n my way home after a three day trip stretching from the Victorian border in the south to Nynganin the north. I have managed to collect caches in missing DZs and LGAs. There are just two more that I can find on my way. This is not one of them but an easy find as I passed through town. TFTT Geocaching Australia.

#GA1657 - 08:20; Day 31 of the Alice Mega Road Trip with Sol de lune, albida33 and fitzy_1965, our last! Today was the run home from Parkes to Canberra. Sdl and I were headed home from Parkes via Forbes, Grenfell, Young, Boorowa and Yass, while a33 and f65 planned a more direct route via Cowra. This was the first stop for the morning after we had packed up camp. TFTT Geocaching Australia Very Happy

Geocaching Australia (GCA) Cache Find Number 1483. Found during Day 21 of my epic 21 day visit to Alice Springs for the Red Centre Experience Event and further travels after that.

Flew into Alice Springs and met up with my fellow intrepid team members Sol de Lune, Albida33 and LuckyL10n for the start of an amazing trip throughout the Northern Territory, Queensland, New South Wales and eventually back to Canberra. The Red Centre Experience is the main attraction of course, but also on our agenda are a lot of GC Caches, lots of trigs, as well as plenty of GCA Trads, History and Virtual Caches (and maybe the odd beer or two ??!! Smile. Go Clan Cerberus !

Another trig for the trip. We were now heading south and east again and nearly home, and we managed to get to this trig. Photo taken. Then it was back in the car and off to the next one !

Another trig added to the dragonZone list. I really enjoy finding trigs and also the new CORS that are popping up everywhere !

South Australia 2013 with Sol de Lune. We headed off on 12/4 and arrived home on 28/4. The trip was to visit the SA series so more time could be spent at the Mega itself next year. We did a huge variety of caching around Murray Bridge, the Mid North, Yorke Peninsula and Whyalla Region. Apart from one wet night and two wet days we were able to spend heaps of time caching.

Our one and only CORS on this trip.

Thanks.

Sol de lune

In Parkes on the way home from a 2 week trip around South Australia and stopped by to grab this one. Surprised it hasn't been claimed yet.

As usual, the CORS is located on a government building os some sort and can be seen from the street. We were there on a Sunday so it was pretty quiet.
