Lots of possibilities with this cache type!

Regarding historical info in Queensland, here’s a map of a Trigonometrical Survey of Moreton Bay from 1840.. https://gisservices.information.qld.gov.au/arcgis/rest/directories/historicalscans/cad_scans/cad-map-trig-surv-moreton-bay-1841.jpg That’s the oldest Queensland Trig Survey map I know off. I’...

It’s nice to have the option to find this cache type. The GC ones are dying fast. Nearly half of the GC webcam caches I’ve found have since been archived. Ireland recently lost its last one.

An option is to start threads in each of the State forums and even a couple in the Outside Oz forum

Community Celebration Events are a newish subgroup of the Event cache celebrating milestone years of geocaching.

Some nice art on those silos. I like the idea of virtual caches and the reasons they’re available. Thanks for another video

Even though it’s unlikely I’ll get to Hawaii, I have a to-do list for it. Haleakala summit and TP6161 have been added, thanks for sharing that

I didn’t know there were GCA caches outside of Australia and New Zealand!

To get there I drove ...

They are called "ephemeral" because they willk <—

I’m finally preparing to create a wherigo cache. I reached out to geo-friends for advice and every reply was to use this platform.. https://kit.wherigofoundation.com I have waypoints I want to use but I need to find a GZ and weave a story before I start the process. I’ll provide feedback once done. ...

Hello, Regarding the Cache Type page in the wiki. The Augmented Reality summary lists the Geocacher type. http://wiki.geocaching.com.au/wiki/Cache_type I have lots of ideas for hides using many of the different cache types. Next year at this stage though. Is this thread the best way to flag any wiki...

Ironically, I’ve done lots of nighttime geocaching but not for night specific caches. I need to make another list. I have a thing for lists haha. Thanks for another video

Great idea! LOTS of geocaching options around here

Lots of interesting ways to use these tags. I did an NFC cache a few years ago in a Malaysian underground car park (how’s that for random!). It was a multi-cache and used the tags as waypoints. This particular setup didn’t require an internet connection or website, it relayed information via an app ...
