TFTC Day 113 of trip 24From Melb, up to Alice then across the Madigan line and out to betoota. Down to Cameron corner then back to the coast across the Nullarbor. Up WA to steep point and onwards to Derby to cross the gibb. Out via the bungle bungles and then longreach before heading up to this point. I now sadly point my nose south and start driving the long driveway back towards home.

After searching for a little while we eventually found it.Nicely Hidden

A little bit of a search, but got it in the end! What a spot! Thanks for the hide
 
01-Sep-24
We made it to the Northern Peninsula Area from Melbourne after corrugations, corrugations and more corrugations, stopping at a variety of different spots along the way and picking up random caches as we went. Today, after 5750 kms and 6 weeks we finally made it to the tip. There was only one more thing to do to complete the visit and that was to locate the cache. Despite an extensive search without luck we were just about to call it a day and head back as it was getting quite hot when we had one last sweep of the area and Mrs Pooky finally made the find. It took far longer than it should have. TF placing this cache for us to find on our travels.

That's a hell of a drive to find this one.

What a cache! And what a view too! Cache should definitely NOT be a D4.5, but hey, Im not complaining we filled in another spot on our grid! Up at the tip for a family members 70th, and now, for them, all of the cardinal points of Australia! TFTC DIMEBAG DOZER, and a great location for a great cache
 
18-Aug-24
We have managed to get up to the tip earlier than anyone else.People are still yawning even after the brisk walk down the beach.Buttons and I jump the queue (there are nine of us) so I can head up the hill to start the search.She has just started her way up when I yell out, found it.A few more steps and I yell at her to bring up a pen from the camel back.Then I have to yell out take her time, it was only a beer can.Time starts to slip away and the others are starting to head back along the top, Im getting a little worried.Turns out a section I had searched earlier (a little too fast) turns up the cache when I slow down and take more time.A good little cache and I grab a trackable to take back down south with us.TFTC Venimus, Invenimus, Signati

After three and a half thousand kilometres it all ended with us waiting in a queue behind some tour groups for our obligatory pic at the sign.There was some amazing scenery on the way and some great camp-sites. The tip is spectacular and the rock cairns are pretty impressive. We walked to the tip along the beach and returned by the path heading over the mountain.We found the cache without any troubles. Great to mark this one of our list!Thanks foe the cache!

A caching trip from Canberra, ACT to Cape York, Qld and then around the gulf to East Arnhem Land, NT.TFTC.A great windy hike to this amazing place on the tip of the mainland.
 
26-May-24
Wow, what a trip! Cape York, Cairns to the tip!!! It's been a great fascination and long term goal of mine to visit Cape York but driving it, and seeing as much as I can, was just amazing and a trip of a lifetime.A great trip out here today. Plenty of water crossings and mud given the occasion light rains but quite warm still. Coming early was great as we had it to our selves, just the tour bus we keep bumping into (joybell53 onboard) and a few cars. Such a great location to have now visited.
 
23-Oct-23
Thanks! Found it woo hoo
 
13-Oct-23
Found while on our adventure across 3 states; WA, NT & Qld, for several months. We spent a few nights on the Old Telegraph Track, meeting some great people from Vic, Tas & SA on it, joining their convoy to the tip. We finally made the tip Friday the 13th. It was perfect weather, with 33 degrees. Thank you for brining us to this location. We couldn't come here all the way from the South West of WA & not find a cache!!
 
02-Oct-23
Travelling to the tip of Australia with The Drovers, Geoturtle37 & Paqpi4506 was the aim of this trip stopping at geocaches and historic sites.We drove as far as we could and parked the cars and headed off on foot for the last 600 meters or so. Last time we were has was 36 years ago and for some reason we don't remember it being quite as hilly as it was this time and it was a lot further walk then as the now closed down resort had this end blocked off to non paying customers.We are very happy to say that we made it again.The cache itself was located right where the GPSr indicated and after a quick find we added our names to the log before returning it as it was.Many thanks, this will be our most northerly cache find unless we win tattslotto, a favourite point from us.
 
02-Oct-23
Visiting Cape York area, with Team Crackers, Geoturtle37 and Papi4506.We stopped along the way to pick up a few caches and signed the log as PDGC.(Papi Drovers Geoturtle Crackers).A quick find, signed and replaced. Picked up the trackable to move along.Our thanks to all the CO's, for making this trip more enjoyable.

Tftc, on a bus trip sauntered up the rocks yesterday. Great spot.
 
30-Sep-23
TICK. This is a bucket list item ticked off. I hadn't realised just how much I had wanted to to make it this far north until I actually arrived. It is awesome to have been accompanied by such great friends. The trip has been so much fun in the company of Team Crackers, The Drovers and Papi4506. Having had some car issues on the way, I wasn't sure we were going to make it but make it we did. Thank you for placing this cache here so that we can sign the log and prove that we made it.
 
30-Sep-23
Well here we all are, we have made it at last. Can't tell you what a relief it is to be able to say that. It is really beautiful up here and along with Team Crackers, The Drovers and Geoturtle37, we are here. Thank you for placing this cache and providing somewhere to leave out mark that we have made it.

28-Aug-23
About a year ago, Swellerfungus invited me to join a trip to Cape York that he was organising. I have been to the Cape by boat in the late 80's, but I thought it would be interesting to return by air and land.

I am committed to crewing on a racing yacht, and missed the north bound trip over land up the PDR and OTT as I was racing at Hamilton Island Race Week. This morning I jumped a flight from Cairns to Bamaga for my air leg to the Cape.

The team attended to some vehicle repairs at our camp at Seisia and then we headed for the tip, via the Croc Tent, Punsand Bay and the Roma Flats track.

We timed our arrival at Pajinka for a caching event that I had planned right at the high tide mark at the tip. I can now claim Australia's most northern mainland event!

In our excitement to get to the top, we had walked past this traditional on the way north, but made sure to stop on the return journey south. Everything was found in good order. Can now tick another corner of the country off.

Find number 12287 at 4:23:33 pm on Saturday the 5 August 2023
Departed Melbourne a couple of weeks ago and travelling north for the winter, well, for the northern warmth actually (hopefully Smile), passing through as many small towns as I can grabbing the odd cache here and there as I travel.
Finally made the northern warmth and the Cape and I'm loving it Smile
A long hard days 4x4'ing and finally made it here. Travelled via the mouth of Laradinya Creek, Roogna Point and Roma Flats track.
What a magnificent location with increadable views and a bucketlist item finally ticked off!
A quick find with all in good nick and thank fully there was a pencil in the container (phew).
**Thanks for placing this cache Dimebag DOZER**

WoW - this is another awesome LGA

An Awesome little find here, like a treasure trove of interesting places, a beaut little Community in FNQ.
The Geological most northern point on the Australian Mainland.

We are on a Bucket List Trek, from Busselton, in the South West corner of Australia, up to Cape York, Australia's most Northern land point.

We Finally Made It

We are travelling through several iconic tracks, through the Gawler Ranges, the Oodnadatta Track, the Birdsville Track, the Bloomfield Track and the PDR Track to Cape York.
As we meander across this awesome country, we stopped here to enjoy the scenery, check out the history and wonder what life was like here all those years ago.
Thanks to the CO's for adding to our journey as we head to Cape York.
Thanks

Listen to the lyrics and this year it is so important to think of your friends that have divided you because of Covid-19.

Originally the song by Paul Kelly was a message from a guy in prison and he was worried that who would make the gravy.
