Great little article there - And very cute to see them 'hunting' a cache which we had the pleasure of doing on a previous trip over (although I don't remember that ammo box being there!!)

Well done, a few less non-magic folk now .. I can see kids in schools across the country asking their teachers .. can we do that!
I'm going to head into the city and see if I can find that ammo box now!

Re: Geocaching on BTN Extra - ABC3
Another that wanted to say thanks for posting this
Finally the kids were able to show their classes what on earth they were on about each time they mentioned caching, I stuck the file on a USB stick and the whole class watched the segment on the interactive whiteboard.
