Geocaching Australia

Hear, hear roostaman. Lock it in, block out the diary and we are there. Oh and we are so there at the 2013 event. To add to the suggestion that a mega event only needs a day, why not coincide a main mega event in Christchurch with a followup one day mega event in Auckland a few days later. Don't wo...

So far we have 220 or so individual people indicating that they're interested in attending by the voting thus far, with Australians out numbering New Zealanders 2 to 1. We need to get close to 500 (ie 400 plus) in order to proceed with the project. Please note that votes saying that 2012 is too far ...

Don't worry - we'll make sure there are suitable options available for all.

The NZ Recreational GPS Society (www.gps.org.nz) is considering the option of hosting a NZ MEGA event - probably in either Easter or in October 2012. The likely location is Christchurch - the largest city in NZ's South Island. For those of you who haven't been to Christchurch before, its about the s...

I was already aware of the South Carolina situation.
Cemetery caches are pretty common here in New Zealand - I've placed a couple and done many of them.
As long as they're tastefully done and don't actually involve interfering with grave sides, etc then I'm fine with them.

Sounds good.
I've already done 70 or 80 Tassy caches so come pre-loaded with some tales (like I said, aiming for honary citizenship).

Ok, dates that would suit in Launceston.
We fly into Lauceston (ex Melbourne) on the evening of 14/6/10, so the following day - 15th June would suit.
We fly out of Launceston (to Melbourne) on the morning of 20/6/10 so the previous day 19th June is another good option.

Cheers,
Moneydork.

not afraid of a feed and a chat either

Cool. I've got relatives (an Aunt and Uncle) who have recently moved there from Western Australia, so we'll probably spend a couple of days there. I'll post a post later with some options.

In my bid to become an honory Australian, I should crack the 3000 Australian cache finds mark in Tassy in June That reminds me, I should go and re-set the Kiwi traps then :lol: Where abouts in Tassy are you? A kiwi trap involving beer and a meal with some local cachers along with an "attend event" ...

And to thnk that most beople that I talked to subsequently throught that I was full of s**t with my 600 to 800 estimate. As with Gavin, I'd like to thank the MEGA committee on an excelent job that will be tough to come close too, never mind compete against. Also, thanks to the numerous placesr whose...

Thanks. I'm surprised that our record still holds, as we all finished believing that we could have done an additional 15 or 20 caches if we'd planned out more caches for the day (we ran out of planned caches as we didn't expect to be as successful as we were and so had to switch to "find nearest" fo...

I'm happy to consider shared hosting of our two sites www.gps.org.nz and geocaching.com.au It's not such a silly idea. Our members are donating a bit as well - we have another $100 odd so far, so its all good. I guess its only fair after our trip to Adelaide last year to steal your "most caches in a...

No worries. I'm sure you'll remember it if we ever need a hand.

In recognition of the level of customisation that has been made to suit New Zealand users (mainly by our friend Caught at Work) the New Zealand Recreational GPS Society has decided to donate AUD$500 towards your server fund raising effort. Whats more, we're inviting users of our web site to donate a...

True, but 200 caches in a day would be more impressive.
