Geocaching Australia

Am I being a complete noob, or is there a special way to show GC caches also on the maps from the GCA home page? I have tried clicking on a state, doing a postcode search and anything else I can think, but the only caches that show on the map are GCA. All the FAQ says that both are available, but I ...

I would like to see some other innovative way (other than photo or Q&A) for a cache that does not have a container. TrigPoints and Virtuals require a photo. History caches require Q&A. If we were to do an enviro-cache, then we would need a new method of proof to go with the cache. If we just use th...

For many, a photo from a specific location could indeed suffice as proof - particularly if part of the challenge is to find the location and correct direction or subject.

Thanks - I was thinking of some other sites that are on private property, but adjoining or visible from roads or key locations - so can get or walk to see enough to identify landmarks or info for q & a, which would provide more potential sites again on top of the public land sites. There are lots of...

Newby here, so tell me if I am completely off track or missing prior info, but would like to know if this is a possibility. I work with a number of community groups which are involved in managing a range of public land sites for ongoing improvement - often dealing with weeds, planting, walking track...
