Wanting to add some more spice to the long distance Great Dividing Trails? How about some geocaching along the way. If you already have a GPSr then you are well on the way.
I am testing the public routes function of Geocaching Australia (GA) which they have kindly modified for this purpose. That will allow us to provide any GDT track with all Geocaching Australia caches within say 500m of that track. You will be able to view the track and caches within Google Maps. If you are registered with GA (free) then you can download to a GPX file, all the GA caches shown.
On the track, when you get near a cache you can start navigating to it. Most caches wil be accessible by bike. We expect to have a program of developing further cache hides to fill the blank spots.
In the meantime, check out the rideable caches in Wombat Forest. There are enough for 2 or 3 full day rides. And watch this blog for further developments.
