I like this, it is still aussie enough, with the colours making a visual connection to both sites.

My only question is, if you are going to have some blank coins made for the GCA site, Will that also mean that the geocaching.com bit will also be blank? if so then I'll purchase some.

On the topic of coins, I thought I'd throw my 2 cents in..
 
 
I like the geocaching australia logo for the coin. It would be an awesome way to promote the site and geocaching in Australia. We didn't find out about the geocaching australia site for about a year or so after starting to cache, and we still now only use it for the forums. This would be a great way to show newbies to the sport that there is an Australian geocaching community out there. 
It would be great to have a coin that could be tracked on both sites so that if they travelled overseas they could be logged and collected. I've seen heaps of coins that are tracked on GC.com but have references to their own group/state's geocaching website. Why do we have to be different? If they were GCA only coins then what would the point of putting them in GC caches be? If you were going to make GCA only coins, make them wooden nickles, so people can keep them, log them on GCA if they want or use as a trade item. 
Thats all from me anyway.

Do they have to be coins at all.

I suggest trackable travel cups!

They may bring world peace.

I thought the Aussie map with the colours that Swampy did was excellent, I also think the Aussie map with the Aussie flag in it by TLC was great, and I liked the green map one TLC did as well.

i like the map of Aussie but i would prefer the flag be more of a 2D style rather than a 3D

as for having each state outlined i think there is no need as for the reason in our anthem "We are one"

and you can't get more of an Australian Geocoin then that

what would be better is if i could release my first coin into the wild world of caches on Australia day

Isn't that the one you listen to when you are on hold for 15 min on a pay phone ringing that large company (who own the rights for that song) to come and fix your land line

We are one, but we are many
And from all the lands on earth we come
We share a dream and sing with one voice:
I am, you are, we are Geocachers!

Probably if you want to pay Bruce Woodley and Dobe Newton for permission
