Geocache Description:


GPS Adventure Maze Down Under - Rutherglen

Are you ready for an A-Maze-ing Adventure?


A GPS Adventure Maze Exhibit is down under and will make it's fourth appearance at The Rutherglen Event (GC9MH9M) on the 8th of April, 2023.

The GPS Adventure Maze Exhibit is a rare event icon that originally appeared in the USA in 2007. The Exhibit, initially hosted by Geocaching HQ, travelled around the USA and Canada until 2015 before being retired. The Czech Geocaching Association were allowed to create their own maze in 2013 and it first appeared in Prague of that year.

This maze, created by Geocaching Victoria, will be the fourth maze in the southern hemisphere.

This is a really big deal!

But what exactly is it?

 

A GPS MAZE is a special type of event cache. It is a travelling educational exhibition that appears at MEGA and GIGA events and is designed to teach people of all ages about GPS technology and geocaching. Until now the Maze has taken place over 40 times around the world. Through partnership with Geocaching.com, we offer you the opportunity to visit a GPS Maze exhibition for the fourth time in Australia!

The very rare GPS Adventures Exhibit icon is earned by completing this Exhibit and signing the logbook.

This Adventure MAZE Exhibit is being brought to you by Geocaching Victoria, in association with Geocaching.com and through funding from some very gracious sponsors. But to make this maze absolutely A-Maze-ing, a very special group of geocachers assembled, called Foundation Friends of the Maze (FFOTM) who pledged their support and helped bring this incredible experience to Australia. However to get this GPS MAZE to Rutherglen, the crew need some support! Read on to hear about how you can help this A-Maze-ing experience make it to Rutherglen by becoming a Supporter of Rutherglen Maze.
