Girt.
Not a common word. Meaning surrounded. Our national anthem points out the fact that we are surrounded by sea. And we're talking really surrounded. Australia's oceans and seas include those off the mainland and its offshore territories. The Pacific, Southern and Indian Oceans as well as the Timor, Tasman and Coral Seas. No other country on the planet is as Girt by Sea.
The challenge is based on finding old caches in different countries. This would be substantially less difficult if you were based, for example, in Europe, where you may be Girt by other countries. But if you live in Australia, this challenge is DIFFICULT.
 The Challange: Find the oldest (or older) currently listed cache in a minimum of 3 countries.
