Makku Mob - Majura Park Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

Geocaching HQ Admin:
Mob caches were published as an experiment using specific technology that required players to be in the same place and to enter a code at the same time to learn the final coordinates. This was an exception to the guidelines at the time and is not a publishable concept today.

The original site used for this purpose has been removed, and therefore, HQ has decided to archive all active caches originally intended to be solved using this method. Due to privacy laws, we are not seeking an alternative site at this time. We are respectfully requesting that the cache owner please remove the cache container and contents as soon as possible.

Geocache Description:


The Mob Cache site has been retired.  It was fun while it lasted.  You can still find this cache with the coordinates on this page.

I have left the body below intact for posterity.    S 35° 17.636' E 149° 11.386'


There is no cache hidden at the posted coordinates, but you will need to start there (near the rocks).

There is no need to enter any commercial premises for any part of this cache!

There is plenty of shared parking near the starting coordinates.

In order to find the location of this cache, you will need to bring along some of your friends!

Have your gang of THREE meet at the posted co-ordinates.
You should pre-test that your phone's browser is compatible before attempting this cache. Do NOT use Chrome or a Chrome-based Browser.

Go the the Flash Mob URL: https://geotrailsw.com/mob/

Click 'Allow' if you see a button requesting device location.

You will see something like the following:


What is a geo mob?

It is not a flash mob event. It's similar though. A geomob allows you to create a physical geocache that requires a mob size of your choosing to collect themselves at a location of your choosing before the coordinates - or other message - is revealed. Everybody in the geomob will need a reasonably modern smart phone in order to participate.

It's a great type of cache to release at a geocaching event - a regular event or even a flash mob event. For an event you might want to have the mob size larger (such as 10 or more), but after the event bump it down to a smaller number such as 4.

Verify your phone is compatible

Before starting, make sure that the accuracy below is "reasonable", under 30 ft or so, and that the "read count" is updating.

If not, please make sure your GPS is on and that geolocation is enabled for the web browser your are using.

Current Location: S 27 39.734, E 153 07.913
[NOTE: If your S and E are zeros, your device's browser is NOT "location enabled": that is your BROWSER, not the device itself. 'Google' a solution for your browser.]
Accuracy (ft): 5.1 ft
Read Count: 16

Which mob are you attending?


  • Use this MobID: 3182
  • This is a Two-Stage Mob Cache. You will take a short walk to another location to discover the coordinates for the final location.
  • You will receive the directions and code for the next stage only when THREE fellow Geocachers are connected at the same time; i.e. your screen will show 3/3
  • Don't forget to write down the directions or coordinates and codes for each stage!

You can WALK to each stage and the final - they are not far away, and probably it's safer to keep your geo-vehicles where they are.

Good Luck!
