Geocaching Article
Heres an article that appeared in the Illawarra Mercury over the weekend. It makes reference to both the 'au' & 'com' sites which is good and for the un-initiated its a fairly informative article.

Would be interested to see this one. Have just had a look on the Mercury website, but could find no reference to the article. Even if you could find it there, it appears you may have to pay to view it. (Let's hear it for the Illawarra Mockery!) I'm sending a few emails out to see if I can get a copy scanned in and sent up to me. I still have a few contacts down in the 'Gong...

<P>At least the Illawarra Mercury gave the GCA website as well as the US one!
<P>The same article (with different headline and stock photo) appeared on p.27 of The Sun Herald Travel liftout on Sun 20 Feb 2005. Seems the Sun Herald was so lazy, they just lifted the article from where it originally appeared on 3 Jan 2005 on USAtoday.com (http://www.usatoday.com/travel/destinat ... hing_x.htm). No local context, stories or links.
<P>BTW, another interesting URl to watch for articles about geocaching is CachingCentral (http://www.levinecentral.com/cachingcentral_wp/).

Same article in MX
The same article - suitably dumbed down and cut to just one column - appeared in today's MX - the free newspaper they give out at city train stations in Melbourne. It was in the "Escape" section - which made it look like an international thing you have to travel to participate in.
