Geocaching/Geoteaming

Gday Will,
Did a bit of Geocaching a while back, maybe a year or 2, it was actualy a lot of fun, great way to find other camping spots, or just nice places to visit for the day, and to top it off the kids actualy loved it, they were looking forward to finding the cache and picking something out of it, we used to carry a large tub filled with things to replace what we took.....its still in the garage, saw it today when doing a much needed clean up. Now the the youngest is nearly 3 and has more energy than me, we might just get back into it, its also a great way to familiarise yourself with your GPS.
if you are thinking about doing it id say go for it, any excuse to get out is a good one, just grab a few things from maybe the $2 shop so if you do find one you have something to put back in, I know you dont have to, you can just sign the book, but if you have kids theyll want something from the "treasure" and if it means the kids are asking when we will be going for a drive again and doing another one, then im all for it!.......good family fun

I placed a couple of caches when I went into the desert last year. They were at Nichols Knob, and Helena Spring. Argueably the two most remote caches placed in Australia. You can see a map of all the Australian caches HERE
I've really only a basic (and perhaps passing) interest in Geocaching, I placed the caches to try and provoke a bit of a challenge, which has so far not happened.

Will, my family and I had our 1st try at geocaching this long weekend in Victoria and we searched for 4 multi caches and found 3 of them. Not bad at absolute novices I suppose.
We had an absolute ball and the kids just loved exchanging toys with whatever was in the cache. We had a stack of plastic/rubber insects to exchange so we chose our team name of "Da Bugs"
Regards Andrew.
