Caching
I have a great spot for a geocache. How do I make/register one?

Re: Caching
Hi, and welcome!
All the information you need on how to hide are here: http://wiki.geocaching.com.au/wiki/Hiding_a_cache
Having said that (and assuming that you're new to the game - correct me if you're not) it's also a really good idea to go out and do plenty of caches of different types and in different places before you hide your first. You'll learn a lot and it'll make sure your first hide is one you'll be proud of further down the track. I know my first could've been a lot better if I'd done that! [ ]

Re: Caching
Thanks. I am new. I decided to join when me and my friend found one in Mossman and I thought it would be really awesome to do some for Coogee.

Hi Chemical carnage
Welcome to geocaching sport no obsession !!!! When I did my first hide I tried to read as much as I could before placing the cache i.e how to get the co ords correct ,interesting location,enough and correct amount of information and the difficulty correct. This saves you a whole lot if frustration later if you have to move it cause there is another cache nearby. ( I know I've done it myself...darn )
Enjoy the sport and the thrill of the hide.

Re: Caching
There are some nice caches around the Coogee area... but also some great spots which dont have one yet! Have a look at your local ones and that way you will know which spots are taken, and which great views are still crying out for a cache. If you get any questions from reading the guidelines that you'd like help on (like what are the best containers, hiding hints etc) you have an army of advice here.
