  1. It's obvious from your comment you know nothing about Australia. Alice Springs is not "flat desert" the Macdonell ranges run east to west right through this area and the cache highlights a part of the East Macdonell Ranges, the highest points being 1531m above sea level. My link
  2. Thanks for all your responses. I don't feel so mean now. But as I explained to him an earth cache is meant to be an educational experience, I too could back date lots of earth caches cause I have travelled extensively but I visited these places before I geocached so I don't do this as it's not in the spirit of geocaching.
  3. Not sure if this is the right thread but I would also like your opinion of cachers backdating Earthcaches to a date before it was published. That is: the cacher has been to the site but some 5 years before the earthcache was published. I own the Earthcache Mt Kinabalu GC1B1K1 . Yesterday I had a relatively new cacher with less than 100 finds try to claim this cache. All the answers to the questions were wrong and he couldn't provide the photos that i requested. I explained that armchair caching was not acceptable and that i didn't accept backdated logs. He replied and asked why his log was being deleted and then proceed to relog, three more times, the last with todays date. He seemed totally oblivious to the reason behind an earthcache, he just wanted the find ( its a 5/5) because he had been there at some point in his travels. ohmy.gif I don't believe this is in the spirit of geocaching. Am I being too harsh???? BUT what about all the cachers who have completed this the correct way, climbed the mountain and stopped to find the answers along the way??? Your opinions are welcome.

    Bali

    I'll be in Bali from 19th Jan until the 26th Jan, anyone want to meet up for some caching send me a message.
  7. Me three, it won't work for me either and the last time it ran was two weeks ago. I didn't realise the link gets broken. Are the powers that be aware of this???
  8. I have my Platinum too plus the white pin for finding the very first Earth cache published. So total of 5 pins. Hope the program is extended and more challenges are included.

    Seasons

    Well there are a lot of areas here that would have temperatures around the 32 degree mark, so I suppose we could call this time of the year "Winter" Thats celcius not Farhenheit We use metric in this country.
