Geocaching Australia

Thinking about it I would rather find a good nano ("if there is such a thing, you say") in any spot (that wouldn't get me arrested) than a crappy Chinese food container cache barely concealed by a piece of bark by an obvious tree in an uninspiring piece of degraded bush... any day. Emphasis needs t...

What other aternatives are there? 1. Replace the log and sign it. 2. Post a needs maintenance log, wait for the owner to replace it, then come back and sign it. Come back for a nano that you have already found - not this little black duck. :-" I go to places for the location. \:D/ Only a few nanos ...

For example, caches perceived to be posted for religious, political, charitable or social agendas are not permitted. Geocaching is supposed to be a light, fun activity, not a platform for an age...

I thought that related to solicitation of money and or advertising of commercial stuff?

Seems to be a strict application - I had issues when trying to link to a Government site.

Better late than never on my part. :oops: Happy Anniversary and may all your caches be found and your puzzles be solved. \:D/ I have nowbeen caching for almost 41/2 years. Caching has given me a new adventure in almost every place I have visited. \:D/ I had the pleasure of combining both activities ...

There are a few points raised from this discussion so far, and I won't individually quote each one. I was also interested to see C@W's stats on finds between two close by caches listed on the 2 sites. I suspect the stats would be very similar to a GC trad vs a GC easy multi nearby. Both my Sydney m...

My little girl turned 21 during the week and tomorrow is the big family bash to celebrate the occasion.

I could hardly consider leaving home for some place called Wagga under these circumstances.

They can not prevent a virtual - full stop!! And, why should they!! A Virtual is not caching,. it is information gatherinng at worst. I draw the line personally, and it is at virtuals. No matter what happens anywhere (in any state) geocaching can continue in a meaningfull way via the means of a vir...

Same applies to Queensland where the QPWS effectively prevent any form of geocaching (including virtual). :-k How do you ban a virtual? Do they stop all tourists from visiting these areas? Sorry folks, no pictures allowed of the Story Bridge... :? Valid point but QPWS are regarding geocaching as an...

I was visiting a equipment hire place a week or two back to hire a trailer, and I noticed they have some excellent equipment for sowing grass seeds. Basically a giant hopper with a rotating mechanism underneath to throw the seeds some distance. Now I'm sure with a bit of ingenuity, this could be ad...

Queensland legislation seems to work on the basis of making different classes of protected areas and then providing to enable certain activities in these areas under regulations (including, building power lines and mining) and providing for permits to be granted for other activities (eg Eco_tourism(...

Just to refresh the situation for those new to the issues the Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service has contacted Groundspeak and advised the Australian reviewer that geocaching is not permitted in National Parks. :cry: GC will not approve caches on known Qld National Parks areas. =; It is not clear...

Thanks to those of you who responded to the opportunity to vote and at the same time demonstrate a genuine interest in the future for GCA. :D I hope that everyone takes the time to review some of the great initiatives which are being promoted by our site developers and I encourage you to review the ...

After some time pondering over the Senate nomination process I have decided to throw my hat in the ring and nominate for Queensland. ruzzelz has been caching now for a little more than 4 years. In that time I have cached in 4 Australian States and overseas. GCA has certainly been the foremost site o...
