Tnorala, West Macs, East Macs, Arltunga, Ruby Gap, Palm Valley, Boggy Hole, Rainbow Valley, Old Ghan Route, Chambers Pillar, Mt Dare, Dalhousie, the Painted Desert and many other fantastic spots!! Travelled and cached with FerociousFlea and Astronaut99.

A little out of the way from the Stuart Highway but well worth the drive. Road was in great condition and a reasonable speed was able to be held

Today we explored Rainbow Valley and Chambers Pillar using Geocaching as a guide and picking up a few caches on the way and this was one of them. An easy find.

Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.

Today's little foray took me along the Hugh River Stock Route to Titjikala and beyond
A lovely drive through spectacular outback scenery.

Just don't rush the journey.
Especially around the railway crossing !!
There area a couple of unexpectedly sharp corners,
as the recent wreckage of one 4WD lying nearby can testify to

Anyhoo you can't rush,
there's a lot of gates to open and close

So by and by,
I reached GZ.
A lonely, cold and windswept place today
Brrrrrr !!

A short, but invigorating stroll took me to the obvious pile of camo [^]

Found with richlink while in Alice Springs for the Red Center Experience Event.
We loved our time here exploring the countryside and finding caches. Thanks redcenterdazza, and everyone else who hide and maintained caches for us all to enjoy.

Headed out with iluvtrekking and Everlasting - our destination was a southward loop from Alice Springs. Saw some amazing countryside, fascinating locations and had a lot of laughs throughout the day. Found all the caches on our 'to do list'. Thanks redcenterdazza

This is find # 24342 for me
Accompanied with Richlink and Ilvutrekking for the day. enjoyed company with them. [^][^]
Thanks redcenterdazza for organising the cache and hunt [^]

Day trip to the South of Alice Springs with the family and burgo78 to log some Earthcaches and others too.
Good to get a chance to stop along the road here, it was a long drive to the Pillar.
Great views as usual!
Thanks for the cache

Out on day 2 of the Alice Mega with Karicka and combining caching with some tourist stops today.
Tftc.

Well, the mega is nearly upon us so i am trying to up my total to reach a milestone for the event. I am a quality Geocacher, not a quantity one, i have been doing it for 13 years and still not near 1000. I cache for the scenery in this beautiful country so i followed the old Ghan line south for a bit, than cut through the Stuart Hwy and back up through Owen Springs road and back to Alice in the dark. 12 for 12 caches for the day and some spectacular scenery and history to see. TFTC TNLN

I am greatful for this cache as my trailer plug had fallen out and if not for stopping I would have destroyed the whole thing,tftc

Found on my way to the Red Centre Mega, in company of Tk2 and LakeEyreMaxReviewing my log notes and log history for errors and found this omission. Apologies for late log.All caches enjoyed and experiences relishedWhat a great country we live in!TFTC

This cache was hiding in just the right place and was easily found. We took the travel bug to move it along as we continue our journey. Log was duly signed and then all was put back into place. Thanks again redcenterdazza for you contribution to the caching game.

TFTC

Catching up on some late, very late and extremely late logs (400 in all)

I would like to thank redcenterdazza for placing this cache. I always enjoy getting out and about to view this great country of ours and caching allows me to do that. Once at GZ, I sometimes find the cache quickly but sometimes it takes awhile to sus out the well camouflaged hide. Once found, log is signed and the cache is rehidden as found.

Once again thanks redcenterdazza.

We found this cache on our Northern road trip, which was to celebrate my significant birthday. We saw some great places, met some wonderful people and slept through some 3 dog nights. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and finding caches made the trip more memorable – Thank you and ……Joy to the World!!

Found when travelling from Rainbow Valley to Chambers Pillar.

Travelling along this road on our way to Chambers Pillar, our Trakmaster East-West trek members topped with us while we made our find. TNLN. Thanks redcenterdazza.

Beautiful scenery which we would never have seen without this Geocache. Thanks.

Found on the way to Chambers Pillar. Sooo quiet. TFTC.

Day 3 of the trek to Darwin for the V8's. Todays journey took me from Marla to Alice Springs via a couple of detours - who needs bitumen anyway. TFTC.

Cache was broken and full of water - replaced the container and log

Found this one just out of luck, turned the GPS on just 2km away. Using our Hema maps we discovered a different way out of Chambers Pillar, much nicer going this way than on the horrible corrugated road.

A little cache way out here, thanks redcentredazza. Showed some Muggles about caching here, they tagged along for our adventure out of Chambers Pillar.

TFTC

Needs new container as full of water. We found this on our way from Finke Gorge to Chambers Pillar. TFTC TNLN!

great view

Good place to stop along this road. I think it has been muggled by a dingo or something as the container had been chewed and the contents scattered around.
Did some temp maintainence so all good for the moment. Will need a new container soon though.
Left Hummer.
Took nothing.

Great find with Vinobambinos while on a Wayoutback adventure in Australia's red center. First find for Becca our guide - what FUN!!

Found while on an excursion with WAYOUTBACK outfitters.

TFT:)

Nice hide and great views from here. Nice track as well! TFTC redcenterdazza.

This was a beautiful spot for a cache. Took some spectacular photos of scenary. A lovely drive through here; lots of wildlife to see and negotiate through. Thanks redcentredazza for a memorable spot

its so beautiful here, thank you so much

Nice view, TFTC!

Nice find on the way to Uluru. Glad that the road had just been graded. TFTC!

The view was green, greeen green and the road a little wet SL TFTC

I was wondering why anyone would put a cache way out there . . . until I got there. What a pretty spot. TFTC

Thanks Dazza nice spot for a cache well worth the drive

Beautiful spot - feel like a person can really breathe out here.

Where else out here would you find a cache? Found on our way from a night at Chambers Pillar to a night at Henbury Craters. Left a klem bear and took nothing. TFTC

Darrin, redcentredazza, and Megan, MAMEDINA, kindly volunteered to take me out to do some 4WD caches today. This was our 3rd find of 6 on a great days caching. Nice easy find. Thanks for the great cache Darrin.
