Have you ICEM?
What is ICEM I hear you ask? Well, lucky for you, here at Geocaching Australia we know. That would be because ICEM stands for I’ve Cached Everywhere Man and is a series of Geocaching Australia caches that started to be released in late 2011.
The idea was, and still is, to place at least one Geocaching Australia physical cache in every location mentioned and made famous by Lucky Star in the song "I've been everywhere" in 1962, lyrics by Geoff Mack. It would appear though, that "I haven't exactly been everywhere" and so verses 5, 6 and 7 have been added by Geocaching Australia cachers, Hookline and Trigg-A-Nomics to cover Western Australia, South Australia, Northern Territory and Tasmania. The community's thanks go to those geocachers for helping to cover most of the populated (and less populated) parts of Australia.

Since 2011 we’ve had caches published representing approx 76 of the 163 locations mentioned in the lyrics. Unfortunately, over time we’ve had approx 23 of these caches archived, leaving just 58 still active.
Our goal now is to give this series a boost and try to increase those 58 caches, and give the country a few more cache hides. Can you help?
We need caches published in these locations:
Tullamore, Seymour, Mooloolaba, Nambour, Maroochydore, Kilmore, Murwillumbah, Birdsville, Emmaville, Wallaville, Cunnamulla, Condamine, Strathpine, Proserpine, Ulladulla, Gin Gin, Muckadilla, Wallumbilla, Boggabilla, Kumbarilla.
Moree, Taree, Jerilderie, Bambaroo, Toowoomba, Woolloomooloo, Dalveen, Jindabyne, Lithgow, Casino, Brigalow, Narromine, Wyong, Tuggerawong, Morella, Augathella, Brindabella.
Geelong, Mullumbimby, Molong, Grong Grong, Yarra Yarra, Boroondara, Wallangarra, Turramurra, Boggabri, Gundagai, Narrabri, Tibooburra, Gulgong, Adelong, Billabong, Cabramatta, Coolangatta.
Ettalong, Ballarat, Canberra, Milperra, Unanderra, Captain's Flat, Cloncurry, Kurri Kurri, Girraween, Terrigal, Stockinbingal, Collaroy, Narrabeen, Dorrigo, Indooroopilly, Kirribilli, Yeerongpilly, Wollondilly.
Corrigin, Carnarvon, Kalbarri, Geraldton, Burrup, Manjimup, Munglinup, Meekatharra, Peedamulla, Albany, Jindalee, Yalgoo, Mingenew, Ningaloo.
Swansea, Berriedale, Bicheno, Rosebery, Cockle Creek, Winnaleah, Wayatinah.
Tarlee, Marree, Waikerie, Yongala, Terowie, Nangwarry, Barmera, Woomera, Virginia, Wudinna, Alice Springs, Spalding, Tennant Creek, Oodnadatta, Buckleboo, Orroroo!
The caches hidden should be within the general area of the location, anywhere within the Post Code area or within 50klm of the CBD is a good guide.
To assist cachers find all ICEM caches via a 'my query', the format of the name title should be:
Place name – ICEM e.g. Lismore – ICEM. or ICEM – Place name e.g. ICEM – Lismore
As well, please remember to add ICEM to the Public Tags on your geocache.
Imagine if we covered 99% of the places mentioned in the song. Would certainly give us all a few more caches to look for when travelling around....and maybe we could say…. I’ve Cached Everywhere Man.
