Geocaching Australia

1002 in a weekend
good grief too much like hard work!

I only managed to find enough spare time to get a couple of hundred.

I really should order the general event badge though.

I have been using doteasy, but the free package no longer exists (except for existing users like me). My bandwidth limit there is 1gb, which I keep hitting lately, and the other inclusions at 000 are better, so I may move one of my sites there. Even using their subdomain would be fine for most gener...

With The Great Scouts Australia Geocaching Competition almost here, and having offered myself as an Ambassador, I am going to try running a day to introduce scouts to the sport. If anyone is interested and available on Sat 23rd March to give me a hand at Oatley Park, please let me know. I'm also con...

While I can't assist Tronador,
I can transport from Sydney to Melbourne/Geelong in a week's time if any need to go that way.
(PM me, I may n0t make it back online here in time)

I am probably the last to notice to Meet and Greet event on the 6th at AJ -

Might catch some of you there.

Hey Hoojar,
I agree re the GPS/phone options, but have been fairly reliably informed we are going via the coastal run, with a likely tea stop about Taree.
We are leaving Sydney @ 4pm on the 31st.

I assume at least a few of people going to AJ also take part in the cachinggames.com moving cache race? I was thinking it might help us all out to each take some movables in the game up, and swap there. noone can get a box ticked off without moving them, but then I guess placing "just north" of the ...

I will also be heading from Sydney to Maryborough on 31/12, to the Oz Scout Jamboree, so there is a chance for myself and other scout cachers to transport a few/bundle each and arrange swapovers.

There are two caches showing in the ladder for Alfyboy as already there - both are traditionals and with different owners?
Confused!

just under 2 weeks till the start - and we are down to about 12 blank numbers. If all players hsowing only one or two build up to 5, and a few more join in, we should cover all the digits. At the moment, I cannot fill any of my 5 games, as each has at least one of the blanks numbers on it, so here's...

I recall reading that someone in a recent post was having trouble printing - excel/word would not work etc - using IE to view them, highlight the game grids you want to print, select File, then Print, then under Page Range select SELECTION (otherwise you get the entire page) then print. That should ...

drat, wish I had a few thousand dollars to throw away - I would consider the ultimate movable cache - a LARGE log book, in the gove box of a mini, with the key provided ...
Guess I will have to make do with a mint tin disguised as a car.

Well there you go, Scouts Aust have a geocaching comp running for the first half of 2013, yet rather than find out on a scout newsletter, I find out here - thanks for the link Hoojar! Guess I need to promote it to the scouts - we already cache on hikes etc to get them interested. And yep - much easi...

I too am on the line with troop Outback 32. I still have to work out coords (had not thought of doing so till reading the logs). - edited - coords look like being approx S25 30.576 E152 40.050 based on the pdf map/plan I received, and comparing it to the visible features on g-earth. Maybe we all nee...

A few weeks ago I decided to "fill in the caching calendar" in the GC stats,
and the final date of the 120-odd days I needed to do a cache turns out to be the final day of OzMega.
Guess I will have to make sure I have at least one cache to do there before we leave for home.
