We spent the night camping not far from The Nobel Nob gold mine and then started our way north again this morning picking up caches along the way.

Many years ago Mr Crackers had his pilot's license which he still has but isn't current by quite a few years so we did understand the markers and their meanings but didn't realise that this strip was so long as we never actually flew this far down.
We have since given up flying and now use the money for fuel for the car not the plane. More caches that way.

The cache itself was a nice easy find and our name has now been added to the log which unfortunately has seen better days but is still quite usable.

Thanks The Mavericks for the cache.

Pa really indulged me today and brought me out to grab this cache despite the fact that I had said that the emphasis on caching would be over once we left Alice. A quick find on our way back into town after visiting some of the outlying aches. Thanks for placing this cache for us to find. Stamped log.

7187 - 12:40; Day 24 of the Alice Mega Road Trip with Sol de lune, albida33 and fitzy_1965, so signing logs as A.L.F.S. After attending the Red Centre Experience event in Alice Springs and then heading north to Darwin, the time has come to pack up and head for home. Today we are continuing back along the Stuart Highway to Tennant Creek, then heading over the Barkly. This was our first and only cache find for the day after we had DNFd it on the trip north, having collected the others along today's route last week. TFTC The Mavericks Smile

13647. Only find of Day 14 of the Red Centre Experience Roadtrip. Heading South Again.

I flew into Alice Springs to meet up with my caching mates Sol de Lune, Albida33 and LuckyL10n (signing mostly as ALFS) to attend the Red Centre Experience and then venture up north to Darwin and then east into Qld before heading south for home - a three week caching trek.

Only stop for the day. Quick find at GZ after a DNF here last week. Signed the log, replaced the cache, and it was off to the Barkly Homestead for our overnighter.

TNLN - TFTC !!

Alice trip 2017. Day 22. Today is ANZAC day and I am sad to say I slept through the Dawn Service at Daly Waters. After we were up Sol de Lune, Luckyl10n, Fitzy_1965 and I continued the drive south to three ways then West to the Barkley Homestead. We visited several trigs along the way but only one cache ! I am happy it was replaced while we were further north.

Thanks.

Heading back down the track and towards home with fitzy_1965, LuckyL10n and albida and we grabbed a few caches along the way. We had a couple of DNF's, but in the main all were good and we soon had about 20 for the day.

Thanks to all the caches owners and for the fun in grabbing them.

We spent Easter at the Red Centre Experience Event in Alice Springs then hit the road north toward Tennant Creek before turning east on our geocaching adventure to Cape York.

Glad to finally cross this one off. Couldn't find it when we were here back in 2012 but today walked straight to it. Pity about the information boards at the nearby stop. Most have been vandalized or are missing all together. Thanks

During our vacation we were driving the Outback, today we drove from Tennant Creek to Daly Waters. Of course we had to stop several times and of course we stopped at places with a geocache. Big Grin
Thanks to every cacheowner for showing the nice places. Without geocaching we wouldn't have seen most of them.
