Geocache at Yulara / Ayers Rock

Hi Straps, I've sent you a PM.
GCA is mainly a Geocaching Forum.
You need to sign up with www.geocaching.com
once you have go to "Hide and seek a cache" and type in Alice Springs in "by address" this will give you 12 caches within 6kms and 20 within 125 km radius

Hello - there are only 3 "caches" within 70km of Uluru.
Coords for the caches...

52J,777550 mE, 7197270 mN - Curtin Springs by way-finder

52J,699063 mE, 7208105 mN - Red Rock Cache by TKD kid

52J,704550 mE, 7195311 mN - Uluru by geodirect

The closest one to Uluru (ie Uluru by geodirect) is not actually a cache as such but an Earthcare virtual cache (An Earthcache is an educational form of a virtual cache. The reward for these caches is learning more about the planet on which we live - its landscapes, its geology or the minerals and fossils that are found there. Many Earthcaches are in National Parks) and you are required to answer a series of question to qualify as a "finder"

To register this Earthcache you must walk AROUND Uluru and optionally UP Uluru and collect the answers to the following eight questions. You should heed all precautions for this journey and allow 3-4 hours in the winter and more in the summer.

Question 1 S25 20.564 E131 01.479 The camel is sometimes referred to as the ship of the desert. What feature here could mistakenly suggest you are near the sea?
Question 2 S25 20 29.3 E131 01 28.4 A feature here is interpreted to be the result of topOgraphic weathering. It is best seen from a few hundred metres west. Why and what is it?
Question 3 S25 20.346 E131 02.709 What do you see up in the rock face?
Question 4 S25 20.435 E131 02.807 The attitude of Uluru is such that you are standing on something thought to be almost the oldest of its kind in this area. What is it?
Question 5 S25 20.932 E131 03.080 What are laying south of the footpath here and how did they get there?
Question 6 S25 21.182 E131 02.004 The spiritual siginificance of many of the features of Uluru seem related to geological and topographic features and are said to date back tens of thousand years. Since the landform features are fundamentally unchanged this indicates the erosional processes are quite slow. What feature here indicates the presence of man?
Question 7 (optional) S25 20.740 E131 01.518 This is the Start and the Ending of what? ( Note: Two types of white markings are found on the rock around here. The natural markings are believed to be formed by recent lightening strikes. Be aware.)
Question 8 (optional) S25 20.692 E131 01.950 The Peak. What is the significance of the phrase “Tear along the dotted line?”

Have fun

Cheers
Greg

Sorry - forgot to mention the coords I have given you for the actual cache locations are UTM using GDA94 datum (~WGS84). The datum of the Lat/Long coords for the earthcare questions is WGS84.

Cheers
