Merci Darth Briji pour la cache et la balade.Kapi Mutitjulu Waterhole - EarthCache : Cotation D1.5/T1.0 - Taille AutreCache #20189 trouve le 29 novembre 2024
Answers sent to CO.On our segway tour at Uluru we stopped to view the Kapi Mutitjulu waterhole and loved listening to the ancient creation story involved. Unfortunately some sections were closed due to vandalism. Thank you for this earth cache in a truly magnificent place. Pict: Hubby on the segway.
Today we did the Uluru Base Walk. The ALC of Mala Walk, the VC and the two ECs were integrated in this Walk. The deviation of 400 Meters for this one was worth it. What a beautiful Spot. Thanks for hiding this EC here.TFTCmagicchicken
Yesterday, my girlfriend and I visited the waterhole, and we're excited to solve this Earthcache. Its truly an impressive spot on Earth! We had a great time visiting and admiring this place, and we hope our answers are correct. Maybe well have the chance to visit this beautiful location again someday. Greetings from the two Thuringians!
Out with a group on a tour stopped at this spot. Thank for the education and walk to this beautiful spot.
Fantastic 3 days in Uluru national park. Visited the waterwhole yesterday evening and found 20 local aborigines kids and 2 dogs swimming in the small lake . TFTC
Very beautiful water hole at the end of also very beautiful walk. Weather was around 40 degrees Celsius, which is certainly too much for us Finns. Answered together with zirinna. TFTC!
I was a participant of an Austrian travel group. We travelled from Darwin to Melbourne by bus. We walked around Uluru as a highlight of our journey. And so I came to this spot too. I have sent answers to the owner. Photo is attached. And I leave a FP.
Logging some caches I forgot to log in Australia. After the walk around Uluru, we went to the Kapi Mutitjulu waterhole. Another beautiful sight that's important to the aboriginal people. What a shame that it is not usable anymore due to human activity!
Drove around Uluru a couple days ago, hiked yesterday, and did the Mala Walk and Base Walk today. The walls of the Gorge are imposing and remarkable. Came to the waterhole and found the (?) answers and sat in quiet contemplation for a few minutes before a tour group arrived. I didnt get a good picture of the water, but I captured a bird (finch?) under the walkway.TFTEC
A very enjoyable early morning bike ride around Uluru. A very peaceful lo action and we're surprised to spot a cormorant on the far side of the water just before decided to move just out of sight. Thanks for placing and answers sent as requested.
This was definitely one of my favourite parts of the walk around Uluru. Lush, green, just beautiful. A cormorant was sunning itself on the edge of the waterhole. I did not think I'd find one of those so far from the coast! We sat and pondered the answers while listening to the birds. A special place indeed. Tftc
Today we visited this beautifull spot for the second time and we enjoyed it.Team Mavos- Albert and Maria
Was fr ein magischer Ort! Wir hatten Glck und wir waren allein hier. So schn Vielen Dank fr den Hinweis sich hier noch etwas um zu sehen Liebe Gre aus Nrnberg
On effectue le tour complet d'Uluru pied, il y a des endroits incontournables comme celui ci que je favorise.
Greetings from Wales. We continue our Australia adventure in the red centre with a day trip to Uluru and a walk all around this stunning place. After a long and hot walk it was lovely to hit the shade of this secluded valley. The location is amazing and we could actually make out the features relating to the snake woman legend. Answers from the earth cache sent to the CO so I hope they are OK. Thanks for bringing me here.
Together with Schatoh68 I made a wonderful trip, discovering Australia. Nice place, thank you for this cache, that we found in such a nice spot of this stunning nature.
Together with Birba68 we spent some really nice days near Uluru and visited in the moorning the with the First Sun this wonderful place. The answers will come soon Thank you
Brad and Janet are on an epic 6 week trip aiming to travel along the Canning Stock Route, the longest stock route in the world. 51 wells and crossing 4 deserts. We are traveling with a group of 11 vehicles on a tour led by Ron and Trent Moon. We have the geomobile towing the mini-geohouse on wheels. We have a couple of caches to put out if we find a good spot. We will grab what we can as we pass. We have finished the CSR part of the trip and are now headed home via Meekatharra, Sandstone, Leinster, Leonora, Laverton and the Great Central Road and Surveyor Generals Corner then across to the Stuart Highway. We started the Outback Way geocache trail in 2013. Slowly adding as we revisit from time to time. Hopefully we can add some more. Revisiting Uluru is always good. Answers collected and sent. Photo attached showing Brad and his bicycle during his ride around the base of Uluru. Other photos of Uluru showing changing colours added as well. Beautiful place as always. TFTEC 
I can't form words for how awe-inspired I am from the behemoth sight of Uluru. Thank you for placing this EarthCache. I thank the Anangu people for sharing their home, their culture, and traditions. What a life-changing experience.
Was actually here just under a week ago and it was 28C - the next day hiked Kata Tjuta and got caught in a huge downpour with waterfalls running down - wouldve preferred circumnavigating Uluru instead during the downpour and seeing waterfalls off it instead. Answers sent via message. TFTC in this sacred place.
Back to this magnificent land after some 20 years we did the base walk today. Brilliant weather, bright skies, just a bit chilly, very few people and a truely magical experience.What a wonderful day it was. Thank you for placing the Earthcache!Greetings from Germany
We visited Uluru today, and it was really great. We took lots of photos and learned a lot about Uluru.Thanks for this Earthcache.Kind regards.schuhlstroo
We visited this gorgeous site while on a Desert Awakenings tour. The story behind the markings in the rock was awe inspiring- dont mess with women! Tftc
Freddo sent Sallymander to Uluru and told her to find an earthcache. Earthscience answers submitted to the cache owner for approval. Amazing location. Thanks for the wonderful geology lesson.I will apologize right now, because everything from here on is here solely for the purpose of padding the word count and winning that one hundred word diamond badge again. Somebody moved the goal posts. So many caches to find. So many caches to log. We find them, sign them and replace them.This particular geocache was found using one of the following GPS enabled devices, Garmin GPSr, Montana 680t, Oregon 650 or Dakota 20 and an Apple iPhone 11 using the marvelous Cachly app. Waypoints and paperless geocaching were downloaded via GSAK 9. Log prepared, checked and submitted using GSAK publish logs macro.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. Apologies for the generic part of the cache log. We do apologise for the generic logs. Thanks to all the cache owner for placing this cache here for our enjoyment.Thanks for the cache. Merci la cache. Danke fr den Cache. Gracias por el cach.

2449 - After arriving at Yulara yesterday evening and setting up the four wheel drive with tent as my base for the next two days, I made the necessary arrangements to get the National Park Pass and a Tour Bus drop off and pick up organised. They dropped me off at the Mala car park and after checking out the Mala walk and Kantju Gorge, I headed off to the coordinates to be able to claim this Earth cache. What an amazing place! I grabbed many photos of the Rock as I circumnavigated Uluru in an anti-clockwise direction. I grabbed the information I needed here at 2:28pm and I was on my way to complete the hike. Thanks for placing the cache here Team Ferreira - a place truly deserving of an Earth cache and a favourite point.
Explored Uluru with my family and fiance on my visit from the United States. I'm heading back to Melbourne today, but I had a wonderful time out here in Yulara. Met some wonderful and friendly people and had a blast exploring this vastly different land and experiencing cultures.We spent a day exploring Ayers Rock and spent a second day exploring Kata Tjuta. Experienced different foods and the field of lights. Visited the cultural center and learned about the Anangu people. It was a blast. Thanks for the wonder-filled experiences.
Thank you for a fantastic earth-cache. Really enjoyed what I learned here. Hope the answers are right. Greetings from the cold North
TFTC. This was a lovely spot once the hoards had gone. It was so quiet and peaceful.
Surprising to find such a large body of water and lush vegetation at the base of Uluru. I enjoyed seeing it and learning a bit more about how it may have come about. Thanks for the EarthCache and greetings from San Francisco, California!
A nice place to visit.The tourguide told the beautiful story of the fight of the two snakes.TFTC
Thank you for the Earth cache! Enjoyed the visit to this lovely spot while doing the base walk loop.
I am visiting Australia from Canada and today I am visiting Uluru. I was on a tour for this one and learned so much about the local stories. I was most surprised to see water in the water hole and a small amount trickling into it. Fav for the sites and location. Thanks for the smile.
Thanks for bringing us to this spot. We took a Segway around thw base this morning then walked to this spot.
Today the G did a guided tour to Kta Tjuta and the Uluru.

Velk cesta do Ocenie - den 23 - Nrodn park Uluru - Kata Tjuta, Northern Territory (80 km)Po vydatn hotelov prav anglick sndani s peenmi fazolemi, ampiony, rajaty, slaninou a vejci jsem konen vyrazila objevovat krsy nejslavnjho utru Austrlie - Uluru alias Ayers Rock. A je to tedy megautr. Po verej bouce nebylo takov horko a i zem je stle vlhk, dokonce msty stly kalue pes cel chodnky. Cel dopoledne jsem strvila u toho kamene, kter v prbhu dne mn barvu podle slunce. Ale je takov erven se zvltn strukturou jakoby odlupujcch se velkch upin. A fotogenick je a bda. Naprskala jsem tu pes 100 fotek, a to je v nkterch secch focen s ohledem na posvtnost zakzno. Autem jsem utr objela cel a vtinu nejzajmavjch st i obela pky po znaench stezkch. Kopec se vlastn pod mn, je velmi lenit a kadm krokem zskv jin pohled na jin zkout. U nkolik let se nesm lzt nahoru a to zejmna kvli respektu k posvtnosti msta pro domorod Aborigince, ale taky protoe je cesta nahoru dsn krpl a ve zdejch a padestistupovch vedrech tam musela furt ltat zchranka pro kolabujc bembelny, co tam lezli. J bych tam nela, ani kdyby se mohlo. pln mi staily vychzky dole na pat kopce. Co 100 m to vypocen litr, tak mus pod pt. Ale slunce bylo milosrdn pekryto oblky, tak nepailo tak stran. Stejn jsem kolem poledne zaadila zpteku a jela se ochladit na hotel. A taky bylo nutn vyprat. Hromada pinavho prdla u zabrala nkolik taek, tak jsem hned narvala ve do praky a v klidu si la bucnout. A stihla jsem to v prav as. Pozdji se do prdelny ourala s takama spousta dalch host a vtinou jen smutn koukali na otejc se pln bubny. J stihla ve vyprat i vysuit, tak mohu smle pokraovat v cest ist. Po splnn povinnost jedu na druh kolo obhldky kopce zase v jinm ase a taky svtle. Je zde i nvtvnick centrum a veden NP a taky mi zbv vychzka na duny a pohled na horu pi zpadu slunce. No prost utr je program na cel den a stoj za to. Vbec se nedivm, e je pro mstn posvtn stejn jako ostatn hory v okol. Kdy m uprosted placky na 1500 km 3 kopce a 1 kaon, tak je bude uctvat taky. M u z t kovinat roviny po cest taky mlem jeblo. Zajmav je, e 3 blzk kopce Uluru, Kata Tjuta a Attila vznikly v podstat ve stejn dob, ale kad je geologicky pln odlin. To m samozejm vzdlaly earth keky, jinak bych to netuila. Tak konm a jedu zpt k utrku podn si ho ut.Todays main goal was visiting of National park Uluru - Kata Tjuta and I spend whole day by Ayers rock. It is amazing stone ! And so photogenic. I walked around on Mala walk and Kuniya walk and some other stops on the road. At noon I was back on the hotel for rest and continued with walking in late afternoon. Wonderful place. Thanks for the cache and greetings from Czech republic. The answers were send.
#6.001We had a great walk along the Uluru in the early morning hours coming to this great place further down at the end of our walk. Thanks for bringing us here and letting us look at the holes in the walls as well for finding this special sign.The answers were send to the owner before logging this cache.TFTC says team mastba from Hamburg/Germany
Visited early morning after trying for the sunrise with didn't happen has expected with too much cloud cover, but after a rainstorm later in the day, we returned to see the waterfalls. TFTEC.
On a 10-days tourist trip in Australia. We came to Uluru to watch the sunset. Before sunset we got to know the life of the aborigines and visited some places. Thanks for the cache. Greetings from Finland.
This was definitely one of my favourite places to visit while in the area to celebrate our 26th wedding anniversary. Fortunately, we were able to sit in the quiet at this amazing place. Also on our way back to the car park we met with some Aboriginal artists, of which we purchased two beautiful pieces. Thanks for the Earth Cache.
The snuggle muggle and I got some great deals on cheap flights, so over the Melbourne Cup weekend we decided to leave Victoria and head for the **NT**!After seeing a somewhat hazy sunrise, we started our base walk and headed over to this Earthcache. It got warm on our walk quick with a high of 37C today. Luckily, there was a bit of shade as we were exploring the waterhole and so we were able to sneak out of the sun to grab this Earthcache.This wasn't my first time to Uluru, but I wasn't really geocaching on my last trip and so this made the visit extra fun!I always love Earthcaches as they usually take me to beautiful locations and teach me some fascinating things, but this one completely out did the usual Earthcaches I find.Not only was the location one of the most beautiful I have been too, but it was interesting reading up about the Mutitjulu waterhole and how it was formed.A huge thanks goes to [Darth Briji](https://www.geocaching.com/p/?guid=804e94c7-7393-404e-a7b1-6994df79fbb5&wid=8fc3084c-b543-4fb9-a376-f63f240949f8&ds=2) for this fascinating and beautiful, Earthcache! TFTC
Thanks for creating this cache and adding information regarding the area. Such an amazing rock formation to get up close to. Photos do not do this area justice.
We had walked the base walk from Mala car park so we were nearing the end of our bucket list walk. We throughly enjoyed the walk around, very atmospheric. The shape we saw seems totally appropriate . Answers sent to ECO

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 Darth Briji, thanks for bringing us here and give our trip a special accent.

Very very very very very welcomed respite from the afternoon sun. Shade is good .Shade is good .Cheers
Found by The Empire + HWalking close to Uluru is an awe-inspiring experience that allows you to truly appreciate the magnitude and beauty of this iconic natural wonder. As you approach this colossal sandstone monolith, you become acutely aware of its presence, both in its sheer scale and the intricate details etched into its surface.The path leading you closer to Uluru takes you through the arid, rust-colored desert landscape that surrounds the monolith. The earth is still beneath your feet, and the only sounds are the whispers of the wind and the occasional call of desert birds. It's a serene and humbling atmosphere that envelopes you, intensifying the anticipation of what lies ahead.The closer you get, the more you can see the intricate patterns and textures of Uluru's surface. There are caves and crevices, small alcoves that have been shaped by millennia of wind and water. These formations tell a geological story that stretches back eons, and you can't help but marvel at the forces of nature that have sculpted this monolith.The color of Uluru becomes even more vivid as you approach. In the changing light, it appears to shift from deep reds to softer oranges, creating a dynamic visual display. The rock's sheer vertical walls rise majestically, inviting you to reach out and touch the cool, ancient sandstone.Walking around Uluru, you can't help but be conscious of its cultural significance to the Indigenous Anangu people. The site is adorned with ancient rock art, and as you explore, you gain a deeper understanding of the stories and traditions that have been passed down through generations. Thanks for the earthcache Darth Briji, favourite point added.- MEarthcache #408

Wow. I picked the right day to come here. The waterfall was thundering (a trickle the following day) and I joined a big huddle of people on the viewing platform to admire it. A very interesting EarthCache - thanks for that - which brought me to a fascinating spot at exactly the right time. Nice! Answers coming via Messenger. TFTEC!
