Geez, how's a visitor to find some Oz geopals around here?

Sorry to butt in here, but I'm visiting Oz next week (actually in just a few days) and...

 

It doesn't look like there's much activity here in the Australian gc.com forums. I also tried peering into some of the .au geocaching sites, but of course can't post anything there.

 

Question is simple: Is there anybody in Sydney (or Port Macquarie, or Byron Bay, or Noosa, or Hervey Bay where I plan to be over the next near month) that might like to show me the Oz georopes/point me to the best caches in Sydney, etc.?

 

In the past, I've met up with geocachers in many of my travels, e.g. a couple of lads for a full day in Taipei, a whole group in Amsterdam on my 12 hour layover there, etc.

 

It's one of the things I like best about geocaching - meeting up with cachers all over the globe.

 

I'm originally from Seattle (with 1k+ finds) but have been living in Vietnam for the past year.

 

I can only imagine that you Aussies are RABID geocachers. So... where is everybody???

Thanks Matt/Craig - I just registered there, but alas now I must wait til I pass muster...

 

Interestingly, I'm doing a bunch of couchsurfing (couchsurfing.com) in Oz, and I've already fallen into TWO different hosts that are geocachers in the Byron Bay area!

 

As for Sydney, yes Matt, please point me to a bookmark list of "best caches" else drop a couple of gc codes and I'll look them up. If it's anything like Seattle (the geocaching capital of the world, after all) ;) There's probably names of local cachers that are reliably the most creative hiders. Dayspring in Seattle is a sheer genius - if you ever get there, don't miss his caches.

 

Thanks again.
