Tftc enjoy this one is the final find for our days stay here

It's very interesting to visit.
Loved outback.

TFTC cannot imagine staying for 6 months

Found while visiting from Canberra on a 4wd tour of outback icons. A quick find. Cache is in good shape. TFTC

Found this one back in August with DivCommm, sorry, forgot to log it. Interesting site, unable to imagine this place in that era.

Stopping for a break after being at Packsaddle Gymkhana and Bikehana over Easter. TFTC and for bringing us here.

Currently on a roadtrip with buddies (McLookers, micaparamedic and TheDame) to Mildura, MacCabe's Corner, Broken Hill, Tibooburra, Cameron Corner, Orroroo and back to Adelaide.

It didn't take us too long to put our hands on this one. Certainly an interesting area to explore.

Thanks gold1313 for the cache.

Sad story. Thank you for highlighting. Found with micaparamedic, GoodLook and The Dame.

Thank you for the cache.

Able to reach well.

Interesting site great camp site TFTC

Tftc. Very interesting spot.

Nice spot

It’s so interesting to come to places like this, it’s hard to imagine the hardships people went through to live out here.
It’s all so green after the rain, I’ve been to so many places like this and it was only dust.

as we have a look around the area this was one of the caches we found

A good day was had while grabbing these caches
Thanks gold1313 for placeing them

Out caching with Beaker and Karlth2021 on our Outback adventure.
Camped nearby, once the correct tree was found cache was an easy find, lots of ground cover here at the moment.
TFTC

Found with Kellmik and Karlth2021 on our 15 day, 7000+ km trip around the outback taking in iconic locations such as the Gawler Ranges, Googs Track, Kingoonya, Woomera, Oodnadatta Track, Marree, Birdsville Track, Mungerannie, Birdsville, Bedourie, Boulia, Diamantina NP, Winton, Longreach, Windorah, Haddon Corner, The Dig Tree, Innamincka, Old Strezlecki Track, Milparinka, Silverton and Broken Hill.
In all is was an absolutely fantastic trip with lots of wonderful things to see.
This cache was one of over 120 that we found during our outback drive.
Camped close to here for the night. Recent rains had meant there was heaps of growth around the edges of the creek. Easily found once I'd found the right tree.

After a nights stop at Cobham rest area we made our way north to Tibooburra, without planning to make any stops. At the turnoff to Milparinka I remember camping at the cairn just outside the town many years ago and my desire to venture deeper was made easier when I found out 2 historic caches lay down beyond those dusty roads. It was a great decision, learnt a lot about sturts expedition, and James Poole who died of a common disease back then, scurvy. Very historic. Brilliant detour off the silver hwy. Tftc

Found on our Tibooburra adventure, great hide

TFTC

Thanks for the interesting visit to an important historical site.

Thx for this remote cache and a FavPoint.

Significant historic site.Great foray ca he.

Thanks for bringing us out to this historic place.

TFTC

Good little hiding spot

TFTC! Picked up exploring Milparinka on the way back home. Another spot we may not have otherwise ventured to

Found after Sturts Cairn. What an interesting piece of history, and great to be able to visit the caches in this area which look to mostly be on private stations. Found this one with all three geokids, then explored the memorials. Thanks for bringing us here. On to Tibooburra for the night..!

19.09.18 tftc found while taking my parents for a drive from my daughters station Pineview

Wrong name corrected but the other spelling error left for eternity. A remote spot to lie quietly. TFTC

A lonely spot - no wonder he died if his boss made him build the cairn on the nearby hill.

Found during an epic trip to 3 of SA state's corners - Haddon, Cameron and MacCabe. There was dust, eagles, a flat, video and lots of photography, mud and mostly more dust. An event in Innamincka broke up the dust and quenched the thirst.

Thanks to gold1313 and **clear skies** from TeamAstro. [^] Cache the planet! [:o)]

We are nomads. Having left Perth WA in February 2014 we now live in our caravan and go wherever the will or caches take us.

On this trip we are travelling from Birdsville to Broken Hill with our caravan on tow.

The track was very rocky and bumpy after having had so much Big Red Bash traffic.

Oh how tough it would have been in 1860!

Mr Felix made the climb here and even managed to make a phone call from the cairn. Back to the geocruiser, then down to Milparinka to pick up the caravan before continuing on. Lunch time so we enjoyed the bestest hamburger at the pub before venturing further south.

After a little bit of a search around, managed to zone in on geozone and quickly found the cache. Tftc

Find #1090

Out and about on trip with camper trailer, destination unknown.
Heading towards Tibooburra for tonight and making good time I figured I'd stop by here for a look around. After the obligatory photos, I got down to business of searching for the geocache which was quickly located.
Both cache and log in good condition.
Thanks gold1313 for the excuse for a detour

Tftgc. Up out of harms way when it rains.

Another fantastic piece of history. Cache all good. Thank you gold 1313

**Find #1047**

Thanks for bringing us here for a history lesson. A great place to stretch the legs and think about the hardships our early explorers had to endure.

Thanks **gold1313**

A meandering tour in outback NSW after spending some time at Cober.
I can understand why they camped in this area, nice spot.

Found with the family during a trip to outback NSW.

We were quite fascinated by this location and enjoyed the drive from Milparinka to the site of Poole's grave.

Thanks gold1313 for the cache.

After the world championship pool game at the Tibooburra pub, we were on our way down to Broken Hill for a big night in the shed with friends, but not before wheeling in here for a bit of a look.
We all descended on masse on GZ and a search was thrown everywhere until the cache was finally found and we signed our lives away.
A large fallen branch had us worried for a while but the cache host is all OK.

A bit of a detour from our southward journey saw us at this historic place. A fallen tree branch (huge one) had us worreid intially but geoD came up trumps eventually.

found it on our trip to birdsville

Found on August 18 on a visit to this historic area. Thanks for placing this cache. I took the knife sharpener and left a pathtag
We need more caches like this in the out of the way places and not in parks in cities etc.

We found this cache had been well cemented into place by the local insects but a bit of muscle power managed to get it out. The cache and contents were all in good condition. The log was soon signed and all was returned to its hiding place again. It is interesting to find places related to the first explorers and where they had been camped and routes they followed etc. Thank you to gold1313 for bringing us to this place and for using caching to draw attention to places of historical interest.

Will move on soon. You need to get to water

Found while traveling with friends

came up to milperka to visit a muggle friend living here, the condition of visit was camerons corner and these 2 geocaches he was going to take me too. walked around and found cache, dropped a tb, maybe that will get more people out here, these caches seem a little unloved. cache condition good, log dry.

We decided to leave our bus at Tibooburra and drive
the car down to Milparinka to find the local hides.
This is such a lonely place for a cemetery but beautiful
in lovely treed area.
Found the cache ok then paid our respects to the local
residents.
Signed and replaced as found.

Thanks gold1313

(Found 08/07/2105) Doing some sight seeing on our way back from Birdsville and the Big Red Bash. This place is so interesting. TFTC

Found with Justjessie on our trip to Camron corner and back. TFTC

Found with O319. TFTC!

How old must the tree be????? also had a look at Depot Glen. What a story !! thanks gold1313

What a lonely place to die. Thanks for the GC

Found it

Found it with the kids on the Marsteen outback adventure

This was a really interesting place to visit. There wasn't anyone else in the area today so we made a muggle-free find then went to inspect the gravesites. Thanks heaps for bringing us to this historic location & for the cache.

Doing a two week road trip of the outback from Canberra through to Cameron's Corner, Broken Hill and the Northern parts of Victoria with Genghicat.

After yesterday's dismal effort (single cache), we decided to up the ante a little and managed three whole caches (although with one of them we did manage to cache in three states lol). This one was an especially tough cache given the area had been covered with an inch of rain the previous night and the drive was a little slippery. But it was an amazing trip and one full of memories.

This was a nice quick cache, although it did end up taking 40 minutes out of our way and this, combined with a stop in Packsaddle, did mean we were really late getting into Broken Hill and we had to drive slowly in the dark to dodge all of the roos, cattle, sheep, bunnies and other assorted wildlife.

Interesting to see the history of this place and again, it's another place that we wouldn't have visited had it not been for a well placed cache..

Ring in, bracelet out. Dry waterhole, 40 deg at 5 pm.

Found during our trip across the Rugged Simpson Desert, while enjoying all the history and picturesque scenery.

Cheers and thanks for the cache

Found during TWDG's trip to the Birdsvillle Races in Sept 14
Cool caches, great country.
Thanks to all who have placed caches

What a soulful place. So much beauty and history intertwined. . I only " just" reached it. Could be hard to get if the creek flooded. Thanks for this cache.

169 years almost to the day, no water today either, can't imagine hanging about here for 6 months building a rock cairn on Mt Poole as it's now known. Pleased to do this one for its historical significance. Tftc ,now off to Mt Poole.

TFTC an easy find and interesting bit of history

I admire them for using that water. Great place to come.

On a trip retracing Sturt's steps for the brother in law's upcoming book. Great to find this cache while looking for Traces of the underground room that was built by Sturt's crew. Thanks for the great hide.

interesting place, would have never come here without the cache. gc as it should be! TFTC!

Located on our 3 corners outback adventure TFTC.We spent last night in Tipoburra. Today we visited the local sights in the Milparinka ara before moving onto Camerons Corner.

Found this cache as part of our adventure to outback NSW.

We were going to have lunch here but a lack of shade and rather hot temps forced us to find the cache, read the graves and move on. We still had a lot of driving to do.
Thanks

Found on our trip following the steps of some of the early explorers. School kids don't realise how tough it was for the guys who their sporting houses are named after. Great view from here. TNLN. TFTC.

Found this one while tracing the footsteps of our explorers. A great spot and the cache was found by my friend who is a serial camping pest.

We came over her to visit the local features. Lovely little creek . Enjoyed Depot Glen too. TFTC
One question: Why is this cache called "Dans Grave" as none of the headstones were for a "Dan"?
TFTC

A nice little detour, great place! TFTC!

Found on GEOWIFES birthday trip
A great place for a cuppa and a break. After searching for caches that have washed away this is a pleasant change.
TFTC TN Left Survival Key ring

Introduced a new young cacher at this one, on our way to see sturts cairn, on a slippery drive to the eveings digs. Cheers, MODU.

Found this one on our second attempt at getting to GZ, the first time was 11 months ago, and we found the GeoPajero sliding in to flooded waters quicker than the floods came up and went..... at one stage we thought we might be camping on the track for days,... it took 45minutes to reverse the Pajero back 800metres to firm ground....Pheew...!!
This time was a bit different,(it was drier) we were on our way to Cameron Corner & thought we would grab this cache on the way again, ( as we did last year.....LOL).
Loved the history with this cache was truly amazing what one learns caching.
Found the cache quickly signed the log and left a geocoin

A quick find for us in a great part of the world.
I took the oppurtunity to start discussing Australian explorers with my son as they are learning about Amelia Earhart and the opening up of the American west at school. Whatever happened to Australian History as a subject??

Anyway we worked out that we had passed Lostmonster & Co on our way into this cache when we caught up to them at Tibooburra.

TFTC

A neat hide in a neat spot.

What a journey it must have been to get here all those years ago! Well worth the detour from the highway.

Cheers

Our 5220th overall find.

I missed this cache last year but came back this year on a motorbike. What a way to travel through this country, well worth the detour! I was a bit disappointed to see that the nearby Milparinka Hotel has closed. Thanks for sharing this area with us.

Thanks to gold1313 for the cache.

Had been here 14 years ago to which the landscape was very dry and barren, where as today it was a total change as there is lots of vegetation and wildlife around. A nice easy find. Thanks for bringing us back to this historical spot. Just a quick note for future travellers the Milparinka Pub is now closed , the owner is looking for someone to run it.

Well we were on the way to this one when mother nature opened up the dark clouds above, and the track became un-driveable, we were sliding all over the place even in 4wd low range, and the track was covered in water just abit further down, so we thought it best not to go any further and get ourselfs bogged.
We will be back to do this Cache, have a look at Pooles grave and have a Cold Beer and a Steak Sanga at Milparinka Pub.

found with some friends that i'm taking on a tour of historical Australian places and this was a bonus. thanks Acko

FTF Very much an honour to get FTF on this one as our surname is Poole and my middle name is James though bearing no relation to the gentleman here. We arrived to find quite a crowd gathered around the graves so we were quick to grab the cache and sign the log while they were busy. It turned out to be the entire heirachy of the NSW NPWS. We spent the next half hour enjoying a chat with the Head ranger of Sturt NP, A character of a lady and very passionate about HER park.
Thanks Gold

Wanted to have a go at this one but SA road closures due to floods have meant we have come back into NSW at Broken Hill not Tiboburra.

500 km detour is just too far.
