Geocaching Australia

I've been enjoying reading this thread this afternoon. It shows just how much different people get different things out of caching. As much as I enjoy finding regular and large caches, I think I could count on one hand the number of times that I have actually swapped anything! However I still grumbl...

Hi NotHisRealName. Nichols Knob is nowhere near a National Park. It would be a brave Chief Ranger or Pollie to draw a link between Geocaching in NSW National Parks and Geocaching on Unallocated Crown Land in remote outback Western Australia. I am aware of the location of the cache; I was merely poi...

Somehow I do not think circulating a video like this will help support the cause of granting geocachers access to National Parks in NSW. From a National Parks point of view it is driving like this that supports the ban.

lol!! So what have YOU lost while geocaching??? #-o I reckon I have gone close to loosing my sanity a few times trying to crack some puzzle caches ;-) Chip once left our Gizmo at a cache in Raymond Terrace. Sadly we didn't notice until the in-car Gizmo told us we had we reached the next cache; 45 m...

What do people consider the best app for viewing GPX files on the iPhone. I know that I have read threads here before but I can't seem to find them, and a quick view in the app store seems to indicate that the Groundspeak app uses the database and does not refer at all to GPX files. Thanks in advance.

I have noticed over my caching that a fair number of cachers have a past or present affiliation with the Scout Association. At the last Scout Jamboree (Elmore) I was disappointed to have to walk a few km to the nearest cache, and even then there were only two in town. It was, however, noted that a g...

Chip846 and Hoojar will be camping along with one geodog (Ding).

An old saying: "Ain't no shame in a DNF" I actually get more frustrated as an owner when people don't post DNFs. I hate getting emails asking me to check if a cache is there when no one has actually posted a DNF! If people don't log DNFs then don't expect a cache inspection. I also don't like it wh...

Any day is a good day for caching. Birthdays, Easter and Christmas have all been cached on! My brother in law and I once snuck out of the family Christmas do to walk the 3km return to get to a cache!

The FTF race in Wollongong is often very crowded. It is nothing to bump into 1 or 2 fellow cachers when a cache is first published. I think that I might have read once that five teams turned up to race for the FTF!

Wow, I'm even up on there! I certainly didn't expect that! Highest Daily Score in NSW

Chip and I normally get down to Tassie at least twice a year. It is our favourite place to have holidays. We're headed down in October for two weeks to raft the Franklin River :-) :-) :-) Last November we spent almost two weeks driving around the state and caching. I did all of the numbers before we...

Excellent, thanks! I suspect it may have been due to a deleted log when the wrong cache was logged in Tassie in February.

Much appreciated!

This just gets more and more bizarre!

I just uploaded my GC finds .GPX file to GCA.

GC says 1539 finds (as does CacheStats), however GCA now reports 1543 finds on 1542 caches!
