About This Item

The Australian territory of Christmas Island sits to the north west of Australia in the Indian Ocean.  Along with the Cocos (Keeling) Islands further to the west, it makes up the Australian Indian Ocean Territories.

Previously administered by the Singaporeans, the Island was acquired by Australia in 1958. It makes an odd addition to Australia's borders as it is closer to Indonesia (about 300km to the north) than the mainland, and as such has been a favoured landfall for asylum seekers as a means of entering Australia.  It has been a strategic holding from both a military standpoint and for it's phosphate resources.  It had even been considered as Australia's first space port.  Read more about the island on Wikipedia.

I've visited Christmas Island a number of times through my work -  a beautiful place not many people will see.

G'Day My Fellow Geocacher,

I’m DARKSIDEDAN aka Daniel from Canberra, Australia and I have had the pleasure of finding your Trackable Item during my travels as a Geocacher. I have added this trackable to my growing list of discovered items.

DISCOVERED AT THE FESTIVUS EVENT 23/12/19

I love discovering Geocaches, Trackable items and collecting Pathtags. I hope that you enjoy Geocaching as much as I do. For me geocaching is a way of life. When I am not Geocaching, I am thinking of Geocaching. I would like to say a very big thank you for releasing your trackable for the Geocaching Community.

Here is a little information about me. I have been geocaching since 2015. At the time of finding this cache I have over 6750 finds plus 400 hides. I am the creator of the “Duck Dip” Lab Cache that won 2nd Place for the Australian Capital Territory in the State Vs State - Battle of the Lab Caches at the OzGeoMuster - The Gong Mega 2019 in Wollongong, Australia.

It was my love of Geocaching that helped me find my Wife. I have dedicated a Geocache to her that explains how Geocaching brought us together. That Cache is The Blueiris of Tidbinbilla by DARKSIDEDAN. | GC80WHA | Australian Capital Territory, Australia.

Now let’s talk Pathtags. Currently I have over 7400 Pathtags in my collection plus about 500 EXtagz. I currently have two of my own Pathtags (45762 & 46950) with another one in the works.

In 2019, I won the right to place a Virtual 2.0 Cache from Geocaching.com, but I have not placed it yet. I am just trying to find somewhere that is worthy of a Virtual Cache.

Here is an Original and One of a Kind, Geocaching Poem that I have written. I hope that everyone who reads it gets some enjoyment out of it.

Geocache Poem by DARKSIDEDAN

My endless search goes on and on
Looking for treasures of every kind
Always chasing just one more find
Putting past DNF’s out of my mind
I step out into the world outside,
Seeking what is hidden from me
What size, shape or form will it be?
Only time will tell, I can’t wait to see
Will I find my prize at the end?
I will search in the failing light and cold
Filling with despair having looked everywhere
Where is this thing that gives my life pleasure?
Looking all around from every angle
I read the logs and check the hint
I curse out loud as I walk in circles
Screaming the bloody thing it not there
As time flies by and I fail to see,
Never once stopping to realize
It always been there before my eyes
No need for sorrow, there’s the Geocache.
