Geocaching Australia

Ta. Just FYI I do a lot of volunteer Landcare work and we are using the Cache as an incentive to entice people to particular spots of interest that we want people to be aware of and take an interest in, and hopefully look after. This spot has an endangered native plant so in the cache I have put inf...

Thanks. Done.

Thanks, yes that is it ga8298 S 36 7.658 E 146 48.094

I see it was still in draft.

I have fixed up the spelling mistakes and tried to log it, but perhaps you better check it again.

Hi all.
I have logged my first cache that I have hidden a few days ago but it is not showing up when I do a search.
The co ords are S 36 07.658 E 146 48.094
On the edge of Wodonga Vic 3690.

Thanks for link. Logged it.
Golden wattle..thanks for the tip.
Now to see if i can repeat my first experience and find another.

Got to the correct screen but didn't seem to allow me to put in coords. I will have to down load a more extensive "manual", assuming one exists. I want that ma...

As a newbie I am sure this is the proverbial "dumb question". I went out to find my first cache but I wasn't really sure how close I was to it. Need a quick lesson in reading long/lats on my garmin gps and how far away I am from the cache. One google answer says that a Lat second is about 31 meters ...

Thanks guys.

Thanks CaW. Yeah, not "intuitive". Now I just need to find out when I would use these: H Burke and Wills? (only "Dig Tree" comes to mind. Do I bury the cache?) L Locationless? (no idea) N Night Cache (good to go to at night e.g. top of a hill to see the stars?) R Earthcache? (some environment thing?...

Hi all. Brand new to this.
On the geocache map around my vicinity they have different Letters in the teardrop pointer..Z, T, B.
What do these mean?
Is there a list of these codes on the forum?
