Geocaching Australia

The Apps I have found useful for Geocaching on my Garmin Asus A50 are: WhereYouGo - A great app that allows you to do Where I Go caches. The official Geocaching.com app GeoHunter - Actually use this one for multi's as it easy to edit the location of the waypoint to the next one. Hintdecoder Code Tab...

We intend to come at this stage (2xadults) although we will possibly be living in another state by then and have no idea what leave at a new work will be available. Being self contained in a van we will have by then and gypsies at heart, we have no problems shifting campgrounds at a drop of a hat an...

We managed to get two extremes of log verbosity on the same day for two of our caches.
One had 646 words, while the other was not even 1 word, but an all time record for us of 1 letter

Just used the A50 recently for doing some Where I Go caches using the free 'WhereYouGo' and worked perfectly.

One more night cache to add to the list in Adelaide:

Nice hide, had me going for a minute or two."

We are looking for an in car GPS for general navigating around to caches instead of using our Garmin Legend or Oregon 300. What we do like on those however, is the display of geocaches on the map as we drive along or zoom out. I have heard of some in car GPSs where you download geocaches as POIs and...

At least it keeps all the muggles away in parks.

Hey, that looks a picture I have from a trip overseas.

Another one in Adelaide - Night Owls GC1YHNY

SA :

Will o' the Wisp - GC1KM3W
The Night Has a Thousand Eyes - GC1GN41
