Velk cesta do Ocenie - den 20 - Port Augusta - Coober Pedy, South Australia (540 km)Hned kus za mstem Port Augusta m na Stuart Hwy uvtal npis : "Welcome to Outback". Tak tady kaj t zemi nikoho, kudy vede jen tato cesta, po kter pojedu nkolik dn. A je to docela nez. Silnice tedy ve velmi dobrm stavu, bez dr a dost irok, ale jinak nikde nic. Tak jede 540 km v podstat rovn, obas (tak kadch 50 km) mrn zato, benzinka kadch 250 km a vude kolem nzk bu nkdy proloen stromovm porostem a solnm jezerem. Nebe bylo milostiv a cel den bylo zataeno, ale teplo, take dn slunen vhe jako vera. Jelo se mi tedy o poznn lpe. Ale stejn byla cesta dost monotnn a ani ne v pli pestalo hrt rdio, co je dost zsadn ptel, jede-li v aut sm. No, tak jsem si mohla jen tak pemlet. Nkdo kvli tomu chod camino do Santiaga, j mm tyhle sv road tripy. Akoliv jsem jela pes 500 km divoinou, divok zvata tu tm nejsou. Potkala jsem mimo silnici prek loudajcch se ptros i Emu nebo kho erta. A jeden mi pak stl v cest pmo na Hwy, ale vidla jsem ho vas, tak nov pov boa nemm. K veeru se pak zaali po cest motat jacsi leguni, ale vtin jsem vyhla. A nejsou tu taky skoro dn keky. Pr jsem jich pece jen na trase odlovila a nkter m dost pobavily nzvy jako Permanent Hell i Population ... flies .... 2.000.000. Ob mly pravdu .... Cesta mi zabrala pes 8 hodin vetn zastvek u keek, na vyhldkch, toalet a nkup kvy a coly a dvou kratch prochzek a jedn men off road zajky pro starou keku. To byla tedy vyprskan phoda. Konen nastalo to, eho se tu stle obvm. Dojedu po nezpevnn cest tm ke kece a zbv 200 m do bue, natst s velmi nzkm porostem. Tak jdu a vidm kamennou pyramidu, jasn ke. Kdy jsem nadzvedla ten nejvt utr kryjc keku, zaalo se tam nco kroutit. Jasn had ! Tak jsem jednou rukou vytrhla kovovou bednu s ke a druhou rukou pratila zpt ten utr a uprchla pry. Snad jsem tu potvoru aspo omrila. Ale zvednout ten utr a vrtit box na msto u jsem si tedy netroufla. Radji jsem vedle vytvoila jinou pyramidku z kamen. Ufff ! Toho jsem se bla nejvc ze veho. Ale dobe to dopadlo a j dojela zpt na Hwy a pokraovala v cest. Do slavnho msteka Coober Pedy jsem dojela po 18.hodin, tedy nezvykle brzy, ale mla jsem u cesty pln kecky. Msto je stedisko tby opl a je tm tak proslaven, e cel vypad jako tebn jma Smile. Taky si tu mstn na ochranu ped horkem a aby uetili, kutaj domy do zem. Tak jsem si objednala prv takov motel a mm pokoj vykutan do kopce. Aspo si to vyzkoum. Pank po cest nutn a dnes mm vc asu na logovn a ppravu cesty na ztra, kdy opt pokrauji po Stuart Hwy dl do Rudho stedu Austrlie.Today I started my long road trip through the Australian outback from Port Augusta through Coober Pedy and Yullara to Alice Springs and Tennant Creak and then to the east coast. Hopefully I can do it. It wasn't as hot as yesterday, so I drove 540 km to Coober Pedy quite easily. Along the way, I stopped at a few caches and some of them really amused me like Permanent Hell i Population ... flies .... 2.000.000. Thats true ! Thanks for all caches I visited and greetings from Czech republic.

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 Liz and Bruce, thanks for bringing us here and give our trip a special accent.

Found by The Empire + HThe journey from Port Augusta to Coober Pedy was an adventure like no other. As we left the coastal town behind, we ventured deep into the heart of the Australian outback. The landscape unfolded before us, a vast canvas of red earth and desert scenery.The rich, rusty-red soil seemed to stretch endlessly in all directions. It was a stark contrast to the lush greenery we had left behind, and it felt like we were driving on another planet. Occasional low-lying vegetation and solitary gum trees punctuated the horizon, offering a brief respite from the barren terrain.Quick wander out to grab this one. Thanks for the cache Liz and Bruce.- M

A trip to Perth checking out some of the awesome places along the way in ACT, NSW, Qld and NT. Grabbing some old caches and missing LGAs. TFTC.
Wow. Every inch of this land looks like a possible cache hide. Took a bit to find the obvious icon. Nice hide. Great spot.

What an amazing view especially with the recent rains. The water around the island is probably only an inch or so deep but it makes for an amazing view.
The rocks to GZ were a bit strange looking

Found on the way to Woomera.

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 We drove to Adelaide, visited the koalas and continued north.

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 weiter nach Adelaide, besuchten die Koalas und weiter gings über Port Augusta weiter Richtung Norden.

**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 Liz and Bruce (maintenance by Gumby37) 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.

Find number 11033 at 11:06:10 am on Wednesday the 31 August 2022
Continuing our trip from Melbourne to Darwin and back, we are now on our way back home and traveling from Alice Springs to Port Augusta for a day or two’s R&R there. We grabbed a few caches on the road as we travelled by but sadly heading to a much cooler climate with each kilometer Sad
The ground is very much like a stoney mulch, it’s a wonder anything grows here.
Quick find once I arrived at the GZ.
**Thanks for placing this cache Liz and Bruce**

Signed the log. Thanks for the cache Liz and Bruce.

Catching up on some late logs, now that I have time, while travelling.

We are on the road travelling up through cenral Australian and down the coast of WA. I hope to grab a few caches along the way.

Stopped off here to stretch the legs, so nice to wander into this hide. A nice view to be had also.

Thanks Liz and Bruce (maintenance by Gumby37) for placing this cache and doing the maintenance, so we can enjoy finding it.

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 Smile
Any caches that needed repairs were fixed and numeous logs were replaced or added too.
Thanks to Liz and Bruce from mogni Smile

the cache has grown and now is a small cliplock container. nice views from gz. 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.

05-Sep-21
After traipsing around Western Queensland for 4 1/2 weeks then having to head to Northern Territory to try and get back home that way due to border closures.
I had one of my many permits that I applied for over the course of the last week and I made the NT, SA at 6am and headed straight to Woomera after doing about 830kms.
Settled in at the caravan park had a few beers and some tea.
Got up early hooked up the van and spent the early morning finding all of the caches in Woomera then to continue my journey south towards Quorn which is my next stop.
I nice spot to pullover and have some lunch, take in the views then a nice stroll to the cache.
The wind is still blowing around here and there is nothing better then towing a caravan into a 40km head wind, I’m just watching the fuel gauge go down.
A great cache guardian was soon spotted and I added my name to the log.

Thanks Liz and Bruce & Gumby 37 TFTC.

We pulled into the roadside stop to admire the salty view. I trooped across the saltbush to the cache, which was being guarded by a big lizard of times gone by. Cute.

Full time nomads since 2013. Still tootling around the country trying to avoid Covid hotspots.

Back in SA for harvest work. Heading to Port Pirie but 4 days ahead of schedule so a quick detour to Whyalla was in order.

Stopped here after the roadworks with the caravan on tow. cache in good order, nice cache and good to take a break.

Three weeks on the road for a family holiday to Alice Springs, Ayers Rock and Kings Canyon amongst other cool destinations had us traveling all over the place. We had a great time and the weather was extremely hot with bushfires that actually prevented us from going to some destinations.
We stopped here after a long stretch on the road. It was great to stretch the legs and go for a walk to find the cache.
Cache found and log signed.
Thanks for the hide.

23-Jul-20
We made a quick stop & stroll to get this one on our way to Coober Pedy, still fresh to the outback. Thankfully the GPS worked well as we honestly didn't know what we were heading towards, each of us pointing out random features and saying "it's probably there!" (especially geoniece, that's her favourite tactic lol). I actually spotted this one and got embarrassingly excited at what was on the rock, such a cool idea, and I write this log sitting in my dinosaur PJ pants back home. Definitely a favourite.
