Any train buffs thinking of coming over to Australia for the event in Alice Springs, Easter 2017

Red Centre Experience, https://www.geocaching.com/geocache/GC6825Z_red-centre-experience?guid=e5df7476-565d-413f-9400-0db9c34a15bc which will gain Mega status, will be held in the centre of Australia, at Alice Springs, Northern Territory, over Easter 2017.

 

If your a train buff, this is an ideal opportunity to travel on one of Australia's, and the worlds, iconic train journeys, The Ghan. Travel either from Darwin, or Adelaide, the 2 end destinations, approx. 1500km to Alice Springs, right through the red heart of our great nation. First class accommodation, and food, its a great experience. My wife and I have experienced The Ghan, and its a fantastic trip. Google is your friend.

 

Accommodation around town is easily available, and your not that far from places like Ayres Rock (Uluru). But if you want to experience camping amongst a huge bunch of friendly Aussies, then as at Oz Mega 2014, Murray Bridge, there are plenty of generous Aussies who will share, or loan, camping gear for you to use. All you have to do is ask. Either on the cache page, or over at the Geocaching Australia page, www.geocaching.com.au We did this at Murray Bridge, and hosted a cacher from Canada at our campsite, who was uncertain about heading over due to having no accommodation. That was easily fixed.

 

Please don't let the thought of not having any camping gear put you off. Have you ever wanted to come to Australia? Ever wanted to see those places in our beautiful country you have only ever seen in pictures? Want another country on your list of places you have cached? Come on over and enjoy the trip.

 

Cheers
