+Studit Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 I am from Sale, Victoria, Australia and I would like to know if anyone would like to join me in setting up a "Wormhole Cache". I have plans for a specific cache that is not up and running yet. PM me if you are interested. Stuart Quote Link to comment
+Cedar Grove Seekers Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 What's a wormhole cache and how does it work? Quote Link to comment
+Scouters Fred and Brenda Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 Is a Wormhole like a Stargate or Postal Cache Quote Link to comment
+Juicepig Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 Wormhole = TB Prison with the condition that you will be transporting any bugs from here long distances Quote Link to comment
J'nK Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 Why would you be posting this in the Canada thread? Is a worm hole cache some kind of cache that you would place in Austrailia then send the the stuff to Canada somehow? Quote Link to comment
+Landsharkz Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 I think we have one in Canada already. It's in ON and we got a trackable to Germany in a big leap. It certainly had no resemblance to a prison by any means. Quote Link to comment
+Studit Posted October 10, 2009 Author Share Posted October 10, 2009 I got a few PM resposes and noe of them have panned out. A wormhole cache is where a TB is placed inside. The TB is then collected by the cahce owner (or delegate) and quickly sent by post - or any other rapid means to another cache. http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_detai...60-cdda545ed1c3 It is similar to a stargate cache but only has a netwok of 2 caches (if that can be a network. I was hoping to get one set up between Australia and Canada. It will take a littel commitment. Quote Link to comment

Also, wouldn't the postage add up in a hurry? Quote Link to comment
+Studit Posted October 11, 2009 Author Share Posted October 11, 2009 Postage will add up, but it depends on how often we choose to correspond - weekly or fortnightly. I won't be posting anything that's too heavy. I would also contact the owners of any TBs that might enter the cache to make sure that they are happy with the overseas trip. For me to send a letter to Canada between 125g & 250g is A$6.30. A parcel up to 250g is A$9.30. If you can squash the TB fairly flat you can save $3.00. Not sure about postage from your end. The cache age doesn't really matter to me. A new cache tends to attract a lot of activity before things settle down so the mail might be fairly busy to start with. There is a little bit of a commitment (financial and time) required so you might ask why? I'm looking for something a little different. Quote Link to comment
+doingitoldschool Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 We own a cache right here at work, where I drop my picked up TB's all the time. However, the cost for mailing even every two weeks is just a bit high. Sorry, I do hope this does work out, it seems like a great idea. Quote Link to comment

modernman Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 I'm in Queens, New York and have a cache, alien invasion (http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?guid=d20d3a09-8b6d-4339-824d-ae3775d9972b) only a few blocks from my house. If you can't get anyone in Canada to do this I'd be willing to give it a try. Personally, I think sending items every month might be a little more manageable. Also if anyone else thinks this would be an interesting idea and would like to setup a wormhole partnership please let me know. Quote Link to comment
