Geocache Description:

This is a challenge cache. The final cache container is at the listed co-ordinates, however, you are not allowed to visit the final cache and log the logbook until you've met the challenge requirements.

This cache is inspired by a serries of caches by Beltfamily in New Zealand
The Bachellor of Geocaching Science B.GSc (visit link)
The Master of Geocaching Science M.GSc (visit link)
And my personal favourite, the Doctor of Geocaching Science D.GSc (visit link)

There is a chance that I'll bring these to Australia some time in the future, however, in order to qualify for Uni, you must first get through Schoolies.

To complete this challenge cache you must;

Find and Log caches with each of the 9 difficulty ratings (1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.4, 4, 4.5 and 5). => that's 9 different caches.

Find and Log caches with each of the 9 terrain ratings (1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.4, 4, 4.5 and 5). => that's 9 other caches.

Find and log 8 different types of caches (ie virtual, traditional, multicache, etc you choose which 8 you find).

Now for the fine print;
*Only caches listed on Groundspeak's geocaching.com web site can count for this challenge.
* You can only count an individual cache once for this challenge cache (ie as its difficulty rating or as its terrain rating or as its cache type).
* you will notice that the NZ caches linked on this cache page contain a requirement that only caches found and logged after this challange was published can be counted towards this challenge! Apparently I am no longer allowed to include this requirement in a challenge cache. It is therefore preferable (but not required) that only caches found and logged after this challange was published are counted towards this challenge! (after all, I'm sure that Australians are just as capable as Kiwis).
* Also, you may not claim any cache against this challenge cache that you have claimed or will claim against another challenge cache

How hard can it be? Find just 26 caches, meeting the above requirements and you've met the requirements to graduate from my geocaching school.

Please post a note on this cache page listing the qualifying caches when you meet this logging requirement.

You can then come to Whyalla on your Schoolies trip and sign the cache logbook so that you can log your find.
