My missus and I recently did a 29 day, close to 9000km caching trip by motorbike, with 372 finds and god only knows how many DNF's on the trip. We also carried a travel bug with us for the entire trip that is owned by a group of school kids from Pennsylvania, which we dropped and retrieved into caches along the way, so they could follow our trip- it was, and is a geography lesson on Australia. We also maintained a blog during the trip. We carried a laptop and mobile broadband modem, and logged caches each night, sometimes up to 30 in a go. I admit a lot were cut and paste entries with the generic info, but then each entry was edited to suit the find or DNF. This was heaps better than in the past, where logging a couple of hundred finds took days and days. Even so, very late nights became common. Cheers Bundy

Theres a cacher in Oz who has over 500 finds without a GPS.

Bones If you do a postcode (zipcode) search using 3000, or sometimes you have to use 3000 Vic, you will get a search based in the middle of Melbourne.

There would be no end to the number of Aussies willing to help you out. You would actually reach a lot more aussie geocachers by going through the Geocaching Australia forums. Geocaching.com.au would be the place. I would be willing to recieve a TB through the mail. Cheers Bundy

Oh dear, an hours drive to get a cache. The closest unfound cache to where I work (which is where I spend more time than at home, literally) is 2 1/2 hours drive away- about 250km away. As for driving to go caching, Mrs Bundy and I are 3 and a bit weeks away from a 6000+ km, 4 and a bit week caching trip on my Kawasaki.

Ok, then try going to "ädvanced search"off the geocaching homepage, then type in the appropriate 5000 postcode in the postcode field, then click seek> it works for me.

Apart from those that were never released (souveniered by someone) does anyone know of any U4DTBs that have not moved very far. I mean those that may finally get to their destinations just in time for the big bang? I ask, because I have just retrieved the U4DTB that I recieved in the mail, destined for Bellaire, USA, released from Gladstone, Queensland Australia. In the nearly 2 years since it was released, it has travelled just over 1000km (600 mile) but I retrieved it from a cache less than 100km (60 mile) from its release point. I will admit that I was, unwittingly, the reason it returned so close to its release point. In the next month or so, I am making sure it takes a giant step. Mrs Bundy and I are off on a 6000+km caching odessy, by motorbike. I am placing this TB is the cache furtherest from where I live. The TB number is TB1BWW0. Cheers Bundy

Message left in the NT section of GCA. Hopefully, you will get some sort of response soon.

Your better off posting in th Geocaching Australia forums. Or you can post it to me, I dont live that far from Darwin, only about 4000km.

If you go to the Geocaching Australia forums (www.geocaching.com.au), and find a Queensland member by the name of OMY130, I know he has one. I intend getting one, as it is waterproof, and is set up from the factory with geocaching in mind. Will be excellent on the bike.

Contact the rental car company. They should have it, or know where it is.

This is a virtual cache, as yet unfound. Only allowed on GCA. http://geocaching.com.au/cache/ga1016

So what are the "white boxes" at the centre of the intersecting lines? The 4 closest to the given coordinates seem to have something there, at 0030, 0200, 0230, and 0800 hrs. Also further afield at 0130, and 2 at 0630 hrs. Identify them, and you may be closer to your answer.

Currently sitting on 649 finds. Current goal is to have 1000 finds by the end on a 6000+km motorcycle caching trip that Mrs Bundy and I are going on in March/April. We have plenty to choose from, with 4 major capital cities and numerous regional centres on the route. I dont get to go caching anywhere near as much as I would like, as my nearest unfound cache to where I spend most of my time- at my workplace, is roughly 2 1/2 hrs drive/ride away. Thats why big caching trips are planned. I suppose my next goal is to attend the first Australian mega event, in 2010. We will combine this into our 2010 annual leave, and extend the trip into another multi thousand kilometre caching trip, currently planned to be Tasmania, which should again be around the 6000km.

I know its been done before, because I stole the idea. I have a cache which is locked, and the key is inside the cache. The challenge is to get the key out.

Its a glitch in the system. Discussed at GCA. Easiest way around it is to add state abbrevations after the postcode, eg 4680 Qld.

Go outside and look at a wheel on your car, now look at the valve stem, where you inflate the tyre, now remove the valve cap, if its there. Now, imagine removing the inner valve stem from inside the valve stem, and replacing it with a log. I have one of those, on a vehicle that is on display beside the road. Found plenty of the brass dog tag caches (like the one beside the penny above) I even have one of them hanging in a mangrove swamp. Cheers Bundy

It was never meant to be a "joke" cache, but it was meant to be humourous, and judging by the logs, I think it has achieved its goal. Dopey is a 2 1/2 ft tall hollow garden gnome, filled with film canisters. Each canister has a note inside, and the one with the log doesnt have a pen, so when shaken, all the canisters sound the same. If I remember correctly, there is about 60 canisters inside. http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_detai...88-1990abf9128c Cheers Bundy

Coyote, make sure you look for their sequel, Long Way Down, where they rode from John-O-Grotes in the UK, to Cape Town in South Africa. I have both series on DVD.

Its not one I've tried to find, as its one I own. The Wailing Wall, http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_detai...a7-12e86d9eb6ec Its a 25mm (1 inch) irrigation hose riser about 300mm (12 inches) long, with a rock glued to the end. It is inserted perpendicularly into the wall. Its in there somewhere. What isnt really easy to see is that each of the "steps" is about 24 inches wide. Cheers Bundy

Team Falling Numerals are from Cairns, which is a little closer to the GBR, than what Rocky is. I actually have a cache out on the reef, but its a GCA cache only, as it cant be listed on GC.com.

I asked the same at GCA. Some sort of glitch in GC system. Adding the state works well.

I own a christmas themed cache (Santas little helper) It has survived over 2 years. It was all about the container, and the vista from GZ, which is roughly in the middle of a very large heavy industry area, with all its associated lights sparkling away. The container http://img.geocaching.com/cache/log/d85f6f...49ec7729f07.jpg The cache http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_detai...=y&decrypt= Cheers Bundy

Looks like its all fixed. And NOOOOOOOOO, no more poms over here, even if it is NSW. Cheers Bundy
