The cheapest way to do Geocaching :!: Don't buy a GPS, just borrow one from a friend, then knock off one of his beers :twisted: while using his computer to look up a really close by Geocache. Walk to the cach, log your find, (Of course don't forget to do a TNLN) then return the GPS to your friend. B...

Gentleman's Halt is the final destination of the the track that leads you to Tower 126. I didn't put a cache right out there because I wasn't sure if there was an easy way up from the water and if so that would mean that people could cheat and do it by boat. Even Panorama has been done in this way. ...

I guess it comes down to the caches you REALLY want to do vs the caches you do just because they are there, but whatever you do it usually turns out to be fun. The beauty of this sport is that it can be as hard or as easy easy going as you want. One day you can find yourself scouring crocodile infes...

Do you reckon you could get to Panorama Cache before I get to Tower 126? The battle has been won. Mick and I did Tower 126 today. Quite an achievement I reckon and it'll be a long time before I attempt such a cache again. I agree that with so many closer to home and requiring much less effort, we h...

Are We Getting Lazy?
Just got a notice from GC.com that someone has logged Yacaaba after very a long dry spell. It occured to me that caching at this level of difficulty is becoming very rare indeed, at least in the Sydney area. In fact, hard /adventure cache finders and placers seem to be becoming extinct. Caches like ...

So that's what my darling wife does when I'm out working and she's supposed to be at home. Out drinking the Piss eh. :D Actually the show is repeated on Friday at 1pm and on Monday at 2pm. If you look closely you may even see the other dog in the audience as well. :) Although he's not good looking e...

I often listen in on Channel 5 UHFCB and many times have heard rescue operations going on. If you have a UHF radio with you, calling on this channel would always be an option. This is why I say that it is important to look beyond the cheapy "it'll do" 500mw handhelds when buying one. A 5 watt handhe...

One of the snakes I saw yesterday was well over a metre long. Very long for an Eastern Brown because usually they are quite a small snake even when adult. I'm guessing that in the area of the cache there had been a fairly recent litter. The rest were very small and not much longer than a lizard.<p> ...

Maybe I should have said the "bad" old days. In our heyday it was a 250 watt linear amplifier running of a 5/8 Station Master from the Coogee Area. I got a report from someone that I was interfering with his TV over 3 Kms away. I can always remember going away for a holiday to Bermagui on the south ...

Just a word of warning to all that snakes already seem to be very common this year and, as yet, we are very early into the warmer months. I visited a cache today and over a 10 minute period I spotted 4 Eastern Browns slithering very close to my feet. I have kinda got used to seeing joe blakes around...
