I was looking for a GA stash note - however it appears that the "A variety of sizes, made for Australia. (Thanks to dak's Emu Mob)" link is broken?

Crystal warrior and I have prepared our moveable cache and it's ready to go. While we are happy to win any of the prizes, we'd particularly like to win the most moves for this one. :lol: It lends itself to short, quick hops!

Let the race begin!

Just a heads up. Some caches for the race are still in DRAFT mode.

To prepare it for automatic release on 1/1/2009, please go to your cache page and on the top right, click on Log this Cache.
Set the date to 1/12/2009.
Select a log type of Published.
Enter some text.
Hit the Log button at the bottom of the page.

If you now visit your cache again you should see the name of the cache in green indicating it will be published in the future by the GCA website.

Your cache will now be placed into a future publish mode, ready for 1st Decmeber.
On 1/12/2009 at around 00:01 the GCA website will automatically publish your cache as long as you have the publish log as described above.

If the name of your cache is still in GREY, it is NOT yet ready for publication. You can manually publish your cache on 1/12/2009 by setting a publish log with a date of 1/12/2009, but if you do as described above, it will be automatically done for you.

Your cache will be disqualified because it was published before 1-Dec-2009.
To avoid that, I'm going to set it to future publish on 1-Dec-2009.
Be not surprised when that happens.
I set the publish date for 1st December but it had a hidden date of whatever it was :shock:

Wouldnt help any one as I am not putting it in the cache until Monday night :lol:

Does 00:01 mean the server time? ie with or without daylight saving?

I think it's going to be without the daylight saving so that means (for NSW and VIC) 1am in the morning I think? I know for a fact that my alarm can't be set for this time becasue my body clock is too deeply asleep to be woken :D

But that's ok, all you guys can get up in the middle of the night and fight over who's going to be first to find and move my cache :lol:

AEST. That's a bit earlier in the west and possibly a bit later in the north of east. For Vic and NSW (not sure about Tas) this will be 00:01 AEST. SA will get them 30 minutes before their midnight.

Is it possible to get a Map of the travels our caches have done ? Similar to that of a TB on GC, or will we be able to see them on the caching games site? :-k

Is there a way to see - when the game starts - what cache is where? I mean, a current listing of MCR caches per state? Or will I have to go to each individual listing?
(If that makes sense)
