This page contains information specific to Geocaching Australia.

GCA provides, on the cache page, a link to be able to be verify your calculated co-ordinates or a codeword which will reveal the geocache coordinates for a cache, be it mystery or multi. You can find the link to co-ord checker (now called GeoChecker) in the navigation bar to the right on a cache page (if it's been activated).

There are three areas you can use to enter data on the geocache page when you are editing a listing you own:

Final Co-ordinates: This is where you enter the final co-ordinates for the actual hidden location of the geocache.

Codeword (50 characters, case insensitive): If you are hiding a codeword instead of co-ordinates in your puzzle you can enter the codeword here. It is not case sensitive. i.e. TEST and test and TeSt are functionally the same password. You could also hide a number string like 2567 which may be the combination to a lock where the combination is hidden in your puzzle and solving for the comination will reveal the final co-ordinates. Only complete this you are using a codeword hidden in your puzzle.

Codeword Response (255 characters, no HTML): If you would like to offer some more information or congratulations to a geocacher when they enter the codeword correctly you can enter the details here. This will be displayed to the geocacher after the have correctly entered the codeword. You can include additional information or leave this area blank.
