Geocaching Australia

Holy cow! There oughta be a health warning on that thing if you've got the volume up more than about 30% !!

Yeah yeah ... we were sucked in too

Hmm ... screen goo kit for US$200 plus p&p, or go to your local Spotlight store and grab some thermal backing for about $8-10/m? Worked for us a couple of years ago ... even if it did take three trips to Bunnings to get the right number of brackets for the frame

Attended a gathering earlier in the week where several new 'coins' were set loose - was amazed to see seveal people with rather heavy binders full of geocoins they'd collected. The coins here seem to be evolving into two distinct types - the traditional TB style that can be tracked online, and a 'ch...

... Means your bug's finders will always know what it's doing ... Unless your bug has miraculously achieved its goal, and subsequently gets re-assigned :) Smurf's sister GeoJo has a travel bug on his way to Liverpool, but we've managed to encourage fellow cachers to bring him up to Seattle to visit...

Feeds work find in Maxthon - thanks guys.

Just tried out the new site features - great stuff!
