Sadly this cache has been taken and we are not in the position to replace again. Thanks to all those that logged it in the past. Hopefully going loopy with Edith will remain there for some time to come as its a beautiful part of the world.

Edith Falls called...and we called on the cache but no one was home. Coordinates took me exactly to a spot that matched the Hint...but no cache...just a few small rocks that looked like they might have once covered a cache. Had a good look around but couldn't find anywhere else that seemed to match the Hint so I think the cache has been taken.

Nice quick find. Good hiding spot for it. No swimming in the lower pool today so had to hoof it up to the top one. It's still hot here, even in the wet season Razz
Left a couple of TB's.

We're on our Honeymoon and rented a campervan. From Darwin we'll head out west to Broome and then south to Perth. After we seen this beatiful place, we wished we had more time to stay here! But after a short morning swim we had to push on... T4TC and greetings from Switzerland!
 
10-Sep-14
We took a little detour on our way to Kakadu NP looking for a spot for lunch. So we got our sandwiches with lookout on the pool.
 
08-Sep-14
After returning from a nice hike and a refreshing bath we also went to find this one. On the way a kangaroo jumped unexpectedly in front of us from the cache site almost giving us a heart attack. The cache was unaffected and an easy find. TFTC

Great day to grab a cache, typical NT dry season weather, not too hot and a guarantee for a fine day. We did the Edith Falls loop trail and finished up the visit grabbing the cache. Great location TNLN TFTC.

Had a short break from driving back to Darwin at Edith Falls and had no problems finding this cache after dipping my feet into the cool water. Fantastic spot, well worth the diversion. Thanks for bringing me here bubble squeak. A fav point for the location.

This was another find in Northern Territory while crossing Northern Territory and Western Australia from Darwin to Perth on Gibb River Road through the Kimberlys. During this 8500km journey we've met many nice and friendly people [^], visited countless marvelous places, saw lots of interesting local wildlife (and plants), took some 2500 pictures home and logged some 300 Caches Cool.

Cacheator Dad followed here the cacher path while Mini and Mom got an ice cream Big Grin.

Thanks for the cache, we've enjoyed it very much [^].

We fell in love with Edith Falls on our first visit over 20 years ago. It has changed a bit since then. The island has appeared, the caravan and camping area has been rejigged for the better, there is now a manager on site and you can no longer feed the snapping turtles each night, but it is still one of our all time favourite places. We can't drive by without spending a night or two.
The cache is nicely hidden away, but easily found with good coords and hint.

What a fantastic spot. We took a bath here and also found this cache before leaving. TFTC!

Surprise, surprise our cache was gone. Popped out this morning to check after the DNF. Luckily we took a new ammo tin out filled with the usual trinkets and log book. We'll keep an eye on this one as Ammo tins definitely don't burn, someone else is now the proud owner of one ammo tin, hope it makes them very happy. Thanks for posting the note Kevin n chris much appreciated.
 
28-Jul-13
We also could not find this one during our trip from Broome to Darwin. The location is nevertheless worth a visit. As we did not have any internet connection in this beautiful but remote area, we could only log it after having returned to Switzerland. Many thanks to the owner, it was fun.
 
28-Jul-13
Clue made hiding place obvious but no sign of cache. Fire been through recently so maybe fire officers found it. TFTC even if it was a DNF. A nice spot to visit on our tour from NZ.

Found quite quick while visiting this nice place.

With our group on Adventure trip we stop at Edith Falls. It's the occasion to show to our trip companions a geocache. Excellent for one initiation.

Found as part of our 5 week trip from Adelaide to Lawn Hill and then onto the Territory.

Apologies for the late logs but Vodafone doesn't cover much of that part of the world.

We found 109 and had 10 dnfs, some more than once.

We camped at Edith Falls and after going for a swim I went off to find the cache.

Easy find.

Wasn't too keen to walk through the long grass to find this one but well worth it. Will move a few of the TBs on to follow there dreams!
 
21-Apr-13
Dropping off TB's. Edith Falls is a beautiful place to visit. Give yourself plenty of time if you want to be a bit adventurous and do the Loop Walk it is well worth the effort, don't forget your camera. pack a lunch and make a day of it you won't be sorry. There are plenty of places to swim and BBQ's are also available. Happy Caching.

Another fun find. TFTC

Lesson learnt 'Never taks a Duck out looking for a cache in the dark' by thye time we had found GZ I felt like stuffing it into the cache and leaving it. TNLN Thanks bubblensqueak
 
22-Sep-12
Neat hide, considering the amount of water came through here last wet season this hide might even survive the next wet well chosen spot. I dropped a handful of CD's off. Thanks for the great cache

This was our 1st cache in our caching run today - and we found it at around 10:13.
(So this is our 4701st total find.)

It's hot and humid here today, so a dip in the pool will be on the cards later on.
But first, an ice cream from the kiosk.

Took: Nothing
Left: Ball puzzle game thingy.
Thanks bubblensqueak for the hunt today.
 
Found this fairly quickly at another beautiful spot in the NT.Lots of muggles arund but they weren't interested in us. Cache is fine. TFTC

After a day trekking to sweetwater and around the loop, this was a welcome easy find.

Thank you for the find.
 
07-Jul-12
Our bus pulled up so I was off like a shot to find the cache. Came back and helped to prepare the meal and nobody was the wiser. Lovely spot here, one that we visited many years ago with the kids.

Excellent hide, it was almost as if that rock was purposefully built to hide a cache in. Found while the little spiderwebbs were testing the water, little chillier than the Katherine hot springs they swam in less than an hour ago. Nice stop on the way to Pine Creek tonight. Too late in the day to fit in a walk, have to save it for next time. There was a large selection of swaps, but couldn't go past the spider, left yellow squirrel. Great cache. Big Grin

What a beautiful place. Though once again, no swimming for me! I think my toes froze within minutes of touching the water - Hubby thoroughly enjoyed it though! TFTC
 
31-May-12
Appreciated a dip in the pool before grabbing this on way back to campsite. Very nice area. Tftc
 
26-May-12
The floods sure took a toll on the falls and surrounding facilities. A nice simple grab which yielded a couple of trackables which I will move on. Nice hide TFTC bubblensqueak. [1255]

Camped here the night and then grabbed this cache early this morning. Left a couple of TB'S that we brought over from Tassie. Thanks, a great spot, just a pity the plunge pool isn't open for swimming yet.

Found with geo child. Lucky this one was high enough up that it didn't get washed away. It is amazing the damage the water has done here, I can see it is going to take sometime before this place is back to normal if ever. Will post a couple of pic's. TFTC T2(TB's) L2 (1TB)
