I'm New to Geocaching

[Loey5150]

Hi there,
I'm a newby. I would like to know how to get started.
I learned about it from some friends.
I've read how to find the geocaches, but not sure on exactly what to do first
How do I label what I want to put into my cache ?
I am travelling this year & I would like to take part in the overseas geocaching too.
I would appreciate some help please as I am bookcrosser & postcrosser.

Many thanks

Where in Australia are you? Im sure someone would be able to meet up with you to go through some things but we are obviously well spread out

Hi FelixII,
Thanks for your reply, I am in Springwood Queensland.

Hello Loey5150,
Here's a couple of links from this site that might get you started:

Guru's: Find a cacher local to you to give you a hand. http://geocaching.com.au/search/gurus/

Wiki: Some guides that answered some of the common questions. http://wiki.geocaching.com.au/wiki/Main_Page

Keep an eye out for any local events. There a great place to meet fellow cachers, ask questions and maybe get a few hints for those tricker hides.

Don't hesitate to come back here either.

Good luck.

Hi Loey5150 - welcome to geocaching. You will find quite a few caching teams that live near Springwood hang out on the Geocaching Brisbane facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/home.php#!/gro ... 436932974/ We know of a few teams out that way who are really friendly and would likely be more than happy to help out.
