No-one has found mine yet either!
Mind you, I think mine is the only Urban Adelaide GCA cache there is!

:-k
It occurred to me that there is no reason to stop the GCA 10th Anniversary celebrations until 18/5/2011.
To that end my movable cache GA2055 Hide & Seek, which has already been moved has been replaced with a new movable cache at the original starting point in Blast Furnace Park, Lithgow, the new one is GA2229 Cache-cache, and this will be replaced when moved and so on for the next 12 months or until I give up!
It will be interesting to see how many caches I have to make to keep up.
:shock:

Or until someone keeps moving them back to the original hide... :twisted:

Movable cache #2 has been picked up and has been replaced by movable cache #3 GA2231 Versteckspiel, that's German for Hide and Seek.
OK people go and get it and make me replace it with another one!

If you want a GCA 10th Anniversary Pathtag I have just put one in GA2021 Lest We Forget.
Go get it while you can!

So how many 10th anniversary caches remain unfound? One not a million miles from me (Wendoree Where) has been found at last. Was thinking of a special trip for it but didn't get a round tuit.

The closest to Sydney I've found is this one:
http://geocaching.com.au/cache/ga1879
And it's a couple of hundred kms north.

Well I will be up at Forster late August, so it could be a chance if still unfound!

That's it the 12 months are up and this self replicating cache has been replaced 13 times, the last reincarnation has been picked up today.
So no more will be created, an average of over 1 a month not too bad for an out of the way place like Lithgow.
A big thank you to all the cachers who made the effort of coming this way and picking up these movable caches.

Hard to believe it's 12 months! Seems longer really.
Have picked up a few of the "Hide and Seek" movables thanks to rogerw3 - not from Lithgow but Sydney and have moved them on.

How many anniversary caches have never been found?

:cry:
All of my 10th Anniversary caches have been found, but
10-4 Srs3 Dam has been found only once!
10-1 Srs3 Hartley Vale has been found twice only!

But overall I have been very pleased with the find rate on the 10th Anniversary caches, although it has to be said the find rate has dropped off in the last 6 months, I guess the novelty factor has worn off.

I wonder if we could get some competition going along the lines of "How many GCA caches can you find?"

:D
