Five Surgeons

Five surgeons are discussing who makes the best patients on the operating table. The first surgeon says, "I like to see accountants on my operating table, because when you open them up, everything inside is numbered." The second responds, "Yeah, but you should try electricians! Everything inside the...

I have a couple of episodes to recount. One was Derringers "Sands of Time" where we braved a metre or so swell for 70km in an open boat. Got pretty wet by the end of that. Another time was a caching trip up towards Bendigo where a flash flood occurred and cut off roads etc due to a very heavy downpo...

I have been looking at Garmin's for a while because having cached with others with them they seem much better than my current Magellan. There's a new version coming out soon in most of the models which has a H prefix. Apparently a much more powerfull reciever etc. Reputedly better than the Sirf 3 cu...

Caches for travelers

I reckon we could do with more caches along major highways simply to break up trips. I've got a few up the Hume and I know they are pretty uninteresting in the main but they make you stop at least once. Just drove down from Sydney recently and there are not a lot along the highway in NSW. Could do w...

Australias oldest virgins-----Another one down

This looks like a thread where I should throw in a comment although there is another one running. A muggle friend and I picked up what I believe is the oldest unfound cache in all states except WA last weekend. It involved a walk of over 27km and elevation changes of around 300 metres several times ...

Hi Dak
As per all the others I wish you all the best. My prayers are with you too. You have been a great help to me a few times, and I have had a great time chasing your caches. Through all that I reckon I know you, and know you are the best. Get well soon.

Regards Howard.

Too hard basket!!! Yes I certainly have one. I have not got too involved in any of the puzzle caches around yet, probably due to the fact that there are plenty of easier ones to get first. I've really enjoyed Daks BT series which I have been picking away at for months. This is not a difficult series...

Previous trips weve been to Innamincha, Birsdville Boulia Alice Springs and all points between. My wife a...

Thanks for all your comments. It's very interesting. I used to have a job that involved a bit of travelling but now I sit in an office all day. What a pity caching wasn't thought of when I had that previous job.
What an even bigger pity I wasn't the one who invented this game.
