We timed it for high noon and made the most of the few minutes that the sun lit up as much as possible.

Today we visited the beautiful Standley Chasm and it took us some time to watch at all the beautiful nature.Thanks for this EarthCache and greetings from Germany.
 
18-Aug-23
We came here on the Larapinta trail from Jay Creek. Somehow we missed the right path at Angkale junction and so we ended up in the north end of the chasm thinking this was the way to go. With a lot of teamwork we climbed and hiked through the whole chasm despite having heavy backpacks with us. It took us some time, but we made it with dry socks.

Thanks for coming up with this great cache at this fantastic location. I learned a lot!

Travelling with iluvtrekking from Perth to Darwin along the west coast and back through the Centre and the Nullabor picking up caches along our route. We visited this chasm a few years ago so today was a revisit to collect the required info. We met an amazing indigenous elder who imparted the story of the chasm to us. Thanks for enticing us back.

Travelling with richlink from Perth to Darwin along the west coast and back home through the centre and the Nullarbor, and of course picking up caches along our route. This is truly a magnificent location. Thanks for the EC which encouraged our second visit.

As we travelled from Alice Springs to Ormiston Gorge we found some geocaches. This was our fourth one in the West MacDonnell Ranges. That chasm/gap looks amazing and in the morning light makes it even more beautiful. Thanks for setting up this one and as always TFTC, MumDad2000

Even with hindsight we reckon Jay Creek to Standley Chasm was the hardest section of the trail. We were far too exhausted to grab this one on the trudge into camp but the next morning we made time to head up to the chasm proper. The food drop and associated goodies could have played a big role in keeping our spirits up! Another truly magnificent spot in this incredible part of the world.

We decided to come and stay here for the night. The Chasm is quite interesting we spent a bit of time up there to see what difference the sun made.
Thanks for putting this earth cache together

We visited it at noon - very beautiful

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 via Coober Pedy to Alice Springs. We hiked around the impressive Uluru and through the beautiful Kata Tjuta and breathtaking Kings Canyon. The gorges of the Macdonell-Ranges are nice to. Than we traveled north.

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 über Coober Pedy bis nach Alice Springs. Wir wanderten um den eindrucksvollen Uluru, durch die wunderschönen Kata Tjuta und den atemberaubenden Kings Canyon. Auch die Schluchten der Macdonell-Ranges sind sehr schön. Weiter gings Richtung Norden.

**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 TeamThommo 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.

We arrived on a rainy afternoon to visit Standley Chasm. The power was out, but we were undeterred and headed down the trail. Pleasant walk and it was overcast, so no sun peeking into the chasm for us. It has been raining and the vegetation was lush, and water was flowing while we walked into the chasm. Arrived in the chasm and made my rough estimates. Later converted them to meters and messaged them to TeamThommo to earn this Earthcache. The trail was eventually blocked by water for us, but we had planned to turn around and walk back the way we came, so no disappointment for us. We enjoyed the visit and this EC, so thanks and a favorite point awarded.

Day 4 of our E2W Larapinta Trail hike, and this was one location we were looking forward to seeing for multiple reasons. As well as looking upon this fantastic geological structure, we were treated to showers, kiosk and lush camping grounds for the first time on our trip. I wandered in off the trail and managed to grab a couple of pics before a bus load of people arrived, but once they left, I enjoyed the serenity of the place before wandering over to the camp ground. Fantastic spot!

Gratias TeamThommo

At 7:45am a group of student and teachers began their long journey from Melbourne to Alice Springs. The trip took close to 34 hours including stops and a detour to Adelaide airport to swap drivers. Once they finally arrived all were exited for the next days to come.

The next day we visited the desert park and got costumes for dinner the following day. The following day was much more busy. We went to Standly chasm, Ormiston Gorge and Simpsons Gap and I attempted 3 earth caches.

Thanks so much for all the effort you have put into this cache and more telling me more about this amazing area!

Veni. Vidi. Vici. Scripsi.
Staying in alice Springs for a few days and today was the day for a visit to the West Macdonnell Ranges. Standley Chasm was next on the agenda. Was surprised that you had to pay to enter. When we last visited 25 years ago with the kids, we just parked and wandered up the pathway. Today we were having to dodge workers taking wheelbarrows full of dolomite for the pathways amongst the many many visitors. We helped stomp the dolomite down. Finally arrived at the Chasm and it was still as spectacular as I remembered. Wandered around and made some observations. Took some photos for the kids to test their memories. Made some notes. Sent the answers.

We visited Standley Chasm while doing Larapinta. Amazing spot to walk into from the trail but a bit tough coming up over the ridge. Great colour in the rock and a lovely place to camp at the nearby campsite and grab a lovely burger!

Full time nomads since 2013. Still tootling around the country trying to avoid Covid hotspots.

Retracing our steps of the past few months. Why? Because we cant get to SA any other way than through NT.

Standley Chasm is an amazing place and a very successful tourist destination. I am averse to paying to see this type of feature but this was well worth the money. We really enjoyed the walk into the chasm with all the native plants and the blue cycads. We also had an excellent lunch at the kiosk.

Three weeks on the road for a family holiday to Alice Springs, Ayers Rock and Kings Canyon amongst other cool destinations had us traveling all over the place. We had a great time and the weather was extremely hot with bushfires that actually prevented us from going to some destinations.
Today we spent the day exploring Stanley Chasm and Ellery Creek Big Hole. A nice warm day today, and perfect for exploring the Stanley Chasm in the morning and heading to Ellery for a nice refreshing swim in the afternoon.
Thanks for the Earthcache.

Dr Owl is in town for a few days which means I had a go at playing tour guide and a chance to see things in a different light.

After a beautiful breakfast nearby it was time to wander into the Chasm. There was a lot of ohing and ahing along the way. At one spot we watched a lizard jump from a perch and catch flying insects, amazing! Once at the Chasm measurements were taken, finer points were discussed and photo's taken.

Thanks for bringing us here TeamThommo.

Owl and Eagle are in Alice Springs on a train expedition, so collected the temporarily-resident Sushilord and headed west... then east... then south. Fun was had, along with some spectacular scenery and out-of-the-way adventures. Last time Owl was here the road to the Chasm had been washed away by flooding, so it was nice to finally get here.

On a short day trip west of Alice Springs. First we stopped at Simpsons Gap and then Standley Chasm. We enjoyed the walk in, amazed at the formations and the fauna. Once in the Chasm (or is that valley, canyon, gorge, ravine or gap) we stood and waiting for the sun to do its thing. Fortunately there was a very cool breeze blowing through and given the times only a few others to share the experience. And hardly a fly.

Requested info sent to CO.

Thanks for setting up this earth cache to make us all think a bit.

Translated with google:

Australia. A beautiful country with a completely different landscape than ours in Germany. The trip was unfortunately too short and we could not see everything we would have liked to see for a long time.

Gorges have always fascinated me, which is why I like to visit canyons. Here we took a short hike through the gorge, which was not so beautiful at first, but was then very impressive and overwhelming. I've never seen anything like it. The madness! A Wallabie also ran into us, which rounded off the walk wonderfully.

After the answers have been sent to the owner, another one laughs with this online log Smile on my geocaching card. Thank you for placing the nice cache and showing the great place.

Deutsch:

Australien. Ein wunderschönes Land mit einer ganz anderen Landschaft, als bei uns in Deutschland. Die Reise war leider viel zu kurz und wir konnten lange nicht alles sehen, was wir gerne gesehen hätten.

Schluchten haben mich schon immer sehr fasziniert, weshalb ich auch gerne Schluchten besuche. Hier machten wir eine kleine Wanderung durch die anfangs nicht so schöne, dann aber doch sehr seeindruckende und überwältigende Schlucht. So was habe ich noch nie gesehen. Der Wahnsinn! Ein Wallabie km uns auch über den Weg gelaufen, was den Spaziergang noch wunderbar abrundete.

Nachdem die Antworten an den Owner geschickt wurden, lacht mit diesem Online-Log ein weiterer Smile auf meiner Geocaching-Karte. Vielen Dank für das Legen des schönen Cache und das Zeigen des tollen Ortes.

22 days vacation in Australia, a big round trip around the red continent. Adelaide & Kangaroo Island, Darwin & Kakadu National Park & Yellow Waters, Alice Springs & Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park, Port Douglas & Rainforest & Great Barrier Reef, Hamilton Island, Blue Mountains, Sydney - what a trip! It's been great, it's been exhausting, it's given us so many impressions of this country that we'll need another few weeks to process all of these.
Of course there were also a lot of geocaches along our track and we tried to find them whenever they were (more or less Wink) on our path. Due to the amount of places, impressions and geocaches I'm unfortunately able to write a detailled log for each of them, but we appreciated every single one of them.
Thanks TeamThommo for placing and maintaining this cache!

It was sad to see that some of the trees had been affected by fire. My friends told me stories about how it was pre fire, on the walk in here. Next up, they taught me how to listen to the water using tree trunks! Eventually we made our way to the cache spot, avoiding any poo in our way! Thanks for placing the cache TeamThommo.

During our great roadtrip through Australia we spent a great day out in the West MacDonnell Range and found a lot of caches. This was one of them.

Watch out for the small things! When we estimated the size of the gorge, we found a beautiful dotted grasshopper on its ground, which remembered us to Aboriginal artworks.

Neuseeland und Australien im Frühling, der anscheinend besten Reisezeit
ein langgehegter Traum von ufridolin-Mann welcher nun in Erfüllung ging
mit dicht gedrängtem, aber sehr informativem Reiseprogramm ausgestattet
beginnend mit dem Flug von Zürich nach Singapur (wo natürlich auch gleich der Cache im Schmetterlingsgarten geholt werden musste)
Weiterflug nach Auckland, welches wir nach 25-stündiger Anreise wohlbehalten erreichten
dann wurde die Nord- und die Südinsel Neuseelands mit all ihren Facetten besucht
von Sonnenschein bis und mit Schneefall war alles dabei
nun weiter nach Australien
beginnend mit Sydney besuchten wir eine Stadt nach der anderen
besonders beeindruckend fanden wir die Regenwälder und dann als Kontrast die Korallenriffe
Koalas, vielfarbige Papageien und logischerweise auch Kängurus gehörten zum Programm
natürlich war auch der Uluru ein absolutes Muss
ein sehr beeindruckendes Land welches wir mit dem Fugzeug, dem Bus, der Eisenbahn, einer Seilbahn, sowie mit dem Schiff erkundeten
vielen Dank an alle Owner für die Aufgaben und für's Hegen und Pflegen

Fantastic after hiking in from over the top via Jay Creek. Cool mornings and hot afternoons plays with the thermoregulation when rocks absorb so much heat. TFTC

Visiting from the US and traveling with a group which makes grabbing caches a challenge at times. Happily I was able to send answers for this one.

Beautiful spot and seen at noon, the perfect time! Thanks to cache owner for the work involved preparing all the information.

Spending a few days in the East and West McDonell Ranges as part of my 6 week trip up here.
The last time I was up here it was 1977, 6 of us pilled in to the Ford sedan towing a trailer camping on a family holiday.
The roads are a lot better now then what I remember of them.
It is great to come back here and the memories keep flooding back as I visit along here.
A nice walk in and of course some more photos.
Thanks Team Thomson TFTEC.

This cache was found on our trip from Adelaide to Alice Springs. The entry fee was $12 each and we thought it was a lot at the time. After entering the park, we joined the local guide, Kevin, who told us a lot about the native flora and the history of the area. The Chasm was spectalular, as was the walk into it. We thought it was well worth it and thorough enjoyed the day. We recommend the walk to the lookout too - it was amazing.

On our way through Australia Clematius and I visited a lot of very interesting places. We spent quite some time on Earthcaches but we found some traditional caches, too. Thanks to all owners for showing unique places and for teaching interesting lessons. Smile
