Alice trip 2017. Day 23. Today Sol de Lune, Luckyl10n, Fitzy_1965 and I continued east from Barkley Homestead as far as Mount Isa. Not much to see but we managed a few more of the trigs out this way today.

Thanks

#GA1586 - 15:50; Day 25 of the Alice Mega Road Trip with Sol de lune, albida33 and fitzy_1965. After our final night in the NT at Barkly Homestead we were now heading east and had crossed the Queensland border headed and reached our next stop over in Mt Isa. This was our last trig stop for the day, although we did collect a few more caches before calling it a day. TFTT Geocaching Australia Very HappyClan Cerberus

Geocaching Australia (GCA) Cache Find Number 1454. Found during Day 15 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 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 !

TFTC !!

I found this Trig while looking for a CORS for the summer scavenger series. I later found a CORS in the middle of Mount ISA

Another 'real' looking trig Laughing, surrounded by very beautiful mauve flowers. I would like them in my garden.

A poor photo late in the day. The weird blob on the right of the trig is mr beetle's hand holding the GPS. Guess this one is a silhouette. Thanks.
