Hi Pesky, We struggled to find a postcard of our local area. It once was a holiday destination. you could catch a tram to Pittwater, then a coach down to the Beach, now its a crowded suburb with some ugly unit blocks, but excelent places to eat by the sea. The painter should have turned his easel around and painted the beac furnther north to long reef. that would have been a pretty post card.

Looks to me like an oilspill has washed ashore and has got a few kids stuck in it!

It's the pointy bit!

Maverick 4x4 ( a very New Geocacher) sent me this image, in place of a post card, as there aren't many tourist places up there, or post offices for that matter. (If you don't believe him, google earth the co-ords!) Google Sattelite Map

The image, so he tells me, is of the back of the sign that is on the high tide line of the tip of Cape York. He claims to have gotten his feet weyt taking the image.
Lucky he didnt get bit by a Saltie!.

Thanks Maverick , welcome aboard we are glad to have you as ONE OF US...ONE OF US

Colonel lights Back side

This card comes from the Stanleys.
They write:

You cant get a postcard of the suburb where we live so have gone for a landmark in the city.
S34'54.775 E 138' 35.648

It s interesting tht they show the back of the statue . Is it so you get a city view, or is the front side really too ugly?

Queenstown , NewZelands x-sports hub.

The C.O.D. Team handed this one overat a recent event, saved them the postage costs.

You asked for postcards , but since we live in the same area I thought I'd go on holidays before i sent you one, so it could be from somewhere else.

The caching is spectacular here, we've already met another cacher "kiwilegend". I'll tell you more when we get backabout the caching.

This card is from Ms Sassi and shows some views of the National Motor Museum in Birdwood.
She writes:
Hi Hi Doing a spot of touring around Adelaide hills on our way to Alice Springs, Stopped in on the National Motor museum in Birdwood, Cheers Ms Sassi.
P.S. Adelaide is my hometown but i live in Victoria now. ( must have completed all the caches in Adelaide!)

You'd have red eyes too...

This card of a red-eyed tree frog comes from the DDT's

They write:
Hi Pesky, this is our home town of Hahndorf in the Adelaide hills. It's Australia's oldest German town, with several buildings in the mains treet dating back to 1839. It is only a 10 minute drive down to adelaide where there are an abundance of caches to keep us busy, thanks for the locationless cache.
I've been to Hahndorf a long time ago... very quaint, it would be lovely to live there.

Cascade's of beer! - what a place to live

Another Tasweegian! Caxixi.

Hi there Pesky, the Cascade brewery is just down the road from me at S43'53.748 E 147'17.583

P.S. I hope the address is right as these 12 points are going to come in handy!

12 points? You'll have to explain yourself!

Angkor What?

This card is from Rapidsupreme,
sorry for the late posting I got side tracked by a cache event.

Sorry for the late posting, I received this postcard a week ago, but had to pass it by our censors before I could post it! please note the Strategicly placed compass roses!

Now this is the edge...The bottom edge!

Well this Isn't quite a Geocaching post card, but when else am I going to brag about getting a postcard from Antarctica?

My Mother In Law, the most intrepid explorer in our family, recently visited the Only continent she had not been to. She sent this card from the Chile Antarctic base, one of 3 stops on the ice they had whilst visiting.
She knew I liked stamp collecting and thought that it would be a pretty unique postmark to have in the collection.
I have included the reverse, to show the post mark and prove it wasn't a faked image.
thanks Mum!
( Now all I need to do is convince her to take a geocache and GPSr with her on her journeys!)

Ah Glenelg! A palindrome you can live in.

This card is from Richary,
it show some views of Glenelg in SA.

They write:
Glenelg was my home until recently - now I am on the other side of adelaide - But i doubt they have postcards for here,as it is middle class suburbia and not touristy.
P.S. I used to live in Narara ( pre geocaching)

Excelent card Richary

Allow me to introduce my cousin...

This rather amusing card comes from the Cheesy pigs!

Cheers Cheesy pigs.

I'm guessing the Cp's originate from somewhere south of Bass straight!
good one guys!

Hobart in Summer?

This one is from Snuva...

Dear Pesky Monkey,
This view of Hobart was taken from close-ish to S 42'51.438 E 147' 21.683 ( bugbears treasure)
I started Marking all the caches in the view but realised it would look like Hobart was covered in snow...

the view is of the city of Hobart and that big bridge( Tasman), with Mt. Wellington in the background.
Nice one Snuva!

Advertising for what?

This one's from The Spruce Mooses ( Meece?)

they had this to say:
Dear Pesky,
Aparently Albert Park ( VIC) is not worthy of its own Postcard, So I had to go for an advvertising one from the local cafe. This was the most amusing . Happy Caching and thanks for our first GCA cache find.

I still dont know what it's advertising! the phrase coming from the chickens mouth is "I dig french chicks" Ideas anyone?

They write:
G'day, Love the idea of this cache! we are only new to geocaching but we are already hooked. S:19'38.228 E:147'23.530 ( gcrvdm) These co-ordinates are that of a cache we have recently hidden near the Burdekin Bridge ( pictured) Actually there is a great photographic display of the bridge in Home Hill. Which is worth having a look at if you are ever in the Burdekin.

I find my self wanting to whislte the tune from the bridge over the river Kwai.
Thanks Burdair_3.

Although not technically a post card, the ever inventive Ginger loon has sent an interesting item via the post...

this Beer mat comes from the Bull & BUsh Pub ( Hotel).

Loon has this to say on his beer-post-card...

Everthing on this postcard is true!! the restaurant even has deep fried camenbert!!
Co-ords for the Bull and bush are S:33'45.709 E:150'59.550.
Regards from sunny Balkham hills.

I guess with a GPS there is no need for "show me the way to go home!" to be sung on the way home from this post card!

My First "by night" card!

Sent By: Wyoming Wombats.
a view of Wyoming By night.
the Wombats have modified it to say "all the time"

I am amazed to see there is actually a post card of Wyoming, a suburb of Gosford NSW.

I also wonder just how many of these "By Night" cards I might get.

the pictures are:
Scenic Railway, A statue of a horse, the Skyway at Katoomba,the Three Sisters( monotilhs) , a walkway through some unidentified tree area, a bird with a red hood, and a waterfall... LOL

The card does not name any of the locations so I had to guess at some of them.


The Shifty Shifters had this to say:
Thought we would send you a post card on the way back from our Caching weekend . Stopped to admire the views and find a cache or 3. Quite a successful weekend with 40 finds so far ( the weekend is not over yet!).. S33'43.964 E150'18.882 ( the cache location from the centre photo)

Geocache watercolor sketches

no mail today, so i was browsing the Blog search and found this...

Geocache watercolor sketches

an interesting blog, that shows what can be gained from a different slant on logging a geocache!

What is this all about?

If you're not one of the Geocaching fraternity, or perhaps not familliar with the Geocaching Australia website (GCA) ( http://www.geocaching.com.au) You may be wondering what all this is about...

Geocaching is a really cool fun activity, and this blog is part of a cache you can do without doing a "traditional style" cache.
GCA will allow you to post unusual format caches and this one is one of them
The only requirment to "score a find" for this one is to send me a post card of your favorite local view.
to find the postal addrress, go tothe listing page at http://geocaching.com.au/cache/ga0311
and answer the 4 questions there. then post the card off, thats all there is to it..

Oh if you want me to return the favour please ask for this on the postcardBy puttin R.S.V.P.
on it.
Also if you want to subscribe me to any catalogs or junk mailings, to the same address then thats fine with me too. I'm a junk mail junkie!

My Name Is...

Grank sent this one in:
It's from Gosford, on the scenic Central Coast of NSW.
