Geocache Description:


25 Challenges for 25 years of Geocaching!

This cache is NOT placed at the posted coordinates, GZ is listed as a visible waypoint.

To support Victoria's first ever Block Party, event mascot Muggle the Puggle has teamed up with geocachers across Victoria to place a range of caches for you all to find & enjoy. Whether you visit before, during, or after The Sunbury Event, we hope you enjoy your time in Sunbury & the surrounding areas of Hume.

This series of 25 Challenge Caches are all themed around the number 25 (some more loosely than others). Happy 25 years!

This challenge has not been deliberately designed to exclude or discriminate against any Geocachers, but to create a sense of achievement when you reach certain goals. Feel free to sign this cache at any time, but to claim the find you must qualify for the challenge. If you do not qualify, you may add a 'write note' log until such time that you do qualify. The challenge checker at the bottom of this page will tell you if you qualify. This challenge has been placed in compliance with the Challenge Cache Guidelines and the  Victorian Regional Policy.

Muggle the Puggle's Challenge #9 - 25 Years Placed Challenge

The first geocache was hidden by Dave Ulmer back on May 3, 2000, almost 25 years ago. Well over the past 25 years over 3 million more caches have been hidden. This challenge has been hidden in order to celebrate all the caches that have been hidden over the past 25 years 

In order to qualify for this challenge cache you need to find caches that were hidden in all of the first 25 years of geocaching, from the year 2000 through to 2024.
