Latest DECC Google Earth Data

googleearthlayerGeocaching NSW has recently obtained the latest Estate Data from the DECC for all lands controlled by them. It has been converted into a compatible KML for Google Earth. As geocaching in any form is not allowed in National Parks and other lands under the DECC's control, it makes it invaluable when plotting where you may be going to place a cache.

This data was published by the DECC at the end of 2009, so it is the latest data we have to work with. There does not appear to be many differences between this and the previous data. However, with this version, it the areas have been broken down and colour coded based on the estate type, such as National Parks, Reserves, Aboriginal Sites etc. Each type is further broken down into folders, so, with a single click in Google Earth, you can turn an entire estate type off.

As always, when new data becomes available, we will process and post it here for all to use. You can download the latest KML zipped down HERE this new file is approx 14.83 MB in size. The last few versions of Oziexplorer support Google Earth, making this a very handy reference.

Geocaching NSW 2009 geocoin

The 2009 coin is a beautiful custom NSW shaped coin with the association's logo and mint year on one side and on the reverse, that iconic NSW natural attraction - The Three Sisters at Katoomba. We have even included the GPS co-ords just in case you have trouble finding them.

The coins are trackable and also have their own 2009 custom icon. Proceeds from the sale of the coins will go towards the funding of the association.

These are sure to become a collector's item being the very first coin ever made by the association.

Minted in a stylish gold metal finish, we are sure you will love these coins as much as we do.
