Alice trip 2017. Day 16. Another day of driving, today took Sol de Lune, Luckyl10n, Fitzy_1965 and I from Mataranka to Adelaide River. Long distances with fewer caches until we arrived at Katherine. Great country along the way.
Thanks.

Thanks.

After leaving Alice Springs we headed north and tried a few caches, but alas no luck for us here.
Thanks anyway....

We used this cache to find the gates into Cutta Cutta NP and our tour of the Caves. Sorry to not find this one. Thanks anyway. I hope someone can do some maintenance soon.
We used this cache to find the entrance to the Cutta Cutta Caves turnoff and were sorry we couldn't find the cache here. I hope it can get some maintenance soon. Thanks anyway
Looking at all the DNF,s we only spent about 10 mins and decided to abort as all the likely spots were searched.
This hasn't been found since 04/Sep/2015, so needs checking. Unfortunately the CO has not been on this site since 13 November 2015, so I don't know if this will happen.
On our 6th visit in Australia we search, and found, some Caches.
This was one of them

Today we explored Katherine and surrounds using geocaching as a guide. A very sneaky, clever and well design hide, well done!!!! Adding to our favourites.
Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.

It was the last day of our holiday in Katherine...and we decided to finish with a visit to Cutta Cutta Caves. We had a little time to spare before the next cave tour so we stopped at the gate to hunt for this cache. It took a little while to find it...mostly because it is a very clever camouflage.
Thanks bluejasper for this cache.

Unfortunately 2 weeks go so fast and after having driven down from darwin to alice springs and uluru we have to make our way back to darwin for our flight back to cairns but not without finding a few more caches

After putting my hand on this one I did not think it was it so I took off in another direction to search ,when Geo wife sang out I have got it. turned around to see that I was so close .Clever hide I like these .T.F.T.C
We couldn't see the cave but we found this cache. If you look carefully it's not so difficult to spot something out of place so for the next geocachers, don't give up after 5 minuts because the cache is there ready to be found. Thanks to bluejasper for this one

Found after checking several other options. A nice hidden cache. Giving it a fav point for being tricky. TFTC.
1:23:00 PM. Wasn't sure about this one after reading previous logs. After a search and nearly ready to give up I saw something out of place. Yes that was the cache. The log was wet and came out as mush so replaced with a piece of paper for now. Signed and returned. Worth a favourite point from us for the effort. Thanks bluejasper for placing this cache.
Went on the search with friend, after some serious head scratching we finally found it. Tricky hind
Tried to grab this one just before the cave tour. Unfortunately, no luck here today.
We started looking in the wrong place initially, but after a few minutes Mr Ski took a slightly wider view and quickly uncovered this one.

This one took us a little while to find. In the end Mrs Helville came up with the goods. Good Hide. TFTC.
Finally found this one. Tried a couple of times. Had to look at all the recent logs to get the vital clue we needed to find it!!! Thanks for the cache and thanks to the clue.
The park wasn't open yet at the time of morning I called past.
That just means I'll have to come though this way again ;0

TFTC,
What a great hide. Well nana nel found it while I was on my hands and knees looking at all the insects in the holes in the rocks.
After more than 4 weeks, we are now in Katherine and have our first internet connection for a few days.
It is time to log what we have found and get ready for the next stage of our 7 week Outback adventure that has included following the Riley's Through the Red Centre.
Very clever, a favourite from me.
Visited a group of trackables sharing the experience.

A great hide, I was ready to leave and 2 visits to look, then there was something not quite right , but very cleaver. TFTC
Heading towards Katherine, on our 2nd trip around Australia.
What more can we say other than - sneaky. Well done.
Took us while, but we found it.
Thanks for the cache, bluejasper.

Found whilst on my best day of caching EVER! Thanks to Corunnaroad for the intel. Must tell my husband who is a Park Ranger in Central Australia about this kind of hide. What a beauty!
So happy to finally tick this one off the list and it was even more fun searching this time round because we met fellow cachers there! Very clever hide blue jasper as it certainly is in clear view and I'm embarrassed to say how many times we've been here and missed it!!! Well worth a favourite point T4TC
Another day of caching in the Katherine region we have decided to head south of the town.
Pulled into GZ to see the teams of Corunnaround & DoodleBug from Darwin in the middle of their hunt, after a chat we returned to the task in hand & it was Corunnaround who laid her hands on the cache, we all celebrated the find & then went our separate ways.
Thanks bluejasper

I had failed miserably once before at finding this cache
Today I was back, optimistic that I would have more luck
The GPS was pretty specific about where the cache should be.
The clue didn't help a bit though .... in hindsight it should have !!
So another half hour of the day passed quite pleasantly as I poked, prodded and peered at every detail of the scenery.
Nothing !!
A hex on this cache !!
The next thing I prodded turned out to be the cache
And the hex was lifted [^]
TFTC, it is a good 'un

This was our 16th cache find in the caching run & we found it at 13:41
So this now makes our total find count 6892.

Another wonderful day in Katherine. The cache raid today was a random start point followed by a string of caches selected, in most cases, by the "next closest" method.
We had a couple of attempts at this one. Once on the way in, that was interrupted by a muggle caravanner that wouldn't move on, and finally as we were on our way out.
It took a while, but we finally got it. The ingenuity deserves a favorite point from us.
[/blue]
Coordinate Accuracy: Excellent (Around 2 metres).
Cache Condition: Container and log book are in good shape.
Took: Nothing.
Left: Smiley Badge.

Hey !! What the heck
This cache needed a DNF posting
I couldn't find the damn thing after 20 minutes of looking at the compacted Middle Cambrian calcium caronate in the midday sun [xx(]

Found cache - eventually - but it was so waterlogged. I couldn't write on it... so took a photo. Sorry, bluejasper, I didn't have any replacement paper with me. Perhaps the next seeker could take along a replacement log, about 3 cm's wide?
great hide, though! TFTC

Many thanks from Peter for this cache on the 13. Australia Trip (2012/2013).

After visiting the cave we searched for the cache. But we couldn't find it. ??
While Vasco wandered around banging, lifting, probing and rattling, Duck stuck with her strong direction finding instincts and the beak won out again. TFTC
Well here I sit behind the servo at Elliot, the airconditioner is humming away and it's 40 something in the shade, It's been quite a day two tyres decided to shed a layer of rubber (dual wheels on the motorhome) and only one spare so it was 20km for the past 5 hours. Expecting tyres to arrive on the midnight northbound bus at 50% over their normal price, a bargain by local standards, was offered a tyre with only a match head of tread left on it from the local NRMA man for $175 but declined his generous offer (market demand certainly rules around here) Back to your cache, by the look of the creativity and bush craftsmanship that has been put into it, you are a cacher of my own heart, it would seem that bluejasper would be just the sort of guy to have around if one ever needed a tracheotomy. Nice work TFTC only left DNA sample behind
Failed with this one last time, armed with hints from recent logs found it

Afternoon cache run that had us with this one in hand in good time. Excellent hide by bluejasper TFTC.
Looked for this on July 17 along with a few other cachers.
We looked in the obvious places and were surprised we could not find it. This was our first DNF since we started our trip .
I hope someone else DOES find it after July 17 and that it is not missing.

Back in town for a few weeks so I decided to grab the few remaining caches I hadn't logged. Arrived at gz and was all alone so it was a quick find. Container and contents are all in good condition. Nice hide TFTC bluejasper. [1246]
We looked in the places that we believed fitted the cache. We extended our search and soon saw the well hidden container. SL TFTC
What a great hide I looked for this one on the way but couldnt find it so after going to caves decided to give it another go. When I finally found it GPS and Iphone had me 7 mtrs from GZ it was no wonder I didnt find it to start but after awhile I got desperate and left no stone unturned till I finally found this little beauty. TFTC and a favorite from me
On our way to Katherine...we didn't know that there is a parking space for a caravan but we managed to park on the highway near the driveway...walked to the GZ, searched a while before Mr Bushies2 spotted a clever hide...you get a favourite point from us Thanks bluejasper for the cache.
We were lucky to have been able to find this one (and get silver as well) as we didn't have it in our GSAK database of pocket queries of caches for our trip up here. Luckily we had changed our location to the NT and so saw it on the GCA daily notification of caches.
Mrs TiedyeSmileys eagle eyes spotted it fairly quickly.
