Nice quick stop to find this one. TFTC

Found with Roger and addi

Found together with spockfan during our drive from Coober Pedy to Port Augusta. Thanks for hiding .

Clever hide.TFTC

Day three of the road trip to Coober PedyLeft Woomera and headed north for the main aim of the trip, Coober Pedy. Found six traditionals and did an Earthcache before arriving in the opal town. Checked into a nice underground accommodation then headed out to cache. Wasn't expecting to, but managed to completely clear the area in, and just out of, Coober Pedy of all unfound caches for us both. Which, as neither of us have been to Coober Pedy before, was all of them. A great day of caching in a very unique area with a lot of interesting history. Celebrated by dining out then returning to the unique and interesting dugout to put our feet up.Looked here and there, and even contemplated elsewhere before finding the cache and stamping the log. Then was delayed even more by having to explain to a passing policeman the we weren't the potentially nasty people he was looking for, just a couple of innocent cachers going about their business.Thanks to thewhitedoggang for adding to the playing field with this cache.Smilie #15135.*This log composed and published using GSAK (Geocaching Swiss Army Knife).*

Day 3 of our 5 day trip to Coober Pedy. Today found us in Coober Pedy.This is a fun trip for SA Sewer Rats and ttrogg.We stopped here to check out this cache.Finally found it.Stamped the log and replaced as foundWhilst we were rearranging the geomobile.We were check by a policemanWe explained what we were doing.He explained that they were looking for a blue car with similar number plates.Tftc

Nice easy find. Heading south towards home. TFTC??

Thanks for a nice find. Didnt take too long

We stopped here hoping to make a quick find but no such luck. Moved to look inside and something very alive made a sudden move so we were out of there FAST. TFTC

No luck

Thanks for the cache. Took us awhile. And there it was.

Velk cesta do Ocenie - den 20 - Port Augusta - Coober Pedy, South Australia (540 km)Hned kus za mstem Port Augusta m na Stuart Hwy uvtal npis : "Welcome to Outback". Tak tady kaj t zemi nikoho, kudy vede jen tato cesta, po kter pojedu nkolik dn. A je to docela nez. Silnice tedy ve velmi dobrm stavu, bez dr a dost irok, ale jinak nikde nic. Tak jede 540 km v podstat rovn, obas (tak kadch 50 km) mrn zato, benzinka kadch 250 km a vude kolem nzk bu nkdy proloen stromovm porostem a solnm jezerem. Nebe bylo milostiv a cel den bylo zataeno, ale teplo, take dn slunen vhe jako vera. Jelo se mi tedy o poznn lpe. Ale stejn byla cesta dost monotnn a ani ne v pli pestalo hrt rdio, co je dost zsadn ptel, jede-li v aut sm. No, tak jsem si mohla jen tak pemlet. Nkdo kvli tomu chod camino do Santiaga, j mm tyhle sv road tripy. Akoliv jsem jela pes 500 km divoinou, divok zvata tu tm nejsou. Potkala jsem mimo silnici prek loudajcch se ptros i Emu nebo kho erta. A jeden mi pak stl v cest pmo na Hwy, ale vidla jsem ho vas, tak nov pov boa nemm. K veeru se pak zaali po cest motat jacsi leguni, ale vtin jsem vyhla. A nejsou tu taky skoro dn keky. Pr jsem jich pece jen na trase odlovila a nkter m dost pobavily nzvy jako Permanent Hell i Population ... flies .... 2.000.000. Ob mly pravdu .... Cesta mi zabrala pes 8 hodin vetn zastvek u keek, na vyhldkch, toalet a nkup kvy a coly a dvou kratch prochzek a jedn men off road zajky pro starou keku. To byla tedy vyprskan phoda.

Snad jsem tu potvoru aspo omrila. Ale zvednout ten utr a vrtit box na msto u jsem si tedy netroufla. Radji jsem vedle vytvoila jinou pyramidku z kamen. Ufff ! Toho jsem se bla nejvc ze veho. Ale dobe to dopadlo a j dojela zpt na Hwy a pokraovala v cest. Do slavnho msteka Coober Pedy jsem dojela po 18.hodin, tedy nezvykle brzy, ale mla jsem u cesty pln kecky.

Pank po cest nutn a dnes mm vc asu na logovn a ppravu cesty na ztra, kdy opt pokrauji po Stuart Hwy dl do Rudho stedu Austrlie.Today I started my long road trip through the Australian outback from Port Augusta through Coober Pedy and Yullara to Alice Springs and Tennant Creak and then to the east coast. Hopefully I can do it. It wasn't as hot as yesterday, so I drove 540 km to Coober Pedy quite easily. Along the way, I stopped at a few caches and some of them really amused me like Permanent Hell i Population ... flies .... 2.000.000. Thats true ! Thanks for all caches I visited and greetings from Czech republic.

On a campervan trip across Australia from New Zealand. An easy find here. Looked at the wrong container first.. TFTC

Took a bit to find and there it was plain as a cog. Good hide. No room for writing so didnt leave comment.

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 thewhitedoggang, 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 Alice Springs and we did a few nice caches.CO thanks for bringing us on this nice place and make this cache.

Found by The Empire + HOn our return journey from Coober Pedy to Port Augusta, we retraced the route that had initially led us into the heart of the outback. The vast and ever-changing landscape of the Australian outback welcomed us once again as we headed south.As we ventured further, the transition from the opal-rich territory of Coober Pedy to the more varied environment of the Flinders Ranges became a familiar sight. The red earth and desert plains gradually transformed into the cultivated fields of hardworking farmers, demonstrating their resilience in this challenging terrain. Thanks for the cache thewhitedoggang.- M@empiregeocaching

Found.lost..and found again.

Good one.Cheers and tftc

It fell down on the ground and managed to find it

Travelling with iluvtrekking from WA up the coast to NT and down through the Centre to SA and back home over the Nullabor. After spending a couple of nights in Coober Pedy, we headed twds Woomera picking hides along the route. Quick find here thanks whitedoggang

Travelling with richlink from Perth to Darwin up along the west coast and home again through the centre and the Nullarbor, picking up caches along the way. Moving day. Today, we are off to Roxby Downs. This is one of the caches we found on our route. Thanks WDG.

Thanks for the cache, All looks to be in good condition with this one!

Heading towards Prominent Hill this afternoon, only time for a few quick caches along the way.
Enough of nothingness along the highway to check out other places
Find number 29699 for me.
Thank you thewhitedoggang for hiding this geocache.

TFTC

A trip to Perth checking out some of the awesome places along the way in ACT, NSW, Qld and NT. Grabbing some old caches and missing LGAs. TFTC.
A great icon in this store landscape. Nice hide.

Not only would I be interested in the history of Harbutts Town House, but I am also curious as to how this structure got here. Did it fall off one of the many road trains that travel up this road? Or did it just run out of steam.

TFTC thewhitedoggang
Keep smiling

Found quickly

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 to Coober Pedy.

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 bis Coober Pedy.

**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 thewhitedoggang 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.

Continuing our trip from Melbourne to Darwin and back, we are now on our way back home and traveling from Alice Springs to Port Augusta for a day or two’s R&R there. We grabbed a few caches on the road as we travelled by but sadly heading to a much cooler climate with each kilometer
A quick find in this ahh… hmmm… something.

Gee thats novel
Thanks

Nice and easy my dad over looked but i found it sraight away nice spot tftc

15.07.22 tftc found with the grandkids

Easy find tftc

Found

Was almost unreachable but reached it with a magnet. Placed it back in its proper spot (we think). TFTC.

Sir_spectre and I went on a long overdue holiday to the Northern Territory. We had some great experiences and saw some amazing natural wonders. Not all went to plan - covid closures, flood effected roads, renovations, hot weather, some car troubles and not forgetting the huge jump in fuel costs
Any caches that needed repairs were fixed and numeous logs were replaced or added too.
Thanks to thewhitedoggang from mogni

We stopped, we read the sign, having been to Tarcoola i don't understand the sign either, looked in, There are bones in there. Mogni failed to find it. I reached in and with longer arms got it, stamped and replced. nice UV protection for the cache.

Mogni and myself went to the Northern Territory for a 10 day holiday. We drove 5478 km's in those 10 days. The plan was to go up the Sturt highway and then go via Ayers Rock, King's Canyon and then through to Alice Springs stopping at the gorges/chasm/gaps along the way. As you can expect nothing goes to plan. Day 1 Adelaide to Cooper Pedy, made it just before the Roxby Downs turn off and blow the side wall on the tire of the 4x4, 193 km detour just to get a tire and even then it was the second tire place that had the tire the correct size. We had camels come in to the campsite in Erldunda Roadhouse, they even left hoof prints 1/2 a foot from the tent, at King's Canyon we had dingo's come through the camp ground both nights we where there and at Alice springs we had a mouse move in under the tent in their campground. Some of the aboriginal towns we passed where in lock down because of covid 19 so no going in to get fuel there, that changed some plans. The floods where way worse up in Northern Territory than i realized. Some creeks/rivers i could see the debris over 2 meters from the river bed and down one 4x4 track it washed the road away completely, the hole was 3/4 the length of the 4x4 and over 6 foot deep. The temp was 33 to 36 for 9 of the 10 days and finally cooled down for the drive home. We got 7 different caches types in the N.T. plus every different cache size. It was a good trip but not the one we planned. To many of the roads in the N.T. where damaged and not repaired ( still closed ) so that cancelled plan A but that's just a excuse to come back isn't it. Come back and see what you missed last time when the roads are fixed. We came with 19 regular " geocaching size " containers and a milk crate of small containers by day 7 all the regulars where used as replaced caches and by day 8 the smalls where gone. It was the UV rays a lot more than the floods that killed the caches and almost all the log books where saved, the micro containers seemed to have constantly full log sheets so they where replaced too.

Sydney to Alice Springs Road Trip.
Day Six: Woomera to Kulgera.
Fantastic weather!

Love these quirky outback caches. Thanks for the cache and the warning about Tarcoola! Cache i great condition. Love your work TWDG.

Quick find. Thanks

I have never been to Tarcoola so I have no idea where this Harbutts place is. I did find this little blue chap though. Great spot for a cache, easy to park here.

Sneaky lil hide. TFTC

I thought the container has been muggled when I saw a screw lid on the ground but the cache is in perfect condition. TFTC

Stopped for this sneaky hide TFTC

Found while travelling up the Stuart hwy

Out and about with Purrfect Di and Jack...

Despite rumours of there being nothing at Tarcoola, it remains on our bucket list due to several small green marks on our map!!! Not today though sadly.
A nice quick find of a smaller than expected but neatly hidden cache.

Love this part of the country.

Thank you thewhitedoggang for another nice yellow smiley on our South Aussie geomap

----------------------------------------------------

2020 won. it's not over yet!
- - search at a social distance wherever you can - -

Keep away from the nasty bugs ( except travel bugs of course )
- keep a good distance from people as much as you can, they spread the nasty bugs! [:o)]
- go out and find or place some new caches in our regional areas where it's safer away from bugs!!

Super quick find to break up the trip!

Quick Drive by with Gale Force winds. Signed and replaced log.
Thanks for the cache.

Very sneaky little microcache! You won’t need to bend for it!

Geoniece once again raced me to this one, she spotted it glinting in the sun straight away. Another nice quick find. We had to hide it again as it wasn't really hidden before. The log below me from geoniece (hflr) contains a picture of how we hid it.

Photo isn't really a spoiler.

TFTC!

A good find but needed to hide it again

A quick find with Jac-Jam while on our way up to Coober Pedy. TFTC

Haha, probably they meant “it’s history” instead of historic.

Interesting. TFTC

Can't help with scenic Tarcoola but appreciate the cache to break the drive north. Tftc

Easy find

Heading home from the 17th National Caravan Rally in Albany.
Taking a little detour up to Coober Pedy and Woomera.

Thank you

Today our tour - which began in Perth, WA , and led us thru Western, Northern and Southern Australia back to Perth, was simply driving from Coober Pedy to Kimba.

On the way we came to some interesting locations. Here we searched, found and logged this Tradi-Cache.

Weather was good in the morning and it should even get better during the day.

Thanks to 'thewhitedoggang' for showing us this location, for the fun we had with 'Harbutts Town House' and for the smiley. The search here and today didn't take too much time, fortunately.

For our 14.000th cache we give a fav point.

Greetings from Germany and we hope to see you soon in the forest, prairie, desert or outback .

Solo camping trip over a Few days Travelled from home (Port Augusta) to Iron Knob then on to the dirt and on up past Lake Gairdner on to Kingoonya, across to Glendambo and back to Port Augusta, grabbing a few of the easy caches along the way. Country was dry as a Dead Dingoes Donger, Track was rough with sand drifts, gibbers and lots corrugations an awesome trip! grabbed this one as the light was fading on the last leg home thanks for the cache/s

On our way from Coober Pedy to Port Agusta. A real container wich we do not see many of. TFTC.

Something about the cache:
**================================================================================
I thought the container was in-side, and I was a little afraid to put my fingers inside, but then I saw the container was outside. Thanks.

Something about the day:
*================================================================================
From october 16 to november 6 2019, my wife (lp.dk) and I visited Australia for the first time.
After a flight of more than 20 hours, we landed in Darwin. After 2 nights in the city we continued in a rented car first towards Kakadu National Park and later towards Alice Springs.
In Alice Springs we were picked up in an off-road bus and went on a 3-day trip into the wilderness, with overnight stays in a tent close to Uluru.
Back in Alice Springs we drove all the way to Adelaide, from where we flew to Sydney, where we visited our son who has settled there.
After 5 days in the city, we flew back to Singapore, which we visited for 2 days before the final flight back to Copenhagen.
In total, the trip lasted just over 3 weeks.
On the trip we would like to find / visit as many Earth caches, Virtual and Webcams as possible, but also the other kinds of caches when possible.
================================================================================*
No trade.
Found together with lp.dk
Thanks to thewhitedoggang for this cache.

On a road trip with CBC2 from Adelaide to Coober pedy via Oodnadatta track returning to Adelaide via the black top. Found many caches along the way some oh so easy and some more challenging. Thanks to all the CO s for their hides. Some took us to some wonderful places. SL TFTC

A cool little stop whilst in the area. I added a new log sheet to the cache. I was not looking forward to feeling around in there due to all of the rubbish and icky stuff, so was happy to find the cache just outside the structure.

Thanks so much for the cache thewhitedoggang

I didn't see any food or fuel stations near by.

Thank you

By the time I got out of the car the cache had been signed and returned. A good time to stretch the legs.

Thank you for placing this geocache.

Found it

As we wander the great land seeing the sights, this is one of the caches we have done.
Thanks to thewhitedoggang for placing the cache for us to find.

It is a random sign, but couldn’t find the cache.

Found in the company of Freddo, e.gregory1, Team Waldron, occasional cacher out of retirement SteadyOn and muggle friend Tony during an awesome trip to the Simpson Desert, staying at Coober Pedy, then camping out at Dalhousie Springs, three nights in the Simpson Desert, Birdsville, Clayton Bore and Aroona Valley. Thanks for the cache thewhitedoggang!

Cache was found as art of a Simpson Desert trek by Team Waldron, Freddo, Featherwaite, E_Gregory1 and a couple of muggles.

After Coober Pedy it was off to Dalhousie Springs then across the desert to Birdsvaille south to Clayton Springs and then one last night in the Flinders.

A great trip and we even had time for a few caches.

Took a few minutes to get this one despite 6 of us being there.

TFTC

Cache was found in the last place we looked, which as usual was not the first place we looked. Thanks for a fun cache guys.

Easter 2020 sees SA hosting the next Easter big event, GeoVenture 2020 at Millicent. GC82DAN. Check it out. We would love to see you there.

We had headed off on an outback adventure but unfortunately it was cut short with Mrs Just a Trifle having to return home to attend to her elderly mother. We were quite rushed and only managed a few quick stops here and there to stretch the legs and search for a cache or two.

This was one of the caches we decided to stop at to try our luck. We had no difficulty in locating the cache and with our name added to the log book, we continued on our way.

Thank you thewhitedoggang for placing the cache and for maintaining it for everyone to enjoy

By a beautyful day together with barbarine by our journey I found this cache. Thank you for the hide and greetings from Germany.
