disabling this, its obviously been muggled. Will fix up when returning from the USA late november. Cheers
We looked high and low and were unable to find. Please let us have another hint? My GPS brought us to the outside of Traeger Park, hope that was correct. Set off the spot satellite tracker and showed that we were in the right place too.
Tks,

Before we go to the Airport, I have a nice morning walk around Alice Springs and found this cache.
Nice on.

Found with tackle_head on the third day of a quick weeks trek from Alice to Uluru. My Thanks to redcenterdazza for another of your caches, and for the history lesson.
We are here on vacation from the Ohio and we decided to go out for a walk. We wanted to find a few caches while we are here and this was on our list. TNLNSL.
Just want to post a note saying that there is a travel bug tag stuck to the side of this cache. I checked the web site and it says none listed in this cache.

Found at 11.30am GAFF1. The co-ords took us to a possible structure where a nano would normally be hidden, but after searching the usual spots we had to go over to another structure to find the cache. Another fascinating story of how ingenious people were in the pioneering days.
Thanks redcenterdazza.
Thanks redcenterdazza.
As we spent a day in Alice before our tour started, we did a few caches. This one we found after some searching. I was looking at the right spot, but not good enough. Finally we found it. Thanks for hiding.

Given the comment about the area not being safe at night, we searched for this cache in the late afternoon. Very few muggles were around and the cache was very quickly in hand. TFTC redcentredazza
Quick find with Coruze whilst taking a break on road trip.

Nice quick find. The area was pretty quiet today not so many muggles around today. Found with Troobloo SL TNLN T4TC
don't worry about wandering around - I felt less safe back home in St Kilda that night
Today we, that means Schneewittchen264 and me, arrived at Alice Springs for participating in a tour through the Red Centre. On our way into the city we found this cache. TFTC, marcb109
Grabbed this one today - am staying nearby and walk/ride past this place daily to my research office. I didnt realise there was a cache there until just recently, so went on a short walk to pick it up. It would be much too busy on my normal travels! Thanks for the find redcenterdazza!
A nice cache and an easy find.
About time a few more memorable people who should be noted with a cache.
Thanks for the effort in establishing the cache.

I am pretty sure I remember the Traeger business from earlier days in Adelaide but at that time did not know the significance of his contribution. TFTC.
I had to time my hunting, retrieval and return of this cache because there were quite a few muggles wandering by. It was duly accomplished and it was good to learn a little more about the history of the area. Thanks redcentredazza.
Easy find while on our central Australia holiday, logging on is a bit late due to my poor internet connection
Found at 5.40pm after a busy day of sightseeing called by this quick one to fill a must cache day. TFTC
Found while visiting the area on the way to Darwin. Nice quick find. TNLN. Thanks redcenterdazza. Silky Seekers Brisbane.
Just arrived to Alice today from a far away flight from Germany. Still got some jetlag but managed to take a walk down the appartment and find this one nearby.
Thanks for showing around and hope to manage to see more of Alice the next couple of days here.

Inititally the iPhone led me to the wrong pole, and I had stupidly left the main GPS at home as I was recharging the batteries. But that was OK and it was still a quick find this afternoon. I used to play a lot with HF radio, and have also read books about Traeger, and the early days of the RFDS. I doubt this overnight trip from Sydney will allow enough time to visit the RFDS centre, though it is a charity I have been supporting through their Adelaide and Port Augusta base. Thanks redcenterdazza.
I love to play on my HF radio and tune in to 2020. I've never pushed the emergency button. I also love to pedal. Traeger is my hero
Clear skies and good ionospheres. Thanks to redcenterdazza for the [orange]Bronze opportunity[/orange]A good little ride in to find this one , I thought I'd be the first to find but some beat me to it.
FTF Yeah !!! & its also my 1st FTF. Found at 14.30 whilst on holiday from Melbourne. SL TFTC
