Geocaching mentioned on the ABC

Post by rhinogeo » 22 November 09 8:27 am

Geocaching just got a mention on Australia all over 8)

Wendy from QLD called in to comment on the Q150 project and mentioned geocachers as a group of GPS users and the activity as gaining popularity with a couple of Brisbane councils

Macca not surprisingly was too stupid to ask a follow-up question and let geocaching go through to the keeper :roll:

Macca has got to be the radio host with the least personality and worst "personal touch" I've ever heard. Never has anything interesting to say and just offers trite "um yeah great" comments to the most amazing things. Vast majority of country folk seem to love him though, no idea why. He's some inner city clown who can play a guitar by all reports.
The show's been going for 20 years or so. I must be wrong.

If it's any consolation/reassurance, you're not the only one who is wrong. :D

Actually, the radio hosts on the indiginous radio station at Lightning Ridge were a hoot, they sounded so bored with what they were doing! I mean, we missed listening to them after we left cause it was just so dry and funny (To us).

Here is the audio - http://www.utterli.com/u/utt/u-OTk4NjY5OA#OTk4NjY5OA

She mangled the URL at the end, which is http://sssiq150.org/

Interesting project.
