Geocaching Australia

Polling on this question just goes to show that in Geocaching, as in politics, the majority can be wrong

That said, nudism doesn't worry me, my parents were into it and when I was young we went to a number of nudist club events. Quite enlightening for a 14yo boy in fact :twisted: 14yo boy in a nudist club? I bet you spent a lot time time sitting with your legs crossed :) Our own nude caching experienc...

I think the mouse navigation in World Wind is better, but Google's ability to load a GPX, then link straight to the gc.com page is so cool.

gc.com have, for premium members, a link to a gpx file on each cache page. This is really handy for updating GSAK etc when new caches come out. Could this be included in GCA pages?

On the positive side, at least they pronounced cache correctly

Does a PICAXE or STAMP have an RTC, because the first 'smart' cache I have in mind must be able to keep an accurate track of the time and date. No, PICAXE doesn't have an RTC, but for $5 you can add one like the DS1307 which is easy enough to interface to. You can also get a 16 char x 2 line lcd wi...

That'd be Just Around the River Bend. I think I bought Sistema from the Victor Harbour Woolies when I put that one out.

Are you taking anything for this paranoia? Of course, if you're right, it's probably best I don't use my real name, so I won't mention "Gun". Hang on, there are some men in dark suits at the front door, I'll be right ba
