The Big Western Australia trip in 2018. Day 13. The road again continued West to Timber Creek and then Kununarra, plenty of roadside stops in the hyper long grass along the way.

I did stop for a rest at the roadhouse and managed to locate this one while I was there.

Thanks.

We, that is Zauberkeks and Cacheaffairs, enjoyed a 4 week trip from Darwin to Perth and would like to express our thanks to all owners of the caches for the learning experience and the awesome views and places they showed us!

The Victoria Roadhouse (under new management, uh, wife Smile ) was one of these great locations! We took a stroll across the bridge after we set up our rooftent and enjoyed the views from the bridge and all the wrens and swallows over and under the bridge!

Greetings from Germany,

Hi there Lumpyjrb - today is a driving day from Katherine to Timber Creek. The trip was pleasant for the most part but the temperature rose after lunch and even with air conditioning inside the car it was a little bit uncomfortable. This cache and log are in good condition - SL. This is our find #5044 - thanks to Lumpyjrb for this cache.

On our way home from our NT/WA adventure. Stopped in at the roadhouse for a rest break & while the rest of the family ate their ice blocks I went off in search of a cache. The phone GPS couldn't make up it's mind where it wanted to send me, should have just followed my geosense from the start!

Today we continue to wander around northern Australia from one side to the other after attending the Red Centre Experience over Easter. And what a thrill it is to see Team Crackers name in the caches before us. The display he provided for us all at the Easter event was amazing! Thanks Crackers.
We are camped not far from this cache so I wandered off for a quick find, added my name to the log and returned it to its hidey hole, before continuing on to find the next cache. Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for us to find. TNLTb Stamped log.

After having a very pleasant day's caching in Katherine it was time to head west and pick up some caches between here and Timber Creek.

We parked and walked across the bridge from The Croc. The turtle and the fish. Looking around the area we agree that it is quite spectacular and if we had had a bit more time or it was later in the day we might have even tried out the caravan park but unfortunately we were on a deadline to catch up with friends in Kununarra so we simply located the cache and added our names to the log and headed back across the bridge watching to see what we could spy this time.

Thanks once more Lumpyjrb for the cache.

Travelling through on a road trip with troobloo, we had stayed in the close vicinity the night before and we noticed this cache nearby so we decided to go grab it before hitting the road for the day.
We found the cache and did our caching duties then we decided to head towards the bridge for some photos of the river and we got some beauties.
Thanks for the fun Lumpyjrb

Day 22 on my trip from Perth to the Red Centre Experience in Alice Springs with m4yb and Max the GeoUte pulling Jonathan Swift the Jaycp camper trailer.

Still no sightings but I did grab a TB. Will move it on and log later.

Thanks for the smiley and hide Lumpyjrb

Singapore - Perth - Rottnest Island - Penguin Island - Geraldton - Kalbarri - Denham - Carnarvon - Coral Bay - Exmouth - Port Hedland - Broome - Darwin and all Nationalparks on our way

Our trip with Stopover in Singapore and through Western Australia to the Northern Territory with the Campervan from Perth to Darwin led us to many beautiful caches. Sometimes the temperatures were very high for us Europeans, but we have always managed the walk well and are looking forward to standing so many miles from home in the logbook. Australia is a very fantastic country, with lots of sights and especially so many animals, from the kangaroo over dugongs, dolphins, emu's and even the blue whale and the whale shark we have seen a lot. We would like to thank all the owners for the layout of the caches, their care and the showing of mostly special places.

We send many greetings and a G 'Day from Leipzig in Germany from the 2 Supermuggels

04-Aug-16
We stopped here for a final find for the day, then decided to stay the night. Counter meals on offer that can't be refused. No doubt we'll discover tomorrow if the birds are still in residence, though having suffered early wakeup calls in places like Birdsville & Mataranka (back in the bat days) they can't be any worse can they? TFTC Lumpyjrb.

tftc,

Today is day 22 of an adventure that will take me around Australia with a group of trackables. My caches visited can be tracked by checking out the Key Ring using the code TB4P4C1.

Back on the bitumen after 3 days of dirt. Another 3 days and we will have over a week of it again. We will enjoy this bit of highway driving. It's the places people take you to with their cache placements that inspires you to explore our great Country.

Running late, left a few caches for another time but grabbed this one.

As a part of my contribution to helping make the "Easter 2017 Red Centre Experience" GC6825Z a great Event, I will be leaving a card in every cache that is large enough to take it. This card provides a number for a trackable so you can "Discover me". There is also the Web page address "red.ozmega.com.au".
Happy caching.

Hi there Lumpyjrb.

We found your cache **"The Queen’s River"** at 12:15:00 PM today. This cache makes our find count 14260.

This cache was found on our journey from Darwin to Broome. We weren't able to look for some as the rest stops were packed with caravans, and our search would have been noticed. We were able to look for this one though. Smile

**Coordinate Accuracy:** We found this cache around two metres from where the GPS said we should be looking. Wink
**Cache Condition:** The container and log book are in good shape.

**Took:** Nothing.
**Left:** Smiley Badge.

Thanks for the hunt today,

Regards

Ian & Penny.

Our current visit to Australia had been in the planning for over a year with the very significant help and advice from friends who live in Melbourne. The original plan was for a 2 month visit, but as things progressed we just couldn't help extending our trip to the full 90 days allowed on our visas - after all it's a big country and so much to see and do, especially with our favourite pastimes being birding, hiking and of course geocaching! Our journey started with our arrival at Perth airport followed by a day cycling around Rottnest Island before travelling on to Adelaide where we met up with our friends. We then continued on to spend some time on Kangaroo Island, before heading to Melbourne via Goolwa, Strathalbyn, Coorong, Mount Gambier, Cape Bridgewater, the Grampians National Park, Port Campbell, Cape Otway and Lorne, cramming in as much as possible on route. The second leg of our journey was a fabulous 9 days in Tasmania. Having then returned to Melbourne we set off on the third leg of our journey, which was to Sydney via Wilson’s Promontory, Lakes Entrance, Mallacoota, Pambula Beach, Thredbo, Canberra and Fitzroy Falls. We then spent a few days in Sydney with geocaching friends efore flying on to the Gold Coast for the fourth leg of our travels, that included visits to Lamington National Park, Noosa and an overnight trip out to Fraser Island. We then flew from Brisbane to Cairns, where we spent a couple of nights before heading out to the birding hotspots of Yungaburra and Daintree. Following on from a visit to Cape Tribulation we turned to Port Douglas. After a day out on the Great Barrier Reef we returned to Cairns for the flight to Alice Springs and the fifth leg of our travels, which was a wonderful week driving the circuit to and from Ayers Rock in our 4x4 camper. On returning to Alice Springs we then flew on to Darwin, where we picked up another 4x4 camper. We are currently making our way towards Broome via Kakadu, Cooinda, Katherine Gorge, Kununarra, Lake Argyle, Emma Gorge, the Bungle Bungle’s and Fitzroy Crossing. Our last two nights in Australia will be spent in Broome before we fly back to Perth, from where we will connect with the flight all the way back home to Zimbabwe via South Africa. We already know we can't wait to return!

This was a nice quick find at Ground Zero. Thanks so much for the cache.
