Many hands and eyes make light work with E95. Great cache but slightly out from GZ
Wow, took us a while but we managed Thanks for the exciting find Croker Crew Left one of Corrunnaroad's pathtags for the next adventurer as we are hunting down her 28-in-a-day challenge with BLM1973
With the overnight rain, the weather was slightly cooler, so we decided to walk along this track instead of our usual beach walk with the family dog. I also wanted to complete this trail of caches as I had found half of them on previous visits to Darwin. We spent a good 10 minutes searching around gz but I couldnt see any rocks; then I spread my search and at last found the cache about 10m out - among rocks - in good condition. Im sure theres a lot more undergrowth than when it was placed. Again, the last person to sign was in June. Tftc
The pen has left us today. No pen inside. Another one we can't sign today. Cool cache!
Today we walked and walked in Casuarina Coastal Reserve along the many trails, finding Darwin's first 'power' trial and completing it along with some other caches in the reserve. Some caches were easier to find than others, some were in prickly bush areas, others searching amongst the debris. Pick up trackable to move on. TFTC
We decided to go for a bike ride along this coastal track to the dripstone cliffs. Was quite a nice ride with no to many people on the track.
We searched for quite awhile on this one and were giving up, we were a bit away from the coordinates and a lot closer to the track when I spotted it, it is only about 5m from track.
Thanks for placing this cache. Loved the inside.

We parked our car today at the electrical substation as it seemed like the safest place before embarking on the power trail. OCW irondale. We found them all except number one.
What an awesome find. The cache deserves a FP which I have awarded. Irondale dropped off a TB here. TFTC

Today we took an early morning bike ride towards Lee Point, where a small trail of tradis had been waiting for us for a long time.
Some of the caches in this series were found years ago. For the remaining tradis, the travel time just didn't fit; it was always the rain season.
But this time it was right. Arriving before the actual rainy season, the past rainy days did not bother us; instead, there are now no more bush fires and plant growth has not yet started.
Only one hiding place took me longer to find. The bin was newly laid and is a bit off the original coordinates.
This one was an easily found!
So after seven finds in this jungle, I was looking forward to heading home along the coast.
Thank you Croker Crew for laying and caring!

Arriving at GZ, we made our way in through the undergrowth and searched for awhile.
When our initial search revealed nothing, we widened our circle a little more and soon found a lovely big hide, which was well hidden and beautifully decorated inside.
We add our name to the log, and a favourite point for this, and the entire series.
Thanks Croker Crew

Took a bit of getting through the foliage and vines - was it this difficult when these caches were originally placed?
Thanks Croker Crew.

Spending a few days in the area. Thanks for hiding this cache and giving us the opportunity to explore . Fav point alloc
Wow! From the old photos I was sure this cache had met a similar fate to Trinity's Treasure Chest. Delighted to find the cache in great condition. I assume it was restored at some stage?
Big thank you to all our Defence persons who keep our families safe while missing out on time with theirs. Thank you Croker Crew for placing and maintaining this series.

Almost gave up on this one. Went back to road after reading a previous comment and finally saw the not so obvious pile of rocks. You can just see the rocks from the path.
Cool find though!

Another with my boy on the trail. GPS wasn't so good here many minutes traipsing following the signal, when my son found he was standing next to it.
This is a great container. Almost as cool as CCR011 (my daughter's all time favourite), especially with all the effort that has gone into the figures and momentos. Big fan! TFTC
Yes it was obvious...eventually. Actually at first I was totally oblivious to it and wandered all over the place trying to get a decent read of co-ords and managed to obtain some rather spectacular scratches down my shins in the process. When I eventually went back to the path to 'restart' I had a total D'oh moment as I spotted the obvious.
Found with tassie expat while exploring this trail. Thanks for placing this series.
We should all give thanks every day to those who made the ultimate sacrifice for us. Thank you for bringing us to this historical area. TFTC
Having a good run today. Another great cache and good cache description and hint. TFTC
My caching run has gone well with all caches found in very good condition despite the heavy rainfall we have had in the past two months. Awarding a favourite point here because of the cache decoration but its also for the trail in general. TFTC and trail Croker Crew.

This is a cache with a beautiful description and a lot of work put into it. In fact, I have to check if I've heard that song before.
I've taken on the track this morning with a bottle of water and some mossie spray in my backpack as instructed. All the boxes I found were in reasonably good condition. Some were a bit wet.
A couple of bikers and a lady with 2 friendly dogs was all I encountered along with plenty of birds and insects. Thanks for this trail!

Decided to come out and do this walk before continuing our adventures down along the west coast. Thanks to all for placing and maintaining caches along this area.
We're continuing our wanderings across northern Australia after attending the Red Centre Experience over Easter. Today I had Pa drop me at the end of the CCRB PT as I wanted to walk it and he had other obligations to attend to.
It was a fabulous walk, meandering through the bush on a warm but not hot day, a slight breeze helping to keep the temperature down and the mossies at bay unless I stopped too long at any GZ. The bird life was great and many was the time I wished that I had carried my binoculars, though I hate to think how long it would have taken me to complete the trail if I had. Loved the finches, honeyeaters, black cockatoos and doves. A magical place.
The search for each cache was varied - some very quick, others far too long, some really frustrating while others were absolutely delightful.
To all COs involved in my adventure today, a big shout out for placing the caches. I enjoyed the variety and the effort that went into them. A couple in particular are memorable and I will award them FPs.
All the caches were found and my name added to each log either as SG, stamped or signed as usual.

Taking advantage of the cooler morning temperature we set out today to finish off this trail.
This one took a little longer to find than it should have.
A great container so a favourite point from us.

Now visiting Darwin after the Red Centre Experience.
The plan today was to head out for a full day of caching by Mr Felix on his Geo Bike.
Was a tough day with humidiity, heat and green ants, but he managed to find your cache today.
Thoroughly enjoyed this series, the hints being available certainly increased my enjoyment when I struggled.
So much work involved in this cache. Fave point.

What a great container and I loved all the extra bits stuck on - very cool considering ANZAC day is in two days. Cache found in good condition. This one gets a FP from me - thanks a lot
25/02/2017 11:06:00 AM - Today my caching mission is a visit to Darwin and this trail was my main target for today. I wasn't prepared for the humidity which made it a challenge but I enjoyed it all as I explored and managed to find this cache.
Thanks Croker Crew Cache is good condition and has spot on co-ordinates.

I set out early this morning and caught the buses to the Hospital thinking I would get a couple of the caches at the beginning of this trail but as I went along I got more and more involved and was enjoying myself so much I went all the way to the end grabbing as many caches as I could along the way The path was quite walkable with only a few places where I had to gingerly use stepping stones to get across the little fords I enjoyed all the caches on the trail and can tell the CO's that I found them all to be in good condition Please keep up the good work, you guy's are what caching is all about Thanks for all the caches Chingola from Guernsey
Was heading in the wrong direction for about 10 metres of thorns and other nasty gunk before we were about to give up.
A step back and proper survey of the land and the containers position was compromised.
Very nice cache. Left some matchie cars and other assorted things inside,\ and took a yellow m&m figure.

After we visited Lee Point we had some spare time before we had to leave for the airport. We didn't manage to walk the whole trail but we sure sweat like we walked the whole trail
Thanks for these caches.

I hadn't read through the description before finding this one and I was expecting this. Really well done - quite moving. Like all the caches in this series, nicely executed in clever but accessible locations. I thoroughly enjoyed grabbing a few of these on the last morning of my work visit to Darwin. TFTC and the series
Today we got up early to tackle this series before it got toooooo hot for us Tasmanian's. We arrived after solving the Mugglrland series and Mr "T" headed off while Mrs "T" completed a few caches on the way to the pick up point. I enjoyed this series and the variety of hides that I found along the way, all caches were in good condition making it a nice morning walk.
Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.
