Alice None, Norfolk Island
By endeavour3 on 21-May-16. Waypoint GC6J6FK

As we have a problem logging caches here on the island, mainly because we are operating without the local SIM card in our phones, I leave the logging till I get back into my accommodation where I have access to the wi-fi. So Im going with a generic log on a few of the caches we find. We are logging as VIIPERS. Thanks for the cache.

A group of caching friends are visiting from the mainland and enjoying the scenery while caching. The log was signed as team (viipers) who include cybergran V, SciFiRulz, Riddell, Ronice88, icybeetas and myself. Emily bay is so picturesque. We spent the afternoon on the glass bottom boat tour and I couldnt get over the amazing array of coral and fish in the bay

A group of geocaching friends consisting of Val (cybergran V), Ian (half of the team Riddell) Ian (icybeetas) Pam (weirdobiker) Evelyn (SciFiRulz), Ronice (Ronice88) and Sylvia (half of team Riddell) are touring Norfolk Island with the aim of finding every cache here. This was a quick find of a cache in good condition and the log signed as Viipers to save space. Thank you endeavour3 for placing and maintaining it as this cache enhanced our visit to this beautiful island.

So lovely down here today Alice! So fab.So idyllic.Today for us its like Norfolk has been a myth or has at least has been in the imagination mirrored by faded school lessons for so longnow the dream to visit Norfolk Island is real! The holiday suddenly looks busy busy with a schedule of tours, events and 70+ caches to find. From the first step on the island everything has been fabulous. TFTC

After lunch at Emily Bay, we headed up to walk along the coast path, marvelling at the range of blues in the ocean today and the spectacular rock formations. Poor Alice was very nearly grown over and quite challenging to sit upon, so we attempted retrieval from the back and were successful that way. I imagine it would be quite a good view were it not for the foliage! TFTC, endeavour3. =^.^=

Hmm view not so good from where Im sitting, bit overgrown. Just as well the views were stunning to get here. Thanks for the adventure.

DNFI was there after dark, so maybe it was a bad idea to try to find a micro size cache It was still a nice walk as the sun was going down though.

What a lovely spot to remember Alice!And some fantastic rock pools!Enjoying two weeks on Norfolk Island always wanted to visit, now Im here! And theres caches of course! Beautiful place, thank you endeavour3 for placing this game piece here, showcasing this lovely area and contributing to this great game for myself and others to enjoy. Happy trails!

Definitely not a 1.5 terrain walking along the top 9f the cliff great hint led us straight to it. Tftc

Found on visit to NI on 7/9/24. TFTC

Great view but hang onto your hat. It can get a bit windy. Tftc.

So sad, our week on this beautiful island is nearly over. Today is our last full day on the island and although we have been to this part of the island with all it's history several times we have not found any of the caches here. This morning while there seemed little stirring around our accommodation our group, The Woof Patrol (Calypso62, Gatherer Hade, FunFurMe, Chookie, Goldberry17 and me) set off early hoping to finish off the south-eastern part of the island. We wandered around Emily Bay then came up along the cliffs to see what Alice could see.Not much these days if she used that seat!TFTC # 6072

#7495- After doing a number of ALs this morning, this was the first traditional for the day. A lovely spot with Alice to contemplate the world. Obviously the other guy sitting within metres overlooking the water thought so too. TA nice easy find here. Thanks

Heres to Alice

OCW frazeydaze. We reached gz at the same moment a rainy wind squall hit. Yuk,we got out of there as quickly as possible. Cache all good. SLRC as found. TFTC endeavour3

Found with oldmorty.The wind was unbelievable. Then it started to rain. Oldmorty headed for cover while I finished signing the log.Thanks to the CO for the cache.

Wandered along with the group to make the find here. We spent a fun and productive week geocaching on Norfolk Island, as well as seeing the spectacular views. We also did several tours and other activities on offer, which highlighted different aspects of the island life and history. Thanks for this cache.

OCW EverestHigh. TFTC endeavour3 & TeamAstro

Sniped this one cheers

The naughty geocachers ran away from the tour guide for this cache. Why not take the opportunity when it arises! But being part of a group we will have to keep to time. Brilliant weather, spectacular views, the best!!

Found Alice in this wonderland that is NI. ?? TFTC endeavour3

Found with a bunch over from the big island. Finds variously signed under the group acronym SNIP and individually. Another where we stopped for the scenery and made a beeline to the hide. Thanks endeavour3 & TeamAstro.

Found when our island orientation tour bus stopped at the Lone Pine. Lovely spot with great views.

Found it. Wonderful location. Out on a bus tour of the island with the SNIP. TFTC

#14377 9:45The second day of Geo Adventure 2024 with a group of geocachers visiting Norfolk Island. This morning we started with an organized bus tour of the island. We learned a lot about the fascinating history of the island and the various settlements.This was another beautiful spot where we got off the bus, and immediately wandered off in search of Alice. Whilst the bus driver was tooting the horn and our tour guide shouted to get back into the bus as "he did not have all day" we found a logged this cache.TFTC Endeavour3

Good place to have a seat here - except the vegetation has grown a lot!Still the cache was found, signed and replaced. Thanks go to endeavour3 for this cache placement.

Found with this group from the mainland while on our Norfolk Island Geo-Adventure. We had to find this one, as our daughter is named Alice.Signed as SNIP24. TFTC

Found in the most beautiful spot! Thanks for bringing us here.

As the bus tour continued to Point Hunter the geocaching ant line soon headed to Alice after a few head scratches at the EC which needed a re visit. The likely spot was screeches but a number before someone said found!Signing duties completed and cache re hid. TFTCMore great views.

Searched under on searched beside bbbah

Enjoyed exploring the area. Found the cache OK. The site could do with a bit of a pruning!

Still there and found TFTC

Soz. Could not find it

Still managed to find it in the overgrown shrubbery

All good great views. TFTC

Sorry Alice I was unsuccessful in finding you after a long search however I did find a painted lid of a container thats very popular in the Geocaching community. Geobestys 09/02/2024

TFTC Lovely views TNLS

Took a lovely short walk along the track here and found the bench. Almost din't see it. Its a shame its being swalloed by vegetation and no longer has any views. However its a perfect place to hide a cache as the muggles will surely be kept at bay. Great views to Nepean and Phillip Islands

Thank you so much for a wonderful geo cache. Good fun and maybe trim the hedge thank you

I didnt even know there was a chair up there

All good

Trim the hedge lol

Easy find. No lid on cache.

Tftc great spot!

Day 2 of my Norfolk Island adventure. I can understand why people want to live here . Its a little bit of paradise. Lucky Im not scared of cows. Ive seen plenty wandering around Some logs signed as N2OThis is my 12061find.Thankyou endeavour3 for placing and maintaining this cache

Beautiful spot. TFTC

Last cache for the morning. Poor Alice needs someone to come along and trim the hedge to get her view back! Cache found and signed. TFTC

After having found Emily Bay, we continued towards Alice, a little unsure about which level to be on. Eventually we found the place, and noted that Alice could not see much of the pretty views from her place.

Quick find after an early morning swim. We just love this coast line.

I came to Norfolk on a huge 108000 tonne beast called a cruise ship which quickly overwhelmed the island population. Upon arriving in the main town, and a quick coffee it was time to cache. We went for a walk to Kington to see the sights down by the ocean, and found caches along the way. Then after a friendly local drove us back to town, there were more caches near the tender port, cascade. Loved Norfolk, bon voyage. God hint, seat getting devoured by plant life. Tftc

What an amazing view! A lovely spot to sit and rest. A quick and easy find, thank you

Found with the Canberra group on the 4th day of our Norfolk Island geocaching adventure. Log signed as Dem CBR. Tftc

Over with IolantheK from Brisbane celebrating our 40th wedding anniversary [^]Another cache in and around Kingston!Nice easy find, cache in good condition [^]Just a bit blowy here today, even had my hat blown off!!TFTC endeavour3 & TeamAstro

T-Tech and I are visiting Norfolk Island for our 40th anniversary. We arrived from Brisbane and are staying for 2 weeks at Endeavour Lodge, and plan to get some R&R, see all of the sites, learn the history, and gather every cache here so we can claim the Se Dun Challenge After my event in town this morning we headed to Kingston to attend the CITO, collect all the caches and adventure labs, and take in all the history. It took us most of the day to get it all done! A very windy walk from the nearby Earthcache brought us to GZ (which was very nicely sheltered from the wind) and T-Tech made a quick find. TFTC, endeavour3.

What a fabulous spot. So cold and windy today How exciting to be at Norfolk finally. This has been the plan for so long.

# 8898 First find on Norfolk Island with iPlod65. Were here for 9 days inane extended geo-mission and holiday. So far so good. This was a lovely spot overlooking Philip Island on our first real exploration since arrival. Just lovely. It loon a minute or two to locate.Thanks endeavour3 & TeamAstro

First cache found on Norfolk Island while holidaying with StrangeTrousers. Beautiful place overlooking Phillip Island.

Tftc

First stop during our P&O cruise, definitely had to try and get a cache while here. Enjoying the island on this windy day, our first time on Norfolk. Thanks for the hide!

What a beautiful place to find a cache. Very peaceful. Thanks for the cache!

Perfect day and on island for a few hours. Thanks for maintaining so many caches.

During July my wife and I took a break from Melbourne and spent a wonderful week on the Island - the first time for me (but hopefully not the last) and the second for her. Such a delightful place! I took my GPSr, with the traditionals downloaded (I don't really make the time to do puzzles or multis) and figured I would find a few as we went around the place. I never had any intention of finding all 41 of them, but somewhere around day 5 I realised it was actually feasible.

In the end it was a close call - one quite tough-to-get-to cache (Bird Island) I had to visit twice after not reading the description before my first visit and discovering it is really a multi and then stuffing up the calculations so I had an almost blind search for the cache; another (St Barnabas) was out of its hidey hole so took three visits before I found it among some fallen leaves nearby). But I got there and managed to claim them all.

In the interests of saving the limited data on my phone, I only look placeholder drafts during the week and am completing them back home, a month later. So with all due apologies, they are going to be pretty generic for the most part. But I will add comments about those that I particularly remember. No matter how detailed the final logs, I want to say a big thanks to those who have placed the caches and those who continue to maintain them. I had great fun finding them and they really helped make sure I saw as much of the Island as possible. So - a big and sincere TFTC

Such a delightful place around here. The beauty of Bay, the ocean, the islands, the history. So much of what is wonderful about Norfolk can be found just around this GZ.

Took more than a minute but worth the view! Tftc.

TFTC - 21 June 2023, Nice view

A few too many muggles around this area earlier in the week, so I never attempted to track down this cache. Back in the bay today though, it was very quiet so it was a perfect time to move in for a hunt.

I didn't think I would find 'that' at the top, but it made for somewhere to rest up once the container was in hand. Sadly, the greenery is overgrowing its surroundings and when sitting, you can't see a thing.

I located the cache, extracted the log, added my name and returned everything as found.

Cheers endeavour3 & TeamAstro.

Great views of the sea and beautiful Emily Bay from this cache. Thank you for bringing me here and TFTC

Easy walk, nice view, quick find! TFTC

Great hide took me a minute I won’t lie! The view is

Oh I am thinking it a magnetic so it won't be on wood or its hanging in a bush! Dog. It's easy after you find it. Thanks for the cache.

We parked nearby, and I made the slog directly up the hill. Needed a rest at the top The cache was quickly found and logged. Took the easier less direct route back. Thanks for the cache.

Mobile GPS issues stopped me from finding this one quickly, but it was well worth the effort. Perhaps the view from here could be improved by a little gardening...

After searching long enough to feel our feet burningn we were starting to wonder why everyone said this was an easy find. At last the cache was found by Ktbrwn1 after I completely overlooked it. Thanks for bringing us here, a trail we would have missed otherwise!
