How Geocaching Works

Geocache Description:

Traveling between Alice Springs and Uluru, this Free Camp / Picnic Area provides a great location to break up the trip and take in an abundant amount of wildlife.


2Lost-Souls has agreed to undertake maintenance as required for this cache.

There is a water tank, picnic shelter and abundant locations to set up camp at this location. Remember to bring a pen/pencil. There is only room for small Geocoins.

On our overnight stay we were visited by many birds in the evening and during the night Dingoes. Please take care to secure all doors and do NOT feed wildlife.

We were able to enjoy a great sunset, night sky identifying many stars and an even better sunrise.

FTF goes to YorksRicknSue. Their 2203 rd find. They are based in York, UK and I am guessing this will be the furthest FTF for them from their home.

The use of spoilers:

The introduction of Social media to showcase caching activities is now starting to expand and I can see that over a period of time, more people will get involved and showcase their activities through this medium.

I believe that it takes away the experience that Geocaching offers. Tat for every person undertaking a cache hunt, it should be like they are the first to discover it. It is as much about the journey of finding the cache (working out the puzzle, thinking about where a cache might be hidden etc) as it is about finding the cache and racking up the numbers. Geocaching can take you to some beautiful and completely unexpected places. If someone has seen it on a Social media site, then the experience will no longer be a new experience.

It has been the reason why many people who have hidden caches check their logs regularly and remove spoiler images or logs. Geocaching is a controlled environment where the ownership and presentation is in the hands of the cache owner. The use of social media takes the ownership away from the cache owner and places it in the control of those working to discover the cache and present a story on an external medium. Once it has been presented on Social media, there is nothing a cache owner can do to remove it.

Geocaching is a game that everyone plays in their own way. The way Geocaching is set up means that every time a person finds a cache it is a new experience for them because they find it themselves and comment on their experience as a new finder, hopefully without a spoiler. After viewing a few spoiler reports on Social media and having to take action to remove spoiler activity presented in logs through Geocaching lately, I am requesting that this cache is not used for a Social media presentation. Please respect my request.
