Thanks for the find!*Found with [Geooh GO](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobiltal.geoohGO)*
Quickie find on the road to Winton. I followed the arrow to GZ and it was displaying 0 metres as I reached for the cache. You cant ask for better than that.
Introducing some friends and they spotted it quickly. Beautiful drive through this country. TFTH
Great set of facilities. Plenty on the road today as we are all returning from the brbThanks for the cache.
Arriving at the cache, a few bully boys attempted to run us down. Not the western way and rather uncalled for but we prevailed with a quick find then got out of there quickly. Thanks generalmanager for another hide in Western Qld.
Travelling with RoddyC hatzofff grannysmith1947.Looks like an ideal spot to watch the sun set. Too early today to stop and wait. Would be a nice quiet spot to camp too.TFTCache The Outback Way
Now that QOGM2023 is over finally some time for myself. Following the other QOGM2023 team members for a little adventure. TFTC generalmanager ( The Outback Way)

My geo friends on this adventure are RoddyC, hatzofff, and grannysmith1947.Nice stop to stretch the legs and a quick find once at GZ Thank you, The Outback Way, for placing this cache for our benefit and enjoyment

What a special spot this is! Budgies, thousands of them, wheeling overhead and then dropping into the grasses in the field just over the fence. (We assume they’re feeding.) The sun is setting and we’ve decided to make this our camp for the night.
But before the sun set we took a walk to find your cache. Good coordinates led us straight to it. All is good here.
And we had a read of the Georgina Diamantina catchment information board. Interesting.
Thank you.

Driving along we made all the stops for caches. I like it when they are at rest stops it’s good for travellers to make them take a break. Quick find and all in good condition.
Looking forward to exploring and this was one of the caches we targeted and found. Thanks
Was finally able to get away on my 2021 trip up to outback Qld.
The original plan was to go up through NSW but that got changed on the morning of the departure so up through SA it was.
Was very apprehensive about towing the new van up the Birdsville track but my only other option was to stay home.
Well the caravan has made it up the track and after Bedourie, Boulia for the Camel racing and it was time to head to Winton for a couple of days.
Still heading along the Kennedy Development Road getting closer to my destination.
You hopefully would not have needed to use these facilities not sure when the last time that were cleaned.
An enjoyable drive along this way with different country side as you go along.
Thanks The Outback Way TFTC.

This one had definitely been muggled. This is such a remote place and I had a couple of spare sistemas, so I decided to replace this cache and hope that the CO does not object to this.
Found some small toys scattered on the ground where it should be but no cache.
Love the Great artesian basin (though didn’t love the Sulfur smell in the artesian water at Winton). Thanks for the cache.
We have headed from A (our home in SW of WA) to B via the Savannah Way now sadly it's time to head back to A via the Outback Way but thankfully breaking up the drive with a few caches here and there along our route.
After spending the night in Winton we are again on our westerly journey. A quick find at GZ while trucks were hosing down in the parking area

Found on trip around Australia with Willow the little black adventure cat. See vancatmeow.com for updates on where we are. Three years on the road.
Thanks for the cache!
Thanks for the cache!
Started doing the caches along this route through to Laverton WA some years ago. Good to get some of them this side of the border and follow the Cobb Coach route. Thanks for putting these out.
found it TFTC. On our way to Birdsville for the Bash just us and 89700000 flies lol here toilets blocked
Easy Peasy one this. And we saw our first zebra finches - they are flitting everywhere with their sweet little chirping. They are nesting under the roof of the picnic shelter.
Travelling towards Winton we have been picking up a few caches on the way and this was one of them.
An easy find at GZ.
Thanks for placing and maintaining this cache for our enjoyment.

After having a fantastic night at the Boulia caravan park we got off to a leisurely start and then really enjoyed doing all the touristy things in town before heading off towards Winton picking up whatever caches that we come across.
These little rest stops are a nice welcome break in the drive but unfortunately they are becoming very popular with everybody else on the drive so again we had to wait our turn as we saw some caravanning muggles move out of sight we grabbed the container and added our name to the log without being seen
Many thanks again The Outback Way for the cache.

Well, a weekend away camping would not be complete without some caches. Had to go the long way home to make it worthwhile. TFTC TNLN
Another typically horrible roadside stop
Plenty flies,
and a very uninviting spot to spend a night
But amidst all the flies and smells,
a shining light in the form of a cache find lit up me day [^]

Driving from Winton to Alice Springs via the Plenty and collecting a few smilies along the way. No problem parking the van here.
Thanks The Outback Way

After attending the Red Centre Experience event and spending a little time exploring some iconic locations in the Northern Territory, it was time to make a more or less express trip back home. Fortunately there were sufficient well placed caches at opportune spots to safely park and stretch our legs on our way home [^].
Now that we have had a small taste of what there is to offer in central and north-west Queensland, we will need to look at organising another trip sometime when we can spend more time to explore the area. We had no difficulty in locating the cache and with our name added to the logbook, we continued on our long journey.
Thank you generalmanager for having placed the cache for maintaining it for everyone to enjoy

Hi there generalmanager - we stopped for two days in Boulia before continuing on to Winton. The bitumen road is just so much better than the bulldust of the Donahue and Plenty 'highways' - they don't deserve that name - they are a disgrace to the NT and QLD governments.That aside, this is our find #4543 - thanks to generalmanager for this cache.
6254 Found by baby&Mrs gopher at 1250. It is amazing the amount of channels and creeks that are crossed along the road in this part of the country. SL Tnx generalmanager
Located quickly interesting country out here.

We are still travelling towards the Red Centre Experience mega Event at Alice Springs and picking up caches along the way, of course. This also was a nice easy find as the info provided was very accurate. Many thanks to generalmanager for another cache to find along the Plenty Highway.
Found on our travel across the Plenty Hwy to the Red Centre Experience.
