Last cache for the day in the Darwin area, before taking the road south to Katherine. Little movement all around me so I was comfortable in moving in for the hunt. As with a few others like this, I had pulled right up to GZ and gave myself some cover from the car. The container was quickly located and my name added to the log.

Cheers Doodle Bug Oz.

Found a very broken cache. No paper and no paper with me to try to add. Probably would have called anyway as really only the base is in one piece. TFTC
 
15-Jul-17
First time up in Darwin working on the football game at the nearby TIO stadium so when I got a break I took off for a quick walk to check out the surrounding sporting complexes and any caches that were around.

There was a game going on at the MCG so nobody was paying attention to me while I searched for the cache. Found in the second spot I checked but it is only just being held together and is in need of some attention before it completely falls apart. I added my name to the log and returned as carefully as possible. Thanks for the cache Doodle Bug Oz.

Quick note though. Seems the hiding spot has been run into by a car and the cache squashed. Needs a new cache container. Was cool watching the cowboys beat the eels here

Hello M.C.G... easy find TFTC
 
17-May-17
Now visiting Darwin after the Red Centre Experience. Razz

The plan today was to head out for a full day of caching but alas as so often happens we ended up doing jobs this morning and eventually left home, after 10am.

Was a tough day with humidiity and heat, green ants but Mrs Felix was enjoying being out and about after the enforced stay recuperating from surgery. Still we struggled for the cooler part of the day.

Managed to find a few caches and DNF a few more. Surprised

Darwin Day 3
Today is a cool day, perfect weather for geocaching. Caching not far from our caravan park.
A couple of solved puzzles & a DNF from last trip were on our list.
A good variety of caches found in various locations

A nice quick find here, Good comparison but only for the initials.

Thanks for placing this cache Doodle Bug Oz

Alice trip 2017. Day 18. Today Sol de Lune, Luckyl10n, Fitzy_1965 and I spent the day caching in and around Darwin. For a southerner it was a hot sticky day. Plenty of caches with lots of DNFs but at least it did not rain.

Thanks.

#7036 - 09:35; Day 20 of the Alice Mega Road Trip with Sol de lune, albida33 and fitzy_1965, so signing logs as A.L.F.S. We had now reached Darwin, our most northerly port, after attending the Red Centre Experience event in Alice Springs. After a night in a cosy bed in an airconditioned room were were up and out early for a day of caching in and around Darwin. Managed 37 finds, but an eye watering 10 DNFs. Not sure what the obsession with nanos is in this part of the world. Cachers going a bit troppo maybe? All caches located were in good order, including this one. TFTC Doodle Bug Oz Smile

13484. Next find of Day 10 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. A quick find at GZ. Signed the log, replaced the cache, and it was off to the next cache.

TNLN - TFTC !!

Day 2 of our (fitzy_1965, LuckyL10n, albida33 and myself) stay in Darwin. It was a mixed bag of a day with about 42 finds, but also about 30 DNF or DNA because of the DNF's, but or course you get that somedays.

The ones we found were a mixture of micro's and small and a lot were in interesting places. Caching in the NT is different to the southern states, so a day of 40 odd is a good return....especially with a bit of sightseeing thrown in as well.

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

I was on a decent and hot walk while killing time before my afternoon flight to Dili when I stopped here and made an easy find. It was good to check out the adjacent stadium. I hadn't known where that was. Thanks for the cache.

25/02/2017 3:54:00 AM - This was a bit of sneaky grab for me, so sneaky that I wasn't able to return it without being seen so I drove off down the road to sign it and then I came back when the coast was clear.

Thanks Doodle Bug Oz Smile Cache is good condition and has spot on co-ordinates.

We had thought we looked at everything close enough but after looking again we had missed the first few times. Children probably won't find this cache due to height. The log needs a new zip seal bag and it is a small log only big enough for a name. TFTC

Found on a lovely day on Darwin. I really can't get enough of the beautiful weather here after a terrible spring and summer in Denmark Smile

Landlockedsailors and I had made a little route to find a few caches near the airport. We had a great time and I got to see places in Darwin that I hadn't seen before - cool Smile

Cool area to see and nice with all these sorts clubs! Even before getting out of the car, I guessed where it would be and so it was. Cache was doing fine.

Thanks a lot for cache CoolCool
