Geocaching Australia

I leave mine in generally...but it is completely based on the size of the bag. The reason pens and pencils puncture holes in the bag is because the bag is a) too small and the writing implement is pressed up against the bag, or b) the size of the cache is too small for the pen or pencil, and is squa...

Location - The trail need to be interesting.
Variation - Mix up the hides and/or containers
An Anchor - There needs to be a interesting reason/theme/challenge involved.

A very good recipe for success!

Having done the Albany 100 in WA (now archived), ACT, SA, and a few other minor ones across Australia, I can safely say I enjoyed the Wandering Heroes series in SA far more than any other, simply because it seemed to have a better purpose and more thought put into (no offense to the others). It's ba...

I just noticed this while checking for caches for my 3 hour layover in Melbourne. Maybe it wont last so long... And with the Wandering Heroes powertrail in SA becoming increasingly longer (which I might add was brilliant and probably the best powertrail in Oz at the moment), it won't be long at all...

Well done W. VERY well done. How many DNF's in that too?

I voted 'No'...The motto 'if you like' that I keep in mind when placing a cache is 'Every cache should have at least one thing going for it'....whether it be; the view, the walk, the location, the cache itself (as in unique...clever...etc), the puzzle, history learned....anything. When I place a cac...

Picked up the book a couple of weeks ago and have been working on it ever since...Have worked through the first few puzzles, but they are getting progressively harder.

Just received this message this morning from Groundspeak... We are working on splitting out cache finds and challenge completion counts. Both will be displayed on the logs unless you have not found a Challenge. In that case the statistics for Challenges won’t be shown. This should be done by the end...

I found my first 4-5 caches without a GPS, due mostly to the description of the cache on the cache page being so detailed...and of course using the hint!

A cod...a cat...and a platypus...The pathtag designers will be tearing their hair out just thinking about trying to squeeze them all on!

Yep...Great idea.

I definitely will be there! 2 Adults.
