Geocaching Australia

We are likely to press ahead with the provision of a new server using the donated funds and consider the proposal based on different needs to what we had a few months ago. Are you looking to encourage more donations at this point? Like possibly others, I was thinking of chucking in a few dollars so...

Thank you for that correction.

I agree that Telstra NextG is the best bet, especially if you want coverage out of the cities. Probably not the cheapest however. Your I-Phone would need to support 850 MHz WCDMA however, not just any 3G network. I-Phones sold by Telstra do of course, but not those sold by the other majors here. Don...

Sounds great. If we can make it we will be there (2 adults + 2 geokids). Not too sure about this camping thing though - we like a bit of luxury

I wanted to get a low-credit limit credit card for the same purpose, but I found out as others obviously have, that the banks won't do it any more. Instead, I got a visa linked debit card and I just keep a very small amount of money in it, topping it up with an Internet transfer when ever needed. Mo...

I suggest they may have just wanted to see the result of the survey, without registering either yes or no. The "I don't know option" may be needed.

Thanks caughtatwork - I'll have two new caches in the above two categories hopefully published in a day or two.

Re: Badminton Me again I'm afraid.<p> What about if the flying ability of the animal is somewhere between that of an eagle and a kiwi? <p> I'm thinking specifically of the Lyrebird. They are poor flyers and generally regarded as ground dwellers, but can indeed manage to get up to the tops of trees, ...

Re: The 1500m
<p>
I have hidden a cache that we walked over 2km to place, however, I have discovered a shorter route which is marginal - about 1400m.<p>
So, the question is, does the shortest route have to be >= 1500m or is it sufficient that one uses the longer route to hide or find the cache?

Contours are great. They load just fine on a PC with Garmin MapSource, but I can't get them to display at the same time as CityNavigator etc. Is this possible? Maybe the transparency only works on the GPSr itself?

I couldn't work out why it asked for a phone number during installation. I just gave it some rubbish and it didn't seem to matter. Does anybody know the reason for this? I assumed it was just used as an ID, when you mark a cache as "Found" it keeps a record on their website, which can be linked to ...

I've just acquired an N95 8GB, and of course the first application I loaded was Geocache Navigator. Whilst I haven't used it in anger yet, it looks pretty cool so I'm anxious to try it out.<p> The linkage with GC is handy, will ensure that I don't forget anything, but you still appear to need to mak...

As has been said before, I don't think you can ignore the fact that many users would be unaware of the issue. I read the forum fairly regularly and this issue didn't register with me until yesterday. If you are away for a while, the number of new posts can be too many to read, and also, it's pretty ...

If it's your team, then you must also meet the requirement to claim this cache: http://geocaching.com.au/cache/ga0337

Wrestling and GA0337 ! - Not a pretty sight
<p>
Thanks for the answer.

In regards to No 29 "Wrestling".

Does the "fellow geocacher" refer to perhaps a member of your own team, or is it meant to be someone from a different team etc.
