..and it's a big one this time, not the ordinary old local paper gig.

Lots of good local references. Liz & Bruce (of course), a reference to Jen's Glow in the Dark cache in Ringwood, and lots of cachers spoken to.
I do love this line:
Because of demands on a phone's battery in the field, many participants have switched to hand-held GPS models with electronic compasses, colour touchscreens, and the ability to store cache co-ordinates, which allows them to search even in internet blackspots.
Love how dedicated GPS's are being described as the 'new thing' from mobile phones!
