Found together with spockfan during a long drive from Uluru to Coober Pedy. Thanks for hiding .

Ooh, Oodnadatta track! So tempting but not today we said when here. After a loo break and an icecream (35c today) a nice cache here to add to the day. (Edit, on returning from up North, we did take the track!)Last night we drove till we needed to stop, just 2 hours south of Cooper Pedy to a road side rest stop. An amusing morning with fellow campers Bob, and his fun talkative cockatoo Laury. What characters! Character, quirky and amusing was the theme of the day, all in a good way of course. Arriving in Cooper Pedy, it was the best kind of crazy and such a great place. Van parked it was of to explore town, inside and out, dugouts, mines and the sites, caches, adventure labes, even a FTF. Super blue sunny skies, temperates delightfully warm in the 30's. Fueled up we headed north, via Marla to Mintabie for my last SA county cache. SA completed! Back into Marla for dinner, it was a discussion of what next. Back to cooby?... let's do earthcaches and go out on the Oodnadatta Track to stay in Oodnadatta overnight on our way back to coober Pedy!

Happy to have easily found this cache after a frustrating time activating a Telstra sim for my phone! TFTC

Velk cesta do Ocenie - Coober Pedy, South Australia - Erldunda, Northern Territory (480 km)Hwy to Hell ! Tak dnes to pilo. Verej vldn mraky se rozplynuly a zstalo jen rud peklo a mouchy. M dal etapa po Stuart Hwy mla 480 km a tm se to nedalo vydret. 3x jsem musela zastavit na odpovadle a zavt oi a dokonce i j, zapishl odprce klimatizace, ji musela spustit. Jet te ve 21 hod je venku pes 40C !!!! A co je nejhor, cesta byla dsn nezivn a tm mornj. Cel vede stle rovn nzkou bu a nen tu vbec nic jinho. Po 400 km se objevilo pr rudch kamen a pak zase nic. Kdybych tuila, jak nehezk placat zem to zde je, letla bych k Uluru letadlem a tenhle vlet si odpustila. dn vhledy, panoramata, zvata ani civilizace. No prost nestoj to za nic. Jsem z Austrlie pomrn dost zklaman. Jestli to ztra nezlep ten velk brmbolec a nrodn parky, tak u nevm. Vechno je tu takov polorozbit, polopinav. ekala jsem tedy od normln civilizovan zem opravdu vc. Resortem tu nazvaj nco jako kemp s ubytovnm v chatkch nkde na Vltav, ovem s cenou resortu nkde u moe. eknete si, etila na ubytovn. Ale tady nic jinho nen. Nejbli dal ubytovn je 250 km a tam spm ztra. Jsem unaven z vedra a otrven. Verej motel z hlny ml aspo njakou atmosfru. Kdyby tam nevalo dcko v sousednm pokoji, byl by i dost fajn. Rno jsem jet okoukla Coober Pedy a vlezla do muzea tby opl, ale ani ten utr jsem si nekoupila. perky byly dsn fdn. A pak u jsem cel den jen jela tm rudm peklem a obas se zastavila u njak keky. Pak u se mi ani ke kekm nechtlo v tom pernm vedru. Pejela jsem do 6. australskho sttu Northern Territory a dojela do tohoto obskurnho kempu zvanho resort. Jsem velk milovnk jzdy autem a filmu Priscilla, krlovna pout, tak jsem si chtla cestu po Stuart Hwy zat. Ale vdt to, co vm te, nikdy bych se do toho znovu nepustila. Te u to, bohuel, musm jen vydret.Today was only permanent hell. It was about 45C and sunny all day. I drive from Coober Pedy to Erldunda in Northern territory. If I had known how monotonous the journey would be, I would have flown by plane. There are no views of the countryside, just low bushes everywhere and terrible heat. Neither animals are to be seen, nor is civilization here. I stopped by some caches on the way. Thanks for all caches I visited and greetings from Czech republic.

Found thanks

Quick park n grab thanks

Together with Travelser I'm going Down Under. We are driving around with a motorhome. Started on the 17th September in Cairns. Our plan is driving.along the eastcoast down. Then in the south on to Adelaide and from there ending the 31th October in Alice Springs.During our trip we of course search for several caches. Most of them brought us to very nice spots, like this one.All the CO's, and in this case OzFiresafe, thanks for bringing us here and give our trip a special accent.

On my roundtrip along Australia with Oopie we are douing always some caches.Today we ware on the way from Adelaide to Uluru and we did a few nice caches.CO thanks for bringing us on this nice place and make this cache.

A quick find while in town. TFTC

Nice place thanks greetz from holland

Found by The Empire + HLeaving behind the lunar-like landscapes of Coober Pedy, we set out... Our destination: Yulara, the gateway to one of the world's most iconic natural wonders, Uluru. The road, once again, stretched endlessly before us, cutting through the vast, arid expanses of the Australian outback. The sky above was a brilliant blue canvas, unmarred by clouds, and the sun beamed down with unrelenting intensity, casting a warm glow over the ancient land.Amid the desert's raw beauty, we spotted pockets of vibrant life. Hardy desert plants clung to the earth, their resilience a testament to nature's ability to thrive in even the harshest of environments. Surprisingly, we didn't spot any kangaroos, but emus were a common sight, their distinctive forms gracefully roaming the arid landscape. Another quick find along the way, thanks for the cache OzFiresafe.- M

Thanks for the hide Easy find Found on our road trip

Found whilst doing a stop over on our trip back down from Kings Canyon.Thanks for the find.

Back in SA and our first for this trip. Cheers and tftc

OMG…..I can’t contain my excitement

Grinners are winners

Myself and my muggle friend are travelling to Darwin on the Ghan and I didn’t think I’d be able to make a find in Marla, as the nearest one was on the wrong side of the tracks! Little did I know I would have the pleasure of meeting Hi-Vis Winnie.
Winnie and her wheels took me for a quick spin around the outskirts of Marla. She had never heard of Geocaching and I think she was more excited than me to learn of these hidden treasures in her backyard.

Log Book replaced

Micaparamedic, Team Crackers, Geoturtle37 and myself were making our way back to Victoria. Although we seem to keep taking detours, this being one of them. It absolutely poured here last night so it took a bit to break camp. Sometimes previous finders don't make things easier. Thanks for placing the cache for us to find.

After breaking a rather soggy camp from the rains last night, we made a nice quick find here. Thanks for placing the cache.

Together with my favorite geocacher Milonguera we traveled to Australia We went to Melbourne via Singapore and from there we explore the south, the center and the east coast.
We walked around Melbourne and had a nice meet & greet event. Than we visited Philip Island with the pinguins and the Great Ocean Road. We fed and petted kangaroos visited the koalas and continued north via Coober Pedy to Alice Springs.

Zusammen mit meiner Lieblingsgeocacherin Milonguera reise ich nach Australien. Über Singapur flogen wir nach Melbourne und von dort wollen wir mit dem Camper den Süden, das rote Zentrum und die Ostküste erkunden. Wir liefen durch Melbourne und trafen nette Menschen bei unserem Event, wir besuchten Philip Island mit den Pinguinen und die Great Ocean Road mit den 12 Aposteln.
Wir fuhren nach Adelaide, besuchten die Koalas und weiter gings Richtung Norden über Coober Pedy bis nach Alice Springs.

**Thanks for the cache!
Thanks for showing the location and for hiding the cache. You should come to Berlin in Germany to find a lot of interesting geocaches, visit lost places in the surrounding Brandenburg and meet nice people at many events.
I wish you a lot of fun and great adventures while searching for the next geocache!**

Ich bedanke mich bei OzFiresafe für den Cache, das Zeigen dieses Ortes, das Legen und Pflegen der Dose und den Spaß beim Finden! Thanks for the cache!
Ich wünsche weiterhin viel Spaß bei der Suche nach den Dosen, nette Menschen beim nächsten Event und tolle Erlebnisse und Abenteuer beim Suchen und Finden!

Ohne tolle Owner wie Euch wäre das Spiel nicht möglich. Ich freue mich, wenn Ihr auch meine Caches in Berlin-Britz besucht. Neben der Hufeisensiedlung, die zum Kulturwelterbe der Unesco gehört, gibt es viele alte Bunker zu entdecken und die Baustelle der Autobahn A100 ist auch immer wieder interessant. Von der neuen Minna-Todenhagen-Brücke zwischen Baumschulenweg und Oberschöneweide hat man einen schönen Blick auf die Spree und kann nebenbei ein paar Dosen finden.
An Neumond lade ich zum Sternegucken auf die Berliner Berggipfel oder an astronomische Orte ein. In der dunkelsten Nacht zwischen den Vollmonden genießen wir den Blick auf die blinkenden Sterne und die funkelnde Stadt Berlin.

A 2 month/11,000km road trip up north to Darwin, where it’s a lot warmer than here after Mrs Boomajarril & I packed up the caravan, geo-dogs, and left the 9°C cold weather behind. An easy walk from the camp ground on an RDO from driving. Cache in good nic.

A quick easy find after spending the night at Marla. Tftc

A quick stop for a last cache before setting back out onto Oonadatta track to visit some places we missed last time. Loosing out light rapidly and we need to find a place to camp before long. Thanks for the cache!

We are staying in Marla for the night on our way back to Victoria. It’s blowing a gale at the moment so the dust was blowing everywhere when I walked up to collect this cache

Easy find

TFTC, a nice easy stroll after parking up the car and caravan for the night.

Found with SMM on our Oodnadatta Track adventure. TFTC

Found with Sea eagle on our “mid” adventure through the middle of the state. What could go wrong? SpidermonkeysGrandMums health suddenly declined, 3 out of 4 of us had been sick (not covid luckily but many tests have been required and results transcribed between towns and phone coverage) left the monkey home not well, farina bakery was closed due to covid and was the highlight of the beginning of our trip, the backup battery decided to die. So, we don’t know really how far we can go and taking each day, one at a time.

Overnighted at Port Augusta (just to get out of the house early) , two nights camping at Farina, (frosty!) two camping at coward Springs and then two at William creek (hotel room and hopefully a scenic flight)

The skies have been amazing at night and the sunsets fantastic. We haven’t been able to find all the caches en route due to the drivers demands but we selected some old and 360 degree from home special ones. Nothing wrong with leaving a few for “next time” either.

Thank you for placing it for us to find. Thank you for contributing to the geo map and maintaining when required. TFTC
