Geocaching Australia

A very good idea, pitty I only just bought a Garmin GPS 60 only 6 months ago. Oh well. I have the old trusty laptop in my car anyhow, but its about time they made a GPS that can hold more than the average 24 or 64MB of memory because you can only load about 1/4 of the county onto a 24mb chip with Me...

You will be able to load extra maps I think from memory 64Mb worth of it, from any Mapsource prduct from any country onto a overseas unit, as long as you have the correct Mapsource code for City Navigator or Metroguide Australia. However the internal basemap cannot be changed as it is permanently bu...

I have met dak a few times personally and have have had a couple of good hints on caches I have been stuck on. I feel deeply saddened by this tradgedy, but I hope he has a speedy recovery and gets well soon.
Hope to see you back on the caching trail soon and keep the happy thoughts .

Thanks for the warning, and I must say that Lt Ketch did the very right thing and I have taken action. I took a walk to the cache the other day after work and YUCK it smelled and I wasn't going to pick it up or move it, I will replace this one in a different park. Thanks again from M.B

Why not make thse containers all clear, at least then we can see what is inside them.

I have had one of my caches muggled and replaced with a Yellow container full of syringes. But BLACK.. Whats next. I think they need to make these containers more obvious that they are a sharps container. Like putting some syboles on them to alert a person of a dangerous item. Being Pure black is a ...

For most caches, it would be good to keep the logs in order, but I have used a blank spare page when the log book has been full or when the cache is really old. One time I didn't even notice it till SDM Geo picked up the log book and needed to write on the next page and it alrwady had a log in it fr...

I log the time of find on 90% of the caches I have found. I also write the time of find on my cache sheets so later on a I can write, Cache 1 of 6 found today at 10AM. etc. It also gives me an idea of my speeds during the day and how much I can do in a given time frame. (if everything goes to plan) ...

Have done it before and seen another team doing it It depends on how much of a rush i'm in at the time.

No problem with this at all.

NO
NO
NO
NO..

My thinking is that this is cheating, so a person that has 70 caches out can log 70 extra finds.. nooo..

ps.. who cares how many you have found. Just have fun while your out there.

Wow, all I can say is that I thought the Milgrove track was a challengte, but it seems that there can be more. I dont mind physical challenge from time to time just like the Milgrove track in Warburton these caches are all the ones that will take 2 - 5 hours. With hard slogging all the way there and...

GZ accurate indoors and out, and underground.. hmm. 50 years fly by and we will be able to walk to a cache and pick it up without even looking for it. Therefore caches will become harder to find. More Maths, more triky questions and more waypoints. Traditional caching will come a thing of the past b...

I found a Garmin GPS a few months ago. I looked previous finders of the cache on the day and emailed a few of them to check that they have all their caching equipment is I have found something someone has lost and if they can correctly identify the piece of the equipment I will arrange a time to reu...

If you want a moving map you will now need to download Nroute. It is on the garmin website somewhere for download, its actually better than what the old mapsource prgram could ever pull off.
