Lord Howe Island

[+AlternateRoute]

I have just had a look at the geocaching site and realised there are no cahces on Lord Howe Island.

Don't any cachers live there?

Don't cachers go on holidays there?

Someone need to put one there!

With only 350 permanent residents on the island, i don't like the chances of a cacher living there.

 

With Lord Howe Island being World heritage listed, and being part of NSW, i would think that the reviewers would not allow any cachers to be listed in many parts of the Island.

As for the holiday part, last time I looked at flights I was so outraged at the prices we ended up flying to Vanuatu instead as it was cheaper!

 

Looks like a nice place to visit but (just checked current prices) for $2640 return flight for two adults there are a lot of cheaper places to go. Vanuatu was $900 return for two for example.

there should be no reason you could not hide a cache on the island. The majority of it would certainly not be damaged by cachers walking over the area etc.

We've been a couple of times before we knew about geocaching but have friends that cache that have a chance at going there this year so i'll tell them to hide something.... hmmmmm, i can already think of two good spots.

I hope your friend is going there to live or will be returning regularly in order to maintain the cache if required.
