A quick 5 day trip to Darwin included finding this cache. This is my first trip to the northern territory and is my final state / territory in Australia to visit. The weather was certainly different to Tasmania. It is great to explore another part of Australia. Thank you corunnaroad for hiding and maintaining this cache. Found on 6 October 2024 at 12:13PM. Thanks for the cache

Found: 14.48One of us stayed near our bikes, looking at some logs, because the other one, had not yet been able to find the cache. Then a man passed and he asked whether we were geocachers. Yes! He did it once in a while, but he found it too hot for caching today. But fortunately, he changed his mind and helped searching for the cache. And he (AdamLang7) was the one who actually found it. He handed two TBs to us (that did not fit in the cache).

Last day in Darwin and I was up early chasing down a few labs about the place plus whatever trads took my fancy. Decided to start out at the East Point Reserve as it looked to have some interesting history and such.Had a go at this one on the way out. Checked a couple of spots before uncovering the cleverly hidden container. Didn't see any pubs at this locale though.corunnaroad I found your cache at 7:41am, this was the 9th of 23 finds for me today and brings my total find count to 8436. The cache was in good order and I replaced it as found.SLTFTC

Day 62 of our greynomad trip up north and after a the JLWEvents, a tour of Maralinga and caching to claim LGAs in the Eyre Peninsula, we finally escaped the southern weather that has been wet and windy. Not sure that we are acclimatised to the northern heat yet as we are feeling it by early afternoon, but out sightseeing and caching in the morning.

Was necessary to have a week back home in Nth Vic before arriving back in Darwin yesterday. Out and about earlier today as we need to get used to the temperature again. A quick find as cars passed by, oblivious to us.

After an amazing few weeks exploring the NT and parts of WA, it’s time to head home, but we have a few days in Darwin beforehand, and of course we have to cache around in that time! We’ve had a great time this trip finding some amazing caches, and Darwin was no different!

Quick find TNLN SL all in good condition.

Tftf… didn’t have a pencil though. Watch out for the midgies!!!
 
A nice little quick cache as we were out this way.

This trip was sort of in place of a trip to a Mega that got canceled due to accommodation problems, I was quite happy when Goose said do you fancy to caching break in the Northern Territory as this would be the last State or Territory for me in Australia.

Our plan was to fly into Darwin on the Friday night have a couple days in the area then start heading South stopping overnight whenever we needed to, our next goal was the drive to the geographic centre of Australia at Lambert Centre and then head back to Alice to fly home ten days later.

We both had a great trip finding some important old caches, large ones and the odd clever one too, we found Ammo Cans all over the place which was nice as i think we have found most of the ones at home in Tassie.

Thanks for the cache.

A quick find as we watched the jets perform for NT day.
Thanks corunnaroad

Our Northern Territory journey began in Darwin around 3am after a very delayed flight. We drove as far north as Fresh Water Camp (northeast of Darwin), followed by a loop to Liberated Cox (out to the west) and Litchfield National Park returning to Darwin. We then headed south with overnight stops at Katherine, Daly Waters and Devils Marbles before reaching our southernmost accommodation at Erldunda. From here we did a day trip to Lamberts Gravitational Centre on onward past Finke. Our last couple of days were in Alice Springs with a side trip via Hermannsburg and Glen Helen, all up covering just under 3800km. My thanks to all the COs with hides throughout the territory for helping make our trip so enjoyable.

Fannie Bay is so pretty, we would love a house here but we assume this is the rich end of town. We came out to look at the war museum and grab a cache or two on the way back. The museum was really interesting, we had quite the education about Darwin and the bombings, we had no idea it even happened more than once, school education needs to push Australian history much more!
Mrs Kookacrews uncle and auntie moved to Darwin with their girls not long after cyclone Tracey to help with the rebuilding, they loved it so much they stayed in the NT for years, a couple of the girls still live out in the sticks.
Thanks corunnaroad for the cache. TNLN
