+Carbon Hunter Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 (edited) I always like placing (and finding) caches that show me something i may not have known about before. In doing research I have come across a few interesting sites. I thought I'd start a thread that can be used by cachers looking for some ideas. I'll just add the link with a few words on the content. SA War Graves Site: http://www.southafricawargraves.org/index.htm Some interesting stories and facts on the Durban Area: http://www.fad.co.za/ ANZAC War Memorial in Brakpan http://www.allatsea.co.za/cems/anzacmemorial.htm - not sure where this is or how safe it is - but should deserve a cache?

+DamhuisClan Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 ANZAC War Memorial in Brakpan http://www.allatsea.co.za/cems/anzacmemorial.htm - not sure where this is or how safe it is - but should deserve a cache? 1922 Miners strike Victims by Iddes (1.5/1) S26° 13.062 E28° 21.291 GCZEWZ The cache is quite secluded, so one has to be careful when visiting it. This is another example of a memorial which is being neglected. Quote Link to comment

+Carbon Hunter Posted August 3, 2010 Author Share Posted August 3, 2010 Just found this site: http://www.9key.com/selector.asp - which can add some useful icons to caches. And then for those who do not know the cache flag page counter: http://flagcounter.com/more/3yof And to add a checker for puzzle or multi caches: http://www.geochecker.com/index.php?code=b...275204468616269 Quote Link to comment
