We were checking on one of our own caches and realised this one has been sitting in our draft logs since last year from our epic Madigan Line and elsewhere trip. All sorted now. TFTC Smile
 
26-May-22
We decided to load up the camper and run away from home for a week or two. The rain and a domestic water repair made us change our plans a few times but it didn't detract from the fun. We met quite a few people and learnt a lot from them - we were privileged to be shown a dugout at Coober Pedy and station life at Edeowie. We also found time to find a few caches, but we still have many unfound in the areas visited. Looking forward to returning to the upper north of South Australia one day soon.
Thank you to all those who helped make our trip very enjoyable.

From Munich to Innsbruck/Austria to Bali/Indonesia to the Australian Outback and Sydney and at least a 9-hour stop-over in Guangzhou/China.

The trip took us approx. 3 weeks but we had a lot of fun. We have seen so many beautiful things - amazing!

Along the way - sometimes we also stopped by and had a look for a Geocache Wink

It appears that these carrots are boring. They have bored a hole in to the ground. But then again, isn’t that just they way they grow?

Sorry for the late log ! Found this as we slowly made our way back home after the Red Centre Event via Coober Pedy and the the William Creek Rd and Oodnadatta Track.. We loved the country out here and the chance to stop for a few smileys give us a way to explore, stretch the legs and top up the coffee cup !

Thanks for this cache Psalm 118;24. We rejoiced and were glad.

At the moment Pfote and me are on a work and travel backpacking trip through the world. After I've spent a full year in Australia Pfote joined me for my second year down here. We will definitely try to collect a lot of boxes and all the special things in every state all around and right through the middle. 

Now, after a bit more than twenty-four months we're finally on our last big journey through the country. From Melbourne to Adelaide and up north to Alice Springs and then past the Uluru via the great central road to Perth. Of course with a load of detours wherever we find something awesome.

This one was a quick and easy find.

TFTC and greetings from Germany.

#1628 Ahh carrots, we had some roasted ones with our remote roast last night, absolutely delish! We found the cache however it had been destroyed and the contents tipped out and ruined including the log book. We installed a temporary replacement (our salt was transferred to a ziplock bag for the remainder of our SA roadtrip) and we put a few sheets of paper in for logging purposes. TFTC Psalm 118:24.

Central Australia trip Crossing the Simpson and Innaminka, August 2014. After many years away from the Oodnadatta track and Innaminka, it was time for a another tour. This time in Company with seven cars to tackle the obstacles. Caching opportunities were a little thin, but the ones that were out here are all in great places. One of several roadside stops over the first few days of my trip. Thanks.

Thank for this neat cache.
We were heading towards the Flinders Ranges after travelling from Mt Dare.
Many thanks for the cache.

We ventured further north from Port Augusta, for supplies before heading home via Marree, Oodnadatta, Coober Pedy, Mt Dare, and the Simpson Desert, after attending Oz Mega 2014.

We stayed at Coward Springs overnight, and continued our trip up the track. We were headed for Coober Pedy today, but specifically wanted to head to Lake Eyre.

After our trip our to Lake Eyre, we headed west towards Coober Pedy, for resupply and to see Mrs Bundys cousin. The road was officially open, but as we found out later- when we were talking to the road repair crew, they had actually advised to only open it to 4wds. They had pulled 3 young foreign tourists out of a bog between William Creek and Coober Pedy about an hour before we came past. We didn't pass these tourists on the road, so its believed they may have tried to get to Lake Cadi, and were probably stuck somewhere on that road. Not good. Ill equipped and ill informed as to outback travel.

All is good with the cache.

Cheers
