Re: Scouting Cachers
We will be there on Visiting day (9/1/10) too, to visit Geoson/Scout. We put our registration in a bit late, but we still got accepted, so it may not be too late, especially if you have a son or daughter going.
I'll wear my Geocaching cap and see if anyone says hello. Might be fun to find a cache or two, inside or outside.
Hmm, I wonder who that well known Melbourne cacher is?

Re: Scouting Cachers
I wonder if by setting up the GCA Event Cache - GA1702 for the Jamboree that will give away which lanky cacher is being referred to.
As always, the fun part of the Jamboree events is seeing a number of cachers identified in person, and finding out that there's quite an overlap with Scouting!
Note that though I've picked a spot (just outside my Jamboree office - I'm Radio Station Manager for JNN 103.7FM) for the event, that may not be the final location, so more details will be posted back here soon.

Re: Scouting Cachers
Just today, we attended a parents briefing regarding AJ2010. (Got home late and missed the movable cache 700m from our door). It's going to be a gigantic (scouting) event and I believe something like 12,000 visitors are expected on the 9th. Should be a cacher or two amongst them I would think.Partic wrote:I wonder if by setting up the GCA Event Cache - GA1702 for the Jamboree that will give away which lanky cacher is being referred to.

Re: Scouting Cachers
Our allocated arrival time is 1200. I expect our first duty will be to find Geoson and maybe join him or the troop (422) for lunch, so we could probably not make it earlier than 1300. A late or flexible event time would suit us.

Re: Scouting Cachers
Spent part of this morning planning for our week stay somewhere south of AJ2010. Lots of nice hidey holes. Daughter is in Troop 414.

Re: Scouting Cachers

Re: Scouting Cachers
We're staying around Mittagong (1/2 hr south of Jamboree) for the week, leaving the 11th to go back home. Happy to meet up with anyone pre/post event for dinner or drinks anytime. Ph number on profile. Won't be caching much, there to see the sights & if there's a cache, we'll go for it.
See you all down there - Geoff

Re: Scouting Cachers
I can't wait to get there and meet u all....
Could we have a get together on the second evening? (5/1/10 7pm) suggestions as to where could be the same as the event cache????
I am thinking of a caching inside cataract in an informal fashon (not in camps but could be fun for those captive on site) with co-ords on a white board or the like????

Re: Scouting Cachers
There is a geocaching activity already being run inside the camp. I volunteered my services to the organiser, but I did not ever hear back from him... I am quite interested to see how he pulled it all together!MC KENNA wrote:I can't wait to get there and meet u all....

Re: Scouting Cachers
I saw the event and registered but thought that is several days in. I though a getogether and maybe some on site caching could be fun in the evenings. just not in camp sites. It would be a limited affair as scout would not have brought their GPS (we hope).

Re: Scouting Cachers
I meant to hide a couple of caches yesterday whilst I was up at Cataract, but I ran out of time. Hopefully they will make it out of the car this evening!
Re: Scouting Cachers
Hi Hoojar,
time's nearly run out! Hopefully they are in walking distance?
best wishes,
Wal (staying with Troop 1009).

Re: Scouting Cachers
Posted last night, but it seems the forum didn't like it.
In short: Taylorbrats will be there - two of us in Troop #108 - See you at the event.
