Geocaching Australia

Our Satellites, who art in heaven, Hallowed be thy Name. Thy GPSr come. Thy will be done, On OziExplorer as it is in DiscoverAus. Give us this day our daily pocket queries. And forgive us our no finds, As we forgive those who muggle our caches. And lead us not into FTF battles, But deliver us from e...

While surfing the planet, I found this.

Mt Taranaki in New Zealand.

We're not hills residents (anymore - Miss Wibble grew up in Mylor, so she still considers herself a "Hills Person") so we'd be interested in attending too.
August 5th is good for us, not August 6th though (State Orienteering Champs). We'll keep an eye on the potential final date...

Interesting, we've never been to a caching event and yet we seem to bump into cachers all the time.... perhaps we move in the "right" circles? Shortly after starting a new job, and shortly after getting involved in caching, Miss Wibble discovered her new supervisor was an astronomically-inclined cac...

Team Wibble came from an obscure Blackadder reference.
So obscure, no-one seems to get it....
Oh well, can't change it now (haven't come up with anything better anyway!)

I'm rather impressed at some of those containers there. But do we really want to encourage geocachers to be out there pulling appart birds nests and such in the hope there might be a geocache underneath one?! Food for thought.... The aussie version could be a dead wombat on the side of the road ......

Thanks, Cheesypigs, someone actually noticed them for sale! That's a start! We will of course keep up the good work.... if they actually sell. No biters yet. I saw some more elaborate first aid/cache repair kits for sale on Ebay from the US and thought that something cheaper and simpler could be cre...

And I don't want to sound like a queer or nothin, but I think unicorns are cool.

"Jesus!"

"Where?!?!"

Only realised I do this recently:

When walking on wooden boardwalks, no matter where you are, you look down between the cracks... just in case you spot something wedged underneath.

(Another use of the laminator is to laminate your will so when the usless maps on a Garmin leave you dead in the bush the bugs can't eat the paper.) Why use useless Garmin maps when you have all those detailed orienteering maps lying around? Of course, you have to carry actual paper around with you...

I bought a Marbig A4 laminator from Woolworths and it works fine - only takes about a minute to warm up, doesn't require a carrier or anything like that. The only problem I've had was when I stupidly tried to laminate something with two "offcuts" of laminating plastic - the plastic wrapped itself ar...

We're heading to NZ late November/December for a 3 week holiday and hope to squeeze some caching in amongst other things. Does anyone have any experience with using NZ topo maps (OziExplorer compatible) and know what sort of price we'd be looking at for purchasing them or where to get them? Being ab...

Another "Team" here, which consists of two people - Wibble 1 (me) and Wibble 2 (my partner). There's been several instances where I've found a cache without Wibble 2 and a few instances where Wibble 2 has found a cache without me, and lots of instances where we've both been there. Every cache gets l...

Well I'm still waiting on a reply to a request to un-archive a cache that I accidentally unexpectedly slightly embarrassingly permanently archived rather that temporarily disabled. Did you get that request from me riblit? Sent it through monday morning. No real rush though for getting this cache bac...
