Hello Deaf Geocachers?
Hello Deaf Geocachers?
Hi There
I'm a Deaf person in Western Australia who loves Geocaching and wondered if there are any other deaf people around the world the same as me! I know of one other Deaf person here in Oz (Australia) who is hooked on geocaching too. If you are Deaf please let me know and we can share experiences.
Cheers!

Actually, Geocaching is one of the few activities where my hearing problem doesn't matter. There are a few little things, like I'll keep looking after someone declares they've found it
, and advantages too, like I can keep walking even though the others might be calling me to stop for a rest and they just think I can't hear them ![Wink :wink:](./images/smilies/icon_wink.gif)

Having had the pleasure of meeting 'Everlasting' and her sister 'Sebavo' who I might add is deaf and is a cacher you couldn't meet 2 lovelier ladies.<P>One hurdle I found when I was in contact with the ladies was that you or they cant ring for a clue/hint on a particular cache. Everything had to be done by text or email and as we all know detail can often be left out when texting. This wasn't a huge hurdle but one that us people who can hear often take for granted.<P>Nice to have met you Everlasting.

Hi there Deaf Geocachers...
I must admit... I think I surprised Everlasting when I met her and a friend or hers from Qld and started signing... I have learnt a little Auslan and my dad has completed the TAFE course for Auslan, so that helps...
I would love to meat deaf cachers in Qld, Australia, & over the world...
maybe we can have a no speaking event in Qld in January ?!?!

Lambchops keeps telling me that I'm deaf because I never seem to listen to what she says ![Speak to the Hand =;](./images/smilies/eusa_hand.gif)
