Create a GPX file.
You can create one for Geocaching Australia caches by creating a new query and filtering the results.

Once you have the GPX file, select the file and COPY it.
Plug your device into your computer with the USB cable.
Once the computer detects your GPS, open the following directory on your GPS Garmin\GPX
PASTE the GPX file into this directory.
Disconnect your GPS.
Start it up and the GPX file is now ready for your use.
