Kurnell, or to be precise, the oil jetty and Captain Cook's landing place.

super quick, congrats

Who can guess what this is?

May I but into this debate?

I had only found 2 caches when I placed our first. Since then we have placed a few more. I like to think we got at least 1 of them right.

Geocaching can attract inconsiderate people but, in Australia we are quite lucky. Even the "traffic" to our busiest caches is nothing compared with most of theirs in the U.S. I have heard stories of new walking tracks being carved through national parks in a matter of weeks, because there was a geoc...

I'm going on a sea voyage later on in the year and it got me thinking about how many degree confluences would be open to you if you had a sea going vessel. Unfortunately there are no actual confluences where I'm going however there is one located very close to the port of Noumea. If the ship looks l...

If you haven't had an encounter of the slithery kind before now you soon will. It seems an inevitable part of geocaching in Australia. I've seen so many I just sort of look at Joe Blakes as old friends to keep me company on lonely hikes. Just maybe keep in mind to brush up on your snake bite first a...

I have seen this kind of thing before. Only in America.

It's not talking about the good old days and living in the past at all. On the contrary, I'm talking about preserving the future of the sport so that other potential starters don't see it as a boring hunt for a few scaps of paper shoved inside a fiim cannister and nothing else. As hard as it may be ...

Just keep in mind that if you do take something that is obviously very expensive you should try to leave something of reasonable value in return. Looting a cache means taking something and leaving nothing in return but even this ...

Soap Box Mode "on" Spoken like true Johnny come latelies to the sport. The whole basis of Geocaching from the very beginning has been to swap trinkets and stuff for another and sign the log book to show that you have been to a cache. It's a tradition that the original players enjoyed and is still ju...

Co-ordinates being inaccurate can be frustrating and lead to more trampling and damage, but there are so many factors that can lead to a cache being rightly or wrongly deemed as inaccurate. Poor performance of a GPSr under tress and other obstacles. Not waiting at a location long enough for the GPSr...

Hey Dak

After reading your history and seeing the amount of caches you've found it's easy to see you've got the determination and persistence to overcome anything. I'm sure you'll have yourself back to top form in no time.

Cheers amd good luck mate!
