And I hope the winner of the "Beanie Trophy Challenge" got one with a pom-pom on it!

that was a typo on the part of the paper it was meant to be "Beni' which is the name of a local forest. He misquoted a bit as it happened but it was good to any article.

so... no.. no pom poms

Well well well, its good to see geocaching (geo-whating) getting some exposure. Pity about the 2 mugglers in the photo.

Nice work guys, hope to see all the ROG's at the 4x4 weekend.

How cools that - Yeah we were misquoted here and there but all in all I was pretty happy to be there. It was all Bens (Mix76's) idea for the story to generate more local interest. I was just tagging along more out of curiosity than anything. Initially Ben had written his own article but the paper was so interested they wanted to interview him about it.

I was thinking of asking them to do a follow up of the Trophy Challenge but have been slack and on holidays.

Great to see our website is finding its feet. Special thanks to .au for hosting us.

Ooh - can we start a 'geo-cayshing' vs 'geo-cashing' thread?

Tolmh wonders:

only if you also start a "solder" vs 'sodder" one..

I'm a cay-sher - haven't met an Aussie who isn't.

I bought my GPS when I was in the US late last year. My mum's (mom's) boyfriend (that sounds creepy), who's a military man, asked what I wanted with a handheld GPS.

"It's for geo-cay-shing."
"What's that?"
"Somebody hides a caysh, posts the coordinates on the Internet, and you go looking for it. Kinda like high-tech treasure hunting."
"What's a caysh?"
"You know - somewhere you hide stuff."
"You mean cash?"
"No, I'm pretty sure the rules don't let you put money in them."

Two countries separated by a common language

Yeh I always go for KAYsh
Looks like we are the winners.

Now of course we all know that you MUST have the toilet paper OVERhanging, that is not sneaking down the back..
