Geocaching Australia

I strongly recommend we only use open source / free tools for our work. The site isn't going to pay for a license and if we use a personal one and you leave, we're stranded. Regardless of any good intention, if someone has an event in their life, the last thing they will care about is handing over a...

An Earthcache is specifically supported by The Geological Society of America. https://www.geosociety.org/gsa/fieldexp/EarthCache/home.aspx US centric, but they do allow for Earth caches around the world.As they are a Geological Society, they naturally focus on Geology, despite the name being Earth C...

Here’s a few ideas on some content I think could benefit us: 1. How easy it is to geocache here. • I’ve heard a few comments in my time from non-GCA cachers saying they don’t know how to go about finding stuff on our site. These are folks that have never used a GPSr and want their phone to point th...

There has been no feedback from FB or IG. Happy for you start the chat about what sort of content we can create. It will have small items we need, such as it being GCA identifiable (links and colors or logo), it shouldn't been "too long", it should credit the creator wherever possible, content MUST ...

All of the above :-) I think we would like to have a greater social media presence. I can't do it all. Having people "make content" that can be massaged together "collaboratively" into improving social media "presence" is the goal. If you have video or photos that you would like to contribute as a c...

Maybe you're a talented videographer, or a caching enthusiast capturing breathtaking moments, an aspiring musician eager to showcase your compositions, or even a gadget lover with interesting cache builds. Come and help us create incredible video based social media to captivate and inspire others. h...

How long would a compostable box with a codeword last? Realistically? 6 months? 12? 2 years? I suppose it depends on the environment. Hot and wet, shorter than cool and dry. Maybe you could have a "selection" of months before an auto archive kicked in. 3 months. 6 months. 12 months. etc. All sorts o...

So an eco-friendly cache where after (say) 6 months, the thing has composted and the site automatically archives it? With indigenous plant seeds so that the composting component also promotes flora in the area?

Traditional caches, by their definition are the traditional cache type of geoaching. Traditionally they would be a container, with a logbook. Any deviation from that would no longer be a true traditional and take away from the traditional concept. Well, that's my opinion anyway. If we added optional...

The cache is not in our database, so we can't include it.

This is a thread split from another to discuss and explore the concept of a new cache type at Geocaching Australia called an Earth Science Cache.
