When will it ever end? East Point, Northern Territory, Australia
By TiedyeSmileys on 12-Apr-14. Waypoint GC52B1A

Think the earthworks in this area have disturbed the cache. Only the packaging appears to remain but the chain and log have disappeared. Have sent pictures to TiedyeSmileys to confirm

Afraid it looks like this cache has been uprooted. The lid and chain, which I imagine completes this 'endless' cache appears to have vanished

Well, it looks like the answer to when will it ever end is unfortunately now.
It was a good run while it lasted

Nice little find here.
Cache is all “chained up” and in good condition. All gazillion miles of it.
Visited 6 TB.

Definitely not a typical park and grab!

Never thought it would

TFTC. It is awesome!!

Darwin Day 3, Part 1:

The plan for the morning was to head up to East Point for the cluster of caches there. I have heard good things about the place, so it was worth checking out before the day got too hot. So, cycled up here after breakfast for a thoroughly enjoyable round of caching before getting back to the hotel for lunch.

The following is the specific log for this cache:
Took a little while to figure out where this one was hidden. Had stupidly zoomed in on the wrong location without consulting the hint. Once I read it, I found the right spot fairly quickly and the cache was pulled out from its hide. Good fun, and funny little cache TFTC!

Well that was wonderfully silly :p

This cache was found today and brings our overall cache find tally to 9768. We found this as part of our 2018 Round Australia trip.

Different cache design. I hadn't read the cache name but felt the pain...

Thanks TiedyeSmileys for the cache.

What a brilliant hide! Well done!

We were not at all sure what we were going to find, but what eventuated was certainly a good match with the name.

Fantastic, great idea. One of my favourites. Tftc.

Very creative which earned a favy

A quick find. Love the idea of this one, so very clever. TFTC

Nice cache a favourite from us all us good with the cache on a road trip from Tassie TFTC

Find 1784
A nice interesting cache construction that lives up to its name. Log eventually signed and back safe again.
Thanks

A quick park and grab! So much chain! TFTC

I liked this one a lot... photo sign

Neat cache for a night mish, left a tracker in there. TFTC:)

Found with Bretty who left a trackable. Creepy place at 9pm

Mooi cryptisch omschreven . Leuke cash.

Nu loopt het echt tegen het einde van ons bezoek aan Darwin, desondanks vandaag nog 7 caches weten te vinden. Sommige zaten weer erg goed verstopt en Gejaaa03, die deze vakantie is gestart met cachen krijgt oog voor de verschillende verstop methodes.

Deze cache was met veel zorg gemaakt origineel in elkaar gezet, ook hier worden we blij van. Dergelijke caches maken het zoeken zo leuk dus hier kennen wij een favo toe.

Snel de naam op het logrol geplaatst en terug geplaatst zoals gevonden.

Bedankt voor het plaatsen en onderhouden van deze cache.

Groet team Geo Burgt.


*Now it's really close to the end of our visit to Darwin, despite 7 caches today. Some were clogged very well and Gejaaa03, who started this holiday with caches, gets an eye on the different clogging methods.*

*This cache was created with great care, and we are happy about it. Such caches make the search so fun so here we know a favo.*

*Quickly put the name on the log roll and put it back as found.*

*Thank you for placing and maintaining this cache.*

*Greeting team Geo Burgt.*

Detour around Australia - family of 6 travelling in a camper trailer for 6 months!!
Due to the lack of reception in the outback regions of Australia, we got seriously behind in logging caches. But a new year's resolution is good enough for me to get the trip of lifetime logged! Thankfully I did diligently write in my diary to record each days events!!

We decide to ignore the heat, and get some use out of the bicycles we had brought along. It was a wonderful and intersting day around the point. Thankyou for another fun cache today!

On a clockwise half lap of the East side of Australia. Travelling in Darwin decided to grab a few caches despite the afternoon heat. Thanks to all the CO'S for their valuable work and maintaining the cache's.
Hide Condition:Fantastic
Ziplock: Damaged

Thanks TiedyeSmilies.

FINALLY found the link in the cache name
Thanks for a great hide LOL.

Last day in Darwin targeting caches with a lot of favourite points.
This is another great cache.
Thanks for the effort.
FP.

Good one thanks

Wow never see the cache before

Awesome cache TFTC

As we made our way through the outback finding caches and having a great time
we found a range of caches some day with Team Cracker, Felix II and firesafe on the way home.

Thanks to TiedyeSmileys for placing the cache for us to find.

Now visiting Darwin after the Red Centre Experience.

A day of exploring East Point by Mr Felix. Most of the caches he tackled by GeoBike but some in the GeoCruiser.

Enjoyed visiting the WWII sites again that we had previously visited as muggles.

Loved it. 2nd time seen a cache like this certainly brings a smile to the dial.

Found but no luck to sign photo takenTFTC

Darwin Day 5
After attending the Parap markets, we continued in the area to find a couple of caches.
Followed the road around the beautiful coastal area.
A good variety of caches found in various locations.

A great cache hide,certainly took some time before we got to the end.
Glad there is stil a few TiedyeSmileys Caches around Darwin. Favouriote point added.

Thanks for placing this cache TiedyeSmileys

#7140 - 11:25; Day 22 of the Alice Mega Road Trip with Sol de lune, albida33 and fitzy_1965, so signing logs as A.L.F.S. This is our last day in Darwin before we pack up camp and head for home again, after attending the Red Centre Experience event in Alice Springs. Today we planned to do some more caching in and around Darwin on a warm (read hot) sunny day combined with a bit of sightseeing. A pretty reasonable day to wrap up this part of the trip with 43 finds, but another 7 DNFs which seem to play a bigger part in the game here in the tropics, or perhaps the heat plays up with our cache blindness a bit more? All caches we located were in good order, including this well constructed cache. TFTC TiedyeSmilies

Alice trip 2017. Day 20. Today Sol de Lune, Luckyl10n, Fitzy_1965 and I spent our last day caching around Darwin near East point and the CBD taking advantage of a quiet Sunday. All in all it was a very successful day.

Thanks.

13600. Next find of Day 12 of the Red Centre Experience Roadtrip. In Darwin.

I flew into Alice Springs to meet up with my caching mates Sol de Lune, Albida33 and LuckyL10n (signing mostly as ALFS) to attend the Red Centre Experience and then venture up north to Darwin and then east into Qld before heading south for home - a three week caching trek.

Next stop for the day. I really like thee types of caches - lots of effort ! Quick find at GZ. Signed the log, replaced the cache, and it was off to the next cache.

TNLN - TFTC !! FP !

Day 3 of our (fitzy_1965, LuckyL10n, albida33 and myself) stay in Darwin. A good day out and about with fewer DNF's than yesterday.

The ones we found were a mixture of micro's and small and a lot were in interesting places. The trip out to the old pub on the Cox Peninsula was a bit of fun, but just a pity to see the old pub has gone!!!

Thanks for all the caches owners and the fun in grabbing them.

Your title is exactly what I am thinking about the rain today.....shocking weather. Thanks for the hide.

Nice one

Awesome cache cheers

This one turned out to be tricky. We did not get the hint right away. Fishi2 and I were searching on separate places to find the Cache faster. However, by the time I figured out the hint, Fishi2 found the hiding place and retrieved the cache.
TFTC

Clever coach. Found it quickly

Thank you this was a fun one.

I really enjoyed this one thank you and yes was wondering at the time when will it ever end you named it well

Didn't quite know what to expect when pulling over for this one, but was pleased to discover than in true Tiedyes fashion, this was something out of the ordinary...ironically, this was the 'end' of Mr O's caching adventures in Darwin this time. Great hide, TFTC Tiedyes.

Great hide. TFTH

Visiting the warmth of Darwin once again we made a find and sign on this great cache.
I remember finding one similar near Whyalla in SA.

Very clever and now I understand the name of the cache a little better! Reminds me of the song, "take a long line" T4TC

Loved this cache. Really well done!! Enjoyed reading about the salt works on the board across the road. Fav point added.

Hi there TiedyeSmileys.

We found your cache **"When will it ever end?"** at 11:22:00 AM today. This cache makes our find count 14238.

Today's cache run was a quick dash to log a few before it got too hot. (We think this may be a regular occurrence for a while). We thoroughly enjoyed our tour today, without geocaching as our guide we would never have found so many interesting places.

We awarded this cache a favourite point for the novelty value.
**Coordinate Accuracy:** We found this cache around two metres from where the GPS said we should be looking.
**Cache Condition:** The container and log book are in good shape.
**Took:** Nothing.
**Left:** Smiley Badge.
**Dropped Trackable:** "Piercing Coin #2".

Thanks for the hunt today,

Regards

Ian & Penny.

In Darwin for the V8's and grabbing caches while we are here when I can. TFTC.

Found the end eventually

Saw one similar to this ages ago, great cache.

Ha Ha soon I hope great hide TFTC

Clever and fun - thank you! We came to East Point to watch the model aircraft fly - what a great day out that was. Geohubby said can we pick up a cache while we are here? Too hot says I. Just have a look he says. In the end he sat in the airconditioned car while I made the find - when will it ever end??

Pretty cool find. Thank you.

Quite the desolate spot! Found on a Sunday arvo walk at east point. Innovative cache, thanks

nice hide have taken TB

Back in town for work so dropped off a QLD TB in this secure hide for the local cachers or travelers to grab.

Found on the way to the office on my last day in Darwin. Certainly a novel idea and I didn't think that it would ever end. This cache has plenty of favourite points and it just got another one from me! Many thanks TiedyeSmileys

Very nice hide, was nearly muggled by some Natives as they came out of the bush nearby, but did get log done at carpark and replaced sneakily A favourite for this one

Today we explored Darwin and surrounds using geocaching as a guide. Well what a great chained cache, thought I was pulling the anchor up on my boat!!! Love the theme left TBs. Also took and left pathtags. Adding to our favourites.

Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.

Went for a quick solo mission during a picnic at the lake, could have almost used some help with the hauling. TFTC.

Found on another lovely day here in Darwin. It really is the most wonderful place for a summer holiday

Landlockedsailors and I had made a little route to find some of the caches that LLS hadn't found yet. We stuck with that - and then a few extra for me as we came by anyway [;]

This was almost (with good will) on the route LLS stayed in the car, while I quickly ran out to find the cache. What a fun surprise that was waiting for me there . I'll have to give a point for the idea [^]

Thanks a lot for the cache

The first funny cache i found in Darwin.
Retrieve one Tb

TFTC!

HAhahaha!
Needed some where to drop a travel bug en route to the airport.
This cache cracked up everyone who witnessed it.

Took nothing, left a travel bug and a few paths tags.

Tiedye never disappoint.

Wow...will it ever end? Took geocoin. TFTC and fav pt given

Found with tassie expat. Wow, you're yanking my chain aren't you? Thanks for this one haha.

Having been out this way for a couple of other caches we headed over. We parked close and soon spotted the camo and then the meaning of the cache kicked in. Very appropriate. We completed the signing duties and dropped in a travel bug after completing the signing duties. TFTC

LOL TFTC TiedyeSmiley

Haha very clever,
Love this one!!

Found it! Brilliant cache, kinda strings you along a bit!

When will it end? Haha love the effort put into this one, TFTC

My last find of the day at 11.37AM. Also my last find in Darwin for the foreseeable future. This one was a bit out of the way; but something told me I should attempt it. I'm glad I did. Initially, I could see where it could be and kept walking round in circles just hoping no lizard jumped out at me. Then, while I was looking for a telephone (?), I nearly tripped over the cache. Boy! did I have to do some work to get the log out. After this, my tanks ran empty and I decided to stop geocaching and head to the airport and relax in a nice air conditioned environment before my flight. TFTC.

We headed out after work to grab a cache to fill a zero on our stats page and to keep our streak alive.

When we chose this cache we wondered where it's name came from, once we found it though all became clear!

Another great cache from you guys so another favourite point from us.

Number 97 in our current streak.

TNLN TFTC

Great cache liked this one

Wow that was a cool hide

Now that's different

Thanks for the awesome cache!

Out night caching with feather checker and we collected this great cache. A wonderful, fun cache. Kids loved the endlessness!! Took 2 TBs to move along. TFTC.

I don't know why it has taken me so long to collect this one. I think I had a fear of getting my feet muddy. But there was no need to fear as it was almost a drive by. Another clever TDS cache. Left a TB. TFTC

Up in Darwin for work. Spent a few hours on Sunday afternoon caching. Really enjoyed this cache. I didn't think it was ever going to end. Dropped TB, a favourite for me. Thanks TiedyeSmileys

A great TDS cache! Found with earth99 and abbytoo. TFTC

Awesome TDS cache with abby_too and mafiagrl. TFTC

Nice quick drive by

Felt like fishing....well done! Took snake left another. Thanks!

In darwin for a month so trying to grab as many as possible. Now I understand the name, cache in good condition. TFTC TiedyeSmileys

[1670]

Arriving near GZ I could see where lots of people had been walking and camping. Looking at my partial clue I moved on and soon saw an interesting spot to check. This one certainly made me laugh as the name once again made sense. The log was soon retrieved and after signing all was returned as found.

Another good themed cache with a twist and a laugh, well done.


TFTC TiedyeSmileys

A nice easy find Today

What the...?????? Great hide.....Found whilst driving around in 'Tara' with my Darwin geobuddies..! TFTC

Well - it finally ended when the conainer rose to the surface... I know where to get some anchor chain now and cheaper than Bunnings!!!
Thanks, TiedyeSmileys

Love these hides. Quick drive by and a clever hide.

I was wondering what the heck when i remembered the name of the cache. another TDS special.

Geohusband grabbed this one and started singing .... chains chains My baby has got me tiedyed in chains! Thanks TDS for another great cache

On and on and on. Thanks TiedyeSmileys.

Went down to East Point for dinner, some sea breeze and sunset.
And for dessert ..... a TiedyeSmileys geocache!
Although, watch out for the ginger ants!! Not an ideal nightcap!

You can't give up the opportunity for a TDS FTF I ventured out after dinner tonight as I noticed this one hadn't been snapped up yet. I drove along and the street lights started getting less and less. I began to wonder if I should continue but the allure of a FTF was too much!

Parked the car and started looking about how to venture in. There were alot of puddles and weird animal noises so I started getting hesitant again...but that FTF.....

Finally ventured in, and almost discounted the cache....but went hey it's TDS so I better check it out. HO\owever there was one of the biggest hermit crabs guarding the opening! Once he moved on, made for what I thought a quick find...but took a bit LONGER than I thought.

Eventually signed the log at 2042h tonight for a rare FTF.

Thanks TDS for such a great cache.
