As some other cacher wrote, it is not there...
Please look after or disable it!
Please look after or disable it!
Could be it's just not here anymore so should just be archived. Or come back and fix it
This cache is definitely not at the GZ. I didn't have anything to replace the cache with whilst there, but will try to get something there asap.
I am rather disappointd to log a DNF for this cache, because I *really* love the giant caterpillar.
The Skink and I searched every nook and cranny, under, behind, above the seats. We also ranged further afield, but still no luck. [:o)]
Having since seen Gans' photo of the redback spider under the seat, I am pleased I was wearing thick builder's leather gloves.
However, the visit was not a complete waste, as I did a quick CITO clean up of the ground around the caterpillar.

I did a thorough search over, under and all about and didn't see any redbacks or the cache. Interesting sculpture though. Thanks for showing it to us.

[Pink]As we head from town to town as part of our "Purposeful Meander around Oz" the Rats and the Mini Rats found this cache. Dad did most of the hard work here, the detail of the find can be found in the Rats log. Sorry for the duplicate log but it takes nothing away from the find.
Thanks for being part of our great adventure.

This cache was across the road from our van park and a nice quick grab.... An interesting structure

This is what I love about geocaching. Would probably never have come here, even though we are staying just over the road, had it not been for the cache. And I loved it! Thanks redcenterdazza!
Quick grab as we wandered around Alice springs while waiting for the wife to finish her course
Found this a very interesting area with the aviation museum closeby
thanks to redcenterdazza for putting this cache out for us to find

Very interesting place. I may not have come here if it wasnt to find the cache. Nice easy find and not hidden in bush for this carefull kiwi.
A quick find while on our discover Alice Springs trip. More to come soon. TFTC.
Very smart place to hide it and very small Got muggels walking past so had to be very stealthy.TFTC
Let the kids have a play at the park while I got down to business. Took a little longer than expected but of course it was the last seat that I check wasn't it! Haha. As long as I found it - all is good then!
Thanks redcentredazza for the find
Log signed & replaced. TFTC & smiley face

Yay, second attempt, this time in much more favourable light conditions and sucess! TFTC.
Thanks redcentredazza. It sort of fell off unexpectedly. Hope I've put it back in the right spot. Thanks for bringing us to the caterpillar.
In town for the MTBO Nationals this weekend. Heading back into town after this afternoon's MTBO race. Quick find here. TFTC
Now, here's me thinking that I was about to get on my hands and knees again at normal caterpillar level. How wrong was I. A striking display of local art with a cache to boot.

This is a most impressive piece of art. So well done. Plenty of possible hiding spots so we were lucky to locate the cache container quickly.
After another very enjoyable breakfast with The Drovers the again kindly took me out for a great days caching.
We had heard of the Caterpillar dreaming earlier on this trip when 2Lost_Souls mentioned the origins of the MacDonnell Ranges, this cache page has filled in a lot more of the beliefs of the Arrernte people.
We have to say this is the first cache we have searched for while listening to traditional music, which made it easy to just listen to the music when a muggle came to close.
It took us quite a few minutes of searching before we were able to locate the hide and add our names to the log.
Again many thanks redcenterdazza for showing us this location and the history around it.

Travelling around Australia, and we are now camped at the showgrounds in Alice Springs.
After a long and relaxing breakfast with Team Crackers, we headed out to locate some
caches around Alice Springs. With a good variety of hides & containers, we were keep
well entertained for most of the day. After a short search, the cache was located.
Log was full, so we put in a new one.
Many thanks for the hunt today, redcenterdazza.

a late night find in the dark after just arriving in Alice Springs and staying at camp ground across the road
This is the smallest one I've found! Great sculptures to look at. Needs a new log book. This one was full so didn't sign it
A quick find, and interesting sculpture, log was a little damp, and full, needs replacing. Thanks redcentredazza, for the cache. SL cheers.

We have returned from Canada to discover a few more Australian caches! What a great way to explore the "land down under."
Well hidden & lots of muggles about. Almost gave up on it, then had one last look gave us and there it was.
Thanks for showing us this interesting place redcenterdazza!

Quickly found by Lampenknecht on his way from Darwin to Melbourne. Greetings from Germany and TFTC.
Just love a cache in a cultural location, loved the area and would not have known about it without your cache. A fave for it. Visited with Wayamba wundarra my TB TFTC.
Waiting for a plane to catch in the afternoon, we had a pic-nic in the nearby park and went to search for the cache afterwards. Unfortunately, we apparently didn't "take the good seat" and hence didn't find the cache.
Thanks for the interesting explanation, however.

What an interesting area this is! We camped near this and, of course, had to find this cache between shopping for and cooking tea.

As we approached I could see the cache so it was an easy find.
I just loved the location of this cache we are going to return to spend more time here.
I have given it a favourite point.
Thanks redcenterdazza

Taking the geodog on her daily walk, nice to have a cache so close to home. Wondered what this sculpture was, now I know. Thank you Redcentredazza for showing me to this spot just up the road.
FTF #1! YAY! Sorry for late logging, weve been mega hectic caching and sightseeing, hmm, how do it get the FTF credit now? Some other finders have the GC App date bug I think.
Found on the Central Aust leg of our Round Aust trip, see blog - http://mrlocks.tumblr.com/
A quick find then of to the next one. TFTC.
