Quick find here. Not much plane here.Freddo and e.gregory1 were heading up the middle of Australia following Stuart's well trodden route. We were travelling in air conditoned comfort and style. No stale food. No camels to carry water. We were leaving the cold winter for the northern season.Today was the day to find this cache. Today is the sixth day of Augustus Caesar's Month in the wonderful year of twenty twenty four. We found your cache container and added some inky stuff to the paper sheet or note pad you have supplied for a log book or scroll. The cache container and log book or scroll were in good condition. It was so hot. No wind today.With the log signed and the cache replaced it was time to leave. Onwards to the next cache. Woot, that is not to far.I would like to show my respect and acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the Land, and their continuing connection to it. I wish to pay my respects to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures; and to Elders past, present and emerging.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.

TFTC,Just had a look at the map to see which caches we would do today and noticed this find didn't go through.Gathering some of NT's oldest 20 and challenge caches, visited trackables and added a favourite

Very surprised that the container has survived the burn off's. All good, stamped log and replaced. Thanks to CO
 
30-Jun-24
Didnt have a 4WD so hiked it about 200m
 
14-Jun-24
A nice older cache in here to find. Came in to see the wreck so explored a bit more. Not surprising to see a fire right through the cache area but the cache was safe and sound.
 
13-Jun-24
A caching trip from Canberra, ACT to Cape York, Qld and then around the gulf to East Arnhem Land, NT.Now with a detour to Thursday Island, Mabuiag Island, Mornington Island and finally along the Savannah Way through Hells Gate, then Nhulunbuy and Wadeye.TFTC. A nice drive and hike to this old cache. A bit of trouble turning the van around but all is good for a camp in this burnt out post apocalyptic landscape.After camp was set up took a walk up the track another 100m to find a great turn around spot, many camp sites amd beautiful grassy swamp.
 
10-Jun-24
Ocw the Bebes as we spend the day visiting Waiget Beach and stop for caches on the way. Nice easy drive to within 20m of the cache. Tftc
 
10-Jun-24
OCW PelDroedGwin and geodog Peppa Heading to Mandorah today, caching along the way.A nice detour into this bush for this one. Not quite the lavender anmo can I was expected but a lovely location nonetheless.Tftc

Travelling with richlink on a trip from Perth to Darwin and return. Today, we are riding Route34 looking for scenery, history, and caches. Thanks, GeoWombats, we made a quick find here.
 
04-Jul-23
In Darwin with iluvtrekking for a revisit after eleven years. Beautiful weather and a great day to be out caching. Headed to the Cox Peninsula to do the Route 34 series and others along the way. Thanks GeoWombats
 
We called and grabbed I think all of the ones in this area as it was a bit of a drive to get here, we got this one as we moved West now we had done with those in Wagait.

This trip was sort of in place of a trip to a Mega that got canceled due to accommodation problems, I was quite happy when Goose said do you fancy to caching break in the Northern Territory as this would be the last State or Territory for me in Australia.

Our plan was to fly into Darwin on the Friday night have a couple days in the area then start heading South stopping overnight whenever we needed to, our next goal was the drive to the geographic centre of Australia at Lambert Centre and then head back to Alice to fly home ten days later.

We both had a great trip finding some important old caches, large ones and the odd clever one too, we found Ammo Cans all over the place which was nice as i think we have found most of the ones at home in Tassie.

Thanks for the cache.

Found on 02/07/2023 at 11:43:00 thanks to GeoWombats for placing this cache for me to find.

We were excited to head out to see the plane wreck (and find the two nearby caches of course). This was the first of the two we visited. The cache hide was quite obvious from the track so we had no trouble finding it.
Thanks GeoWombats

Our Northern Territory journey began in Darwin around 3am after a very delayed flight. We drove as far north as Fresh Water Camp (northeast of Darwin), followed by a loop to Liberated Cox (out to the west) and Litchfield National Park returning to Darwin. We then headed south with overnight stops at Katherine, Daly Waters and Devils Marbles before reaching our southernmost accommodation at Erldunda. From here we did a day trip to Lamberts Gravitational Centre on onward past Finke. Our last couple of days were in Alice Springs with a side trip via Hermannsburg and Glen Helen, all up covering just under 3800km. My thanks to all the COs with hides throughout the territory for helping make our trip so enjoyable.

10-May-23
This one was in poor shape but its worth driving out to the wreck.

Out caching with Irondale today and we decided to go all the way from Darwin CBD to wagait beach. I had made a list of caches starting from berry springs which was closed for swimming unfortunately up to the wrecked plane west of wagait.
It was a successful day with all but two caches found.

This one was found ok. TFTC

07-Aug-22
Staying out at Bynoe for a few weeks we decided to venture out and discover this area, the cache was found easily enough but I fear for its safety as during the next fire or wet season its likely to be destroyed, I couldn't see anywhere else logical to put it other than the location I found it in. TFTC
 
31-Jul-22
After visiting the nearby World War II historic plane wreck, The Liberator, we decided to come cross country to this one.
Despite it being winter, it was a hot but beautiful walk.
Given this one is a small plastic container on the ground, it is likely to go missing if there is another fire here.
Thanks GeoWombats for this old find.

03-Jun-22
Found at 4:20:00 PM(t) GAFF1.
Last cache for the day and this area as well - very pretty country with lovely ferns growing from the after burn of the bush. Cache found in a very exposed spot which will probably disappear in the next burn off.
Thanks GeoWombats.
Feedback: The cache container is no longer an ammo regular - it is a "SMALL" plastic container.
 
09-May-22
We decided to stay at Wagait Beach last night with ilook4geo and continued the caching this morning as we headed off again. We found all the caches we looked for this time and were pleased to find that maintenance had been done recently on some by fellow cachers. Thanks go to GeoWombats for placing this cache. All was in good order here.

The caching hunt went on today with goignplaces2 as we headed towards Darwin. It was an interesting time with some easy finds and some finds that took quite a bit of walking to get to GZ. All logs were signed and returned to place. TFTC.

Thanks for sharing this wonderful Bush location.

The geohubby has gone south for the grandbaby's first birthday, leaving me to my own devices. The perfect opportunity to attack the cache's along the Cox Peninsula Rd. Had visited the crash site before but somehow missed this cache - happily rectified today. All in good order. TFTC GeoWombats.
 
11-Jul-17

Today Pa was incredible - chauffeuring me along Cox Peninsula Road as we continue our wandering around northern Australia after attending the Red Centre Experience in Alice Springs over Easter. I had planned on hunting for 20 caches and managed to find them all plus an extra that I really didn't think was a possibility. Some were quick DIDOs, others were absolutely mind blowing in that they took so much patience to find and others took us to the most amazing areas teaching us history that we were never taught in school.
Many thanks to all the COs who have placed any of these caches for us to find and enjoy. My name was added to the og as either Smittengranny, stamped or as SG in the small logs to save space.

Been long trip to see Wagait Beach and worth go there. Thanks heaps. TFTC

On our way to visit the old downed aircraft and noticed this one along the way. Drove up the track right to the cache location. We were a bit sceptical that the cache would still be intact, as the surrounding bush had been recently burnt. No tall grass to walk through. Found the cache easily, and it was all in good condition.

Found it!!! Out and about with my GF Kym's Adventure Smile we planned to do A big cache run today and headed out to do the Cox Peninsula Road collection including the Mandorah region. We could have had them all done but car troubles made us come up short!

Took the small car all the way to GZ with a bit of careful calculation TFTC QUICK FIND

NUMBER 9 for the day

Today's mission is to cache the Cox Peninsular Road. This is close in comparison to Darwin. BF DeFCoN_6 & I departed home @ 6:20am And are now at cache #9. It's not a competition (who am I kidding - YES it is!). Thx GeoWombats

Found GZ but as mentioned in previous logs, has been devastated by bush fires. Replaced cache (hope that is ok) as didn't want our South African friend to miss out on a smiley after the great distance she had travelled. Thanks for bringing us out here. Had known about the site for some time, but took a cache to get us here!

From SA, on holiday in NT and caching with lumpyjrb. We replaced this cache.
 
27-Jul-14
Area bunt out. Looked in the obvious places with no luck
 
22-Jul-14
Spent the day in Mandorah and Waiget Beach, had several set to find. I think the Muggles of Mandorah were against us...because...

the site near the Liberator had recently had bushfires through. We found were GZ had obviously been, and there was definitely no sign of a lavender painted ammo tin. The "obvious" was now reduced to ground level - so we did not need the hinted articles. We did, however find a green/yellow cats eye marble close by.

We've been to Darwin before, but have never headed out this way. We spent a really enjoyable day on the Cox Peninsula today, and found a variety of caches.
Didn't need the torch, but the stick came in very handy/

Coordinate Accuracy: Excellent (Around 2 metres).
Cache Condition: Container and log book are in good shape.
Took: Nothing.

# 3478. Having a lovely two week holiday in Darwin with Robmc - visiting friends, enjoying the warm weather and finding caches.

On the way to Mandorah for lunch and picking up some caches on the way there and on the way back. We are on the way to visit the Liberator when I notice this one nearby - we have to visit it as I am Libby and may never again get to visit a cache that is actually my name. A nice easy find as the ant's nest is getting smaller and smaller. TNLN TFTC.
 
10-Jun-13
Drove out to Mandorah for lunch at the pub (and a DNF! with Bettyboo3747 and some Territorian friends, collecting a few caches on the way.
I hadn't realised that I had found this cache before - I certainly didn't recognize the area, as it was all burnt out the last time I was here.
Still a very good sized cache though.
Thanks, Robmc.

Cache not so lavender anymore. Quite funny actually. Walking around GZ with the GPS, looking off in the distance all around wondering where the cache may be and how off the coords would be then and almost tripped over the cache.
