Found 24/4/2024. I am brand new to geocaching, this is my first cache Ive found. I am not however new to the canyon, or the resort. I currently work as a bartender at the resort, and I have been here over a year now, but I first worked at the resort in 2019, with that stint coming to an end mere weeks before you placed this cache, on the 16 of September 2019. Id be curious to know which manager offered to be caretaker of the cache for you, because though 90(ish)% of 2019 staff are no longer here, there are still a few who have either stayed, or like myself returned, and it would be interesting if that manager was still here! Either way, great spot, highly recommend the ridge walk to guests of the resort and if theyre into geocaching, to try and find this little cache!

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

Found by The Empire + HAfter the physically demanding and awe-inspiring Kings Canyon Rim Walk, the idea of heading to the pub for a cold beer was like a mirage in the desert. Our legs, weary from the hike, seemed to carry us with extra determination as we made our way to the welcoming establishment.The moment we stepped inside, the cool air and lively atmosphere provided a refreshing contrast to the arid outdoors. Laughter and chatter filled the air as fellow hikers shared their own stories of conquest and marvel from the day's adventure.Taking a seat, we eagerly ordered a couple of cold, frosty beers, the condensation on the glasses testament to their refreshing chill. The first sip was like a reward for our efforts, a taste of triumph and relaxation. The beer seemed to wash away the fatigue, leaving a satisfying sense of accomplishment.A quick find here! Thanks for the cache kamla.- M@empiregeocaching

Found during three weeks away with e.gregory1 on a trip along WA's Great Central Road and a caching circuit of the WA Goldfields. We travelled North on the Stuart Highway and out to Kings Canyon to Uluru and Kata Tjuta. From there we headed in a south-westerly direction along the Great Central Road with a number of detours along the way, including Surveyor Generals Corner and Empress Spring. Then it was down to Laverton and Leonora before turning South to Menzies and Kalgoorlie. A few days were spent on a circuit back up to Lake Carey and around to Queen Victoria Spring before returning to Kalgoorlie, then out to Coolgardie, Kambalda and Norseman, before heading for home along the Eyre Highway. Thanks for the cache kamla!
 
07-Jun-23
Found on another enjoyable trip with FeatherWaite through South Australia, Northern Territory and Western Australia over 3 weeks. This time the plan was to head up to Kings Canyon, across to the WA border via Uluru and Kata-Tjuta, then down the Great Central Road, with a few side-trips along the way before eventually getting to the Goldfields and then home via Queen Victoria Springs and the Eyre Highway.

We had some mixed weather to start, with a few overnight showers, but warm temperatures and mostly sunny days.

We had been to Kings Canyon 5 years ago, but that was before this cache was published. It was good to be able to return to the area. The cache was a quick find after a short walk.

Thanks kamla for the cache.

Found with Kat33, Mumzi and TheGrunch. Greeting's from Calgary, Canada! After one day in Sydney we were in the air once more and hit up another site we had seen almost ten years ago and was the main reason we wanted to come back to the area. TheGrunch in particular really wanted to check out Uluru once more so we scheduled some time in this trip to head on over here once more. The flight went well and soon we were disembarking from the plane with a view of Uluru in the distance, kind of tough to beat that introduction here, Smile. Got settled in the hotel. We had booked the same one was we tried previously, the Desert Gardens, partially due to some of the other options being sold out, which surprised us considering we're in the middle of the summer heat (not sure it ever dropped from 35 degrees during the day time while we're here). TheGrunch had wanted to check out King's Canyon (something we hadn't done prior) and had a choice in terms of which cache to target. Stuck with the easier walk and enjoyed the creek walk where we picked up the virtual there. One advantage of this decision was that we were brought back to the resort where we had a leisurely lunch and found the traditional along one of the pathways there. Yesterday brought us to Uluru itself and we did a traditional hike from the Mutitjulu water hole to the cultural centre by way of Kantju Gorge. Today we hit up Kata Tjuta and picked up the two earth caches there by doing a couple of leisurely hikes! This cache was cache 2 of 3 and was found on 2023.03.05 at 10:42:00 AM for a total of 5129. No dnf's as well which is always awesome to say! TFTC kamla!

Found quickly

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.

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.

**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 kamla 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.

On our first long Winter holiday as new "Grey Nomads" or "Happy Wanderers" . We enjoyed our second sunset on the ranges after an awesome day hiking the Rim Walk (recommend an early start), pub lunch and topping it off with a helicopter flight and all with Muggle friends, Tania & John.
Thanks to Geocaching we wandered out here on dusk, great sunset colours and made it back to the Geo'Van without needing the headlamp.

TFTC & Cheers

We are here at Kings Canyon from Brisbane via Darwin and Uluru. We went to watch the sunset at the yellow caravan and saw that there was a geocache a few hundred metres away and had to get it. Unfortunately I didn’t have a pen with us but we took a photo of the log with a very distinctive scenery around us so I hope that suffices. Thanks for the cache.
