GeoCaching

Bloody hell Alan,

I'd have more luck getting to mars than I would have reaching some of the spots you've been! What hope do we have lol.

Cheers. Mick.

How did you go with Willem's exploroz sticker challenge? I forgot to take one with me so I am out of the race.....

Embarrassingly, I must confess my ignorance here. Have you got a post number? I can glean the gist of it from the idea but wasn't aware of it. Sounds like a project for 2010.

Cheers. Mick

Hi Equinox..at least we had a go..lol..next time i will prepare myself for the 30km trek/walk, i certainly wont attempt to drive in again.!But a perfect example of what Geocaching is about, i dont think we would have spent the two nights camping where we did if it wernt for attempting this one.

Also on that trip we stopped at a spot off the Central road between Laverton and Cosmo Newberry, no signposts to a fantastic spot, breakaway country at its finest, it also demonstrates perfectly what Geocaching is all about, this link takes you to the cache page (you may have to register to view ..not sure, but its free to do so)

Thats it, at least you had a go.

Looks like a nice spot there - interesting to read some of the comments.

Cheers

Here's a clue.....(and forget about a track!)

Image Could Not Be Found

Awesome that you have left a few around the place, be aware though, that digging is a bit of a no no. Covering with rock, bark, leaves etc is ok, but they dont allow digging, mainly to protect the environment. Probably not such a big deal out in the real outback, but they have to have rules across the board, and digging to hide becomes an issue closer to cities/towns and in protected areas etc.

Make sure to register sometime, so we can go out and hunt them down. There are also some requirements on initial contents, one of which is a laminated GC Card which identifies it as a geocache, in case a ranger or the like comes across it.

If you hide the cache more than 160 kms from your home it might not get approved by the reviewers.

Skippy

I must admit, its not something i have given much thought to, i have looked at it on a few sites, might look further once we start our big trip out and about...Although having said that, cacheing takes up a lot of my time, not sure how the boss would react......

The sad part of the Degree Confluence Project, is that not enough Australians know of this great project, and many Australian Confluence are first claimed by travellers from overseas.
My thoughts are that Australia is the best country in the world, just made for our four wheel drive vehicles. We all love our pride and joy and if you do not want to get a few scratches on them, go and but a Falcon or Commodore and stick to the black top.
Since I have been involved in the project, we have seen some unreal bush country.

Give it a go, there are some very easy confluences to track down. Who cares if you are not the first, it is still great fun. If you check out some of the confluences, say in the USA or the UK, many have been visited many times. Check out some of the Australian confluences and you will see just how few visits are recorded.

Like the one called "Mulga Breakaway" An Awesome spot.
