Geocache Description:


PLEASE DO NOT LOG A FIND ON THIS CHALLENGE UNLESS THE BELOW PROJECT-GC CHECKER VERIFIES THAT YOU QUALIFY. I WILL IMMEDIATELY DELETE ANY "FOUND IT" LOGS OF ANYONE WHO DOES NOT QUALIFY.

Stan Thorpe's Apple Number 30

Welcome to Stan's Apple, 36 mystery geocaches hidden around Stanthorpe, home to the Queensland Geocaching Mega-Event 2015. A variety of geocaches await, so get solving and organise a trip to the Granite Belt.

This cache is NOT at the published co-ordinates. But it can be found by applying the following offset -:

+S 00.039 -E 01.065


To complete this CHALLENGE cache, you must find 8 qualifying geocaches. Each of these 8 caches must be a unique type and ALL must have been found within a single calendar day.


A few extra Rules and Guidelines -:

  1. If you have PREVIOUSLY found 8 qualifying caches, you MAY log the CHALLENGE as FOUND as soon as you sign the logbook.

  2. You MAY use ANY type of cache (eg Traditional, Virtual, etc) as a qualifying cache - EXCEPT Lab caches.

  3. You MUST have logged your FOUND caches on geocaching.com before they can be used to qualify.

  4. You MAY NOT use this CHALLENGE cache as a qualifying cache.

  5. You MAY sign the logbook without having found 8 qualifying caches. However, you MAY NOT post a "Found it" log until you have fulfilled the requirements for the CHALLENGE.

  6. Any "Found it" logs that have NOT fulfilled the requirements for the CHALLENGE will be DELETED. "Log to follow" Found it logs (or similar) will be DELETED if the Challenge has not been completed.

  7. FTF honours will be awarded to the first cacher who fulfills the requirements of the CHALLENGE and also signs the logbook.


The Project-GC Checker below will ascertain if you qualify :

PGC Checker


Geocaching HQ's guidelines on CHALLENGE caches can be found here. On 25/05/16, Geocaching HQ released new guidelines for CHALLENGE caches. This CHALLENGE cache was published before this date and therefore is exempt from the new guidelines.


My thanks goes to oz_bean_counter for the help in creating a Project-GC Checker for this Challenge.
