Geocaching Australia

Obviously some people have nothing better to do at 1am than grab 4 moving caches at a time pwags! I'm not that crazy, all I do is read about it on the Race Ladder :wink: Quiet roads, four easy FTF's of well-constructed caches, and the opportunity to mess with people's minds - now this is caching! \...

Find mine, find mine! And take it with you on hols, a long way from Melbourne, please!

OK - I'm in! Cache is hidden and listed, ready for release on 01/12. I've taken a very different approach to hiding this cache. Normally I like to make my caches challenging, and don't give away too many obvious hints in the listing. But this time I actually WANT it to be found, hence I've set up a ...

There's a GC cache in Victoria that's a multi, with WP1 at such a grave. Such a historic site, that people would never find without geocaching. It's "The Shepherd's Daughter, http://coord.info/GC175JE

Many thanks for the comments - my conscience is now much clearer! <p>I do agree that getting the coords from someone else who has solved the puzzle is cheating, but my original question relates primarily to using Google etc to find information that the person who set the puzzle didn't realise was av...

I'd like to hear your opinion on this issue. Lately I've been able to solve a few puzzle caches through "alternative" means, i.e. not as the hider intended. An example of this is Mission Impossible in Victoria, where the hider expected people to go "trainspotting" to find the clue to GZ. A couple of...

I wholeheartedly agree with the previous posts... I've never been disappointed with a c@w cache, and this one is no exception. Brilliant work finding a place so close to the city for such a big container. And it's likely to remain unmuggled for years, too!

Congrats on the 100, c@w!

I echo others' comments - congratulations to Marcus Vitruvius and Craig D for an amazing effort, and also to gd___ for his 4/4... very impressive work. <p> As a relative newbie to caching, I really enjoyed this game (my first). After scoping out the potential caches, and deciding that the 3/3 looked...

I'm skating close to the line with the cache you mention, but I'm also willing to accept the consequence of it being archived. Most people aren't willing to accept that consequence and will get all bent out of shape if their cache gets archived for being buried. I'd certainly hate to see one of the...

They are guidelines, but that one in particular is very much enforced as a rule. If you need a pointy item to hide or retrieve the cache, it's a no-no. Hmmm... does the sensitivity of the area change this rule? For example, one of yours c@w, GCQZPZ, has obviously involved some digging to plant, but...

So, there is some flexibility - they are "guidelines", not "rules" as such?

As a relative new-comer to caching, I am still learning what makes a cache a "good" hide... certainly from the logs on my hides I have built a reasonably good understanding of what cachers like. An ice-cream container under a tree isn't enough, and something more creative is always appreciated. Spec...
