Cool

We travelled 8,500km through 5 states for a 60th birthday party over approx. 6 weeks. We endured many days over 35C and then saw a lot of water in the eastern states. We enjoyed travelling east with family and then they travelled back to Alice and we made our way home to SA, trying to dodge the rain and wet weather.
Caching is a great way to see the many wonderful sights and learn about the places we are travelling through.
Thank you to those who take the time to hide caches

Hej

Yay

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 Alicecaching from mogni

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.

My husband and i are on a 8000km plus geo kms road trip from Brisbane to Uluru and today we are on our way back to Mt Isa and we picked up a few smileys on the way. All these caches were found fairly quick. Thanks for placing these caches here for us to enjoy

Left Cunnamulla after QOGM 2021 heading to Sth Australia, stopped in Mount Isa for a little spell and to catch up with new friends drrnrchr and attack all the caches here. Then WA then back to Cairns June 2022. 17 October 2021 4:47 pm Tyfc Alicecaching total caches now 2845

Thanks

I'm not going to do the whole series but decided to grab few before Alice Springs, tftc!

Found during a trip from Adelaide to the northern tip of Australia and back. Traveling up solo along the Strzelecki Track to Innamincka, then through central Queensland to Quilpie, Blackall, Barcaldine, Hughendon and Ravenshoe to Cairns. In Cairns I met up with e.gregory1 and a non-cacher friend and spent three weeks on Cape York Peninsula before making our way back to Cairns and Mareeba. From there I headed on my own back home via Normanton and Karumba, Cloncurry, Mount Isa, Tennant Creek and back down the Stuart Highway through Alice Springs to Adelaide. All in all I spent six weeks on the road, visited many out of the way locations, enjoying the scenery and finding caches along the way. Thanks for the cache Alicecaching!

After completing the OSH Series nearby, Mrs Snakepitter decided to contnue up the road to do the NOAS Series, however not sure how much we can get done with the roadworks.

Some of the containers are suffering from UV fatigue, becoming brittle, broken sides, clips or lids. Needs a maintenance run

An interesting series of caches. We found them all. The ongoing experiment of tropical sun versus sistema is proving that plastic will fail before the sun goes nova. Where necessary we replaced containers that were too damaged to continue. Some interesting wildlife in some of the caches. Each cache was found in the last place we looked, which as usual was not the first place we looked. Thanks for placing a fun cache guys. We do love your work. We signed the logbook. Of course we did that is way we play this game. Cache in pretty good condition for the cache age.

Easter 2020 was supposed to see South Australia Geocaching hosting the next Easter big MEGA event, GeoVenture 2020 at Millicent. GC82DAN. Due to COVID restrictions the event is now postponed to early October 2021. Check out the event page and our website for new details. We would love to see you at this four day event. Mega event sponsored by Wattle Range Council, Geocaching.com and many other supporters. Lots of caches to find with two classic geo art trails including the famous animated bottle and glass.

This particular geocache was found using one of the following GPS enabled devices, Garmin GPSr, Montana 680t, Oregon 650 or Dakota 20 and a Samsung S8. Waypoints and paperless geocaching were downloaded via GSAK 9. Log prepared, checked and submitted using GSAK publish logs...

Warning, this hobby can be addictive. It can lead to exercise, meeting new people and finding interesting places you might not have known existed otherwise. Beware: you may have fun.

Found on a quick caching run north. Adelaide to Alice Springs and back in a week.

A target of this trip was the NOAS series. All caches were found but some are in need of maintenance as the weather has done them no favours. We replaced where we could .

A nice series but the flies and heat didn't help.

Nice find on a nice cycle trip up the highway from Alice. TFTC

Tftc, a great way to spend a Sunday.
Cache is still in good condition, took pathtag.

Found at 10 to 10am as we set off from Alice Springs to enjoy the Kimberley and beyond. Thanks for the cache, SL, Left Pathtag

We have travelled from A (our home in SW of WA) to B via the Savannah Way with a two week unexpected detainment in Mackay which has set us back, now sadly travelling back to A via the Outback Way from Winton to Laverton.
We have extra time in Alice than we planned so some extra caching is now happening. Gotta get my 4000 before I get back into WA

I had this one the list to do on the way into Alice the other night but I forgo quite a few caches to get to Alice to get urgent problems sorted but we were too late to do that.
Today Mr dimor said I could go 5km north of the Tanami so a few extra finds for today

Another quick find

We go now further North to Darwin. On the way we took some Geocache for "the mystery at the Museum" challange.
This cache was a found for us. Thank you.

Another nice warm Winter day for a trip north while at Alice for a few days.
Not many muggles around today and a few good quick finds.
Today's main mission was to tackle the NOAS series and a few other nearby caches.
Thanks for the cache and the series Alicecaching, cheers from the Riverina, NSW,

We will also visite Alice Springs, Port Augusta, Adelaide, Melbourne and Canberra TFTC Merci pour la cache Greetings from Montréal Québec

Another easy one in this heat TFTC

Driven over from perth to visit Alice Springs. Day 2 of being here we decided to do the NOAS series and pick up a few puzzle caches and traditionals that were along the way. Unfortunately the first 3 caches in the NOAS series have been burnt from a bushfire and all that remains is wire hanging from the tree or marbles on the ground that were in the containers. Further along the series they have cleared the side of the road and a couple of caches were missing which we replaced and there is a few caches only just hanging on by a thread as they have cleared right up to the tree. Hope the CO doesn't mind we logged the first 3 caches as a find as we do have photos to prove we were there. Thanks to all the CO,S for placing these caches for us and others to find.

As we finish up our time in Alice Springs and start heading north to Darwin, we knew we had one more trail and some random caches we wanted to get on our way out of town. So we set off early with hopes high of achieving our biggest day of 60+ (massive we know) Glad to have a beautiful day to stop and start along the highway. Thanks to all who placed the caches along the highway, special thanks to Alicecaching for the NOAS trail.

After spending a couple of days at Gem Tree, it was time to head
on back to Alice Springs. Loving this part of the country and were
rewarded with quite a few caches along the way. Great trail.
Thanks Alicecaching

TFTC 2439# out and about finishing some caches with muggle sister and geo dogs who are not allowed into some areas to geocache how sad as this has spoiled my caching in Alice Springs have finished of this series today

Easy find

After getting a nosebleed from the high altitude location of the cache just south of here,
over 700 metres above sea level,
I caught me breath and was ready for another foray into the spikey scrublands by the highway

Can camels survive at these extreme altitudes above the tree line ??

A quick find !!

TFTC.

An early start from Alice Springs had us ready and rearing to go at 7:40 am to commence our morning of caching. N.O.A.S. 50 was our starting point and we headed south. We wanted to smash our former daily record (which had only recently been established as part of the Red Centre Experience over Easter). We knew we were in with a good chance. Just the N.O.A.S. series would have blown the numbers skywards, and yet we grabbed a few of the older caches as well. Thank you to all of the cache owners for your amazing efforts.

We spent Easter at the Red Centre Experience Event in Alice Springs then hit the road north toward Tennant Creek before turning east on our geocaching adventure to Cape York.

We found many caches along the way in the NOAS trail so rather than log each individually I have made a template which I wouldnt normally do. I do hope this is OK with the owners.

thanks for all of the caches.


Ian & Sue - Team Pathfinder uses T.P. to sign smaller logs.

Here for the Alice mega event from Perth. Out with familysteiner, K.B. and Spiderjockey. Team boys versus team girls in 2 cars. Lots of fun with this series. Tftc

A quick run up the Stuart highway this afternoon for a few caches. TFTC

Found with Our travelling convoy for the day, caching our way along the NOAS series, and collecting a few other smileys along the way. We signed the logs as EMSGPS - Earthbound, Mica, Sharkiefan, GeoTurtle, Papillon and sully. Thanks to Alice caching for the series, and the sights we saw along the way.

Geocaching has taken me on many adventures over the years all over Australia and overseas. It has also introduced me to a brilliant and diverse group of people, many of whom are now close friends.

Today I was lucky enough to be out and about so I targeted this cache.

Sorry for the late log, but thanks for adding to the adventure!


Thanks Alicecaching for placing this cache.

Out doing this trail north and out to Gemtree with Grubby Gypsy and signed as HF1 + GG. Had a good day and enjoyed the different caches.

Planned a big jaunt for the last full day of the red centre event. Out north and east of Alice. Found with Happy Feet 1. Signed GG & HF1. TFTC.

A big day for us to mark the final full day of the Red Centre Experience Event in Alice Springs. Our aim was to set out for Gemtree and pick up a couple of caches along the way but the geocaching equivalent of white line fever set in and we were not going to be satisfied until we had cleaned up the NOAS power trail as well!

This is a generic log for all of our finds today so I am going to make a recommendation in all logs to GO TO GEMTREE! THEY HAVE THE BEST MEAT PIES I HAVE EVER TASTED! Its worth the drive for the taste test!

Thankyou to all the cache owners for placing the caches we found today.

On a mission today with SpiderJockey07, Orrsome Family & K.B. to complete the NOAS series. We managed to find all 50 without any trouble, plus a few extra ones, to make this our biggest one day haul ever. Apologies for the generic log. TFTC

Cool cache.

Thanks.

Joint effort today with Team CRUDSS(contactpete, ris768, dave8153, snoopy1976 and spy79), Team Tonka and Team_Kaos. Nice quick park and grab series. TFTC.

We came up to Alice Springs To attend the Red Centre Experience Event.

Team CRuDSS had a great time camping and visiting interesting places in and around town.

Thank you Alice Springs for hosting a great event.

Greatings from New Zealand, in Alice attending the rather large event and teamed up with CJ-Curry, Hevic, zuse7, granvillle86a and dghoff. For most of the caches we found today we signed as TTSS (Trans Tasman Swiss Squad). Apologies for the mainly generic logs.

Nice quick find, TFTC

On Day Three of the epic adventure Hevic and I had throughout Alice Springs, we teamed up with a handful of other cachers to take on the Stuart Highway north of the town. We signed the majority of our logs as **TTSS** - the **Trans-Tasman Swiss Squad** comprising myself, Hevic, yorkshirekiwi83, zuse7, granville86a, and dghoffy. I'm glad to say that we did not have a single DNF and made it all the way to the end. zuse7, granville86a and I even had races to most of the caches, and I think granville came out more-or-less on top. Thanks Squad!

Thanks to Alicecaching for placing these caches - all the finds were fairly straightforward, none needed any maintenance, and all were a delight to find. Cheers!

Found it with TICE [Hiltsu, J&T, kapeka & laalaa]

We had fun with caching few weeks here in Australia ( South Australia and Northern Territory ). Lots of geocaches and many sort of them too. We saw awesome places, weather was good all the time and people were friendly and polite. Caches were pretty similar like in our home country. Of course there were some exeptions. Nice and huge country!

Greetings from Finland!

Day 3 of our Alice Adventure, and what a day it was! We joined up with yorkshirekiwi83, zuse7, granville86a, and dghoffy, signing as the TTSS

Our Spring Geocaching trip go this year to Australia...yes you read right, in Finland is spring now.
We visit in Australia (Adelaide, Murray Bridge, Port Augusta, Whyalla, Coober Pedy, Uluru, Alice Springs, Port Vincent and other place which are on the way those places) on April 05.-20.

We see many beautiful place where we visit and enjoy every cache what we found, so humble thanks every cache owner that you hiding this cache!

We (kapeka, laalaa, J&T. and Hiltsu) use common nickname Team ICE, T-ICE or TICE that we saves space in the logbook.

Thanks For To Cache!
Greetings from Finland

Found with dghoffy, Hevic, C J Curry and Zuse7, YorkshireKiwi83 as Team T.T.S.S. (Trans Tasman Swiss Squad) to save time doing all the logging. We headed north today picking up all the NOAS series and a few others. Thanks to all the cache owners for the placements.

In Alice Springs with Geo/rge attending the Red Centre Experience.
We are enjoying the sites and sounds of the Red Centre that all the caches are taking us to.

A quick find was made and the log signed.
We drove north and started at *50 NOAS* and did the NOAS caches and some other placed caches as we head south to Alice Springs.
A big thanks to all the cachers for placing and the maintaining of your caches that we found.

Team ICE on a two week geocaching trip in Australia. Our main target was the Red Centre Experience at Alice Springs but of course we did some caching in other places too. We drove from Adelaide to Alice Springs and then back. We saw lots of interesting and beutiful places like opal mines at Coober Pedy, Ayers Rock and Kata Tjuta. Our rental travelled almost 6500km on gravel and tarmac roads. The weather was great, only on last day we got some rain.

All the caches logged as Team Ice, T-ice or Tice with kapeka, laalaa and Hiltsu. We had a great trip!

We spent three days caching around Alice Springs. This is so different area than bushy flat desert around it. Lots of beautiful places to see. Truly Red Centre Experience for us.

Thanks for the cache and greetings from Finland!

A group of cachers (me, Hevic, CJ-Curry, yorkshirekiwi83, dghoffy and granville86a) who have met at the Red Center Experience at Blatherskite Park in Alice Springs started out with getting the boxes on the left hand side of the Stuart Highway only and signing the logbooks with all our six cacher names. Soon a race as to who would make the find was launched and in order to save paper in the logbook as well as time signing, we eventually came up with a team name: TTSS - Trans Tasman Swiss Squad. We also found it quite easy to cross the highway and eventually started to search for the boxes in numeric order. Most of the caches of this series will be signed TTSS. I (the Swiss part of the team) had a great time with a great bunch of people - thanks TTSS-members.
Thank you very much Alicecaching for luring us NOA and for the maintaining of the caches - they are all in good condition!
