Found with The X-Trailers in terrain I hate. Should be a rant for rocks like nano's in SA. Some of this series took longer to locate than others. Fun time all the same

Found at 10:54:00 AM(t) GAFF3.
The biggest issue with this cache was trying to find an area where we could turn the caravan around Thank goodness there has been some burn-off and the grass has mostly gone so we can see if there are any hidden rocks or logs to impeded our foray into the bush to turn around!
Thanks Lumpyjrb.

The journey continues with ilook4geo. We decided to have a go at this series and actually managed to find each one and sign the log. We did do some rock scrambling but success gives encouragement for the next one. Thank you to Lumpyjrb for putting out this series of caches.

Doing some more caching today with goingplaces2 and found this cache. Log was signed and all was replaced as found. Job done! TFTC.

After attending the mega in Townsville we are now heading for Darwin. First a couple of nights in Katherine at the Riverview cp. This was one of the caches we targeted and found. Thanks for arranging the hide.

Our last day in Katherine, and headed north to grab the caches that we could not get with the caravan on.

Left new dry log in place

This cache was found quickly but the log is sodden and unable to be signed. Another photo was taken as proof of find.

On our way to Darwin from Perth. Such a spectacular road trip! And nice to get some caches along the way! TFTC

We continue our journey to Katherine Park a little earlier than expected since our 2WD campervan is not allowed to go on sniff tracks !!! We will make a few stops at the sight of green dots .... the road will seem much shorter . Thanks to all the installers for the work done. Hello from France.

Nous poursuivons notre route vers le parc Katherine un peu plus tôt que prévu puisque notre camping car en 2WD n'a pas le droit d'aller sur les pistes sniff !!! Nous ferons donc quelques arrêts à la vue de points verts .... la route va nous sembler bien moins longue .
Merci a tous les poseurs pour le travail réalisé. 
Bonjour de la France.

Found it TFTC

Thanks for this off road series, which was quite relaxing. TFTC

Another quick find a bit scorched but ok . Thank you for this serries Cheryl and Chris from Tassie

Short search here unearthed the replacement cache. As one of us was wandering around the base of the rocks, we found the original cache on the ground. It has been slightly damaged and it looks as though an animal may have had a good nibble at the lid. The cache was rather wet inside but the log was still intact, although the plastic bag had been melted on to it due to recent fires. We removed plastic, and replaced with a new bag. Have also placed the cache container in a ziplock bag to keep it dry and placed it with the other cache. TFTC and for a great little series.

Found during our honeymoon trip. Almost 1 month driving through Australian country.
It was an amazing trip.
Thanks for this cache

Grazie Lumpyjrb

Had a good search here and couldn't find the cache, and given the previous DNF and gap where others had completed the series without this one I declared it missing in action and left a replacement in what I think is the appropriate spot. Thanks for the series Lumpyjrb.

Searched the area, but sadly a DNF for us here today. [8)] Hopefully we were just cache blind again.

Thanks anyway Lumpyjrb

I stay at Katherine for a week ... tmw will leave for Darwin TFTC

Wir sind zum ersten Mal in Australien unterwegs und sammeln gern mal die eine oder andere Dose, wie auch diese hier. Danke sagen wir allen Ownern für das Herführen und Pflegen.

Wie schon in anderen Ländern lassen wir uns durch Geocaching gerne an schöne Orte führenund danken den Owners für's Hegen und PflegenTFTC!

Storm brewing. A nice wind down after work activity. TFTC!

Another quick find, and again cache and log good. I enjoyed this series, so I'm giving a favourite here for the series. TFTC Lumpyjrb.

Thanks easy find

Found it Quick finds before brekky thanks for the caches

Fernweh* and nick

TFTC nice quick find!

Today we explored Edith Falls and surrounds using geocaching as a guide.

Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.

2 week holiday in the nt cross caching trip with geoparents who have come from germany for a visit.
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. ☺tftc sl

Cleverly hidden, our first for this series. TFTC

Last one of the series. TFTC.

On our way from Perth to Darwin we saw many great things and places - many of them thanks to geocaching! We thank the owners for sharing their favorite spots with us by hiding their caches!

The last find along here and we must admit, a little bit glad. We have had some bad experiences searching fruitlessly for ages for caches in rocks.

TFTC

Took the geo pup out for a cache maintenance run. All is well with the cache. Happy hunting!

Easy find up high. Bit if scrambling again.

Last one of the trail for us...we really enjoyed it! Tftc!;)

Found, while heading towards Katherine, we unhooked the caravan and took the side road.
As we both love Rock 'n' Roll music, we were looking forward to completing this series.
For the 7 caches, it made us use all the geo-skills we have.
A good variety of containers, with some very imaginative hides.
Thanks for the series, Lumpyjrb.

Found today with DiMorgan who were kind enough to take me caching. Thanks Lumpyjrb for this series

A great series and am happy to have completed it. Thanks for the series Lumpyjrb

Happy to complete the series .... thanks Lumpyjrb 4the cache and series

This was our 3rd cache find in the caching run & we found it at 12:47
So this now makes our total find count 6899.

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.

If this was the Stuart Highway, it's much narrower than we thought it would be.

After finding over 6899 caches, it is really sad to note that the trend of placing small caches without swaps is increasing, especially in a spots such as this - where a larger container could have been placed. Doesn't anyone want to place large, kid friendly caches any more. [?]

Coordinate Accuracy: Excellent (Around 2 metres).
Cache Condition: Container and log book are in good shape.
Took: Nothing.
Left: Nothing.
Thanks Lumpyjrb for the hunt today.

On a Trip to the top end for the V8 Race weekend 14 days of driving and racing
ah the dance is over and so are the rocks

After 5 days in Darwin for the V8's and a little sightseeing it was time to head south back to the cold. Of course we grabbed caches on the way. Spent today in the Katherine area before staying the night at the Mataranka Thermal Pool.

Quick find and sign for this one. TFTC.

We were very pleased to see 7 caches along the old Stuart Highway...couldn't imagine how difficult for the drivers to drive along this narrow road! Nice and easy find by Mr Bushies2. Thanks Lumpyjrb for the series.

Quick find on the way to Darwin to a cousins Wedding why not do some caching on the way. seem to be claimed thrid to find again as one group claimed FTF joint nad another cacher second

Yes, just like us to find the first one last! Great series and a fun afternoon. SL TFTC.

Nice cache - Landlockedsailors claimed a FTF here, only a few minutes prior to our arrival. But it seems there's a different time zone where they are from - the date in the log is 23-3 You're a month behind in your travels, Mrs and Mr Landlocksailors

Saw this group of seven pop up, so parked the rig in Katherine and went back north. Decided to start from No 1, which was just as well, since it gave us a string of 5 out of seven FTF's. YEAH!

S0... an FTF. Great

That part of the road has certainly changed since we first drove along it in 1976!

Thanks for the series, Lumpyjrb

Nice hides - all different and all interesting.
