Geocache Description:

Seeking credibility. Want to go and push the envelope of extremes (fiscal, emotional mental and physical) to attain an A4 piece of paper that mean 3/8’s of stuff all to anyone else but yourself and a select few. This is the cache for you!

 

After completing this cache you can stand on the escarpment of your nearest cliff face and scream to the world – “I’m A-DAG, and I’m proud!”. I put to you that hundreds of nearby tourists will agree, but until you show them your highly prized Advanced Diploma or Applied Geocaching, it will be only then will they show their true colours of envy, jealously, greed and disgust.

Nb. After such a display do not leave your diploma in your vehicle (especially in plain sight) in an unattended public car-park.

Nb2. Testing has is inconclusive if the diploma can ”pull chicks”. Tests are still underway.

Important Campus Policy:

We pride ourselves on our EOAEI –(equal opportunity accredited educational institution).  If by chance you are planning to attain this qualification as a MASWF (mature aged student with family) or should you be AItaSD (aged infirmed to a significant degree) then our expert tutors and assessors have designed a SPfoCC. (Special Provisions for Other Cachers Criteria) in that an alternate assessment task can be set and you to can attain you’re A-DAG (Advanced Diploma for Applied Geocaching). These prospective students need to contact the admissions officer listed below.

 

In the News -

Recently our graduates have discovered an affliction coined GTS (‘geo-trad syndrome’) the most obvious sign is common difficulty progressing to caches other than those considered as traditional. Should you know of prospective specimens to study with this affliction we would be happy to have contact from you. Many concerned citizens have approached us and we are happy to announce that preliminary enquiries at this time have found this is not genetic or a contagious affliction. Studies conclude this to be either a physiological or psychological impetus that is shown as a behavioral manifestation. Incidentally we can also cater for GTS suffers seeking to prove to us that they can attain their A-DAG status within the geo-academic community.

 

Family information :

Our Campus – We have found that prospective A-DAG applicants commonly have the affliction addition of a family. We here at the Coolah Campus have allowed for this inconvenience by establishing three small camp grounds with facilities (but no water) nearby. Waiting families members can enjoy our large nightly mown footy / cricket pitch and 180 degree views worth watching for at least three hours while their SO’s (significant others) prospective A-DAG assessment. Being forward thinking and energy conscious- we think buildings and heating are a waste of time, energy and financial resources, so we have no buildings. It’s strictly BYO building or tent. Also clothing, preferably decent and warm, food and everything else the SO told you not to forget. Small cabins are nearby – Contact the officer below for further information.

 

Interested applicants need only apply. For more information contact the bronze admissions officer at: thebronzemailbox@gmail.com .
