Well that was a bit of a fizzer :?

Waited all this time for a 90km round trip for one cache on top of a mountain - admittedly great views though =D>

The next nearest one is a 2 hour climb up South Brother :cry:

AW heck, all these new Caches around the country and the only two near me are the ones I put there.

Oh well these things happen.

Sounds a little bit like me :)
Great to see the huge boost in GCA numbers though.

What are the odds that in all of Australia, two caches end up being hidden for the same day in the same location.
Well, you can call it a 2-for-1.

I had a sneaking suspicion that this may have occured to some extent somewhere today :P

Actually they are about 4m from each other, that's almost miles!
I have just come back from a walk up the hill to GA2161 to claim the FTF, not much of a challenge as I knew where it was, I had considered this particular hidey hole then went for the other spot.
Still a great event, this has been fun.

Was supposed to be working at home as I watched the rain come down in Sydney. Bugger it! No one seems to be logging these local caches so I'll go out for a bit. First find: beaten to it. Second find: beaten to it. Third find: FTF!
Note the hider who beat me to the first two caches was the placer of the third! But the third cache was Lane Cove 2010 which was outside the park a mere 350 m from the original. Great idea for a cache placement. Of course while there I wandered into the park to log the original (virtual) cache on the 10 anniversary. Not the best day for it but I was glad that I managed it.
Was back home within 90 minutes.

Can we get it to 300 with impulse caches?

Have I missed something or is the empty anniversary thermometer on the home page waiting to be gradually filled with 20th anniversary caches? At least I hope it will be 20th as statistically I won't be alive for the 25th :cry:

I thought it was going to fill up as the FTFs came in!

I got 2 FTF on the 10th anniversary caches and 1 Silver was happy with that. Also cleaned up 5 Trig Points in the area as well so had a good day.

I got a GC find that popped up 250 metres from the GCA Anniversary cache I was logging at the time...
