Geocaching Australia

When my 60CSx has been in the sun for a while, or just hot from being inside the van, my on/off button is very spongy, it requires a very deep press of the button to turn it on. Mine is about 5 years old though. My 3 year old GPS60 does this as well, I use a car key to turn it on and off.It is fine...

I "found" a Trig in Bowen (Nth Qld) recently but it isn't listed. I'm sure I've seen it listed before (otherwise I wouldn't have known to go and look for it). Is it possible to view archived trig points?

If you want to reduce the chance that they will end up as cache containers, why not drill a few holes in the sides and lids to make them less attractive?

Why bother? they leak anyway .

A DNF log dosn't bother me but obviously it's importent to some, I saw the profile of an overseas cacher that had over 1000 finds and zero DNF's.I seem to run about 1 in 10.Maybe we should have a DNF Pathtag to commemorate 50 or 100 DNF's.

The log in most nanos is wrapped around a metal pin, simply use the magnet in the base of the container to lift the log out. Cheers. and where in the " guidelines of geocaching , any site, does it advise to wrap our nanos log around a metal pin? 'MOst' nanos are stuffed with scraps of paper pulp.th...

I've been "Gunna" hida a GCA cache for a while but just never got around to it.Up to a few days ago there were exactly ZERO GCA caches in this area now there are six(and I'm yet to find one ) .The seed has been planted, hopefully it will thrive.Thanks C@W for starting the ball rolling.
Cheers.

Chocolate icecream, because motorbikes don't have door handles!

I have seen only a handfull of "proper" trig points in Australia over the last 45 years. Earlier this year I spent 10 days in New Zealand and I saw dozens of lollypop type trigs just sitting beside the road, there're everywhere! I would not be suprised if there ARE 107,477 of them in NZ (or should t...

Dang! It recently took me three days figure out how to do this.

Hey c@w, I have noticed that some trig point flags on the maps are covering cache flags. I can see some cache owners would not be happy with this situation. Would it be possible to change the TP flag, perhaps turn it upside down, to prevent this?

Great work guys.I just logged a couple and I'm keen to find some more.Thanks to all involved in getting this up and running.

I don't know if posts are going through this will be my third
I think my most positive caching moment would be attending the "Cached on the Strand"event on the 18th of July in Townsville.
Cheers.

I'm surprised that more people haven't taken up this challenge.I received my pathtags a couple of weeks ago, they're awesome.The puzzles really aren't that hard ('though I did need a couple of hints),all the answers can be found on the 'net.Thanks again to Mr Emu for the 'tags and the enormous effor...

Top idea. Living in a low density cache area I would love something else to look for. I know of the whereabouts of a few trig points, I've waymarked two, but I have been unable to track down a database of Qld trigs, any clues?
Cheers.
