2008 Riverland Geocaching Trivia
Filtering our GSAK database for geocaches within a 75 kilometre radius of our home with a “found” log during 2008 and then running a GSAK macro we were able to determine which geocaches were found the most in the Riverland in 2008.

Consolidating Domains
I have been trying to maintain WordPress blogs on three domains, and essentially not updating any of the three in a timely manner.

12 Volt Battery Instalation
Our Traveller caravan does not have a 12 volt battery set up.
As we would like to stay overnight in National Parks and/or bush camp we decided to fit a 12 volt battery and have access to some 240 volt appliances (TV, Satellite TV Decoder, Laptop, Battery Chargers, etc.) that are in the caravan.

UHF & CD/Tuner Fitted into Jackaroo
We have now installed the Uniden UHF radio and Pioneer CD/Tuner into the Jackaroo.
Our Jackaroo XS (1994)

Long Time Between Posts
I’ve finally found some time to update the website.
Over the past few days I’ve updated WordPress to version 2.7. Tweaked the CSS style sheets for the website. Exported content from my other domains and imported that content into this domain. This will result in me having to only maintain one website in lieu of the [...]

Dress Up Your Cache Pages
Ever wondered why some cache pages on geocaching.com are vibrant and full of colour whilst others appear rather plain!
The answer is that some cache pages are created using HTML whereas others are pretty much just text on a page.
