Earn a "Geocaching Road Trip'15 Souvenir for attending an Event between July 3 & September 2.
Diarise this event early: Winter in the Sutherland Shire Cachers’ Meet & Greet
The location for our Winter wonderland adventure for 2015 has been selected to allow for those who indicated that it could be great to go somewhere and camp for a weekend. I have been told it is not possible to have an event which incurs a cost for accommodation so the event is to only be as shown below.
It is expected that some people will take advantage of the location and join us to camp out over the Saturday night. If you plan to stay, you need to make your own bookings and it could be an idea to advise the organizers when you post your “Will attend” for the event.

You can also reconnect with cachers that you’ve already met.
