Geocaching Australia

Some interesting thoughts have been raised. At the end of the day the Committee has stuck up their hand to offer to put on an event which I'm sure will be fantastic. Could it have been better at a different location? Perhaps, but was there a Committee elsewhere who put their hand up? No (aside from ...

Given the new information 'OZ Mega 2012' I'd suggest the NZ committee go away and think about some dates. :-k Given the previous mention that the event would rely heavily on OZ numbers making the journey you don't want it to clash or be too close to the 2012 Mega. I'd be cautious about peoples budge...

Team Shrek4 will be there. 2 adults, 2 children (will be 4.5yrs and 10 month old - yet to be delivered).
Plan to camp onsite.
Coming from Windsor Gardens, SA

Well done committee sounds very exciting

Has someone guessed Bright? Has deer, emus and alpacas in the region

I'll add my voice to Albury/Wodonga. I'll go as far to say the venue will be out of town in Bandiana. And the team from Canberra on the committee? MV. My two cents.

Ohh I hope so. Fingers crossed

How exciting! We have fingers and toes crossed that we can make it and that the date doesn't clash with the impending arrival of the 4th Shrek to our family (due 16th June 2011) \:D/ . Great work committee, can't believe you've been able to plan SO much without so much as a hint to the GeoCaching Co...

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

Excellent!

TBH I'd rather 2012 Easter in OZ, makes it easier to travel and bring the camping kit.

Yes it does allow PQ downloading, this is built into the app. There would be nothing stopping you using the PQ then going 'offline'. The app also caches maps. This means that you could view the maps whilst home on your wifi, this will cache the maps for later use offline.

I did. Still if buying 3+ it's stll cheaper than http://www.rei.com/search?query=chirp which is $32 (not sure if that includes insurance).

Not a bad price.

I went caching on Sat. Both the Oregon 300 and Iphone 4 had a 5m error margin. Having said that still a DNF

Also tom those that said that the app is near useless in the bush due to no phone signal. The App can cache data into the phone ie google maps eta can be cached. That is if you view the maps for the area on your phone before you leave home or phone signal area they will be accessible once you are of...

Great that you've a new iPhone. I've had one for two+ years now and love it. I use the groundspeak app on mine and it does everything I require. I also use a dedicated GPSr so I don't rely on it. Being a new iPhone owner you probably haven't seen this website http://www.itunesonsale.com.au/ which te...
