I went in to work all excited and told them. They called it NERDFEST 2012.

Re: Launching Australia's "OZ MEGA ADVENTURE"
So let me get this correct, we set up camp, get settled in and then move camp again in two days? sounds like hard work!
How many caches are there in the area roughly?
Is this event being run by RIVERINA GEOCACHING?

Re: Launching Australia's "OZ MEGA ADVENTURE"
Two adults and 2 kids coming from Sydney, we had such a blast last time around that we still regularly talk about it.
We made so many new friends and thoroughly exlpored the region last event, looks like we will get another guided tour this time again.
Don't know how you do it all for the measly rego fee (spend more than that taking the family to the movies for a couple of hours LOL) ?
I'm sure plenty of extra bucks will get pumped into the local communities.
Can't wait, WOO HOO

Re: Launching Australia's "OZ MEGA ADVENTURE"
I'm sorry, but I would like to be a voice of dissent.
I doubt I will make the effort to attend this one. For the expense of attending, I, and many others, cannot see the value in a bag drag across essentially the same area as last time. I'm not convinced by the "progressive" nature of the weekend.
Discussions off forum - which nobody else is game to mention here - are suggesting that it appears to be :

Discussions off forum - which nobody else is game to mention here - are suggesting that it appears to be :
- too much hassle for families
- too much focus on competition rather than opportunities to find listed caches
- many despise country music/boot scooting
- striking camp after one or two nights is too big an effort, especially after driving across the country, and particularly for those with small children
- very difficult for those who cannot drive in to the event, such as international visitors
- too close to the previous event to warrant the travel expenses
- and finally, little justification for the $95 entry fee.

I think the idea of this post is to signal your intent, not dissent.Cached wrote:I'm sorry, but I would like to be a voice of dissent.

Maybe any discussion or debate would be better placed in a seperate thread.

Re: Launching Australia's "OZ MEGA ADVENTURE"
Well every one may voice their opinion....... but as for "cached" I wish to differ.
I'm sure there will be plenty of caches to be had and as for the $95.00, well it is too cheep when you consider all that is involved!!
Yes having to pull up stumps after two days may be a problem for some but I'm sure it will be we worth it, and for those having trouble, there will more than enough assistance if the last Mega Event is any indication.
Those traveling from afar know what's involved and I for one am happy to provide transport, as I am sure are many others.
Let's put our support behind the committee and make this a great event as was Wagga!!!!!!!

It must be made clear that this is not being organised by the same committee as the previous one. I will start a new thread.

Re: Launching Australia's "OZ MEGA ADVENTURE"
I'm very sorry for taking the bait..... but does it matter who the committee is, these are people are willing to give of their own time so that we might enjoy a great weekend of caching.Cached wrote:It must be made clear that this is not being organised by the same committee as the previous one.

Bring it on ..... and let us all appreciate the efforts of others who want to provide us with a great Easter weekend of caching and getting together!!!!
