Heard recently on the summit of Table Mountain, Cape Town;
"it's thirty meters west - and 300 meters straight down"

Caches that don't contain a pen or pencil when there is clearly heaps of room!

Think outside the dots - the largest cache in our city is a steel box that used to house a - rocket head! Its about 4 feet long and is very popular because of the amount of goodies inside!

By far the most interesting this month is one here called "The Cachers Cache" which actually has an official sign to its position! The sign is made correctly to look like a standard one for High Power Electricity cables, on a short pipe, so people just "see" it and walk by without reading.

I can feel your pain! I would be bummed to wait that long. Luckily around here I think they are checked a couple times a day. Hope it gets published soon!

Thank you all! Its very interesting to see how many people have taken an interest. My first cache was apparently too close to others (about 250m) but I now understand that the minimum distance is 171m - there are certainly a number here that appear closer than 250m. Anyway, these two should be ok in that regard.
In Australia its mid-winter, so cold and currently raining or snowing so I doubt there will be too many out putting in new caches. Can someone confirm if there is (say) one reviewer, for Australian and NZ caches? Or is it a shared workload - I am very conscious that this is a volunteer position so someone could be on holiday or ill of course. Hopefully there is more than one, and that they are local to our country?

Is there an SLA for review of new caches? What is a fair time to wait before sending a note to the reviewer? I have two new caches in place for 6 days now and no message, note or request, - and not Published yet.

It would be nice to find out if the cache is motorcycle friendly meaning that it is way down a dirt road. I am not to keen on riding on dirt on my bike loose dirt is not fun. Trying to save a little gas while out caching.
I take it from this comment, you ride a cruiser or similar, 'cause loose dirt is hella fun on a dirt bike! But I'd also like to know if its a dirt road, so I can choose which bike I use, like yo usay, loose dirt is not so fun on an expensive Harley, and it means you're gonna spend hours cleaning it later.
That's what I was thinking. I got my first motorcycle when I was about 10 years old and spent a *lot* of time riding in loose dirt and mud before I got a drivers license and could ride one on the streets. If I still owned a motorcycle I'd be more interested in having one for geocaching on loose dirt than one for geocaching using city streets.
Absolutely! I ride BMW and Harley Davidson to caches.

You can store up to 5000 caches on the 450.

OK. Ran the query for 100km radius and have 2000 caches which will easily fit on my Montana. What next?

Finding caches that are not managed by the CO. Wet, no room on the log, full. Just rubbish.
And undersized caches. YOU find a grat location for a large cache container with lots of interesting stuff in it!

To me this is a failure of the Geocaching software. As I have placed more and more caches, the email I receive from them is getting huge and tiring. Please change the software so that I can choose to receive emails when someone finds one of my caches but not others.
