On my roundtrip along Australia with Oopie we are douing always some caches.Today we ware on the way to and in Alice Springs and we did a few nice caches.CO thanks for bringing us on this nice place and make this cache.

Together with Travelser I'm going Down Under. We are driving around with a motorhome. Started on the 17th September in Cairns. Our plan is driving.along the eastcoast down. Then in the south on to Adelaide and from there ending the 31th October in Alice Springs.During our trip we of course search for several caches. Most of them brought us to very nice spots, like this one.All the CO's, and in this case WanderingAus, thanks for bringing us here and give our trip a special accent.

Got it

On our travels we stopped to stretch our legs and of course grab this cache, a nice quick find, thanks for placing it

Quick find.

Wow there are some flies here. Spent the night here 4 years ago. TFTC

We picked out a few of these SRR caches to grab on the way South and this was chosen due to its size and the last cache before out stop for the night.

This trip was sort of in place of a trip to a Mega that got canceled due to accommodation problems, I was quite happy when Goose said do you fancy to caching break in the Northern Territory as this would be the last State or Territory for me in Australia.

Our plan was to fly into Darwin on the Friday night have a couple days in the area then start heading South stopping overnight whenever we needed to, our next goal was the drive to the geographic centre of Australia at Lambert Centre and then head back to Alice to fly home ten days later.

We both had a great trip finding some important old caches, large ones and the odd clever one too, we found Ammo Cans all over the place which was nice as i think we have found most of the ones at home in Tassie.

Thanks for the cache.

from Coober Pedy to Alice Springs today
Tftc to WanderingAus

Thanks for the change of pace on the long drive from Coober Pedy to Alice Springs

Together with my favorite geocacher Milonguera we traveled to Australia We went to Melbourne via Singapore and from there we explore the south, the center and the east coast.
We walked around Melbourne and had a nice meet & greet event. Than we visited Philip Island with the pinguins and the Great Ocean Road. We fed and petted kangaroos visited the koalas and continued north via Coober Pedy to Alice Springs.

Zusammen mit meiner Lieblingsgeocacherin Milonguera reise ich nach Australien. Über Singapur flogen wir nach Melbourne und von dort wollen wir mit dem Camper den Süden, das rote Zentrum und die Ostküste erkunden. Wir liefen durch Melbourne und trafen nette Menschen bei unserem Event, wir besuchten Philip Island mit den Pinguinen und die Great Ocean Road mit den 12 Aposteln.
Wir fuhren nach Adelaide, besuchten die Koalas und weiter gings Richtung Norden über Coober Pedy bis nach Alice Springs.

**Thanks for the cache!
Thanks for showing the location and for hiding the cache. You should come to Berlin in Germany to find a lot of interesting geocaches, visit lost places in the surrounding Brandenburg and meet nice people at many events.
I wish you a lot of fun and great adventures while searching for the next geocache!**

Ich bedanke mich bei WanderingAus für den Cache, das Zeigen dieses Ortes, das Legen und Pflegen der Dose und den Spaß beim Finden! Thanks for the cache!
Ich wünsche weiterhin viel Spaß bei der Suche nach den Dosen, nette Menschen beim nächsten Event und tolle Erlebnisse und Abenteuer beim Suchen und Finden!

Ohne tolle Owner wie Euch wäre das Spiel nicht möglich. Ich freue mich, wenn Ihr auch meine Caches in Berlin-Britz besucht. Neben der Hufeisensiedlung, die zum Kulturwelterbe der Unesco gehört, gibt es viele alte Bunker zu entdecken und die Baustelle der Autobahn A100 ist auch immer wieder interessant. Von der neuen Minna-Todenhagen-Brücke zwischen Baumschulenweg und Oberschöneweide hat man einen schönen Blick auf die Spree und kann nebenbei ein paar Dosen finden.
An Neumond lade ich zum Sternegucken auf die Berliner Berggipfel oder an astronomische Orte ein. In der dunkelsten Nacht zwischen den Vollmonden genießen wir den Blick auf die blinkenden Sterne und die funkelnde Stadt Berlin.

Hi

Great spot for a cache and a wee. TFTC. SL AT 11.45 am.

Two teams visiting from Victoria - Harrowang and beavar. Today we are travelling from Alice Springs to Uluṟu. Another stop to find a cache and use the conveniences. SL at 11.44am These desert oaks are obviously related to our she-oaks back home - loving them. #8694 TFTC WanderingAus

quick find.

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 WanderingAus from mogni

Alice Springs to Adelaide Roadtrip
Day Three: Alice Springs to Coober Pedy.

Finally hitting the road and covering some distance. Quite hot and blue skies but everything is so green from the recent rains, I feel like I’ve been lucky and this is a special time to do this trip. Still water on the ground in most creeks!

Nicely placed to break the journey. Thanks WanderingAus

Good easy find

Thanks

Found during a trip from Adelaide to the northern tip of Australia and back. Traveling up solo along the Strzelecki Track to Innamincka, then through central Queensland to Quilpie, Blackall, Barcaldine, Hughendon and Ravenshoe to Cairns. In Cairns I met up with e.gregory1 and a non-cacher friend and spent three weeks on Cape York Peninsula before making our way back to Cairns and Mareeba. From there I headed on my own back home via Normanton and Karumba, Cloncurry, Mount Isa, Tennant Creek and back down the Stuart Highway through Alice Springs to Adelaide. All in all I spent six weeks on the road, visited many out of the way locations, enjoying the scenery and finding caches along the way. Thanks for the cache WanderingAus!

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.

This cache was a nice opportunity to get out of the car and stretch the legs.

Thanks for the cache WanderingAus.

Today we drove from Alice Springs to Yulara and picked up some caches along the road. We thoroughly enjoyed our miniature road trip, even Mrs Bear, who always gets awfully sleepy on the highway, didn't close an eye.

A nice easy park and grab on the way North to Alice.
