Here's a good source info.
<br>
An earth cache can be as large as the physical earth feature e.g. a volcano.
<br>
A micro container has no real set down size but is generally accepted as being between a small pill bottle and a 100ml container. There is a smaller container size called a nano (often a small magnetic or metal container with <15ml capacity).

Wecome to the forum Taffy. There is always a local guru to help you out. Look here http://geocaching.com.au/search/gurus/<p>
You could also come along to a local event. Try the one on 9th Jan @ Albany Creek.

I presume you are in Brisbane based on your location.

The microcache entry needs updating, as it still has it as the smallest cache size (which is only true on GC not GCA)
I'd've edited myself, but I need to find my login again!
