Geocache Description:


Kaffee Kache - a cache to celebrate when we have shared a chat over coffee with fellow geocachers.


Preliminaries:

  • There is no need to enter any commercial premises for any part of this cache!
  • Please use the roadside footpaths where possible, and take care in crossing any roads.

The Location:

From the earliest colonial times, the plain extending south into the centre of the present-day territory was referred to as Tuggeranong: the name Tuggeranong is derived from a Ngunnawal expression meaning “cold place”. Cave paintings and Aboriginal artifacts discovered in the area confirm that the Tuggeranong region has been occupied by the original inhabitants, the Ngunnawal people, for over 21,000 years

Today, Tuggeranong is a set of contiguous residential suburbs consolidated around Lake Tuggeranong, in addition to vast pastoral leases that extend south.  Current suburbs in the Tuggeranong duistrict are:

    Banks
    Bonython
    Calwell
    Chisholm
    Conder
    Fadden
    Gilmore
    Gordon
    Gowrie
    Greenway
    Hume

    Kambah
    Macarthur
    Monash
    Oxley
    Richardson

Technical details:

This Kaffee Kache is an interactive mystery geocache. It requires a smartphone. It is a unique way of stringing together virtual and physical waypoints. Thus, it is part virtual cache, part multicache, part puzzle cache, and part adventure lab. What more could one want?

A Kaffee Kache does not require any specific hardware or software - just internet access and a browser.  There is no need to download any Cartridge or App.
