Hi Ian, how rude of me not to reply sooner - sorry!

Geocaching is like a high tech treasure hunt for adults. At its most basic someone will hide a box with a log book in it somewhere in the world (normally with a reason for putting it in that particular place) then post the lat and long coordinates on the geocaching website. People will then download the details to a GPS (which can be a smartphone, but is normally a dedicated device) and search for it. Often they are hidden in bushland both to allow the searchers to get exercise and also to minimise the chance of someone just stumbling across it and destroying it.

There's a lot more to it than that but you can see why I call it an adult treasure hunt - my wife and I enjoy it mainly for the exercise.

Hi Ian, hope both Anne and you are well.
Thanks for the birthday wishes.

Hi Ian..
Hope you both have a wonderful trip.
What an adventure.. one I've been longing to do all my life.
It is probably time I stopped wishing and started doing. Hopefully Lachie will be at home more next year and enable me to get away more.. my beautiful big housemates (2 x German shepherd x maremma's) do make it difficult for me to get away.

Ian - you've got some lovely photos of your trip. I had a sneak preview last night.
Just home from a Melbourne Cup luncheon with my badminton group. I think I need a nanna nap as I worked this morning before I went there.

Hello Ian - thank you for your comment on my photos. It wasn't easy taking a lot of them. I had to zoom in a lot because our vehicle couldn't leave the track and some weren't all that close. Sometimes someone sitting next to you or in front got in the way or moved as you were about to click the camera, which didn't help, but I took a lot and have two albums of photos printed out.

Hi Ian (and Anne), is it your wedding anniversary today? Mine was yesterday and I have this feeling that not only are our birthdays a day apart, but wedding anniversaries too. Have a lovely day whenever it is!

Hi Ian, I just saw your comment on today's Medium. I'm sorry to ear you're in hospital mate, and particularly worried that it's with heart problems! I hope you get better very, very soon and can make an escape.

Best of luck Ian, I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you my friend.

Chris
