Re: "Commercial" events?

I had to remove from a cache listing that it was possible to get a coffee from the nearby shops, as I was told that was commercial. It wasn't just one cafe, but several, so I wasn't plugging a business, but still I couldn't mention this. I like to know where I can take a break when caching and get ...

Re: We're baaaaack. TAS, VIC

Hi Louise, Thanks for the reply. I already noticed the Pacman caches (we like Whereigo's). Of course we're not coming over to cache but to see see stuff, caching is the sideactivity and so long multi's are out of the question. Geelong is our last stop before going back home so we might have a little...

Re: How many people still visit the forums

Looks it's the same everywhere. I still visit forums (our local Belgian one and one in the Netherlands) but the Belgian one only has occasional posts. People are visiting and reading but few are posting. Many are on FB (I'm not) and groups there can't be counted anymore (I've heard). Too bad, as a f...

Easy... by finding the cache and logging it (and reading the other logs)
The cache is close to the A-bomb dome in Hiroshima and thus an easy find (if you're a tourist) :mrgreen:

Re: Photos in cache logs, how far do you go?

Some people even post pictures when they DNF. The problem with this http://www.geocaching.com/seek/log.aspx ... fe05decb4c log is that they shouldn't have logged a DNF. #-o
Take a good look at the picture. For those not seeing it I'll post a hint later ](*,)

Re: What's it good for?

So how may Belgians can say they have found a Geocaching Australia cache? You. You're very special and will be sought after to appear at every event and be held in high esteem while people flock to gain your autograph :-) I just looked out the window and there's a black van parked in front of our h...

What's it good for? Well, same as most caches I reckon - it's showing people a great spot :) Anyway, I hope you enjoyed the location and if you come back to Aus for another trip, be sure to check out this site for any other caches that might be near your route. You can download them to your gps too...

What's it good for?

Hi, After visiting WA and NT my stats went up ... good... :D We made a tour from Perth to Exmouth and stayed in the Alice/Uluru area for a week before going back to Belgium.
