Sounds like Drop Dead Gorgeous in the Blue Mtns.

I can just imagine the 2Dogs loading up the old car with a cache in it before setting it on fire Viking-style and pushing it over a cliff! That would make for a 5/5 that's for sure! :mrgreen:

With 50 fav points that looks dismal compared to Germany and the USA.

In Germany, there is a total of 1934 caches that have 50 favourite points or more.

It may be the top in Australia, but it certainly aint the top of the world.
HEY!!

Stop calling our "Unexpected" cache dismal!!! :wink:

(Just joking) :lol:

The Black Mesa Invasion - I'd say among the 100 caches I've placed it's one of the best.

I see The Black Mesa Airdrop has maintained its 100% fav rating too, and it's now 10 months old.

That's a bit ridiculous :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Back on topic: A lot of the US / DE caches with high fav-points are kind of a self-fulfilling prophecy. If they get above a certain threshold, they show up on the radar of cachers further away which attracts more visits and more fav-points. Germany is a very dense populated country also in terms of Geocachers. Nowadays it's barely impossible not to run into fellow cachers on the weekend. In my opinion these high fav-numbers are a symptom that the whole thing got out of hand and there is way too much traffic with all the negative side-effects (but that is another discussion).
