Geocaching Australia

I leave them there as well. I usually avoid any caches with DNF as the two last entries. I feel it's up to the owner to verify it still exists.

You could use Geoscience Australia's https://www.ga.gov.au/map/names/

It is pretty spot on.

Solved your mystery.

The number stamped on the coin is a valid TB number for geocaching.com. Goblindust owns it (probably brought it back from the USA), but hasn't activated it yet.

You may want to email him/her and left them know they need to.

Sounds cool. What cost and how do you make them once you have the mould?

We have had a similar thing in Canberra, whereby one Geocacher didn't like another, so he stole about 15 of his caches. This was also inconvenient for everyone else who went looking for them (including myself, who spent one hour traveling out to a stolen one yesterday). Somehow he was caught - proba...

I went searching for My Son near Hoi An in Vietnam. It was meant to be a little off the track, and after about 15 minutes in 40 degree heat crashing around trees and biten by green ants, I gave up. On the bus trip back to the hotel I read in Lonely Planet that I shouldn't stray from the path when vi...

The shapefiles folder is the best to grab. I imported it into MapEdit, but I have heard from many that OziMapper will handle it. Noticed that some of the roads in the ACT map are out a bit, but given its free I'm not complaining.

Even some of the 'not so mature' people use 800 x 600. I'm in my ealry 30's and have myopia. With contacts I find reading the computer a chore. Therefore I use this setting. My understanding is that according to web stats 800 x 600 has just dropped below 50%. There maybe a while to wait yet before y...

My name is Spindoc Bob (actually it is Darren). Spindoc comes from my days at the Canberra Deep Space Communication Complex, at which I was the Spin Doctor (PR person). Bob is a nickname from High School and Uni. I'm originally from Greensborough in northern suburbs of Melbourne, moved to Ballarat f...

I've seen it, but there are none in the ACT.

I have to travel interstate.

The icons we had in the last incarnation (July to October 2003).

Point taken. I suppose I'm coming from a 'purist angle' :roll: , whch would like to see each cache unique enough in location that it would provide a new experience. I'll leave it at that. On another 'soap box' topic; I'm concerned about the quality of caches being set in Canberra lately. Some are ap...

I like the gallery feature. Helps to remind me of the great (and not so great) locations I've been to. Must agree that the old icons (apart from the virtual ghost) were better.

My understanding is the same as yours. When placing multicaches you are meant to inform the cache approver of the final waypoint. However, this would mean that the approver will have to keep a record of final waypoints for multicaches, making their job much harder. Personally, I feel that the person...

Cache Saturation The approvers use a rule of thumb that caches placed within .10 miles (528 feet or 161 meters) of another cache may not be listed on the site. This is an arbitrary distance and is just a guideline, but the ultimate goal is to reduce the number of caches hidden in a particular area ...
