Geocaching Australia

I had a couple of very experienced cachers go through my home area recently. Not only was it great to see that they had a go at even the more difficult caches, but they wrote descriptive logs. Not all were long but they were interesting. They also repaired and replaced a couple of containers that we...

What! All you people actually have phone coverage where you go caching. That must be neat.

As the logs above indicate, this is a long running and perennial problem. The best answer might be to maintain responsibility for placed caches. This, I think is the idea behind the requirement to be able to maintain any cache you place, It is not as much fun as placing new ones and can become time ...

"Cruel Intentions" for my cacher name, which I found quite amusing, if a little out of sync with my caching character. I also got "slut boi" for my real name, so there may be a limited number of "translations"

"A new cache was put out here. Tin Tune Riddle by Mix Boxhead and the first three finders choose not to log it on line. Everyone who went there thought they were logging a first to find. Turns out they were just getting in line. Eventually when it got to about for finders people started to log it. "...

Wouldn't that be Geeee-o-caching? (as in, "What was I doing before i was distracted? Oh yes, geocaching.") Or perhaps, Cheeeeeocaching ( a cheesey Americanisation of the pronunciation?)

One of the joys of caching in the countryside is that the only needles you are llikely to find in a garden bed are pine needles. I have said this before, but will repeat, that I would not like to see a generic "rule" replace common sense. A garden bed may be inappropriate where you get 20 cachers in...

Mine, in the deep woods, has proven safe so far. This may be because it is quite hard to find, and unlikely to be stumbled on accidently, or it could be the presence of the Bandar and their poison arrows. My only problem is keeping it stocked, which reminds me i have a couple of TB's that need placi...

Now that I have had some caches out for about 3 years, I feel more confident promoting the virtue of tupperware. I buy them at garage sales for any thing from 50c., to a few dollars for really big ones. About 30 of my 40 caches are tupperware. As long as people put the lids on correctly they are com...

As a non statistician, but social scientist (history geography and politics) that appears to be a poorly constructed graph; in that, at first appearances, it makes you think that the number of pirates is increasing with global warming. While obviously the number of pirates probably has no effect on ...

I was "lucky" to begin caching in a rural area three years ago, where there were about 3 caches within a few thousand square kilometres. Since then I have only managed to find about 150 caches, because of their scarcity and the travel/distances required, but I have placed close to 40, and my conscio...

Wadda ya mean talk about it. If you start talking about it everyone will want to get in on the act. My reply is "of course i COULD tell you, but then I would have to put you on a black flight, to an undisclosed destination in Cuba"

I'm a bit of an old conservative. I would probably create one or two really good new caches ( if you could find sites to do them justice.) Then i would revamp any of my old caches, which had got run down, and try to improve the general quality of those. Too often, i think, we all tend to forget some...

I have replaced a few where they could not be repaired. I make a note in the logs that they may not now match the original container, and also notify the owner.

Hadn't been to the site for a week. Most unusual. Must plead pressures of work. Very busy at schools this time of year. Yes, pitiful excuse, and as my wife says, "get a life," but anyway was pleasantly suprised to see the new design/layout. Really looks good. Can't comment on functionality yet, but ...
