What impact is that going to have on caching in Australia?

There's already a thread about this.

OK - I looked, and never know how on earth everyone always finds all these previous links because I never seem to see them, but ignore this then.

Short answer: it won't have any practical effect in the short term.

I posted that other thread as a bit of a laugh, things have been getting pretty serious in general geocaching topics lately.

 

It won't have any effect on geocaching, when a CO places a cache he takes the coordinates and then you return to those coordinates. Since geocaching began we've moved a little over a meter, a distance that's really to small for standard geocaching gear to distinguish.

I think No effect in the short term

Not even after 4.5 years after the previous post in this thread

Not Even Then

I think 4.5 years was a good amount of time for DARKSIDEDAN to study the after effects of the switch.

The over-correction means Australia's local co-ordinates and the Earth's global co-ordinates will align in 2020. At that point a new system, which can take changes over time into account, will be implemented.

 

Woohoo..!
