Re: cant log in

Hi Lord Nelson,
Give c:geo a go for an android app.
Do a forum search and you should find a thread on it.

Re: New Trig - need some advice

Arrr you sure it's a trigg?
Given it's location it could be a benchmark or control point for construction of, and subsequent monitoring of movement in, the bridge.
There's probably one on the other side too, maybe more

Re: Placing GCA Caches - is it worthwhile?

ga0728 has had 7 finds in 4 years. Not bad for a tough location. Meanwhile ga0781 has still only had 10 visits in 3 years and is an easy drive by on a scenic route and ga3088 with 8 visits in 6 months is a short walk from a popular major highway rest spot that also contains a GC micro cache that ha...

Re: Who can help us with our honeymoon planning?

If you are used to driving in cities I don't think you should have any difficulty with the type of van you are proposing. I did a google search on "campervan hire adelaide" and came up with a popular hire company http://www.britz.com.au/campervan-hire-australia and got a quote for 6 weeks, and was s...

Re: Extreme Geocaching

Extreme, as in: If you don't break your arm on every second one you're not trying hard enough. Think along the lines of ropes, harness or in some cases a scuba set? Terrain? I'd say 10.

Re: Overnight hikes with caches

Beeripmo Loop has a few caches, most are also accessable by car, although that's not a reason to not do the walk, and it is within striking distance of The Mount. Probably not as hard as implied, I did it as an overnight during daylight saving, started at 3pm, finished 3pm next day, then went hunti...

Re: Best ever Cache/Idea/Locations in Victoria

For total satisfaction The 13th Cache should be your quest.
By far the best I have done in Victoria.


And there are 12 (or more?) great caches along the way.

Enjoy.

Re: The Moving Cache Race for 2010/2011

In Bunnings yesterday, on completely unrelated business, and I noticed they have expanded their range of Gnomes.

Although Rottnest Island might be a good location :lol:
Sorry, but Fairy Penguins are pretty common on the southern coasts. We have plenty here is Sth Oz

PS: I don't think I have ever seen a Fairy Penguin "grazing" :shock:
