Games & Recreation Geocaching

[Frank Bunn]

People round the world have hidden little containers in the countryside then put clues as to their location on a website. There are plenty in Australia. When you find one you can sign the little book, leave a token and give feedback on the website. They are mostly in picturesque areas so you can make a walk, hike or bike ride out of it. It's good exercise and fun for all the family.

Under stage 4 lockdown you can leave the house for these reasons:

1. Essential food shopping
2. Getting or giving care
3. Going to/from work
4. Exercise
5. Geocaching

Are the hidden little containers sanitised before and after ?

The ones we have found were marked as previously found several days ago so it's unlikely they were infected. But we sanitised our hands before and after anyway.

I can remember this being around in 2002

You sure you're not just digging up "time capsules" buried before the millenium?

You might hit a weapons cache that one of the RWNJs buried back when little Johnnie changed the gun laws

U can do this with your kids
Set out early and set it all up and do a treasure map kinda thing with clues.
Then get them to follow it and watch for signs on trees youve put up, certian markers etc etc and have a small pressie at the end.

Or Saddam's WMD's we never found those bad boys either. Maybe the Rodent thought they were hidden here.

Here's another activity "burbing"

Tour de Reservoir: 'Burbing' cyclists take on all the streets they can

Reservoir is a big suburb with lots of streets. Liam Vaughan isn't sure exactly how many, except that it's in the hundreds - and he's ridden all of them.
