They often say life is about the journey, not the destination; but with geocaching, we say it’s both! With over 3 million geocaches around the world. The adventure begins with navigating to the geocache location, then there’s the big “ah-ha!” moment when you find the geocache! The journey doesn’t end there though, so we’re listing out five steps we recommend once you’ve made a find. Are you completing all five?
- Sign the logbook in the geocache. You should always carry a pen/pencil. Every Physical geocache has got a log and it’s just as important to sign the physical log as it is to post your log in the Geocaching® app. Signing the geocache log validates your visit! If you don't sign, then post a note till you return.
- Scenic view? Fun trail? Group shot? Take a photo to include with your log! Photos can be uploaded to your log right from the app. However NEVER add a spoiler. The next person should have the same experience.
- Log your find in the Geocaching® app! If you’re not logging your find in the field, save it as a draft and include a few notes about your journey to the geocache that you can use to jog your memory later. Remember to NOT include spoiler comments in your log!
- Give it a Favorite point! Premium members can award Favorite points to w-o-w geocaches to let other cachers know it’s something special.
- Place the geocache back where you found it so the next cacher can experience the same finders-joy! Remember to respect your surroundings, whether that’s flora, fauna, or others around enjoying the outdoors.
This cache introduces you to what was a little known Plantation which was cut down in February 2013 and turned into a factory complex.
This Cache is very easy and most people will probably find GZ without leaving the computer. It is still worth taking the time to understand what it is that was located in the middle of an industrial area. You can view an article at: http://www.theleader.com.au/story/1330511/urban-forest-lost-as-500-trees-cut-down-on-industrial-site/?cs=1255 I look forward to the feedback in the logs by anyone who can provide information relating to it’s history.
You will need to know the name of the street you are in and then go to S 34° 02.013 E 151° 07.855 where you will identify the common name for the vegetation that you are standing under to reach your final location.
A = the number of letters in the street name.
B = the number of letters in the first word you would use to describe the type of vegetation.
C = the number of letters in the second word (plural) you would use to describe the type of vegetation.
GZ is at S 34 0 (C-B) . (A+C) (A) ( C-B*3) E 151 0 (A+A-1) . ((A/B)*2+C) (A+B)((C-B)*2)
