Geocaching Australia

Dang !! It's all a bit moot now :( All that time sneaking around outside of libraries, council chambers and cheap motels with my PDA in hand, hoping for a usable signal to surf the web will be a thing of the past :lol: Finally Maccas provide a happy meal of free WiFi, just days before I get wireless...

Yes I have been very interested in video gaming and computer gaming for over 25 years :D Back in the good old days I had a 'Microbee' computer on which I played Asteroids and Defender and even one of the first role playing/solve the puzzle games. Wish I could remember what it was called :o Moved up...

I've been waiting for this since it was announced last year :D I can see this being useful, as Papa Bear left said, for checking on those picture clues. Especially on pushbike rides where I am travelling with just the GPSr and PDA :D I'm not going to be giving up my local bakery addiction though :P...

I must admit it is difficult to get a FTF on a cache in Brisbane these days, but I ocassionally fluke one :lol: In latter years I have focused more on chasing the FTF on the more difficult caches that pop up. That is: Caches in the nearby country areas which involve a bit of a drive (weekdays off wo...

Was FTF on "Beyond The Cavern" any less sweet for its being a GCA cache, If?
There's a couple more waiting for you when you get a chance to do "XoE - Down The Back"

NO

PS: Supporting evidence for FTF fever

Yah! FTF :D Such a great feeling. Despoiling a completely empty logbook with my scrawl is one of those moments to be savoured in caching :P FDF just sounds lame, sorry :oops: Oh dear I couldn't get out of bed early enough, Oh dear I didn't see the listing come up, Oh dear I had to drop the kids off...

I tried to find the two caches on Mt Warning one rainy day a couple of years ago, but was beaten by ambiguous clues and even more ambiguous satellites :lol: I've climbed up there several times over the years and will climb up there again sometime :D Mountains were put there to climb and damned if a...

Failing that you could do what I do and leave a couple of spares in the car. I've tried that ! It doesn't help :shock: I just checked. There are twenty two spare pens and pencils in the car :D Not one of them has ever reminded me to take one of them with me as I enthusiatically leapt from said car ...

Maybe the real problem lies with the Earth itself ?
Apparently it moves
That's gotta affect the accuracy of any GPS system

Seriously, do we really want spot on coords ? It takes away the "search" bit of a find (sometimes)

After viewing the video (and eventually managing to regain my composure and pick meself up off the floor), I don't know whether to be embarrassed for you or with you :shock: Seems I am not alone out there in being a caching tragic 8) I now know that there are others who grew up in SA and spent/are ...

Next time you're in the NT you might like to pick some up

Yes :D I always remove razor blades and those pesky el cheapo retractable knives or scrapers that some people seem to think make great swaps for the geokiddies , or damaged, waterlogged and rusty items :shock: Those rotten moist towlettes and napkins from the local fast food outlet are also a favour...

So what will happen when the internet grinds to a virtual halt and the economy goes further down the drain because of some goody two shoes organisations in league with Mr Rudd and his not so multi-cultural buddies :? The pedophiles resort to coded emails and start sending all their stuff via overnig...
