Geocaching Australia

Another forum that we are members of has an ISP checking feature & has stopped more than a handfull of people from creating extra accounts.

If they are being done then we would love one.

As Freddo said, congrats on the excellent organisation & effort.

I ran over my science teacher because I'm a ninja

The problem I had was originally when I copied some text from another web site, which when I couldn't post due to errors, I saved in a word doc. I haven't tried this particular text without smart quotes but it sound logical. thanks for your prompt help. :D I meant to put this in yesterday but never ...

Is anyone having problems with getting errors when posting?

I carry a small LED torch, assorted geocoins & a multi tool card & thats just for day to day travels. When caching you can add a bum pack full of swaps, digital camera, binoculars, pda mobile phone & of course GPSr.

Cool , from what I interpreted from the last line of the article they might be puting up some new navstar birds.

We use a Garmin GPS60 basic model which has mapsource software, USB upload, we also have a DC power cable for trips & windshield mount. which has a dedicated geocaching mode but is cheaper than the 60csx but does not have maping software. But still an excellent entry level GPSr.

We have been caching for almost 2 years but have never actually read which setting a GPSr should be on for north eg grid or magnetic.
